“2. The Raw Papaya salad was presented well and looked good. It was fresh to eat, although the quantity seemed too much for one person.

What to Avoid (9)

Food 9

Beef bulgogi Net −1

“We also ordered the Beef Bulgogi, but it was far too salty to eat. It felt like the dishes were sent out without being properly tasted.”
Carrot cake Net −1

“c) The carrot cake looked beautful, but was not upto my expectations. It could do with a little more carrot to keep upto its name, and also enhance the taste.”
Chicken katsu Net −1

“The chicken Katsu was a big no. Its not chicken Katsu. Its breaded chicken with tomato sauce and parmesan. I don't know how they call this Katsu and I'm pretty sure Japanese people would feel insulted :)”
Pad thai noodles Net −1

“The salad was really good,however pad Thai noodles was average. I ordered with seafood, though usually prefer just with shrimps, fish there was overcooked, not enough veges but noodles are a lot. I think they used frozen seafood mix...”
Pho Net −1

“For main Vietnamese noodle with seafood and coconut creme something close to laksa . The Pho, very mediocre.”
Ramen Net −1

“The food was also very inconsistent. The Salmon Maki Roll was delicious, but the ramen was honestly the worst we have ever had. The broth was bland, only warm instead of hot, and the noodles were extremely overcooked.”
Sweet and sour chicken Net −1

“I ordered sweet and sour chicken from the kids menu too with side of grilled chicken but it came as extra sweet and sour chicken but the chicken didn’t taste like it was much protein if you know what I mean (see pic) like it was more like carbs because I think they batter it? I don’t know.”
Tom yam soup Net −1

“I ordered Tom yam soup, which was so so, without coconut milk, I could feel some lemongrass taste but the rest I think it’s far from a real taste of tom yam soup.”
Tori katsu curry Net −1

“5. The Tori Katsu Curry which consisted of breaded deep-fried chicken served with a coconut-based gravy and vegetables along with sticky rice. This was a filling meal in itself. However, it was a bit bland, unless eaten with the spicy salad! Again, the taste of the coconut milk was a bit sharp although it was served with a small amount of gravy.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Arrive early. Come early if you want an indoor table: one family found the compact room busy and preferred the outdoor seating.

Check spice. Ask about spice levels and creaminess before ordering Thai curries; one diner found both the spice and balance lacking.

The Bottom Line

Socialicious is a casual pan-Asian restaurant in Jumeirah Village Circle with enough range for a mixed table. Customers come for sushi, bao, Thai curries and noodles, with the chicken ramen, Khao Suey and pad Thai among the most repeatedly mentioned dishes. The menu also includes vegetarian choices, and staff have helped diners clarify vegan options.

The setting is compact indoors but relaxed, with outdoor seating that several guests prefer in cooler weather. It suits casual dinners with friends, families and date nights, although the small room can fill quickly. Portions are generally described as generous or suitable for sharing; one diner said the spicy seafood bucket could feed two.

Desserts are worth leaving room for, especially baked yoghurt, Japanese cheesecake and coconut ice cream with sticky rice and mango. Quality is not completely uniform. Recent feedback includes a ramen served lukewarm with overcooked noodles, overly salty beef bulgogi, muted Thai spice and a very long dine-in wait.

If you are visiting at a busy time, ask about delays and arrive early for a preferred table. Reported bills include about 150 AED for two and 125 AED for a three-course dinner, while Zomato Gold offers have also been mentioned.
