An exciting new Japanese hotspot has opened in Dubai Marina 

  • 15 August 2021
  • Senior Editor

KOYO is a sleek and sophisticated restaurant at the Intercontinental Hotel Dubai Marina.

Bringing vibrant Japanese highlife to the heart of Dubai Marina, Solutions Leisure Group, the team behind Asia Asia, STK and LSB, launched KOYO on Thursday 12 August 2021 at the InterContinental Dubai Marina Hotel.

Sleek and upbeat Dubai Marina’s new dining hotspot presents traditional Japanese cuisine and entertainment in a whole new way. Spread over two levels, the restaurant and bar is inspired by the beauty and intrigue of Japanese geisha, blending the unique energy of the Tokyo nightlife experience with ‘kabuki’ style entertainment.

Featuring two dedicated bar areas, a raw bar, a traditional Japanese dining area, dining room, interactive stage and a terrace overlooking the waters of Dubai Marina, KOYO evokes the sights and sounds of the Japanese highlife to offer an immersive sensory-driven dining experience.

The KOYO menu has been curated to transport guests to the streets of Japan, segmented into traditional culinary sections, including Maki Rolls, Sashimi, Katsu Sando and Yakitori. Chef’s signature dishes include Bluefin Tuna Nikkei, Monkfish Tail Robata and Japanese Wagyu Tataki, followed by sweet favourites like the Tayaki Sundae and Masu Matcha for dessert.

Guests are currently invited to explore the menu through an exclusive four-course Taste of KOYO tasting menu, priced at AED 500 per couple, including three beverages per person. There are also hints at a brunch concept, set to launch soon, amongst other weekly events.
