“Must-try dishes: the Philly Chilly Blush Sushi and the Artichoke Chimichuri Pizza — both were exceptional!”
Banh canh Net +1

“Amazing food their mix of flavour is brilliant the quality and taste of food is phenomenal. Highly recommend the Malaysian curry and the banh canh. The miso caramel tart is to die for.”
Bao filled with tofu and broccoli Net +1

“Food was delicious, fresh and packed with so much flavour. Tonight I will dream about that bao filled with tofu and broccoli 😍. The staff were SO friendly and kind. Highly recommend”
Bento box Net +1

“I got the bento box with Soba noodles which were uber tasty.”
Black bean noodles Net +1

“Black Bean Noodles were tasty and packed with that classic umami punch, though they leaned a touch too salty for our liking. A bit more green veg in the mix would have made it perfect, but still very enjoyable.”
Cheese cake Net +1

“Every item we ordered was beyond our expectation…. The jain soup/papaya salad/ whole grain no cheese pizzas and of course cheese cake and tiramisu … delicious.”
Chocolate filled bao buns Net +1

“Best vegan restaurant in the city! My 10th visit here. I’m happy every time. Jane my waitress was awesome and attentive. The Burmese Khow Suey was a must have along with the Chocolate Filled Bao Buns as dessert!”
Coconut panacotta Net +1

“Coconut panacotta to end the meal - also highly recommended!”
Dark chocolate fudge Net +1

“And to end the meal, the dark chocolate fudge was rich, indulgent, and the perfect sweet finish.”
Dimsum platter Net +1

“We started with the Dimsum Platter (10 pieces, 3 varieties) — steamed to perfection. Each dumpling was clearly freshly made that day; the wrappers were beautifully thin and delicate, and the fillings were bursting with flavor. Not a single one went unfinished — a rare feat!”
Enchanted eggplant sushi Net +1

“The true star of the show, a dish so shockingly good it deserves its own red carpet: the Enchanted Eggplant Sushi. I know, I know, "eggplant sushi" sounds like something you'd reluctantly consume after a particularly ill-advised dare. But trust me when I say this was a revelation – creamy, umami-rich, and utterly captivating.”
Fried turnip Net +1

“We ordered the Crystal Dumplings (which I wouldn’t recommend), the Tofu Bao (decent), Fried Turnip (also decent), Enoki Sushi (just okay), Pomelo Salad (the pomelo tasted a little off), and the Soba Noodles (not something I’d order again).”
Heart of palm sushi rolls Net +1

“We had the Purple Truffle and the Heart of Palm sushi rolls, the complex flavors were divine.”

The Bottom Line

Dip Dash is a vegetarian and vegan Pan-Asian restaurant in Al Barsha that suits diners looking beyond standard meat-free fare. You can request a full vegan menu, explore a broad Jain selection, or choose gluten-free adaptations. Sushi is the clearest starting point: reviewers mention fresh vegetable-filled rolls, Purple Truffle, Heart of Palm and Enchanted Eggplant Sushi.

Dim sums and baos are also recurring favourites. The menu ranges beyond Japanese dishes. Malaysian curry, Burmese Khow Suey, ramen, khao suey, papaya salad and multigrain pizza all receive positive mentions, though the creative flavour combinations are not universally successful.

One diner found several dishes uneven, disliked the Crystal Dumplings and would not reorder the Soba Noodles; another found the Black Bean Noodles slightly too salty. Portions were also described as small by one reviewer. Dessert is worth leaving room for, especially the panna cotta, So Much Fudge Cake, miso caramel tart and chocolate-filled bao.

The setting is calm and comfortable, and service is generally friendly and informative. Ask staff to explain unfamiliar dishes, allow for a possible wait during busy periods, and plan ahead for parking. Sauces, dips and curry pastes can also be bought to take home.
