Loved the food and ambiance. We tried Salmon and beef teriyaki, quantity was perfect and tasted delicious. Loved the ambiance of restaurant. Will definitely come again to try sushi as they have some good options.

Tanuki is definitely one of our favorite places for the freshest and largest variety of sushi in Dubai, but also offers a Pan-Asian menu with the emphasis on Chinese and Japanese food cooked fresh. Here you have the option to sit indoors or outside, near the Dubai Fountains. Indoors, there is a huge cherry blossom tree, adding a Japanese touch to the whole ambiance. Also, the kitchens are open, so you can actually watch the sushi being prepared, fresh on the spot.
Of the huge assortment of sushi and maki rolls they offered, we went for the Arigato, a medley of avocado, shrimp, arugula, and cucumber. The Mango Pleasure was a mix of seafood, cream cheese, and mango. My favorite was the Alaska; a yummy mix of crab, pineapple, avocado, and spicy mango sauce. For our mains, we tried the beef teriyaki with rice and seafood with egg noodles.
The desserts for quirky, sweet versions of maki: the kuro eru—sweet kiwi maki with cream cheese, pineapple, banana, strawberries, and almonds. Also, the divine mango and peach cheesecake maki rolls were delicious.
The Salmon Teriyaki is a must try . It is exceptionally good . The sushis is among the best i had . Keep it up ...

One of the last two restaurants I dined at in early March, @tanukidubai offers an incredible selection of Japanese dishes right from different types of sashimi and sushi rolls to miso, katsu, tempura, noodles and more. My favorites from the dinner included arigato rolls, chili garlic edamame, shrimp tempura and yasai yakisoba.
My new fav sushi spot!
What a FAB way to start of my dine-in at Tanuki. Exactly for what wanted, crispy shrimp and a saucy finish! Nothing less and nothing more.
What did I love about my dine in?
- Great ambiance and quick service
- Ample of seating space - I had to mention this cause I noticed most Japanese restaurants have really limited seating.
- Fresh sushi rolls.
- Decadent variety of main course and sushi options.
- A good mix of standard rolls and fusion.
- Budget friendly dine in.
- Available on entertainer as well.
All in all a pretty cosy and pleasant sushi joint located at the Dubai Mall.
QUALITY/SERVICE/BUDGET/OVERALL: 5/5
Highly recommended. Don’t miss out!
Very delicious food, loved all options that i ordered. Good value for money. Loved miso soup as well.

We revisited Tanuki in Dubai Mall as they introduced some new items to their menu. We have always enjoyed their Sushis and after trying the new menu, we have become a fan of Tanuki. Definitely worth visiting again and again. This time we saw a lot of crowd as this place is becoming popular day by day.
We started with their fresh Edamama soya beans with sea salt. This is like an appetizer while we wait for the Sushis.
We started with their newly introduced Sensei Sushi which is a shrimp Tempura of Avocado, cream cheese, Chilli Pepper and Mix Sauces. The mix sauces are superb in taste and the combination of the fillings left us craving for more.
Arigato Sushi is with shrimp, arugula, Avocado and Cucumber in Unagi sauce. This one is our old time favourite in Tanuki.
Another new introduction is their EBI Tempura which is crispy fried Shrimps with Tentsuyu sauce. The crispiness of the prawns tempura makes it very crunchy. This one is a super hit Sushi. I am glad they introduced this.
Mango EBI Sushi is Shrimp Tempura with Mango, Cucumber & truffle oil. This gives a sweet and salty taste of the tempura and the mango topping.
Tsurai EBI Tempura is Shrimp tempura in Dynamite sauce. This is another new introduction. Dont miss this one.
Try their ever green fresh juices and smoothies, Kiwi Celery, Avocado Mint and Mango Berries. You will love all the three specially the Mango Berries.
Tanuki is one of my favourite Japanese restaurants in Dubai .All food very delicious and very fresh ,very fast delivery, amazing service!Love this restaurant and will order more and more 🍤🍣🥟😋
Amazing sushi, totally recommend the sushi set 3 !
7 years of visiting Dubai mall, probably this is the best Restaurant for sushi I came across, the variety is tremendous, you must try the deluxe sushi it's simply best ever, and the Dynamite shrimps no one can beat them!! The service was super great. A special thanks to Sara who had a warm attitude, very much customer focused and kind
If you are a fan of sushi and great Japanese food, trust me you don't want to miss this,
Larson is just awesome and great in customer service,
What a great delivery, the sushi had right temperature, food was so fresh and Delicious love it simply amazing
Salmon with right took my heart away,
Keep it up
Super tasty food and very fast delivery! Definitely will recommend!!! Amazing!!
Pan-Asian Cuisine is not easy to master, due to which many people tend to dislike it. However, if you're a fan of this cuisine or wish to change your perception regarding it, then Tanuki should be your number 1 choice. This place serves one of the most delicious Unagi Tofu, Sushi, Spicy Sake Gunkan and Tanuki Yam. Each of these items were cooked to perfection, well-seasoned, flavourful and piping hot. The beverages are also refreshing, chilled and tasty. The ambiance of this place is elegant, sophisticated and aesthetic. The presence of white trees gave an enchanting look to the entire place. So, if you want great food and an equally great ambiance, you know where to go! @Tanuki
Amazing food and amazing quality of ingredients used! Best sushi in town and their friend rice is amazing! Such fresh salmon! Definitely going to order again!
Recommended big time- I consider it one of the best sushi Resturant in dubai - taste soooo good - just love it, food is amazing and service on very good level .

