Best Char Kway Teow in Dubai, and very yummy crispy Hong Kong noodles and Curry laksa. Excellent taste, very close to hometown food... this will be my new fave restaurant.
The place is warm and welcoming. Food is a little on the pricy side and with less quantity but the taste is excellent.
We had chilli chicken and egg fried rice along with wine and lime soda.
The chilli chicken was my favorite ; in which they had added roasted cashews.
Good food, like Laksa soup, very nice
Food cook to your taste, polite staff and service
Get very crowded, due to its location some time need to wait for the table, no reservations required
Uma boa opção. Bem confecionado, rápido atendimento. Boa alternativa para almoçar fora de horas. Escolhi uma das sopas que estava óptima. Localização perto do aquário.
Nice food... the place is always crowded and they have very limited sitting capacity...
But it’s worth the wait... they have authentic asian food... loving it !!!
Was at the Atlantis and decided impromptu to dine here.
ordered the green thai curry and veg fried rice as main course and veg and spinach dumplings to start with.
The dumplings were replaced upon request, since they were over steamed. that being said, the green curry was SO good that it made up for the dumplings not being up to the mark and the bubble tea just didnt match the flavors of the food.
The asst. manager, Ramesh did an excellent job at service recovery but offering to replace it with utmost care and desire to serve nothing but the best.
The other staff members and servers too were extremely welcoming, warm, courteous and genuine.
The fried rice was so good, ended up ordering another portion of it, maybe we were just famished.
Overall, a must visit if youre at the Atlantis, and other restaurants seem rather full, unable to accomodate you.
Since it happened to be my younger sister's birthday on the same day, they also served us a caramel rich brownie with nuts and sang and wished her, which was an added touch of friendliness. Believe it or not, not every restaurant does that!
We just loved the food.. Everything was yum yum especially duck gyoza, pad thai, kungpao noodles, boba tea.. Good selection of dishes. We had a vegetarian amongst us and they offered to make one dish meatless. Service was great. Must go if you have a budget in atlantis.

A bit pricey but it gives you that nostalgic asian taste. One of their strengths is Pad Thai though. And the serving is mostly good for two people. Had their Spring Rolls and Sio Mai for appetizers, Roast Duck and Pad Thai for mains and fruits for desserts.
The best Authentic Asian food in Dubai.. try the satay chicken, is incredible like I am eating in my home town!! Always my no 1 choice if wanted Authentic Asian food in Dubai.. follow by the Wok in Grand Hyatt..
Good food and value for money.. Service can be improved, Manager is very helpful.
I suggest Korean BBQ and kimchi chicken fried rice..
but chicken Curry needs improvements and Duck Ramen soup base needs improvements..
not affordable almost the same as other Chinese restaurants but taste need a little adjustments.. but just to get inside Atlantis the Palm this is a good security pass at least to get a stamp also in your valet parking :)
On our visit to the Atlantis we went to Asia Republic. Our order was very simple because we had just returned from the water sports.
We ordered for Egg fried noodle, wasabi prawns and duck noodles. The wasabi prawns were out of the world.
What makes this place even more visible and welcoming is the ambience. The dark wood architecture and the arms reach of the yoghurt and the desert parlour. This place is a total must- visit when someone goes to the Atlantis.
It is so much a hassle that Atlantis does not let people into the hotel without booking. I was meeting friends who were staying at the hotel but I was not allowed inside and so I had to go to the The Avenues side instead. I was early so I decided to get some snacks while I waited. I checked out a few options and decided to go here simply because of a Singaporean noodles which I have not had since leaving Singapore in 2015.
The place was of good size, with open and airy layout. It carried a modern Asian theme with the use of hardwood and Eastern accents. It is located by the entrance to the water-themed park which I suppose is an advantage. The staffs were friendly, though they seemed pre-occupied when I was there. Perhaps there was a big group booking coming that afternoon. Still, service was very efficient with my orders served fast.
