One Oak: Egypt’s First Ever Steak and Sushi Bar
We all love sushi and steak, but what happens when you combine both in one place? One Oak has the answer!
Located in Sheikh Zayed’s Tivoli Dome and soon to open in the 5th Settlement’s Point 90 Mall, One OAK (which apparently stands for “One Of A Kind” and has nothing to do with wood) is the first ever sushi and steak bar in Egypt where you will get to create your one-of-a-kind experience by enjoying your own creations!
The place itself has a very nice fine-dining atmosphere and is very spacious and elegant, perfect for pretty much anything from work meeting to dates. The walls are filled with instructions about the many different steps to shape your experience at One Oak, like the different items available, the steps of customizing your very own steak and even how to eat sushi and how to dip it in soy sauce.
For sushi, One Oak offers many rolls based on your preferences from nigiri sushi, maki rolls, gunkan maki, classic rolls, hot rolls, sashimi and more. They also offer combination platters of 12, 24 and 40 pieces at reasonable prices. One of their most famous rolls is the “Salmon Rocket Roll,” which is a salmon roll with cream cheese and rocket, however we personally fell in love with their “Mango Roll,” which is made of crab shrimp mayo, smoked salmon, avocado, cucumber, black sesame and mango chutney.
Now, when it comes to steak, One Oak lets you shape your own steak, choosing the cut — from ribeye, tomahawk, striploin, t-bone, topside, tenderloin and even veal and lamb chops — then weight: 180-210gm, 220-260gm, 390-470gm and more. You also choose the temperature: well done, medium well, medium, medium rare, rare and for the first time in Egypt, One Oak offers blue rare steak, which is completely red throughout. Then you get to choose how to marinate it: salt and pepper, herbs and mustard or other mixes of special liquid marination and spices, then pick the sauce that goes along with the steak, from balsamic sauce to herb sauce, lemon butter sauce and many more. Finally, you even get to pick the knife of your choice to devour that steak with from a wide variety of premium knives.
Their most popular steak item on the menu is their “Quatro Steak Skewer,” which is 300 gm of four different cuts of steak: beef tenderloin, beef rib-eye, beef striploin and rump cooked to the temperature of your choice, offering you a chance to try out multiple different cuts all at once.
Now aside from the steak and sushi, One Oak offers a variety of other items to go along, with many options of salads, appetizers, soups, desserts, hot and cold drinks, cocktails and even milkshakes.
Their most popular appetizers platter is the “One Oak Surf’n’Turf,” which consists of asian chicken lettuce wrap, beef satay and lemon grass prawns from the steak bar and seared tuna, cucumber gunkan roll and new style salmon crispy rice from the sushi bar. We also loved their “Red Bull Cherry Bomb,” which is a Red Bull cocktail with cherry syrup, mint leaves, lemon and blueberries.
