Shi Restaurant

SHI Restaurant occupies a ground-floor address on Bluewaters Island in Dubai, presenting Chinese and Japanese cuisine in an upscale setting. The venue combines a restaurant experience with a social atmosphere, making the setting suited to evening dining, shared meals and occasions that call for a more considered backdrop. The Bluewaters Island location also makes SHI an option for diners travelling from Abu Dhabi.

The menu centres on traditional Chinese and Japanese cooking, with a particular focus on Chinese dishes presented in a refined style. SHI’s approach draws on Eastern classics and aims to preserve their familiar character while giving the overall experience a contemporary, polished feel. The restaurant places emphasis on carefully selected, organically sourced ingredients, reflecting its focus on quality across the menu.

Luxury is part of the venue’s design and dining identity, with an atmosphere influenced by the cosmopolitan restaurant culture associated with Hong Kong and Shanghai. The result is a setting that works for relaxed social dining as well as more occasion-led meals. SHI also serves cocktails, adding a drinks-led element to the food experience and giving the venue a natural place in an evening itinerary on Bluewaters Island.

SHI caters to private events, with dedicated bookings available for celebrations, gatherings and other hosted occasions. The venue’s combination of Chinese and Japanese cuisine, cocktails and an upscale ambience gives it flexibility across different types of dining plans, while the menu’s emphasis on traditional flavours keeps the food at the centre of the experience.

Located at 15a Blue Waters Island Street, Ground Floor, SHI is part of the island’s dining landscape and offers a distinctly East Asian culinary direction within Dubai. Reservations are available through the restaurant, and the venue can be contacted directly for table enquiries, private-event arrangements and practical questions before arrival.