🧡 recommend. Amazing food and service
Fresh sushi! Fast delivery! Super tasty! Highly recommend the California rolls 😍
Love this place. It’s definitely the best sushi in Dubai. I’ve tried Tanuki in other countries and finally it’s open in Dubai. It didn’t disappoint. We ordered Ramadan bundle and Philadelphia rolls, everything was delivered fast and all food was amazing. Look on the picture at amount of salmon in Philadelphia roll. Prices are also good, for this quality it’s nothing
Delivery of the order was carefully packed and prepared. I ordered several Ramadan offers which included miso soup, salad, edamame, rolls and main course of your choice. The food was very delicious and fresh. And the price for the offer is really valued. Special thanks for the team for the miso soup. It was very delicious and up to my taste. Also the food was served with sauces and ginger with wasabi. One thing that I mentioned what can be improved is a small quantity of a soy sauce . Next time will mention in the comments to add more for me during making the order, as I love soy sauce.
Amazing online service with great delivery experience,
Ordered 3 of the Ramadan bundle for only 100dhs, great quantity of food, very filling and best of all taste is amazing. I loved everything but my favourite was the sushi it was soo fresh as usually when I have sushi delivered it's never as fresh but this one was just amazing.
Loved everything❤
My favorite was seafood ramen soup ,sushi were delicious and adamame was great ,and beautiful Ramadan set ,prices were surprisingly low ,fantastic place for sushi lovers
Honestly this was some of the best sushi I've had. The traditional sushi was melt in your mouth perfection and the fusion sushi was absolutely delicious. They have ample seating and they close fairly late.
Loved this place for their food and service. The staffs were friendly and attentive.
Tried few of their dishes. Miso soup, chilly garlic edamame both were good. Loved the salad EBI sando. The Tsurai EBI tempura was amazing. The sushi platter will be a perfect one foe sushi lovers
Liked the beef teriyaki..
Mango and peach cheesecake was yummm.
Loved this place fkr good food and beautiful ambience 😍
I highly recommend it 👍🏻 I went as a media review so I didn’t pay but I didn’t receive any money in return; it’s my honest personal experience
Loved the ambience of the place! The food was delicious. Will visit again.
Their food is good. Very nice ambiance of the burj khalifa.
Thanks to Yami for being so nice and making me and my friends feel really cozy and enjoyed our dinner.
Well am in dubai since 2 weeks. I came to Tanuki the first time to eat sushi, but the next 2 times I came because of Yamin.. She was very welcoming, energetic and attractive...
Great staff Tanuki..
Ms. Yami is one the best server.
Vishnu Narayanan and I came here on a monday and they had all maki rolls plate for dhs25 which is a really good deal. We tried the spicy california and more maki rolls which tasted very fresh and very delicious and filling.
The ambience of the place was very nice especially the decor. A great place for a fancy sushi dinner for a resonable price.
So it’s 2020 and everyone has their new year resolution in place and I am sure the number one is to eat healthy but not bland. And which doesn’t hurt your pocket as well!
One such restaurant which dishes out delicious Asian cuisine is @tanukidubai and they have calories count listed for every dish incase you don’t go haywire with your diet.
5 thumbs up for the quality and taste of the food , the arigato , prawns tempura, chicken Katsu curry ,yasai yakisoba and miso soup are excellent with the right amount of salt and flavoring and is filling as well
So all the fitness freaks and clean eaters and who all want to eat healthy head to @tanukidubai
What’s more they have an outdoor area overlooking the dubai mall promenade which is perfect for the weather now!

