Sushi is the most common Japanese ingredient category in the world. As long as it is a Japanese ingredient store, sushi is basically indispensable. Although Japanese restaurants in Dubai have begun to take different cooking styles - such as restaurants featuring izakaya, Japanese Wagyu or Japanese ramen, sushi is never the classic that cannot be avoided. Even in some international buffets, there are places left for sushi.
Recently, I dug up a very hidden sushi restaurant in Dubai - 99 sushi bar, which is impressive in sushi. And it is also a global restaurant chain, with great success in Madrid, Barcelona and Abu Dhabi.
99 sushi bar is located in the Address downtown hotel, but it is connected to Dubai Mall, so it is very convenient to go to eat while shopping. is not only a great location to appreciate the Burj Khalifa light show, but also enjoy the hotel's valid parking and legal drinking.
alcoholic beverage categories are also very rich
The restaurant layout environment has got rid of the Japanese style styling aesthetics, with a very international and integrated style, full of modernity. There is an indoor dining area and an outdoor dining area. Both indoor and outdoor include a bar. You can enjoy the style of the tallest building while having a drink. Compared to the lively atmosphere in Dubai Mall, 99 sushi bar has a kind of quietness and hidden in the city.
99 sushi bar's dishes are very creative. Unlike traditional sushi, it uses many fusion concepts to increase the communication between different ingredients. Many sushi make people overjoy it, and it can also make people clearly feel the restaurant's attentiveness to sushi cuisine.

Capumiso Soup 5
This soup is very interesting. We all know that Miso Soup (Miso Soup) is standard in Japanese dishes, and miso, kelp and tofu are indispensable. But as soon as the soup was opened, you could smell the smell of black truffle coming from your nose. There was still dense foam floating on the soup, which was actually milk foam made from soy milk, which was very creative. Let’s look at the Capumiso in the name of this soup. Isn’t it the root of cappuccino? The restaurant refined the tofu that should have in Miso soup into soy milk, then beat it into milk foam and injected it into Miso soup, allowing the fragrance of the tofu to be completely emitted. After drinking it in one sip, the mellow fragrance of Miso and soy milk burst out together, activate the taste buds in an instant!
Big fat tuna raw
"Toro" refers to the meat with the most fat on the tuna. "Toro" can also be divided into big fat, medium fat and naked according to the part. The most plump and pinkish-white part in Toro is called "big fat", and the rest are called "middle fat". Big fat means tuna has the most fat on the belly and is also the most expensive part.
This big fat fish dish is like a plate of top A5 frost wagyu beef from a distance, but it tastes like a fatty fish meat, accompanied by Albergina olives (a small olive variety with unique flavor) and tomatoes, which instantly set off the most beautiful umami flavor of Tuna.
sashimi platter
sashimi platter itself has nothing to say. Generally, as long as the ingredients are fresh, the ingredients are high-quality, and the knife skills are online, it is a good sashimi. But in addition, there is also an assessment for the Japanese restaurants that are not particular about whether to use freshly ground mustard.
99 sushi bar is used to directly peel the mustard roots and prickly prickly on the spot. Fresh freshly ground mustard does not have the very scent of it, but it has a little more fragrance, so it won’t make you feel uncomfortable if you put it in more. Generally, only high-end Japanese restaurants will be equipped with freshly ground mustard.
Sea bass & scallops Raw fish
I don’t know when it started, but the vermicelli originated from Peru’s folk fish ripe quietly boarded the big ship in the Japanese restaurant. Marinated seafood with lemon juice, drizzled with tiger milk, which is the classic sauce of raw fish (made of lime, onion, pepper and spices). The side has made some innovations, using pea puree sauce to balance the flavor, and the entrance is very rich! You will know this wonderful taste after you taste it.
- Main course Sushi -
99 sushi bar has no main course, the only main course is sushi, which is in line with the store name. I don’t know if there are really 99 kinds of sushi. The sushi in the store also provides pre-plate service. The sushi restaurant can complete the dishes in person, and guests can also interact with the sushi chef. However, the number of this service is limited and you need to make an appointment with the restaurant in advance.
Because there are too many categories, I will choose some that are amazing to me to talk about.
Truffle Foie Gras Sushi
Truffle Foie Gras Sushi, which combines French food and Japanese sushi, has been popular in the Japanese sushi world in the past two years. This dish from 99 sushi bar can be said to be the most delicious I have ever eaten recently. The top is fried quail poached egg with black truffle, the middle is sushi rice and foie gras, and the bottom is thin and crispy seaweed. When you bite it, you will first find the scent of the whole piece of large truffle, which is a fusion with the thin and crispy one, followed by the fat smell of the unique foie gras wandering between the lips and teeth, which is completely reminiscent.
Alaska King Crab Warship
Just listening to the name is very domineering. The variety used for king crab here is "TARABAGANI", which is the cod farm crab, one of the three major crabs in Japan. The crabs in the cod farm have thick legs, full crab meat, and delicious crab paste. They are a popular top seafood ingredient in Japan. The part of the sushi on the white roll was found in bean curds, so it was used to match the deliciousness of cod crabs and make the overall taste soft and glutinous. I also have to sigh that they have brought the research and development of soy products to the extreme.
Spanish Red Shrimp Sashimi & Cuckoo Sashimi
This fresh Shrimp Sashimi is really the best visual in the whole venue. There are sashimi sushi and roasted sushi. Red Shrimp is sashimi, and the white Norwegian crayfish is made into roasted sushi, which tastes very delicious.
The most attentive thing is the shrimp head. I wonder if there are any friends who love to suck shrimp head like me. Although it is a sashimi, the chef carefully cooks the shrimp head until it is cooked and drizzles it with sauce. The sucking feeling is like a ritual feeling like sucking your fingers after eating a pack of potato chips, pushing the food journey to a climax. So, don’t just finish sushi!
roasted sushi series
roasted sushi is the wealth code of today's Japanese cuisine. Top ingredients such as wagyu beef, tuna, and scallops are slightly roasted with a musket, which can bring out rich oils and the tempting fragrance that makes people saliva. It can be said that it is a real blessing for friends who don’t like to eat fish.
In general, 99 sushi bar is one of the few Japanese food restaurants in Dubai. It is more like an international Japanese food restaurant that integrates the concept of Western food. While being able to eat classic Japanese food, I also carefully developed my new understanding of Japanese food. And this innovation is not sensational, it has an amazing taste. I highly recommend everyone to taste it.
