What to Avoid (14)

Food 12

  1. Brownie Net −1

  2. Chicken dim sum Net −1
    “The chicken dim sum had nothing to write much about.”
  3. Crispy calamari Net −1

  4. Hainan chicken rice Net −1
    “Same comment for the Hainan Chicken Rice.”
  5. Manchow soup Net −1
    “The taste is average only, the soup felt very soya saucy despite being a manchow soup. The wings were good and the main course just average.”
  6. Mushrooms bao Net −1
    “Unfortunately, not a fan for the Mushrooms Bao but my partner said, the Double Sake Roll was good, and for the chicken satay, was more like Malaysian Style instead of Indonesian.”
  7. Pepper beef Net −1
    “Only the pepper beef was too greasy.”
  8. Pulled beef Net −1
    “The bao buns are good, the pulled beef is chewy and not of good quality beef.”
  9. Ramen Net −1
    “As well as the Ramen that my partner had, was not good at all.”
  10. Udon noodles Net −1
    “The restaurant advertises udon noodles, yet serves something different. The noodles was overcooked and Mashy while the soup was overwhelmingly flavored with MSG, despite staff insisting they only used broth powder.”
  11. Vanilla cake Net −1
    “The worst is the desert, this is the first time Iam seeing a vanilla cake like the below, felt more like the one minute microwave cake”
  12. Edamame Net −2
    “The edamame ordered were very bland. We were given a choice of either spicy or salted, we ordered the latter. The salt was just sprinkled on the bunch of edamame in the dish. It tasted bland and we were trying to have small crystals of salt along with it to try and relish it.”

Drinks 2

  1. Mango mojito Net −1
    “To drink, we ordered a mango mojito and it tasted bland with an absolute lack of any mango sweetness in all that fizz.”
  2. Mexican-style beer Net −1
    “One downside, however, was the bartender. A simple Mexican-style beer was not prepared properly; the glass had too much salt and it wasn’t spread evenly.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5
1

Use valet. Use the venue’s valet parking through P5 at Digital Park rather than searching for parking yourself.

2

Avoid peak dates. For smoother service, choose a regular night instead of major holidays such as Valentine’s Day.

The Bottom Line

Mogao Restobar & Lounge is a Pan-Asian restaurant in Dubai Silicon Oasis that works for dinner, drinks, shisha and group celebrations. You can order sushi, dim sum, bao, noodles and Thai dishes, while the restaurant-and-bar format gives the place more energy than a quiet neighbourhood dining room. Birthday and anniversary diners have praised the arrangements, and one party received a photographer at no extra cost.

The strongest food mentions include fresh sushi, butter garlic prawns dim sum, Korean wings, crispy lotus stem, chicken satay and baked yoghurt. The AED 44 business lunch is another useful draw; reviews describe versions with soup, salad, sides, a main course, dessert and, in one account, a house beverage. Portion sizes are generally considered decent.

Atmosphere is a major part of the visit. Expect stylish interiors, outdoor seating, shisha and occasional live music or DJs. Valet parking through P5 at Digital Park is repeatedly described as convenient.

The trade-off is consistency: some diners report excellent food and attentive service, while others mention slow courses, a 45-minute soup wait, bland or overcooked dishes and weak cooling. Friday nights and busy holidays can also be loud or delayed, so a regular evening may be more comfortable.
