Hoe Lee Kow

Hoe Lee Kow – Lunch Review Chef Reif Othman brings his bold love for Korean BBQ with a creative, modern twist in this cosy little spot. The welcome was warm, and the service genuinely stood out — the team is extremely friendly and attentive. That said, the food overall didn’t quite land for me. The Haemul Pajeon (AED 58) came with too much batter and wasn’t the thin, crispy style I personally prefer. The kimchi was tasty but leaned very mild and slightly too sweet. Surprisingly, the highlight for me was the HLK Greens (AED 48) – light, fresh and actually very enjoyable. The seabass (AED 158) felt overpriced for what it offered, and the Strawberry Cheesecake Bingsu (AED 60) was pleasant but lacked depth of flavour. Service-wise – excellent. Food-wise – just okay for the price point. Parking is also a bit of a challenge: they have valet, but expect around a 20-minute wait when collecting your car plus an additional AED 10 charge.

We just had brunch at Hoe Lee Kow and it was truly exceptional. Every dish was bursting with flavour, beautifully presented, and unlike anything we’ve had before. From the first bite to the last, the chef’s creativity and attention to detail were on display. The ambiance was spot on, stylish yet welcoming and the service was flawless. The servers were warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the meal. An unforgettable experience from start to finish. 5 ⭐️ is an understatement!

Whilst the decor was lovely, servers were attentive, and the valet experience was comfortable, the ambience of the place was a miss, due to the choice and volume of the background music, it gave the seating area the vibe of a fast-food joint. Also, for a michillen bib gourmand Restaurant, the food was mediocre, yet it was priced to meet my expectations, not priced to reflect my actual experience. Perhaps expectation was the thief of joy on this occasion.

Okay, THIS is the best restaurant in Dubai Hills. Finally, a restaurant where I had trouble deciding which dish I wanted since there were so many good options! Usually I feel disappointed after going to some of the restaurants in the area, but Hoe Lee Kow was amazing! I definitely want to go back to try the other appetizing dishes. Plus, the cocktails were exciting, AND tasty! Not a common combination
