Sushi with a twist at Sushi Burrito
How do you like your sushi? In a roll, as a poke salad, or how about a burrito? Very aptly titled Sushi Burrito, the signature dish at this restaurant is sushi that’s served as a burrito.
Located in the stylish Emirates Financial Towers DIFC, this cosy restaurant imitates a simple Japanese interior, complete with a faux cherry blossom and wooden bench style seating. This fusion sushi bar is just right for a quick lunch or after work dinner. Read on to find out what we tried at Sushi Burrito
Prawn Tempura and Crabstick Sushi Burrito
Wrapped up in seaweed with a layer of rice and all the sushi goodness within, this large burrito, almost equivalent to 8 pieces, is a must have for sushi lovers. I was impressed with the sheer quantity of veggies stuffed inside the roll. The prawns were without a doubt, perfect.
Dynamite Shrimps
Highly recommended (do I even need a push for these?), these taste as good as the best dynamite shrimps in town and cost as little as AED 35. Isn’t that a steal? The dynamite sauce, the crunch of the shrimps, the size of each piece, and even the quantity, everything was perfect.
You definitely need to try these.
Tempura Chicken Poke
Since I don’t find many chicken options at a sushi restaurant, I decided to try the tempura chicken in a poke bowl. The sauce in this one was just brilliant. In fact, just like the burrito, this one too had tons of veggies which went really well with the sauce. The chicken pieces though, were the bomb. And I loved how they had included so much in this mix, right from jalapenos for a spicy flavor to cashew pieces for that crunch. All in all a 10/10 dish. I could have it any time of the day.
Drinks
For drinks I tried Pina Colada & Raspberry Mint Iced Tea. The former was as creamy as I could have asked for. The coconut was just wow. The iced tea was incredibly refreshing. It had a little zing in every sip, which would be perfect on a hot summer afternoon.

#RashidaReviews
To be very honest, I am glad I visited this place. Although I am not a big fan of sushi, over the last couple of years, I have started including it in my diet and this place was welcoming. What I really liked at Sushi Burrito however, was not the actual sushi burrito, but the poke bowl. The Tempura Chicken Poke is a must have. It is definitely something that will take me back to this place.
And if you are a sushi lover, then well, go crazy with their sushi offerings!
