All branch details, full menu, and pricing below.
The Muroor Road Abu Dhabi branch of Mukbang Shows is positioned for accessibility — central Abu Dhabi location, street and nearby parking, in a neighbourhood that rewards the journey. Unlike restaurant districts in newer developments where parking is expensive and distance from public transport is assumed, this location can be reached by both drivers and metro users without significant overhead time.
For best korean bbq abu dhabi visits: arrive with 10–15 minutes to spare. Walk-ins are welcome, but weekend evenings fill up — a call ahead to +971-50-158-9433 secures your table and lets the team prepare for your group size. The full menu is available from opening, and the 90-minute session starts from when you’re seated and ready to order.
The moment you’re seated, the banchan arrives — eight small dishes that the kitchen sends without being asked. Kimchi. Pickled radish. Seasoned bean sprouts. Kongnamul. Wilted spinach. Corn. Rolled egg. One rotating seasonal dish. These are restocked throughout the meal at no extra charge. It’s the banchan spread, more than the grill, that tells you immediately whether a Korean BBQ restaurant has thought seriously about what it’s serving.
The grill heats while you order. Every protein arrives raw and marinated — the overnight marinade on the LA Galbi is visible in the deep colour of the beef, and the smell when the first piece hits the grill is immediate and recognisable to anyone who has eaten Korean BBQ before. The staff manage the grill pace, change the grate when needed, and calibrate the heat. You focus on the food and the conversation. The 90-minute session passes faster than you expect.
Beyond the grill, the kitchen menu at Mukbang Shows includes Kimchi Jjigae, Dolsot Bibimbap, Haemul Pajeon, Japchae, Gimbap, and the Haemul Jjim Seafood Boil — a complete Korean restaurant menu, not a limited grill-only offering. Most groups end up ordering from both sides of the menu, which is the intended format. The à la carte structure means you pay for what you order; the AED 60 leftover charge keeps waste down and quality up.
Three tiers. Real prices. No surprises beyond the AED 60 leftover charge:
| Tier | Price per Person | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Daegu | AED 89 | 7 BBQ cuts, 8 banchan side dishes, gimbap, soup & rice |
| Jeju | AED 99 | Everything in Daegu + premium cuts + Korean Fried Chicken |
| Bukchon Hanok | AED 125 | Everything in Jeju + + Seafood Boil |
Minimum 2 persons per table. 90-minute sessions. AED 60 leftover charge. 100% halal. No pork. No alcohol.
For context on value: the Bukchon Hanok tier at AED 129 includes Australian Wagyu and Seafood Boil in a 100% halal restaurant. Comparable quality at non-halal competitors runs AED 200–400+ per head. Mukbang Shows has no real competition on price-to-quality in the halal Korean BBQ category.
