It is not Japanese restaurant, it is more about homemade meal in Japanese style.
However, service was enough good.

Cute lil place. Good that they have outdoor seating, perfect during winter.

Their cheesecake is okay, just right. Their hot chocolate? Nah. Not a fan. I’ve had better. The staff is friendly though.

We live on Al Barsha. We spent a week looking for a place to eat delicious sushi. And we found this cozy place. How warmly, beautifully, the sweetest girl greets you. The sushi is simply very tasty! We ordered a supplement. Don't look away. Thank you!
24 October 2023 5:56
Very tasty Rolls! Large portions, the rolls themselves are large, nothing is spared! The girl who serves is very sweet and good-natured! This place has a very pleasant and comfortable atmosphere, very beautiful and cute!
23 September 2023 13:09
We order salad, different sushis and beef ramen. All was so good, except the beef in the ramen a bit hard/chewy, but the broth and veggie s and noddles very tasty. In everything big portions and price very good

Simply OISHII, Simply delicious
A very cute Japanese restaurant.
Must try their sushi and cake. It's sooo yummy!
The Ramen is coming in very big portion:)
Cjay and James were amazing
13 July 2023 5:26
Visited Simply Oishii and was amazed by the ambience of the place, it had an aesthetic Japanese restaurant that serves the best fluffy cheesecake there is. Would recommend.
23 June 2023 18:14
A small restaurant with sad and boring vibes.
The guy who is serving the food is not welcoming and always busy on his mobile.
Food was ok.
15 March 2023 22:21
My friend asked me to eat here with her and I'm just so amazed with the ambiance of this restaurant and how so authentic the food taste here. I love their cake it's not too sweet but still gives you that yummy vibes. One of the crew James did an excellent job assisting us from the time we arrived and helped us with the menu of the restaurant. It's customer service at it's best. The location is I believe 2 to 3 blocks behind Novotel Al Barsha 1. The area is good location and not that crowded. They also have seats outside which is amazing.
07 February 2023 23:06
I have no issue with Japanese restaurants held by non Japanese but there are so many things that have changed from the original Japan Concept Café with a Japanese pâtissier.if you are expecting that then it’s a total disappointment.
05 January 2023 20:19
Sehr leckeres und authentisches japanisches Essen. Sehr große Auswahl. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt (okay, vielleicht ein kleines Asahi).
12 December 2022 1:53
Food is superb and serving is big. Shout out to James for being so kind and accommodating. Simply Oishi must be very proud and lucky having you in their restaurant. Ten stars for you! We will surely come back! See you!

Good place and good service 4.8/5
05 October 2022 23:40

20 March 2022 14:50
This restaurant is such an amazing place. The food is really worth it for the price. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. I highly recommend to try the sushi's, if you want to try spicy food they have Bibimbap which is really I love it. The beef ramen is superb very authentic. Come and try this cozy restaurant located at Larimar Building Al Barsha 1
26 February 2022 17:44

10 February 2022 23:38

06 January 2022 8:46
The bimpap spicy chicken and the sushis were amazing!
Fresh, tasty and really worth your money.
Keep up the amazing work

Still confused where to eat this weekend? Check out @simplyoishii with magical atmosphere and kawaii design, you’ll get to try loads of tasty & authentic Japanese dishes. This cafe restaurant will have you feeling like you’ve stepped straight to Japan.

I personally tried:

Wagyu Sliders
These sliders were perfect with juicy, cooked perfectly, flavorsome wagyu beef and soft kawaii buns.

Ebi Tempura
Prawns fried in tempura batter. Tempura coating was light & crispy and shrimp was fresh plus dip was so perfect combo for this.

Mixed Tempura Ramen
Ofcourse RAMEN wont be missed when eating in Japanese Restaurant ️ Prawn and vegetable tempura with ramen in soup. Authentic Japanese Ramen it was! Freshly made, hearty food, the soup was so flavorful that left me crave for more!

