Asian5 has brought the eclectic street food scene of the Far East to the plates of Dubai’s diners. This small cozy eatery offers a no-frills and modern take on Pan-Asian cuisine at incredible prices.
As its name suggests, Asian5 features flavours and delicacies from five countries. Together under one roof, customers can indulge in the rich tastes of Thai, Viet, Chinese, Indonesian and Singaporean cuisines.
In addition to classic staples such as nasi goreng, pad thai and dim sum, a selection of au courant Asian-inspired burgers and salads are also featured on the menu.
Located in Downtown’s Al Murooj, the space features bold, vibrant and modern decor. Spread over two floors, it also has a small entertainment corner filled with books, magazines and board games – A lovely touch! Above all, I was hugely impressed by how immaculately clean the whole place was – Huge kuddos to the restaurant management!
The service deserves my 3Fs: fast, friendly and fabulous!
