DIFC · Level 9 - Gate Village, Building 3 - شارع ١١ - زعبيل الثانية - DIFC - دبي - United Arab Emirates
Dramatic Japanese restaurant and bar in DIFC - premium sushi, robata grill and late-night energy.
Okku is Dubai's most dramatically designed Japanese restaurant, a black-on-black space in DIFC that manages to feel both sleek and warm. The menu is built around premium sushi, sashimi and robata grill - wagyu, black cod and whole lobster among the signatures. The bar is one of the best in DIFC, and the late-night energy matches any club. A favourite of Dubai's financial district crowd for a decade.
