“•Crispy beef- Mongolian bbq sauce 49 dhs •Thai green curry prawns 55 dhs •Veg fried rice 27 dhs •Honey siracha prawns 57 dhs •Bak mi goreng (I practically ate mi goreng everyday when I went to indonesia and I promise you this is so spot on) 45 dhs There’s a lot of mixed reviews about this place and it made me think twice before deciding to go but I’m so glad I went! Located in front of La mer. Large variety of dishes to choose from and surprisingly each dish had an authentic taste to its country of origin which is so impressive. Most of the dishes were vv spicy and we requested regular spice so beware of that.”April 2021

Go early. For a dine-in table, arrive early: one review noted limited seating and a crowded restaurant handling delivery orders.
State spice. Tell the team your spice tolerance. Reviews say dishes can run hot, while spice levels can be adjusted on request.
Try laksa. Laksa is a strong first order, with multiple reviewers calling the soup one of the best or their favourite dish.
Ask parking. If street parking is difficult, call ahead and ask for the rear parking location mentioned by a reviewer.
Check takeaway. For takeaway orders, check whether the reported 25% discount is still available before ordering.

The restaurant is very small, with reviews describing only three or four tables and difficulty accommodating large groups.
One visit found the prawn toast overcooked and the Mongolian beef tough, unusually sweet and disappointing.
A reviewer felt some dishes were covered in so much soy sauce that their underlying flavour disappeared.
Street parking has been reported as tight during evenings and weekends, and the restaurant has no dedicated parking according to one review.
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.
