Nestled in the Über-luxe, 5-Star, Monarch Dubai Hotel at the iconic address of One Sheikh Zayed Road, Okku is guaranteed to attract the world's jet set.

This will also be the first unveiling of a new ultra chic brand with global aspirations, with further openings in London, Las Vegas, and Hong Kong from 2009.

The kitchen team reads like a who's who of the Japanese culinary A-list. Dine on delicacies dreamt up and dished up by distinguished chefs from the foodie capital cities of Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

Okku will be serving up unique Japanese delicacies yet to be discovered in the GCC. With a team of celebrity chefs (who have cooked for the likes of Madonna, George Clooney, Bill Clinton, Vogue's Anna Wintour, Hillary Swank and Denzel Washington to name a few) bring over 119 years of experience to the Sushi Bar and kitchen.
