From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2009

If you’re serious about exploring Far-East cuisine in Dubai, then Seoul Garden Restaurant is about as authentic an experience as you’re going to get. The setting (not, as the name may lead diners to believe, in a garden) is simple and clinical, with basic Asian-style decor.

But the squeamish should give the place a wide berth. Cow’s feet and intestines feature prominently on the menu. But don’t worry; those concerned with their reaction can hide away in private dining rooms to sample it. If you’d rather play it safe, there are dozens of other options, from pickles and fried fish to sauce-heavy beef ribs and tender, fried squid pancakes.

If you think your culinary skills beat the chef’s, the waitress will set a barbecue at your table and you can cook your own dinner. Even if your cooking leaves something to be desired, it’s a novel way to dine out.
