Hanu is the only Dubai restaurant serving Hoengseong Hanwoo Beef, Korea's most celebrated heritage breed. Thin-sliced prime cuts arrive at your table with five varieties of sea salt, gochujang (chili paste), and house-made kimchi. The tableside charcoal grill gives each slice a char while the interior stays rare.
Tips from diners
The staff will grill your meat if you prefer — ask them to do it if you're unfamiliar with Korean BBQ technique to ensure proper doneness.
Japanese Kobe beef's marbling (A5 grade) melts on the tongue when grilled over charcoal. Hanu's version includes five different salts—from simple sea salt to truffle salt—and house-made umami-rich dipping sauces that transform each bite.
Tips from diners
Order 'Meat Me at the Grill' — a progressive beef tasting that includes Australian Black Angus, Australian Wagyu, Japanese Wagyu striploin, and specialty short ribs.
A cooling finish to the rich grilling experience: shaved ice layered with sweet mango, sweetened condensed milk, and toasted coconut flakes. The brightness of fresh mango cuts through the richness of the beef course.
Tips from diners
Request a table along the railing for unobstructed views of Palm Jumeirah at sunset — arrive by 18:30 to secure the light.
A delicate starter using prime beef and tender raw prawns. The beef is hand-cut and dressed in a light sesame oil and soy glaze, while the prawns provide sweetness and briny contrast. Served with crispy crisps to scoop the tartare.
Tips from diners
Book your table 2-3 weeks in advance, especially for weekend dining — the rooftop has limited seating.
Short ribs are marinated for hours in a blend of soy, sesame, pear, and garlic before grilling. As they cook on the charcoal, the marinade caramelizes into a glossy coating. The meat becomes so tender it pulls away from the bone with a fork.
Tips from diners
Ban chan (small side dishes) arrive automatically — these include kimchi varieties, pickled vegetables, and palate cleansers between bites.
Opened in late 2024 at St Regis Gardens on Palm Jumeirah, Hanu is the vision of Chef Kyung Soo Moon, a Seoul native with 24+ years of global culinary experience.

Arrive by 18:00-18:30 on clear evenings to enjoy the sunset over the Palm before the sun drops.