Beef Bibimbap
Classic dish with wagyu beef, kimchi, veggies, fried egg and rice with gochujang sauce. Fantastic flavor loaded with crunchy & luscious vegetables and beef - artfully arranged with egg topping! The stone pot was super hot & lasted the whole meal.

Shrimp, avocado, asparagus, spring onion. Perfect combination of quality ingredients! Sushi taste was really amazing & extremely tasty. Platter presentation was superb! ️

Desserts

Cafe Latte
Milk based drink with just a little coffee. Comes included with our hanging biscuit.

All dishes were so heartwarmingly delicious - made by authentic Japanese ingredients. Portion sizes were genereous, prices are affordable given the magican ambiance - very instagrammable.

Staffs are so accomodating.
Very refreshing set up.
Yummy food.
Shushi are very recommendable:)
04 December 2021 18:30
We were dining in here today this afternoon. Its a little place situated very close to the Mashreq metro station and about 10 mins from mall of emirates. The café has about 6 to 8 cute little tables that look very adorable. The food that they serve is also all very cute looking. We tried a tonne of their Japanese food as below:
1. Wagyu beef sliders: the bun was toasty, buttery and glistening. There were little buns of wagyu Joy hidden within these little babies that we really liked.

2. Strawberry mojito: the drink was super refreshing and light, it had a tonne of crushed strawberry which was great.

3. Spicy beef BENTO box: BENTO as the name suggests was a compelte meal. The two salades were refreshing as was the very light and fluffy tamago served with the BENTO. The beef was fair and the sauce was to die for. Really enjoyed it. It also had a miso soup which was great.

4. Mixed ramen: Ramen has always been à personal favourite and this version had the most humongous quantities. They also had the best noodles I have ever tried, very taut and bouncy. Definitely recommended.

5. Japanese cotton cheesecake: fitting end to à lovely meal.

We really enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to make it back.
25 November 2021 14:19
Super friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast is amazing, I recommend to try pancakes and French toasts.
23 November 2021 19:24

You guys need to go to this amazing Japanese restaurant i recently found out about. ️️️
The interiors of this restaurant will blow your mind it is so aesthetic and so cute.
I was so skeptical but they had very good vegetarian options and I had an amazing brunch with my best friends.

What I ordered
Veg tempura
Veg ramen (gigantic bowl)
Matcha latte

What my friends ordered
Chicken Gyoza
Chicken katsu curry bento box
Chicken bibimbap
Oishii rolls
Strawberry mojito

For dessert we had ️
The cutest strawberry short cake
Strawberry cream puff

Suchhh a lovely place to brunch guys! The service was so good, and they were super sweet!
Loved everything & it was quiet affordable too!
17 November 2021 15:43
The staffs are nice, they always do their best. Food is so so/good. But if you’re in this neighborhood, this restaurant is a good option for Asian/Japanese food. And it’s good value. Always clean. Happy hours from 9pm-11pm. Get 25% off on selected items. For chicken katsu curry, katsu was deep fried as per the Asian standard. (Not many places in Dubai know how to deep fry food in the proper way.)
16 November 2021 3:23
Nice atmosphere with a friendly staff. Muneer took really good care and he made me feel very welcome in this place. The japanese cheesecake there is awesome! Definitely will come back soon!
15 November 2021 23:07
First time trying Japanese food in Dubai and this quaint little cafe with hospitable staff and good food didn’t disappoint.

Our lunch consisted of the bento box with chicken katsu curry, oishii rolls and pan fried gyoza which was definitely my favorite thing on the menu.

The iced cherry blossom drink had a distinctive taste but was refreshing nevertheless. For desserts, the strawberry cream puff didn’t quite meet expectations as it tasted a little dry. However, the cheesecake was a must try-moist, soft and creamy.

Also tried a hand at origami which was a bit of struggle but definitely fun. Overall, a great experience!
03 November 2021 6:03
Very delicious food, accommodating staff, very clean and cozy location. Love this place so much! Perfect also for anime or japan lovers!
31 October 2021 11:14
Delicious food and great service. The staff were nice and friendly. I recommend everyone should visit at least once.
20 October 2021 11:19
A very cozy and simple restaurant. Located in al barsha near mall of the emirates. After hearing a lot of positive reviews about this place wanted to try to it out.