I ordered Singapore fried beehoon which was the reason I chose the place. I also asked for Hong Kong egg tarts for dessert. The fried beehoon was good. It was still short of the ones I was used to but it was close enough. The noodle was perfectly cooked with just the right softness. It had good aromatic soy flavor with touches of sweetness and enough heat that left a nice, warm sensation on my mouth with each bite. For the price I paid, I felt the portion was rather small but then I had to consider that the place is in Atlantis and therefore everything comes at a premium. The egg tarts were ok. It was well cooked – the look was perfect and the consistency in texture was there. However, it paled in comparison to its ‘neighbor,’ Macau egg tarts. I don’t think Asia Republic version was even half-way there. If not for this reference, the egg tarts would have been good. I suppose my standard is very high on this.
It was a good meal and a worthwhile way to kill time.
I tried the Hong Kong crispy noodles with seafood. It was an experiment which turned out to be a sumptuous meal.
The presentation, tarse and the service was up to the mark.
Asia Republic- Atlantis, Dubai
Small restaurant but definitely worth the visit. It was a great experience and i am willing to visit again.
Tried this place for the first time since I was at Atlantis. I ordered the Pad Thai with Shirmp and asked to have it made spicy. The food was good and flavorful. The service was friendly and fast. Overall it's a good place to come with family and friends.
Asia RepublicAsia Republic prides itself on offering delicious food in an energetic atmosphere. The rich colours and bold aromas will definitely tick every box.Preparing your meal becomes a performance at Asia Republic as the chefs whip up classic Asian dishes within minutes from its open kitchen.Below are my recommendations: a must try at asia republic atlantis the palm dubai.wasabi prawn:This amazing dish consists of prawns delicately coated in batter, fried, then dipped in wasabi mayo and topped off with a mango salsa, creating a perfect balance of sweetness and spice.
Visited the Asia Republic Restaurant in Atlantis, and i must say- though by the area of it, it's a small restaurant but worth a visit a thousand time.
The restaurant is so cosy and the food is just delightful. Every dish in the restaurant was srumptious. Though wasn't that impressed with their desserts. Maybe they could work on that a little more.
The dishes that i ordered were:
1. Cantonese Roasted Fragrant Duck with Plum Sauce- Succulent flavor infused duck with sweet tangy plum sauce-Soft and pleasant to the tongue and palate. AED- 65dhs
2. Thai Green Curry- Delicious food- Well presented- Quality + Quantity. A Perfect bowl of thai experience.
AED- 55dhs
3. Contonese Kung Po Chicken Noodles- Crispy Asian slippery kind of noodles. Perfectly cooked. AED- 55dhs
4. Fruit Platter: The fruits were sour and little overpriced for the platter. The Mochi ice-cream was also blank and had no flavor at all. AED- 35dhs
5. Sweet and sour chicken with Pineapple- to be honest not a fan of sweet and sour dishes but this one was a must try. Crispy, succulent and appetizing. AED- 55dhs
6. Steamed Custard bun with salted chocolate dipping- Again i found the dessert a little disappointed because it wasn't sweet and it lacked flavor. AED- 35dhs

This place surprised me with the excellent food and service. Its a small place in a very busy hotel yet seems so cozy and quiet. I love the Asian ambience in this place and cant stop recommending it especially if your in the area. The portions might seem so small but they do it for 2-3 persons. Not to mention how fresh their food and quick their service was!
Recommended:
- Vegetable spring rolls (MUST TRY!)
- Vegetable rice (steamed rice)
- Broccoli in Mushroom sauce
- Sweet and Sour chicken
Asia Republic is an Asian restaurant in "The Avenues" a mall in Palm Jumeirah (next to the famous Atlantis Hotel).
I ordered pad Thai noodles with shrimps.
The presentation was very nice and the food was good.
Besides, the staff was friendly and helpful.
In between a hectic day at The Atlantis visiting the aquarium and enjoying the rides at the water park we stopped for a quick bite at Asia Republic.
