Eat your way around town
Dubai K-Fest is taking over the city until October 4, with Korean-inspired experiences spanning food, culture, shopping and entertainment.
But if you’re mainly here for the food, there’s plenty to get stuck into. The 10-day festival is bringing Korean flavours to restaurants and food spots across Dubai, with special dishes, set menus and limited-time offers.
Participating spots include Hanu, CupBop, Mukbang Shows Restaurant, Sui Mui, Jun’s and Koreana Restaurant, each putting its own spin on Korean favourites.

The Experiences
At Hanu, the ‘Meat Me at the Grill’ experience is all about Korean barbecue, with tenderloin, striploin and yangnyeom short rib galbi on the menu.
Over at CupBop, diners can build their own Beef Bop or Rock Bop, combining rice, cabbage mix and noodles with Korean-inspired toppings.
For something a little more indulgent, Mukbang Shows Restaurant is serving up an all-you-can-eat Korean dining experience, while Sui Mui is offering Haemul-Bokkeum, a Korean-inspired seafood stir-fry.
At Jun’s, the Korean classic gets a luxe upgrade. Its bulgogi-inspired dish features 300g of Wagyu 7 ribeye, served with Korean chive and scallion salad, aged kimchi vinaigrette and sesame seeds.

Meanwhile, Seoul Street Cafe in The Greens is getting into the Chuseok spirit with a limited-time combo. Until September 28, diners can pick up a chocolate butter tteok and yuzu cooler.
And if you’re after a Korean-inspired caffeine hit, Nespresso is introducing its Creamy Dalgona Latteat selected Dubai locations, including Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, City Centre Mirdif and Dubai Hills Mall.
With Korean food taking centre stage alongside the festival’s wider cultural programme, Dubai K-Fest is giving foodies plenty of reasons to eat their way through the city.
