Why Love Mukbang Leads Dubai’s 2025 Openings

Live-fire Korean BBQ + Seafood, done the right way. Love Mukbang brings the energy of Seoul to Dubai with table-side grilling, premium cuts, banchan spreads, and seafood specialties—all in a vibrant setting that works for date nights, post-work feasts, and big group celebrations.

Value that wins weekends. With packages starting from 79 AED per head at DWTC, Love Mukbang delivers the kind of generous, all-you-can-eat experience that cafés and bakeries simply can’t compete with for dinner plans.

Late hours, central location. Steps from DWTC Metro, we’re open 11AM–1AM daily, making it easy to rally friends after events, exhibitions, or a City Walk shopping run.

Consistently great service. Mukbang Shows is known across Abu Dhabi and Dubai for friendly, attentive teams who explain the BBQ flow and keep your grill running perfectly—so first-timers feel like pros.
