Foodies, meat lovers, and anyone who appreciates a well-marbled Wagyu, rejoice! Smoki Moto, Dubai’s first high-end licensed Korean steakhouse, is rolling out a revamped menu this March, and let’s just say—it’s got more sizzle than a K-drama plot twist. Whether you’re a die-hard carnivore or just here for the kimchi, Smoki Moto’s latest offerings promise an unforgettable feast filled with top-tier meats, bold flavors, and just the right amount of interactive fun.
A Butcher’s Dream Come True
If you’ve ever daydreamed about Wagyu steaks (and honestly, who hasn’t?), Smoki Moto’s expanded Butcher’s Shop selection will have you giddy with excitement. Picture this: a Wagyu T-Bone so exquisitely marbled it deserves its own art gallery and a 1KG bone-in Ribeye so juicy it practically melts at the sight of a grill. Both are hand-selected, expertly prepared, and destined to leave you in a blissful meat coma.
And let’s talk about the 7-Hour Shortrib Wang-Galbi Ssam—because, oh boy, this one’s a game-changer. Char-grilled to perfection, glazed in a sweet soy jus, and served with crisp lettuce wraps, this dish is the love language of anyone who enjoys a hands-on, flavor-packed feast. For something a little more comforting but equally indulgent, the Wagyu Soboro Sot Bap, a beef and egg rice bowl bursting with umami, delivers a warm hug in every bite.
Starters That Steal the Show
Kickstart your meal with an array of vibrant, flavor-loaded appetizers. The Wagyu Neobiani, a smashed beef cake topped with pine nuts and an onion Jang sauce, is proof that great things happen when you mix high-quality meat with just the right amount of finesse. Feeling a little fancy? The Korean Beef Tartare (Yukhoe)—thinly sliced and paired with sweet Korean pear—offers a refreshing take on an iconic dish.
Seafood lovers, don’t worry—we see you. The Salmon Hoe, featuring fresh salmon with onions, chili dadaegi, and gochujang vinaigrette, delivers the perfect balance of spice and citrusy zing.
Crispy, Crunchy, and Utterly Addictive
If your heart beats faster at the thought of a golden, crispy bite, the Crispy Perilla Twigim is calling your name. These wagyu and veggie-stuffed perilla leaves come with a side of rose tteok-bokki foam, making every bite a delightful mix of crunch and creamy goodness. And let’s not forget the Honey Butter Potato Jeon—a shredded potato pancake infused with chives and that irresistibly addictive honey butter flavor that has taken modern Korean cuisine by storm. Sweet, savory, and perfectly crispy, this dish alone is worth the trip.
Bibimbaps, Noodles & Soups—Oh My!
Smoki Moto’s bibimbaps aren’t just meals—they’re an experience in a bowl. The Yukhoe Bibimbap, topped with raw wagyu tartare and crispy rice, is a beef lover’s dream, while the Classic Bibimbap keeps it fresh with a medley of vegetables. And for those who like a little heat, the Wooji Kimchi Bibimbap brings the spice game with its punchy, fermented goodness.
If noodles are more your vibe, the Potato Sujebi is a must-try. These hand-pulled short noodles swim in a fragrant perilla and dashi broth, delivering slurp-worthy satisfaction. Prefer a chilled option? The Mul-Bibim with gochujang broth, cucumber, and white kimchi is a cool, tangy delight. And for something deeply comforting, the Clam Soon Dubu Jjigae, a rich, umami-packed soft tofu stew, proves that soup can be just as indulgent as steak.
Desserts That’ll Make You Forget You’re Full
Let’s be honest—no meal is complete without a little (or a lot of) dessert, and Smoki Moto is pulling out all the stops. The Coco Mango Bingsu, a dreamy coconut milk shaved ice topped with mango compote and fresh mint, is as refreshing as it is Insta-worthy. The Flavored Korean Tteok, soft and chewy rice cakes infused with sweet flavors, is perfect for those who like their desserts with a side of nostalgia. But the real showstopper? The Korean Sweet Potato Basque Cheesecake—a rich, creamy delight topped with a sesame biscuit crumble that’s basically a mic drop in dessert form.
