KOYO: A Unique, Underground Japenese Restaurant in Dubai
Spread over two areas – a bar area on the top and a fine-dining restaurant at the lower level, which surprisingly comes with its own bar area too. The interesting part is that the lower-level bar converts into a raised stage area where you can watch amazing performances by acrobats, singers, dancers, and several other kabuki-style arts and entertainment. The interiors are decked with red cherry blossoms hanging from the ceiling, and colorful Japanese murals. It is hands down one of the best Instagrammable interiors in the city. The color palette of the restaurant is orange, yellow, and red as the Koyo means the leaves of Autumn in the local tongue. It has a dedicated place for private events as well as a raw bar, and traditional Japanese dining area.
This underground Japanese restaurant Dubai also comes with a terrace overlooking the waterfront t of the Dubai Marina that and is a great place to spend pleasant winter evenings with your loved ones.
