I booked a table through WhatsApp. Responsive and it is a nice small place. The staff are very helpful and nice to the guests!

I liked the idea how they have two rolls in each plate, this allows you to try a greater variety and reducing waste.

The waiter asked us for an option to be served on the table or pick the plates yourself. I went with the self service option.

The plates are clear and you get a variety of rolls, fried calamari, tempura, salmon, fish.

The crab salad is delicious and fresh.
The rolls are nice, some have mango and strawberry topping which is unique and sweet.
There are some rolls that only were made once however upon asking about them the staff immediately requested the chef to make them which is a great thing.
The quality is also proper and hygiene of the place is upto standards.

I mostly enjoyed the crab salad. Salmon rolls. And tuna.
I would have liked to see some nigiri, i didn't ask for them but i only saw like two plates. One with eel and the other is tuna.
Sashimi is limited to 3 plates per person. Which is alright.

On top of that you get a starter miso soup and a soft drink of your choice.
I just would have liked if the belt was operational to experience the real ucci offering, however due to the circumstances I'm happy with what they got.

Will definitely give this another go in the near future. Make sure you call and book your visit ahead since the place has few tables and seats due to social distancing.

Thank you to the staff that were always around and enhanced our meal.

Was there yesterday.... you got yourself a fan.. loved everything about the place .. from the ambiance, the light music, the staff and especially the food... most of all every different variety was available in the all you can eat package... unlike the other so-called sushi joints where it’s mainly the rolls and nothing else.. you had me on my sashimi.. and the crab salad.. wow... couldn’t fault anything... so pleased... so so so pleased..
thank you...

Don’t forget to turn into the service lane for parking as you are approaching this hotel. Turn at the hotel before. After trying a few AYCE-“All You Can Eat” sushi restaurants, this place is by far the best. Unlike the rest of the AYCE, this place is actually nice and their sushi/maki are done properly. Won’t fall apart when you grab it with chopsticks. I am so tired of that o started boycotting sushi place that can’t even get that right. UCCI ( I believe it means Fragrance) , will cost you more than the other AYCE and they should. UCCI is better than the rest.

Salma Soueidan and I went for their all you can eat sushi night....and boy did we feast!!! Not disappointed at all :) The auto belt definitely satisfied our sushi addiction and we will be going back again very soon! Atmosphere was nice and quiet, the sushi & crab salad were delicious. The miso soup could get better and would love to see the shrimp tempura on the belt next time. Sashimi could be ordered at no extra charge but wasn't on the belt.

The auto belt was a new thing to my friends and I, it was something amazing. We loved everything about it. The atmosphere was great and the sushi was sooooo good. I would have loved to have some of the shrimps tempura in the belt or edamame but the sushi and salad were super delicious. We took the 79 dirhams all you can eat sushi with a soft drink. We also parked in the hotel's parking.
The staff is very friendly and we are coming back soon.

I was surprised by the quality of the food and catering to allergies. As soon as I informed them about my seaweed/Nori allergy the chef started sending my way sushi roll plates without nori which I found super impressive and thoughtful as I felt I didn’t miss out on the offer (99 AED all you can eat) and also not any chef can make rolls without the nori. Definitely will come back. I would have given it 5 stars but that’s because they need to pay extra attention to the cleanliness of the place and the utensils

Went for the sushi belt as I had heard a lot about it. To my surprise there was a good variety of sushi to choose between and their sea weed salad was to die for. The sashimi were fresh and melt in mouth. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I'm a regular here and have always loved the place and the staff. The crab salad is a MUST, if it's not on the belt, request for it! It's included in the Eat-all-you-can offer. Ask for the seaweed salad too, and top it on any roll :3

I would say price-worthy but then they increased the price so a bit sad about that :/ Now I started considering other sushi places.

We were the last order of the day, and I got a Yukiss roll. It was served with pickled ginger (surprisingly yum) and sauce. I am so glad we live next door, I want to go back there and try their all you can have Sunday sushi! 🍣

Edit: went again today and had a whole lot of stuff.

Value for money: 8/10 - their all you can eat sushi is worth the price plus you’ll get salmon sashimi and flavorful miso soup

Seaweed salad is very commendable. I love the sweetness and crunchiness of it.

Ambiance is really nice. A place where your hunger can be satisfied while relaxing.

The staff anticipates what we need which is really something that we appreciate and admire.

