Why go
Coals at the table. The National's April 2024 review describes a charcoal grill built into every table at Smoki Moto, on the first floor of the Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah. Chefs grill for you if you prefer. The meat starts at the butcher's counter by the entrance, where the cuts are shown with their marbling score and farm. The house opened on Jan. 25, 2024, and calls itself Dubai's first licensed Korean steakhouse. Korean dishes fill the rest of the menu: japchae, bibimbap, pancakes, stews. Time Out Dubai kept it in its 2026 steakhouse guide.
