There's no better way to end my weekend than enjoying a good meal at Sushi Express Cafe with someone you can talk with about anything under the moon plus the cozy ambiance and very accommodating staff. You should try their tasty Salmon Teriyaki, Avocado and Tuna Maki. It was definitely worth the travel! Happy tummy indeed!!

Have ordered delivery only, haven’t been to the restaurant. Fresh and big portion sushi, with good taste. Spicy tuna maki is quite spicy, so be careful if you can’t handle lots of spice. Will order again, fast delivery.

Shrimp tempura was excellent and I dont even like that kind of coating I prefer a honey flake and this is really good, crispy, and even though the coating looks like a lot it's not and it's tasty. The miso was hot but size was underwhelming especially for the price. But did include lots of seaweed and the cubes. I prefer less of those and more liquid. Salmon nigiri this time- salmon was fine, rice was hit and miss. Wasabi was ok, but only one small soy sauce for lot of nigiri. All in al was good. And will order again.

I purchased a coupon in Groupon for 2 bento sets. But in the cafe they told me that not all bentos are available on the coupon - although the coupon says 42% discount on bento. In the end, we ordered Salmon Teriyaki bento and Ebi Fry bento - saving 27 dirhams (56 + 50 = 106-79 = 27drh - 25%). It was really tasty but we wanted others - those that are not available. Disappointed.

We tried a delivery order from Sushi Express Cafe , it came in very good time. The food was really tasty and fresh. We tried the Yakitori Don, Gyo Don and Yasai Bento Box. 

The Yasai Bento Box was very interesting, it was purely vegetarian with Veg Tempura, Seaweed Salad, Veg Fried Rice, a block of Tofu and Avocado+Lettuce+Cucumber Sushi. The sushi was done pretty well with the crunch and creamy textures of veges balanced with the rice. The tempura was crispy and pretty awesome, the appearance of avocado in the tempura scared us a bit but it was good :) The salad and the veg fried rice were pretty awesome compliments to the rest of the dish. Even though the tofu didn't have any seasoning etc of it's own, it was pretty plain but the rice and salad worked well. This was a very delicious bento box, one of the best we have seen here. 

Both with YakiTori Don and Gyo Don the proteins were done awesomely, drowned in sauce covering the sticky rice. The portions i think were good reasonable portions. We won't call it generous but neither was it miserly. The best thing for us was that you weren't having white rice by the end of the dish. Till the very end the sauce and meat was enough to compliment the dish. 

All in all we had a great experience and will definitely be trying them again.

We tried the voucher we purchased on groupon here and I must say that it's worth it. 
The place is small but that doesn't change the fact that the sushi here is nice. We ordered the Express Addict, I'm not a fan of raw salmon but when I tried it, I actually liked it. The creamy taste is what makes it good. The other sushi that we ordered is the Express Shrimp. I love it since I'm a fan of something barbecue taste and cheese. 

The only thing I notice is that the AC is not cooling but they have outdoor seating that will be best when it's winter season.

I'll be back for sure.

Eaten here about 5 times, best salmon sushi that I’ve had in dubai so far! Fairly small menu, but still the best. As with many restaurants on the lake level in JLT, they do not have AC, they only have those water air cooling machines that plug in. If you are wanting to have lots of sushi, order smaller quantities multiple times. And get the Groupon deals!

Sushi:
1) Eel dragon - eel has a nice, non chewy, texture.
2) Seared salmon - good flavor, though I prefer fresh salmon over seared salmon.
3) Volcano - I enjoy this one, the hot sauce on top mixed with salmon and tempura - great mix.
4) Express smoked - good flavor, but I’d recommend not having the teriyaki sauce on top.
5) Express addict - favorite one of them all - large piece of fresh salmon on top, nice buttery salmon flavor!
6) Crazy California - good classic California with lots of crab meat on top.
7) Fujiyama - the tempura salmon and tempura avocado are delicious!

Will keep going back, as I live right above it :)

It's our first time to try Sushi Express in JLT. Very quiet place with a view of the lake. Our food server, Jessa greeted us with a smile and was helpful.

