What to Eat at Chowking Ibn Batuta Mall How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Chowking Ibn Batuta Mall, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Kare-kare Net +1
“I ordered the Kare-Kare and was pleasantly surprised with the generous portion. The flavor was tasty and had that comforting homemade touch, which I really enjoyed. The only thing I would suggest is making the meat a bit more tender so it’s easier to enjoy without leftovers.”

Beef chaopan Net −1
“Beef Chaopan. Poor quality. They should set standards. MOE branch is consistent However IBN batuta branch Beef Chaopan is poorly made. Rice soft and sticky a bit same as the texture when rice is already spoiled. Thats how it looks like and feels like when eating it. I only visit Chowking for this but IBN batuta never again.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Allow time. Allow at least 20–30 minutes during busy periods, especially for dine-in orders.
Check orders. For Talabat deliveries, check every main and side as soon as the order arrives.
Confirm ingredients. Confirm substitutions and listed ingredients before paying; one noodle order arrived without its advertised egg.
Inspect packaging. Check that delivery packaging is sealed and containers are intact before eating.
Check availability. Ask whether menu items are available before ordering; one review says wonton soup was usually unavailable.

The Bottom Line
Chowking Ibn Batuta Mall is a delivery Chinese restaurant in Jebel Ali Village, with a menu that attracts customers back for Chao Fan, crispy chicken, halo and Kare-Kare. The food can be the strong point: Dynamite Shrimp and Braised Beef with Rice were described as fresh and well-seasoned, while the Kare-Kare earned praise for its generous portion and comforting flavour. Service is much less consistent.
Some visits bring accommodating staff, quick preparation and a patient cashier, even when the mall is noisy. Other customers waited 20–30 minutes, including for a best-selling combo or hot-and-sour vegetable soup. Several reviews also describe abrupt or unfriendly interactions, so expectations should depend on how busy the counter is.
Delivery deserves a careful check. A Talabat order arrived with one main missing and the wrong side, while another had missing barbecue and drinks, a broken container and unsealed packaging. Confirm ingredients and substitutions too: one noodle dish listed egg but arrived without it, and wonton soup was reported as frequently unavailable.
Prices mentioned include a meal for two at 56aed, Lomi at 28aed and milk tea at 18aed, though these are customer-reported amounts rather than a current price list.
