The area surrounding Farm 5 supermarket in Dhahran is teeming with fast-food choices. However, if you’re in the mood for a healthier meal that doesn’t involve a burger or a shawarma, look no further than the Sushi Bar.
Located on Abdullah Ibn Al-Abbas Street, this gem offers a refreshing alternative. As you step inside, the crisp minimalistic design immediately surrounds you, along with the enticing aroma of fresh ginger and soy sauce.
The space is cozy, resembling a salad bar with an array of fresh vegetables to choose from. You have the option to have the staff build your dish or simply select from the menu and find a seat on their long sofa.
The sushi at the restaurant is made to order on the premises, allowing you to customize your dining experience.
Their menu boasts a selection of appetizers, including shrimp balls, spring rolls, salmon teriyaki, Japanese rice, raw rolls, poke bowls, salads and noodles. For those looking to enhance their meal, there is a wide range of add-ons available, such as edamame, avocado and soy wrappers.
One of the main dishes offered is the salmon poke bowl. It is a symphony of flavors, combining crunchy slices of cucumber, bursts of corn, shredded carrots, tangy mango cubes and, of course, succulent salmon, all atop a bed of fluffy rice. While the ingredients may vary slightly depending on the season, you can always ask for an extra drizzle of spicy mayo sauce for an added kick.
The Sushi Bar also understands that not everyone is a fan of raw fish and they offer beef, chicken and vegetarian options to cater to a wider range of palates.
For special occasions, the restaurant offers a distinctive catering package — the “sushi cake.” This tiered foam structure, shaped like a wedding cake, can be adorned with your choice of sushi, creating a visually stunning centerpiece.
While most people opt for takeout, the place does provide a few seating options. They also offer delivery services through popular applications such as Jahez, Hunger Station, The Chefz, and To_You.
Recently, they have expanded their reach by introducing a delivery-only option in Riyadh.
