99 Sushi Bar Abu Dhabi

99 Sushi Bar sits on the first level of the Four Seasons Hotel, tucked within the dense retail footprint of The Galleria on Al Maryah Island. It holds a Michelin star, a distinction that marks it apart from the heavy churn of fast-casual chains surrounding it.

The room runs smart and elegant, but the real utility here is the precision of the kitchen. While Al Maryah Island is thick with hotel dining, most kitchens in the vicinity sacrifice focus for international breadth. This venue commits entirely to Japanese sushi, a gamble that pays off in a singular clarity of flavor. The menu is sharper and more disciplined than the sprawling, pan-Asian portfolios favored by its neighbours. It is the better choice for those who want a focused meal rather than the endless, undistinguished variety that dominates the island’s dining scene.
