Reminder: Due to Covid-19, some restaurants have altered their offerings and may be temporarily closed.
Before dining at any restaurant in Dubai, here are some general rules to take note of:
Make a reservation (Duh!) | Gents, no shorts, flip flops, tank tops and the likes (always best to call and confirm before going) | Confirm that the offer/special you are looking to redeem is still available or applicable on your day of preference.
Below are my favorite Chinese restaurants in the city (that I’ve personally tried):
HUTONG ($$-$$$) – DIFC
Vibe: Chic/Trendy
Originating from Hong Kong, and serving guests in NYC, London, and Miami, Hutong continues to serve tasty dishes from Northern China in stylish setting in the heart of Dubai’s financial district. I recommend going at night – the vibe/ambiance is much better!
