99 Sushi Bar & Restaurant opens its first venue in Dubai
After months of anticipation, famed Japanese eatery, 99 Sushi Bar & Restaurant is finally opening its doors on Tuesday, September 1, aside the Address Downtown hotel, in Downtown Dubai. It’s the second branch in the UAE, as a venue has been open in Abu Dhabi since 2017. Whilst the cuisine is Japanese, the haute restaurant originally made a name for itself in Spain. Expect fine-dining Japanese cuisine from sushi to nigiri, as well as 99 Sushi’s signature dishes, such as Gunkan Sushi (Uni Toro, Caviar), Spicy Tuna Tartar, Foie Gras Nigiri and the famous crispy tiger prawn tempura dipped in spicy sauce. The interior is the perfect blend of plush velvets and striking walls in hues of red and black, set off by ornate gold fixtures.
