Ōku
A Taste of Japan in the Heart of Ireland

Ōku is open for dinner service to residents and non-residents, Friday through Tuesday, subject to availability.
Indulge in an exceptional sushi experience at our newest dining destination, Ōku. Taking its name from the Katakana rendering of “oak,” Ōku is a direct tribute to the meaning of Adare – “ford of the oak.” Inspired by the Japanese philosophy that “a single brushstroke can tell a story,” every plate celebrates simplicity, precision, and purity of flavour.
Our sushi chef, Chef Jan Vincent Amo brings artistry and precision to every dish. Blending time-honoured techniques with contemporary flair, he ensures that every dish is a masterpiece. From the crisp harmony of Bluefin Tuna Shibaki to the earthy warmth of Truffled Wagyu Donburi, the culinary experience at Ōku has been designed to reflect both authentic Japanese flavours and the richness of Ireland’s natural bounty.
Every element is prepared with intention, from sashimi sliced to reveal its natural clarity, to rolls assembled with care to achieve harmony in every bite. Nigiri is crafted with balance in mind, pairing premium fish with subtly seasoned rice.
Join us at Ōku and savour the finest sushi, prepared with the highest standards of freshness and quality.

The dress code is smart casual. Long trousers are required for gentlemen, smart jeans and trainers are permitted. We do request that all guests refrain from wearing sportswear, baseball caps and flip flops.
We warmly welcome all adult guests to Ōku. Please note that children under the age of 16 are not permitted, as our culinary concept is crafted to offer a sophisticated Japanese dining experience. Due to the constructional layout of the restaurant, neither highchairs nor buggies can be accommodated inside.
