Description

Glamorous sister to the original in Monte Carlo, this restaurant’s unmistakeable Asian vibe comes courtesy of wood panelling, carvings and a cool red palette, while a resident DJ keeps things jumping until the wee small hours. The menu covers Japan, Thailand and China, so you can start with sushi or dim sum and then head for their signature pad thai or something from the robata grill. Grab some mochi buns from the counter on the way home.

Review summary

MayaBay offers Asian cuisine in Dubai with generally positive feedback. Food quality is highlighted for fresh sushi and sashimi, alongside excellent cocktails, though vegetarian options are limited and isolated complaints about ingredient freshness exist. Service is largely praised for being friendly and professional, with specific staff members noted for their attentiveness, although issues with meal pacing and reservation management have arisen. The ambiance is stylish and vibrant, featuring music and DJ performances. Value perception varies significantly; while many find it worthwhile, others consider the prices excessive relative to the experience. Overall, it suits diners seeking a refined atmosphere and quality drinks, but may not appeal to those strictly budget-conscious or requiring extensive vegetarian choices.
