What to Avoid (2)

Food 2

Half peking duck Net −1

“We ordered half Peking duck, lobster, sea bass... Once I see the dish of Peking duck, I doubt they are Chinese cook inside. It's not the traditional skin only serving with Chinese pancake... But the worst is the cut of the piece is so thick, while you pay like 400 for half duck with worst quality. It's very disappointing. This is totally a roast duck disk but not Peking Duck, please!!!”
Yin yung tiramisu Net −1

“Desserts yin yung tiramisu didn't taste like tiramisu at all but mango ball cake was light with mango flavour.”

Book Ahead. Reserve in advance, especially for outdoor dining, as one reviewer said the restaurant gets busy.

Request Outdoors. Ask for an outdoor table for the clearest Burj Al Arab view; if weather closes the terrace, request a window seat.

The Bottom Line

Zheng He's is an upscale contemporary Chinese restaurant in Umm Suqeim where the setting is a major part of the meal: outdoor tables face the waterways and Burj Al Arab, while the indoor dining room still has an elegant, serene feel. It suits a date, celebration or relaxed dinner, and reviewers have also found it welcoming for families. Food highlights include Peking duck with crisp skin, pancakes and sauces, plus dim sum platters mixing steamed and fried pieces.

Other praised orders include beef hand-pulled noodle soup, kung pao prawns and black pepper beef. The Saturday Yum Cha Brunch is a distinct experience, with dim sum served to the table, live music and a noodle station with a cooking show. Service is usually attentive and staff are often willing to explain dishes, adjust orders for gluten allergies and help with celebrations.

Still, allow time for dinner: a few older reviews mention slow service or dishes arriving separately, and one diner found the food too salty. Book ahead if you want an outdoor table. Hotel parking may be validated, but a reviewer said Madinat parking was not; indoor seating can also feel cool, so a light wrap is useful.
