From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2008

If you haven’t been for dinner at Zheng He’s yet, then make it a priority to do so. The sooner you do, the sooner you can get stuck into prawn and caviar or squid ink dumplings. The Beijing duck is also a classic – the meat tender and not too dry.

But if you want to venture away from duck, try the beef tenderloin with wild mushrooms, which is another spectacular choice. The scallops with black truffle and white asparagus main are excellent too, and if ordering should be paired with the sautéed French beans with garlic and dried prawns.

If you prefer rice dishes, there is lotus rice with chicken and dried scallops and garlic rice on the menu to meet your appetite. And if you liked the mains, just wait until you see the desserts.

We highly recommend the coconut ice-cream and plum crumble, which – like almost everything else on the menu – will not only end your meal with a bang, but have you vowing to come back soon.

The location of this restaurant is really excellent and impressive if you get good window seating or outside in the winter. The food in general is not true Chinese rather fusion if this is what you are after. Always better book as for some strange reason they don't appreciate people walk-in requesting table even when actually the restaurant is rather half empty. The staff are attentive but not all as some are just have not got a clue what serving in a restaurant is all about "enjoying your food" . I wouldn't say never again but will be there if have to for the location when I have guests to entertain over looking burj alarab. I just wish the management teaches the staff to welcome walking in people they come to enjoy !

It wasn't our choice to go there but the couple who invited us out did not make reservations in time at a different Chinese Food restaurant and they decided to go to this one. It was Chinese New Year with a set meal for 750 AED each. The inside was too dark and the food, while edible was not spectacular and for that price you would expect better. Total price we paid for half the bill came to over $500.00 which included 2 dinners, 1 bottle of wine and 1 beer. On a good note, they did have a Lion Dance but seen lot's of them so no real value to that. Anyway, never again!!!

This place had good food and good service. If I could've seen the decorations, maybe I would've given it more points. This place was way too dark. They were trying to pull off the classy look...it failed by a long shot. The waiters were busy chatting, instead of greeting us at the door. I found this pretty disappointing considering how much we pay for their service and food. A bowl of rice is 30AED while a main course is just 40AED ... that just doesn't make sense to me.

I would go again for the delicious food, but all of the other things about the restaurant turned me down.