I've been to Tanuki several times, their food is amazing. If you like tom yum soup you should try their Tanuki-yam, so delicious. I always order sake pizza and some of my favourite rolls are chili taki, tanuki kogase, dragon, tempura nori.
Thanks chef Andrew for your hospitality.
The sushi is very good here, but some of them felt not very fresh. Most of it though was really great. Also I loved the staff, they were super friendly. Atmosphere is just basic since it is in Dubai Mall and it is very crowded place always. The view to Burj Khalifa is nice.
The food tastes awfully good especially the platter of sushi served 💯. The staffs were really friendly and accommodating. This place is highly recommended!!👍
Food is great, service is good, especial mention to Billy
The food and service was great. The avocado sesame salad and buckwheat noodles were particularly delicious. The chef and server made special efforts to prepare s vegetarian bun/bao that wasn't on the menu. Thank you!
I’ve been hearing a lot of good stuff about this Japanese restaurant (Tanuki) for quite a while but it was only last month that we were able to finally try it. Well, rumor has it everything was so good. Me and my husband tried 3 sushi varities and Tanuki did not fail us. The ambiance was also very nice, it’s a Japanese themed restaurant with a modern touch (I’m talking about the led display on the ceiling and of course the robot! Definitely coming back :)
Visited Tanuki on a Thursday night for a dinner date. Their entrance has a cool robot on which you can place your order. We decided to sit under a sakura tree with the background having samurai swords. The interiors are really cool and they have a great outdoor seating also with views of the Burj Khalifa
We started off with some Poke Salad and Katsu BBQ buns (the buns were amazing and a must try!). Our main courses was the Beef Teriyaki (good dish) and a platter of Maki Rolls . For drinks we ordered their freshly brewed Peach Iced Tea and Lemonade. Finished off with a creamy Tiramisu while looking at the Burj and distant fountain show. The service was quick and its a great place to drop in after you have had your shopping fix. They also have an amazing 50% Tuesdays deal that I feel is an amazing deal

It’s a very beautiful place and our experience was very satisfying.
You should definitely check this place out if you are looking for novelty on your platter. .
Highly recommend the kids Bento 🍱 Box.
The ambience of this restaurant is spectacular where they have a small little robot at the entrance of the restaurant holding up the menu. The staffs are friendly dressed up in the Japanese robes. We tried several sushi's here where the best dish was the chia pudding for dessert.

