Middle East's Best Japanese Cuisine Restaurant 2026

The recognition applies specifically to Middle East's Best Japanese Cuisine Restaurant. Keep the year and category attached when comparing it with other awards: a local, regional or cuisine-specific title is not an unrestricted global ranking. World Culinary Awards uses vetted nominations and registered online voting. Verified industry votes carry twice the weight of public votes. The winner is determined by valid votes under the published rules. This is not an anonymous restaurant-inspection system. No category tasting rubric, judge-by-judge marks or numerical quality score is provided on the reviewed result page. The result should not be described as a Michelin distinction or a World's 50 Best ranking.

Sushiyaki serves Japanese sushi and charcoal-grilled skewers on the waterfront at Souk Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai. Its indoor restaurant and bar are complemented by an outdoor canal-side deck, while the menu extends to seafood, salads and wagyu.

The official 2026 category page names Sushiyaki (UAE) as its winner. Pearl currently links 1 venue record for this category. Nominees elsewhere on the organizer's page are not additional winners. Recognition belongs to the named establishment or experience, not automatically to every restaurant in the same hotel or every branch of a brand. The linked profile is a discovery aid; the organizer's category result remains the authority for the title.