Went here for a dinner date on a Thursday evening and it was surprisingly not packed at all which is a good thing for me, there were only a handful of regulars here and there. We had unlimited sushi and ended our feast with some jasmine tea, which was very light, fragrant and faint hint of sweetness. For that price and selection, it was really such a good deal especially if you know you’re not one to get satisfied with just four or five pieces of sushi/maki. I loved the salad, salmon sashimi and the ebi tempura maki. There are also a few pieces I couldn’t distinguish but were also good. However I would’ve liked to see more raw fish in the selection than cooked ones, but would still come back here if I get some craving for mouthfuls and mouthfuls of sushi.

Went there with my husband, came around 8.30 and it was empty. We ordered unlimited sushi and were sitting next to sushi train. Offer also included miso soup and sashimi. Sushi were great, and just freshly prepared in front of you. Since the restaurant was empty chef can take special orders from you and it's all just for 99. Great food,friendly staff,great ambience. Definitely will come back there.

I'M GIVING A FIVE!
I came here with my friend. We came by around 08:00 pm and it was pretty empty.

We sat at the counter where the sushi was moving along the conveyor belt.

The unlimited sushi dinner was for 99 dirhams and included unlimited soup as well.

The varieties were vast and all the sushis were really tasty!
The waiters would clear our tables as we ate and the ambience was brilliant.

I really liked the place and to me, 99 for unlimited sushi is reasonable and something that's not offered else where!

5/5!

Tried a couple of times now for the 99AED All you can eat. I have to say comparing to other All you can eat places the quality is really great. You can expect a variety from the menu but nevertheless for us the options are satisfying. You can also re-order personally if it's not on the belt anymore (sashimi,...). The location is not too big and staff was every time very attentive and friendly. A big plus for that!

For us it's now the place to go in case we are really hungry ;)

Total:

Food: 4/5
Staff: 5/5
Location: 4.5/5

This is a hidden gem in Barsha heights...
We have visited this place over 3 times...and we werent disappointed at any visit (though it does take some time for the rolls to come to the table) but is worth the wait....
They offer u complimentary miso soup.
Have tried quite a many variety of their sushi rolls....and each one was unique...
The salmon and tuna are fresh and almost melt in mouth. The sushi rice has the right seasoning and texture...the tempuras have the perfect crunch.
My son in particular is in love with this place...Will be definitely going again...
They do have unlimited sushi off the belt...not tried that so far

Ucci sushi is one of my favorite "all you can eat" sushi restaurants in the UAE. The restaurant ambience is warm and welcoming. The sushi runs on a belt and you get to pick whichever plate you prefer. If what you like is not on the belt.. you can ask the chief to prepare it for you. Service is exceptional and all chefs I've met so far are very friendly and happily prepare what we ask them for. I took my vegetarian sisters to Ucci that day and both the chef and the waiter went above and beyond to please them with specially prepared veggie rolls. The sushi tastes great and fresh. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is because I've had better sushi.

Total bill: AED 99/ person (all you can eat)

Great service and good fresh sushi.
The sushimen at the kitchen deliver a really enjoyable piece of heaven to the customers.
The team at service always make sure the plates are evenly distributed along the belt.
They also pay attention to details and make sure you have a perfect experience.
My 10 year old boy doesn´t appreciate sushi and the maitre order some food from the other restaurant in the hotel.
Really recommend this one!!!!

A hidden gem in the heart of Barsha Heights. You can find the restaurant right when you enter Auris Inn. The interiors are absolutely marvelous. The place is quite compact but the ambience makes up for it all. There is a conveyor belt next to a live sushi counter where you can see the sushi being made. Talking about the food, our order was as follows: Unagi, California Roll, Harra roll, Philly Roll and Salmon Sashimi along with some orange juice. The seafood was very fresh. Orange juice was made fresh as well and had pulp! The food is not only tasty but a treat to the eyes. The portions are very satisfying. The service is excellent. I loved how the staff was immensely courteous and patient with our order. This is one of the restaurants I have seen with electronic tablets as the menu, which gives it a different touch. A special mention to the fantastic cutlery, which I personally believe adds a lot to the feel of the restaurant. They also have an all you can eat sushi for AED 99, for the sushi loving folks.

