“Honestly the best Asian/Thai food I’ve had in Dubai. Literally every dish was excellent and the service was impeccable (the Korean lady manager was extremely professional, helpful and sweet). We ordered the lab gay (minced chicken) salad and chicken satay for starters, followed by mee goreng (highly recommended) and then finally the sticky rice and mango dessert (to die for). My husband enjoyed the crispy duck as well.”March 2021

Allow Time. Build in extra time for service, especially for starters; one diner waited 45 minutes despite booking the earliest slot.
Check Buffet. If you have vegan or vegetarian dietary needs, confirm suitable buffet dishes in advance rather than relying on the buffet selection.
Try Outdoors. Ask about outdoor seating when the weather is good; reviewers describe the terrace and street-food-cart setup as especially relaxing.
Read Menu. If you prefer brighter dining conditions, ask about the table or seating area because several guests found the restaurant very dark.

Multiple diners reported long waits, including more than 30 minutes for starters and 45 minutes when the restaurant was not busy.
A vegan diner was served the chicken-and-seafood Tom Kha Gai instead of the requested vegan Tom Kha.
The dark, elegant atmosphere can make menus difficult to read, according to more than one review.
Food is not consistently praised: one review found the duck bao cold and the jasmine rice stale, while another found sushi rice poor.
One reviewer found many children present and felt the restaurant was not a good choice for a child-free meal.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Sui Mui is a pan-Asian restaurant in Dubai Marina inside The Westin, with a menu shaped by Thai, Japanese, Korean and Indonesian cooking. You can order à la carte dishes such as duck bao buns, roast duck, shrimp tempura and sushi, or book one of the buffet-style evenings that reviewers describe as a strong part of the experience. The buffet formats vary, but past guests have enjoyed Bangkok Night’s outdoor street-food-cart theme, with sushi, papaya salad and shrimp Pad Thai among the highlights.
Street Food Night has also included dim sum, barbecued prawns and squid, hainanese chicken rice and dessert. Outdoor seating can be particularly pleasant in good weather, while the open kitchen gives you a view of the chefs at work. Portions are generally described as generous, and there is a separate vegetarian menu.
Service is the main caution. Some visits were warm and attentive, but others involved waits of 30–45 minutes for starters, even when the restaurant was quiet. If you have strict vegan or gluten-free requirements, confirm each dish carefully: one reviewer received chicken soup instead of the requested vegan version.
The lighting is also very dim, and the atmosphere can feel family-oriented on some nights.
