Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5
1

Go early. For a dine-in table, arrive early: one review noted limited seating and a crowded restaurant handling delivery orders.

2

State spice. Tell the team your spice tolerance. Reviews say dishes can run hot, while spice levels can be adjusted on request.

Uneven dishes

One visit found the prawn toast overcooked and the Mongolian beef tough, unusually sweet and disappointing.

The Bottom Line

Woks Den is a small Asian street-food restaurant in Jumeirah where the menu moves across Thai, Chinese and other pan-Asian dishes. The clearest crowd-pleasers are the momos, laksa, nasi goreng and pad Thai, while the make-your-own wok lets you choose a noodle, protein, vegetables and sauce rather than taking a fixed combination. Portions are often generous, and one reviewer said the pad Thai was large enough for two people.

The food is generally praised for arriving hot, fresh and quickly, with the laksa and nasi goreng receiving especially strong endorsements. The kitchen can also adjust spice, so tell the team whether you want a milder or hotter version. A personal thank-you note on some takeaway bags is a memorable touch, and reviews consistently describe the service as kind and helpful.

This is more of a cosy quick meal than a spacious group restaurant. Reviews describe only three or four tables, so arriving early helps if you want to dine in; the venue also handles substantial takeaway and delivery traffic. Street parking can be tight on evenings and weekends, although one review says the restaurant can direct diners to rear parking.

Some dishes have been criticised for excess soy sauce or inconsistent cooking, so ordering familiar favourites first is sensible.