Ucci Sushi is a nice little place, located in the Auris Inn hotel. The area is quiet, and when we went, there were only a few other people around. They have a conveyor belt just like in Yo! Sushi, but what sets it apart from the colourful and loud interiors of Yo! sushi is the calming, mellow hues of browns and beiges. The servers were really friendly and courteous. The sushi came quite quickly, and along with the California Roll, Rainbow Roll and edamame we ordered, they gave us a (complimentary) miso soup. The sushi rolls were really delicious, and quite filling (especially for two people!). We later ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen, Tarantula Roll and Fried Golden Roll. The Ramen was alright, and we liked the two previous sushi dishes more (most probably because we were full) and although the Fried Golden Roll sounded different, it wasn't as good as we expected!

Overall, I liked the sushi, they were plated very nicely, the prices were reasonable, the place looked lovely and the people were very nice. I would recommend it over other sushi places of the same design theme.

(P.s. We had a voucher, so we probably over-ordered, but this whole thing would probably have been enough for 3-4 people even!)


Summary:
Variety: 4.5/5, very nice selection; love the sushi rolls variety!
Quality: 4/5, really good, tasty!
Quantity: 5/5, good portion sizes.
Price: 4.5/5, worth and slightly cheaper than other places.
Decor: 4/5, sophisticated yet cosy.
Service: 5/5, really nice people and quick service!

It didn't start very well as the belt was empty and in any case we were at the very end, so the few plates that came out never reached. Then after half an hour they started picking up pace and they even apologised delivering plates directly without going through the belt. So I presume on a normal day service is good.
Sushi itself is food and there is a fair variety of rolls and nigiri on the belt, few vegetables dishes and some cooked tuna.

This restaurant was a spontaneous pick for a late evening supper. Not quite the spot you would expect in terms of buzz of people, upon entering found the restaurant to be absolutely quite, when seated thought it's the kind of place you would want to come after a hectic day at work, just to be away from noise and have some good food in peace. And so was it, great food and what was impressive beyond it was their service. Albert was a great server and so was the valet guy Nbenga, thank you guys, will definitely return 😊

Tried this restaurant with my wife. Missed decent sushi since we moved back to Dubai from Singapore. Sashimi was very fresh and delicious. Prawn Tempura also very nice. The Maki rolls on the menu were a bit over complicated. We saw they had more simple rolls on the conveyor when we were leaving. Would be good if these were included in the menu. Overall very good and decent service. Will definitely go back.

Edit: have been back again. Probably our 5th time. Sushi and Sashimi were delicious and fresh as always. Really love the spicy tuna roll. Only slight negative was the tonkotsu ramen soup. We had this the first time and it was really tasty. This time it was under seasoned and they had forgotten to add the beansprouts and mushroom. Only a slight negative and we will be back for sure.
Service as always was excellent. Dilfuza, our waitress, was very helpful and attentive.

Just wish they would add mochi to end the meal.

This tastefully decorated little place is a welcome addition to TECOM. The sushi and sashimi is quite nice although not very varied. They also have a sushi train for those looking to try a little bit of everything. For me, the real star was a starter - the Tonkatsu Ramen soup tastes great, with perfectly cooked pieces of beef, half a soft boiled egg and what seems like fresh ramen, all in a sweet and spicy broth. It'll definitely have me coming back.

They also seem to have given us 30% off the bill! I guess it is a newly open discount.

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) الخدمة جيدة ... "𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫". السعر عادل نوعية السوشي / ماكي التي يقدمونها. مجرد خلفية ، لقد قمنا بزيارة اليابان عدة مرات ولدينا معيار للسوشي الأصيل. لا أرى أي شخص ياباني في الجوار يتحدث عن الجودة. لكن مرة أخرى ، إنه عادل بالنسبة للسعر. ————— هل تحب أن تضع؟ انها على ما يرام هل تنصح؟ حسنًا ، بين نعم ولا لأن السوشي ليس أصليًا ... ولكن نعم بالنسبة للسعر والخدمة (التعليق الأصلي) Service is good… "𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫". Price is fair the quality of sushi/maki they serve. Just a background, we have visited Japan ample of times and we have a benchmark for authentic sushi. I don’t see any Japanese people around, that speaks about the quality. But again, it is fair for the price. ————— Did you like to place? It is fine Will you recommend? Hmm, in between yes and no because the sushi is not that authentic… but Yes for the price & service

The only development they need to do is sometime the order isn’t the food that i order.

Tucked away in Barsha heights, Ucci belongs to Ramada by Wyndham and serves Japanese food. I went to try their “all you can eat sushi deal” the choices were decent and the sushi was really delicious especially the unagi and fruit sushi.❤️❤️ I also loved the miso soup and calamari tempura. It can get quite busy!! So book in advance. :))
