If you’re on the hunt for an unforgettable Japanese food experience in Dubai, Goldfish Sushi & Yakitori is the place to be! Tucked inside Galleria Mall on Al Wasl Road, this lively spot is run by Michelin-starred Chef Akmal, who adds his own fun and creative spin to traditional Japanese dishes. Since opening in 2021, Goldfish has become a go-to for food lovers – and trust me when I say, they have no plans of slowing down anytime soon. With praise from Gault&Millau UAE (2023–2025) and a Bib Gourmand spot in the Michelin Guide for 4 years straight, this spot is seriously worth a visit. Come with me, and I’ll share with the top 5 dishes you must try when you visit Goldfish Sushi & Yakitori Dubai!
Goldfish is all about bold flavours, fresh ingredients, and dishes that surprise you in the best way. Here are five must-try picks on the menu right now:
1. Yellowtail Carpaccio:
This beauty is flown in fresh from Japan and dressed up with a light, citrusy yuzu sauce and just the right touch of jalapeño for a pop of flavour. It’s delicate, refreshing, and the perfect way to start your meal.
2. Spicy Tuna Roll:
Sushi fans, this one’s for you. Chopped tuna mixed with chili furikake and Samjang sauce brings the heat – and the flavour. It’s bold, zesty, and totally addictive.
3. Wagyu Sliders:
Ready for something rich and indulgent? These sliders combine melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu beef with foie gras, tucked into a soft bun. It’s a small bite with big flavor and a serious wow factor.
4. Chilean Seabass Claypot:
This dish is all about comfort and depth. Slow-cooked Chilean seabass comes out tender and full of flavour, thanks to a blend of aromatic spices. It’s cozy, elegant, and totally satisfying.
5. Matcha Cheesecake:
Time to end on a high note. This dessert is a playful twist on tradition, pairing creamy matcha cheesecake with parmesan mousse and crunchy almond topping. Sweet, salty, and a little bit unexpected – in the best way.
Goldfish is growing! A new branch is opening soon at Marina Mall in Abu Dhabi, so even more people can enjoy Chef Akmal’s signature dishes. Whether you’re dining in or ordering at home, you’re in for a treat. Not only that but you can also order your favourite dishes home through Deliveroo from 12pm to 11pm.
