Located on the west side of Abu Dhabi Island in Marsa Al Bateen, an area that forms part of the city’s extensive western waterfront and high-end residential and retail district, this upscale Japanese restaurant with branches in Dubai and Sharjah is now opening in the United Arab Emirates’ capital. The new Abu Dhabi outpost of this homegrown popular Dubai restaurant has once again been designed by VSHD Design Dubai. 

For close to a decade, this Emirati homegrown restaurant has been masterfully merging authentic Japanese and local Arabian flavors. The design of the latest Abu Dhabi branch, reflects the restaurant’s signature minimalist style enhanced by a rich use of natural materials and anamorphic shapes, exuding a sense of calmness, simplicity and the traditional Japanese concept of wabi sabi or finding the beauty in imperfections. 

What is crucial in this new branch of Origami is the idea of crafting a distinctive ambiance that invites diners to immerse themselves within the space, not just for an appreciation and love of the cuisine, but for an experiential and cultural journey. Dining at Origami Abu Dhabi not only allows one to enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine but invigorates all the senses to provide a sense of calm and sanctuary.

 VSHD’s fusion of traditional Japanese and contemporary design has again transformed this Origami Sushi branch into a restaurant that transcends gastronomy. Through meticulous attention to detail, VSHD has created an ambiance that immerses diners on a journey of both flavors and aesthetics.
