The Bottom Line

Hyu is a Korean restaurant in Jumeirah Lake Towers with a strong following among diners looking for Korean comfort food and table barbecue. The marinated beef is the main draw: staff can cook and cut it for you, and one portion is reported to suit two people when paired with another dish. The refillable side dishes are a useful bonus.

There is more to the menu than grilling. Reviews specifically mention bibimbap, tteokbokki, dakgangjeong and bulgogi mandu soup, with the last described as a taste of Korea thanks to its rice cake and vegetables. First-time diners may find the staff helpful when choosing dishes, and families have enjoyed the hot-stove beef and ramen.

The setting is generally described as clean, relaxed and quietly comfortable, though one visit reported flies. Prices divide opinion. Some diners call them reasonable or budget-friendly, while others consider portions inconsistent and cite around 70 AED for a small plate of Korean crispy chicken.

There are also two serious reviews alleging illness after eating, plus a separate hygiene complaint; these are individual reports, but worth bearing in mind. If visiting at night, booking ahead is sensible, and non-BBQ dishes are available if the limited meat selection does not appeal.