We ordered chicken karaage, Tokyo maki rolls (salmon, eel with mango and avocado) and Express shrimp maki rolls. The karaage was surprisingly very tender and one of the best karaage I ever had here in Dubai. I like the rolls too! They offer unique variety and combination of rolls. We will come back again for sure to try their rock and roll shrimp that Jessa had suggested and their donburi.

My review of Sushi Express Cafe – this little restaurant reminds me of the small and easy places to eat at in Tokyo where there were limited seats but the food was delicious. I found that the food was fresh and the presentation was stunning for each. Even though it’s an express cafe, the chefs took great care in making sure the dishes were up to a foodie’s standards.

The tuna ceviche was very appealing where the presentation of it was very precise and neat. The tuna were fresh and tasted just how it was supposed to. The lime on the tuna just made it more zesty and delicious.

The tuna tataki was amazing. The tuna was seared slightly so that only the outer part of the meat was cooked while the middle was rare.

The hamachi carpaccio was basically hamachi sashimi with a light sauce drizzled on top. The hamachi was sliced thinly so that was what made it different from the hamachi sashimi that is usually thicker.

The cheeky scallop roll was absolutely delicious. The roll was wrapped with rice and rice paper instead of being covered with sesame seeds so it actually made it more smooth to eat. The scallop was fresh and the avocado filling was a great touch.

I am so glad that I saved enough room for dessert as I wanted to try the different mochi flavours offered here. I tried all of the four flavours and my favourites were the green tea and strawberry. The mochi was cold, which is how they are supposed to be, and the filling was sweet and perfect.

This restaurant deserves a rating of 5/5.

I ordered the hamachi carpaccio for 39DHS, tuna ceviche for 31DHS, tuna tataki for 33DHS, cheeky scallop roll for 38DHS, and the mango, strawberry, matcha, and chocolate mochi for 10DHS each piece.

The pricing of the dishes served here was very well priced for a Japanese place and I found it cheap for the excellent quality of the dishes.

The service was wonderful with two staff members always around making sure that our dinner was doing perfectly. The beverages came out quickly and the same goes for the food.

The ambience of this restaurant was cozy and there was a mixture of both tables and booths. There were quite a few tables outside of the restaurant as well with a nice view of the Jumeirah Lakes Towers and the lake itself.

So we rediscovered our addiction to sushi tonight @sushicafedubai. It’s been so long since we both had sushi, so we were really excited to come and try the food here! They have a daily fresh juice to choose from, today it was pineapple. We shared Tako Tako Salad (Fresh Octopus), Rock ‘N’ Roll Shrimp and Black Cod to start...... it was the first time I’ve tried Black Cod and it was delicious, cooked perfectly! The shrimps were the biggest I think I’ve ever seen. We then went for the Crunchy Chicken and Express Shrimp rolls! As you can see, each serving came with 8 big pieces! The sushi was fresh and tasty and we like that they feature a Month Special! March is the Cheeky Yellowtail Roll. They have an extensive selection of Noodles and Bento boxes to choose from too, lovely waitress Bobbie suggested we try their famous Chicken Paitan Ramen 👌🏼 We highly recommend this hearty noodle broth! For Dessert we chose the Macha Tiramisu as we could not leave without something sweet! We highly recommend this place Lovelies! Super-friendly staff, nice atmosphere, great food, good portions, fantastic selection and mainly, excellent Sushi! Thank you for having us @sushicafedubai and we can’t wait to come back to try your Katsu Bento box and Green Tea cheesecake 😍😋 #Dubai #dubaifood #dxb #foodreview #ladiesnightdubai #sushi #dubairestaurant #jlt #fish #blackcod #sushirolls #japenese #eat #foodie #dubaiblogger #ukblogger #dessert #ramen #dubaimarina #uae #yum #dubailife #mydubai #jumeirah #zomato #hungry #fish #dinner #evening #friends #blog #dubaitag #dubailadiesclub #expat #delivery

The ambience of this place is really nice, and the first thing I noticed is that this restaurant also has a washroom (as opposed to most restaurants in JLT that don't).

They've got a great selection of sushis. I especially liked their volcano roll. We also had a mix platter of sushis which had sushis made form tuna, salmon, and more. They tasted really fresh.

Their Hakone Bento box was pretty good too, and especially the seaweed salad.

Ordered a chicken paitan ramen and loved the way the broth tasted.

They accept payments by Nol card too!