They serve amazing Japanese food.
So I tried their
Chicken bibimbap
Chicken yokisoba
Japanese chicken wings
Cream puff custard- the best

Everything priced well and affordable!

The ambience is beautiful it’s surprising how much they have done for with small space!
However the customer service was okay! Can do so much better there.

Anyhow would definitely recommend trying out this place. It’s totally worth to try their amazing variety of dishes.

One of the best Japanese restaurant with tasty & delicious food, friendly staff, must visit

I’m a huge fan of Japanese food. This hidden gem is located at the heart of Al Barsha 1 offers authentic Japanese cuisine in a very affordable price. Yes you heard that right! This Japanese restaurant is no doubt a great experience, place with an awesome service and value of money.

I’d like to congrats the management for having such a hard working, accommodating and kind staff. Shout out to James, Mark, Brent and Chef Rashid for taking care of us and smiling throughout our experience

Each dish is perfectly exquisite and the quality is beyond my expectations. Below are the food I tried:

? ? -
Beef was well marinated and grilled into perfection that brings out its great taste.

? ? ? -
Very generous in serving. It’s mixed vegetables and mixed seafood top with sunny sideup egg is a great deal. You need an empty stomach for this

? ? ? - Everything in this plate was mouth watering. Chicken is tender and sweet. Worth every money!

? ? ? -
(California maki, spicy salmon roll, tempura roll, sashimi)
The best sushi platter I’ve ever had so far. The presentation was excellent, texture and the taste was close to perfection. This is to die for

? ? ? -
Sweet and crunchy. Love the brownies on top.

? ? ? -
Fluffy and moist. My favorite

? ? -
Aromatic, moist, soft and lovely?

? ? ? -
Very refreshing! Not sweet which I liked.

If you’re looking for a restaurant that will be worth it, this is the best recommendation I will give to you. Fantastic place to chill with a very reasonable price. I will surely be back and bring my friends with me!

This place will take you to a whole new level of Japanese experience. The food, the staff and the ambiance are excellently compliment one another.
Food: If you are looking for an authentic Japanese cuisine and on a budget this place is a must be definitely on your list. Your taste buds will definitely burst in happiness with the umami taste of each food freshly prepared. A gastrocnemius experience I will guarantee everyone who is looking for an honest review.

Staffs: 3 simple words to describe, Friendly, Hospitable and Professional. They will guide you with there entire menu to choose what suits your taste. They will prepare each menu that are instagram worthy but taste really good.

Ambiance: it might be small for others but for me it is enough to enjoy your food and time to spend with your friends and loved ones. As Japanese also are minimalist people so they simply just followed the culture of Japan with the concept in there restaurant.

So what are you waiting for? Visit Simply Oishii and you’ll definitely say OISHII after.
08 September 2021 12:37
THE BEST SUSHI AND MISO SOUP EVER! I had the Oishi roll which was the first time I had ever tried warm sushi and it was truly a feast for the senses. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere charming, and the entire experience positively enchanting. Loved the little origami cranes which were everywhere and the free cloth masks! Thank you very much - I can't wait to return:)
23 August 2021 5:11

First time in Simply Oishii and YOU have to go! Its the cutiest little spot with amazing food. The ambience is very welcoming and charming. The service we recieved was so amazing and we will definitely be back again.

Would surely love to visit the place again
06 August 2021 16:08
Simply Oishii Dubai serves up authentic Japanese cuisine and sushi in Al Barsha. The decor is also very Japanese.
What sets Simply Oishii apart is the theatrical manner in which the super tasty BENTOS are prepared. We also tried tempura served with a delicious dice and the classic Ramen dish.

