Smoki Moto welcomes a fresh chapter this March with an expanded menu that celebrates top-quality meats and signature Korean flavours. Whether inside the contemporary dining space or on the breezy terrace with panoramic views of Palm West Beach, guests can enjoy an authentic and interactive dining experience.

At the heart of Smoki Moto’s steakhouse experience is the expanded Butcher’s Shop selection, showcasing expertly sourced premium cuts such as the exquisitely marbled Wagyu T-Bone and the succulent 1KG Wagyu bone-in Ribeye, both hand-selected and prepared in-house. Meat lovers can savor the 7-Hour Shortrib Wang-Galbi Ssam, tender, char-grilled ribs glazed with sweet soy jus and served with lettuce wraps for an unforgettable, hands-on feast. Meanwhile, the Wagyu Soboro Sot Bap, a seasoned beef and egg rice bowl bursting with umami, offers hearty comfort in every bite.

Begin your culinary journey with an array of vibrant starters. Indulge in the Wagyu Neobiani, a tender smashed beef cake with pine nuts and onion Jang sauce, offers a rich, savory bite. Meanwhile, the delicately sliced Korean Beef Tartare (Yukhoe), paired with yukhoe sauce and sweet Korean pear, provides a refined take on a classic dish. Seafood lovers will relish the Salmon Hoe, fresh salmon with onions, chili dadaegi, and a gochujang vinaigrette.

For crispy delights, try the Crispy Perilla Twigim, wagyu beef and vegetable-stuffed perilla leaves served with rose tteok-bokki foam—a perfect blend of crunch and flavor. The Honey Butter Potato Jeon, a shredded potato pancake with chives and sweet honey butter, delivers a satisfying balance of savoury and sweet. The rich honey butter flavour, a popular note in modern Korean cuisine, adds a touch of sweetness that perfectly complements the crispy, golden potato layers.

Smoki Moto’s signature bibimbaps offer an enticing mix of textures and ingredients. The beef-forward Yukhoe Bibimbap features Korean-style raw wagyu tartare with crispy rice, while the Classic Bibimbap, with fresh vegetables, and the spicy, kimchi-laden Wooji Kimchi Bibimbap offer comforting, familiar flavors.

For those craving noodles, the handmade Potato Sujebi, with hand-pulled short noodles in a perilla and dashi broth, delivers warmth and texture. The refreshing Mul-Bibim, with gochujang broth, cucumber, and white kimchi, provides a vibrant cold option, while the Ganjang Bibim, with noodles dressed in soy sauce, perilla oil, and green onions, offers a lighter, flavor-packed twist.

Savour the Clam Soon Dubu Jjigae, a rich and aromatic Korean soft tofu stew brimming with clams and layered umami notes. This comforting dish showcases Smoki Moto’s expertise in balancing intricate flavors with delicate textures.

All good things come to an end, but with Smoki Moto’s reimagined dessert menu, diners will have a tough time saying goodbye. Indulge in the refreshing Coco Mango Bingsu, a creamy coconut milk shaved ice topped with luscious mango compote and fresh mint. For a playful twist on tradition, try the Flavoured Korean Tteock, soft, chewy rice cakes infused with sweet flavors. Finally, the decadent Korean Sweet Potato Basque Cheesecake, with creamy cheesecake and a sesame biscuit crumble, offers a rich and satisfying finale.

With an unwavering commitment to premium cuts and culinary craftsmanship, Smoki Moto’s new menu reaffirms its position as Dubai’s ultimate destination for steak and authentic Korean fine dining.
