The beloved Japanese restaurant is back, and Okku 2.0 is a sophisticated, grown-up sister to the original… When I arrived in Dubai just over eight years ago, there were only a fraction of dining options that the city boasts today. Which meant that there was a much more limited circuit of hotspots to hit up when you were looking for somewhere with good food, and an even better vibe. Okku was one of those spots. Located in the H Hotel, its weekend brunches and Sunday night parties were among the best in the city, and for a long time ....

But five years ago it closed. Now open once more, at Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah, the competition is fierce, both on the Palm and for Japanese food acr....

In a city where gastronomy changes at the drop of a chopstick, Okku has re-emerged from Dubai’s gourmet history books to ignite the age-old debate: what’s the best Japanese restaurant in Dubai (a question that is oft discussed between divided foodies, knives in hand). Okku said goodbye to diners in 2018, leaving a sushi-shaped hole in the city’s heart. Fast forward to now, and Okku has returned with the promise of the past and an eye on the future. But, does this phoenix rise to the occasion? Or is it merely a nostalgic shadow ....