To end a delightful meal we ordered the iconic Japanese cheese cake, which was perfectly fluffy and really a must-try. Simply Oishii is proper Japanese with dishes that are prepared simply, but are rich in flavour.
We love this restaurant.
02 May 2021 23:52
Food is great, service is impecable (J and J). This is a small hole in a wall -ish restau in barsha. Their prices are very affordable compared to others.
20 April 2021 15:12
A cute Japanese café located in Al Barsha. It has all the activites like origami, reading Japanese manga books over a cup of coffee and also some amazing Japanese action figures on the wall. The place is perfectly decorated with a feeling of cheery blossom on the ceiling. Loved it Loved it! We tried a lot of stuff in vegetarian and loved everything we had:

Avocado & cucumber Sushi – OMG! Amazing with wasabi & sliced ginger.

Kimchi Ramen – chef specially made a veg variety of ramen for us which was commendable. Spicy kimchi, soft noodles & the broth was totally amazing.

Bento Box – My friend had the bento box here since it was from sea food. But it tasted really well.

Yasai Tempura – Not bad. Decent taste but can be avoided since there are better options here.

Yasai Yakisoba – the star of the day! What an amazing mix of spices and vegies. Loved it!

Matcha Tea & Purple Potato Tea – both yum and totally amazing in flavours. Loved having it with the food.

The best part about this place is that the owners have taken care of every intricate detail while designing the café and you would love to spend time or a lovely afternoon with your friends & family here.
06 April 2021 19:53
I am downgrading this restaurant to ZERO points! My last visit was testimony why people should AVOID this restaurant at all costs! Walked into the restaurant, nobody greeted or come over to show me to the table and give me the menu. Instead, they gave you blank looks, with the waitress busy chit-chating with someone who was probably her boyfriend and the guy at the counter busy just being busy. Good riddance!
28 March 2021 18:06
This Japanese restaurant has been my go-to since their first opened up!

As I used to work in Barsha 1, Thursday's were my favorite day and not just because it was the weekend, but I got to walk and get my Japanese cheesecake along with a coffee here.

Simply Oishii has come a long way, and I couldn't be happier about it - from just drinks and desserts, to now serving meals, it is a great upgrade.

Potato Meat Croquettes

My first time having this dish, these have a cutlet like shape filled with a mix of potato and meat within, and topped with sauce.
The serving is for 2 people as a starter.
Super crispy on the outside, and soft, flavorsome, and delicious on the inside, it is a great choice for a starter.

Chicken Yakisoba

This dish is a noodle dish topped with chicken bites and vegetables. Not something I would have usually ordered as I am sometimes skeptical, but with the suggestion from the staff, I let them help and was a good choice.
Won't deny, I mistakenly filled myself with this, that it was a struggle to have the rest!

Oishii Fried Roll

A sushi dish topped with fish eggs, and fried to perfection! For those who aren't a big fan of sushi, this crispy sushi will surely win your heart.

Ebi Temaki

Served in a small shot glass, it is a rice sushi wrapped with seaweed and filled with avocado. This was my first time trying it.

Iced Cherry Sakura

What a beautiful drink this was! Made with strawberries and milk, this delicious cold drink is freshly made, and quite a refresher.

They also had the Matcha Sakura, but as I was not a fan of matcha drinks, I let that pass and chose this.

Wonderful service and lovely staff, I totally suggest all to give this place a try!
20 February 2021 5:03
Love this Japanese cafe / restaurant located in Barsha 1.
Had a capuccino served in a lovely mug with a fluffy Japanese cheesecake.
It was cheap 24 aed only for a good quality.
I also took a fruits creamy cake for 10 aed only as it was 9PM (happy hour for take away to avoid the waste!).

The decoration is beautiful and I love the Japanese style.
Staff was also very great.
You have around 12 seats inside and a few outside.
You can easily park in front of the restaurant.

Will come back for the hot meals!
10 January 2021 11:00
As this cafe is said to have very delicious sweet which is to the tongue of Japanese, so we tried some sweets here. And it was awesomely good. Next time definitely would like to try some hot meals and also sushi too which we never knew that they had had before we visited them!
