What to Eat at Mukbang Shows Restaurant Korean BBQ and Seafood - Deira Branch 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 Mukbang Shows Restaurant Korean BBQ and Seafood - Deira Branch, 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.

Korean chicken Net +1
“We were here last December and I can say that what was served before is completely different now. I am ashamed that I even took my brother and friends to go here. We left the restaurant with dissapointment. This is just an honest review based on what we ate and what we experienced. We spent 104 each excluding vat. The food was unfortunately not worth the price. The quality of the meat used was disappointing and did not meet expectations. We were also surprised that the kimchi served was made with regular cabbage instead of traditional Chinese cabbage, which affected the authenticity and taste of the the kimchi. Additionally, the server did not inform us about the waiting time for the Korean chicken, leaving us waiting much longer than expected without any update. Overall, the experience did not justify the cost.”

Tteokbokki Net +1
“We ordered Tteokbokki in addition to that: it was tasty, but if you are not a fan of a sweet hint in your tteokbokki, then make sure you ask them about it. The one we ordered came with cheese and boiled egg, it tasted a little bit sweet. Even though it said in the description of the menu spicy, it wasn’t 🤣 Maybe they thought we are not able to handle spices. But to be honest it was ok, our stomach wasn’t ready for spices that day. But make sure you tell them your spice levels so you don’t get disappointed later.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check spice. Tell the staff your preferred spice level: one diner found both tteokbokki and Korean fried chicken milder and sweeter than expected.
Confirm VAT. Before paying, check whether VAT is included; one customer said the menu did not clearly explain that it would be charged separately.
Allow time. If ordering fried chicken, ask about the expected wait and follow up, since one anniversary visit received it later than the other dishes.
Plan parking. Allow extra time to park. A visitor found public parking behind the restaurant and walked about five minutes to the venue.
Check portions. For delivery, confirm the current portion size before ordering if value matters, as one regular diner reported a major reduction online.
Ask about sets. Ask which all-you-can-eat set includes premium meats: the Seol Mukbang set was described as including ribeye and wagyu, unlike the AED 69 option.

Food delays

Billing clarity
A customer reported that VAT was charged separately without clear menu disclosure and that a Melona item cost AED 14 instead of AED 13.
Parking difficulty
Parking was described as extremely difficult to find, while another diner used public parking behind the restaurant and walked five minutes.
Inconsistent quality
One returning customer felt the meat quality had declined and said the kimchi used regular cabbage rather than traditional Chinese cabbage.

The Bottom Line
Mukbang Shows is a Korean BBQ and seafood restaurant in Port Saeed built around table grilling and all-you-can-eat set menus. Diners mention fresh samgyupsal, seafood, refillable side dishes, and beef bulgogi; the Seol Mukbang set was praised for its ribeye and wagyu. It is a sociable choice for friends, families, birthdays, and anniversaries rather than a quick, quiet meal.
The atmosphere comes across as cheerful, clean, and family-friendly. Children were welcomed, Korean costume photos add a fun extra, and one birthday guest received a song and treats. Staff are often described as warm and attentive, though a few reviews report forgotten items, slow follow-up, or delayed Korean fried chicken.
Prices vary by set. One diner reported an AED 89 deal with seven meat choices, while another paid AED 189 per person for Seol Mukbang and said children aged 4–12 paid half. Ask about the current inclusions and spice level—tteokbokki and fried chicken were milder or sweeter than expected for one guest.
Also clarify VAT before paying, and allow time for parking; public spaces behind the restaurant may require a five-minute walk. Delivery portions have also drawn a recent complaint.
