We're here for the sushi and the starters rather than the mains, with lots of little flavoursome morsels to graze on. Order up a tuna tatare on wontons and a seaweed salad, scallops on a California roll and a couple of rainbow and eel and avocado sushi and you've got some seriously good eating to get on with.

Come for Friday brunch (12.30pm to 4pm) for a complete Japanese food blow-out; with/without alcohol Dhs445/340. If you're looking for a cheap drink on Saadiyat Island, Koi also delivers with a happy-hour deal from Sunday to Wednesday (6pm to 8.30pm), which sees a swag of drinks reduced to Dhs25.