Asian food are one of the best to Dine on. My fondness over Asian food has grown for the past 2 years. It never fails to impress with flavors and Uniqueness by taste experience. Tanuki is the best restaurant to experience some of the Asian delicacies with families, kids and get-together. Once entered welcomed by the Tanuki Robot thats very social and one of the funniest robot interaction. Interiors speak aloud the Asian culture like the Japanese cherry blossoms all from a tree. On the walls are decored with Katana swords or Samurai Swords giving the complete look of a Japanese HOme. Tables of wooden structures adorns the center stage. Lots of Asian home architectures captures the whole restaurant. Live cooking kitchen gives the immense pleasure how sushis and other menu is created in front of you. Restaurant also provides outside dining option as the winter is approaching this better be the go-to restaurant with views of Burj Khalifa so evident.
Lets talk about the food.
As a mom i am the happiest dining Asian restaurants since the staffs take such good care of the Kids needs and wants including Menu particularly designed for them. Tanuki Menu for kids food ordered by my daughter consisted of YakiSOba Tori, Tori Maki, Fruit salad, smiley nuggets
and Fresh Orange Juice. I loved how it was presented in a multi segrated tiffin kind of plate. Tori is Chicken and all the dishes were out of chicken as the base, Noodles was the buckwheat noodles, Sushi was cute too.
DRINKS
MANGO BERRIES SMOOTHIE - bEING A fan of smoothies love it when its thick and shakiesm. This mango and berries combo was so relish, refreshing and relaxation. It was a total quench to the thirst. Both the fruit flavor were subtle.
AVOCADO MINT SMOOTHIE - This was the other delish smoothie. There was no overpowering of mint flavor in the smoothie. Again it was thick and shakeism. Smoothies were a real deal. It was true to its flavor until the end of the sip.
SOUPS & EDAMAME
CHILI GARLIC EDAMAME - oH MY I AM BESOTTED by Edamame. Chili Edamame is just another level altogether. Smothered in chili garlic soy sauce the soy beans were so fresh and boiled well. Give me this i can have it like POPCORN. FFFINNGGERRR LICCCKIIINGGG DELICIOUSSSSS
TORI RAMEN -
Ordered oshizushi and beef yakisoba. Well the yakisoba is not exactly what Japanese people can cal yakisoba but still it was tasty. The oshizushi was very nice with quite rich salmon in fat and flavoring was also exquisite!
Looking for a Pan-Asian restaurant restaurant, @tanukidubai #thedubaimall is a good option for a casual lunch or dinner. The first impressionis great with a “state-of-the-art robot” that welcomes guests at the entrance and interacts with customers and the Staff is friendly. Signature dishes include the Tanuki tom yam soup, Tanuki shinsei maki with crab, salmon and tobiko, along with a selection of maki rolls featuring eel and cream cheese, California hot maki and Philadelphia unagi maki.
The restaurant also serves handmade dim sum and xian long bao with chicken, truffle and seafood, as well as a selection of wok-fried noodles and rice dishes.
Really impressed by the prompt service and great ambience because of there interior design. Some dishes were 5 stars and some were 2 stars. Seafood tyhan and seafood funchoza were tasteless and not cooked properly. Mochi and tiramisu were great but not worth the money in order of quantity . Tempura nori and tsurai ebi tempura stole the show .
The ambiance of this place was so relaxing and the food is grate. We feel like we’re in Japan.
We went to the one at Dubai Mall. The food here is okay and the service also is quite nice, though slow. The quantity of the food served is okay.
We had the chicken katsu curry (which is okay); BBQ Katsu bun (this was good) and Noodles (which was good also).
Food was okay, nice ambiance because of their japanese theme interior design. But the service is slow, one main course came super late, we’re almost finished with our food when it was served.
Really enjoyed my dining experience here last night. Every Tuesday they have an offer of 50% off on the total bill and my family and I decided to take that up.
We ordered the chilli Thai sushi which was really yummy and I perfect for Thai food lovers. The flavors are so distinct and different from any other sushi I’ve had before
We also ordered the Mexican sushi, the California hot and the prawn tempura sushi. Of these my favourite was deffinitely the fried prawn tempura sushi it was crunchy and delicious. They have such a huge variety of sushi’s and many of them have a very distinct taste.
I would also recommend to try the ramen and the tanuki yam soup was delicious.
With the offer of 50% off my bill was pretty reasonable and I can’t wait to come back ❤️
The restaurant is nice and cozy and the staff is very kind. The sushi rolls , nigiri and sashimi were all good overall. However, the ramen was served almost cold and with too little noodles in my taste.
But overall it’s good place for sushi.
Lovely environment. With the price. I found the food is pretty amazing. Fresh and taste good. Would love to go there once in a while!
We ordered Ramen chicken/egg noodles last night and it was great. I ordered again today and the portion or at least the noodles are half . Hardly enough for 1
Food:
I ordered grilledceel, caviar, prawn and all were fresh, soft and delish.
Service: excellent and professional.
Seatings are not comfy though.
I liked the food, it was very tasty. But the portions of the rolls are small.
I ask you to make large rolls of 8 pieces.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful decor, friendly staff and excellent sushi all in all the perfect combination for a great dining experience. Definitely visiting again !!
Their 50% off on Tuesdays promotion is heaven!!!! We were two, and we ordered six plates of sushis and a xialongbao, plus drinks! Yep, we nailed it! We really enjoyed our meal. Plus, the service was prompt and great considering the fact that the place was full. Will definitely come back again and again!

A robot 🤖 took our order ? Isn’t that something new?
@tanukidubai ,which is located on the ground floor of Dubai mall,takes things to another level as diners here are greeted by a state-of-the-art robot.As I entered the restaurant I was in awe of the interior details, it almost felt like I was in Japan,you can spot cherry blossom tree’s & samurai swords ⚔️ within the restaurant.
@tanukidubai specializes in Japanese 🍣🍱& Chinese 🍜 cuisine. They also serve handmade dim-sum which are delicious.Each dish is handcrafted & well presented , with a careful attention to the harmony of ingredients..This made our meal a marvelous experience.
The staff here were super attentive & welcoming, special thanks to Miss Jenni who was the perfect host... she kept Miss A entertained & kept suggesting us their best dishes.
They have an outdoor seating as well which gives you the opportunity to enjoy the spectacular views of Burj Khalifa & the Dubai fountain.
All good things have sweet endings😁 so we ended our meal with their desserts 🍮which were equally Scrumptious 😋
The food ,taste , quantity & quality were totally worth the time ⏰ & calories 😜

Yum yum yum!! Sushi haven if u’ve been craving for fresh, good quality sushi, good ambiance and lovely staff. Gonna be my go to place ever time I’m in Dubai mall!
My new go to place when it comes to Maki Sushi and also because of their dim-sums. Their sushi is fresh, well made and unique! My favorite to order is Arigato and Chili Thai for their maki rolls and shumai for starters. Love the unique maki rolls they have created and they are very flavorful. Staff is friendly and attentive. Always visiting for their Monday Maki Madness (25dhs per maki roll order). They also have 50% of on total bill every Tuesday and 20dhs for dim-sums every Wednesday. Give 4 out of 5 since not a fan of their main courses.