We ordered 4 servings of the Jade Vegetable Dumplings! Clearly we loved them a lot. These bright green dumplings were steamed well, the cover was translucent and soft to bite into and the filling was really tasty. It was served with a spicy sour vinaigrette which went well with the dumplings.
We also ordered a serving of Steamed Jasmine Rice and Stir Fried Mixed Vegetables With Garlic And Soya which was quite a well balanced meal for us tired and hungry lot.
All in all quite a good experience.
Replicating the ordering system and the communal seating concept from Noodle House, we thought we would grab a quick meal after a dive session.
We started with the Char Siew Bao and ordered 3 mains: Thai Green Curry, Ma Po Tofu and Nasi Goreng.
I couldn’t find any particular fault with the dishes, apart from the fact that they were more greasier than I would've liked. From a taste aspect it was quite delicious and made me wish there was more around.
For vegetarians the Tofu was really nice, and im not the biggest fan of Tofu.
Great little cozy restaurant with a excellent decor and even better food & service. We ordered Indonesian me gorang for late lunch and it was 👍👍👍 although quick I hope to visit them again.
We had the larger than life Kaleidoscope breakfast buffet and were not much into having a heavy lunch. We bumped into the Asia republic and the food was pretty good.
Here is how I would sum it up( check out the pics uploaded)
This is one of the more affordable restaurant options for those who are on budget
The place has a bistro feel to it and is usually always full. Food quantity is humongous per person
The highlight of this place is the excellent service, dedication and not to forget the smiley faces of the staff.
The check-box menu is a very nice touch, were you have to tick the boxes of the meals you want to order. So now you cannot blame the staff for getting your order wrong :)
We ordered the spicy Bang Bang chicken noodles( noodles with spicy chicken mince), funnily did not taste spicy, when we asked for some chilli flakes we were given a thick chilli flavoursome paste which went very well with dish
Don’t wait for any complimentary nachos or prawn cracker, none’s going to come your way
Spicy bang bang chicken noodles: 55 dirhams
Acqua panna water:17aed
When we were told that it's in the food court we were not too happy about it. But when reached there we were properly handled although of the waiting list. Sat ordered lot of food. We were not disappointed not at 1 of them very authentic Asian food from starts to desserts. Staff was very helpful and friendly.
Well done will be back
Almost walked past this place because it was covered up during Ramadan and boy am I glad to have found it. I had two entrees because I had a big lunch buffet before that. Got the wasabi prawns with mango salsa and it was DELICIOUS. The prawns were so fresh and crunchy, wasabi was not too strong and overpowering so it was just a nice combination. Had the Beijing duck pancake after. It was not one of the best, duck was a bit dry but very good portion. Great value if you're looking for an affordable option at the Atlantis, I was very satisfied with my experience and the staffs were friendly.
This tiny bistros style restaurant located on Atlantis the Palm Dubai, got a decent decor, charming staff and good food. The restaurant is very small pricing is good keeping in the mind that its a part of Atlantis hotel.
Excellent service, great food, friendly staff. What more can I ask for? Good idea of taking orders as well. A must try in Atlantis! Will definitely visit here again.

Asian restaurant that serves the best ramen soup noodle that i tasted for years. The peking duck is crunchy and delicious. The place is good and the staff were all nice and accomodating.
Real pan asian... I haven't found better pan asian food anywhere in dubai. 5* and is not that expensive. 700$ for 2 people? Not really
Dubai; It's hard to keep a secret in this town but Atlantis on the Palm has somehow managed to do just that with a new home-grown casual restaurant concept, Asia Republic. Either that or FooDiva's clearly not in the know.
A teeny little joint in the Avenues, a stone's throw from a FooDiva fave TBJ, otherwise known as The Burger Joint. So small it only squeezes in four teeny trestle tables and a mirrored row of bar stool seating with an open plan kitchen and the proverbial hanging roasted ducks - very à la Noodle House but much more intimate. The similarity doesn't end there - tick-your-dish menus showcasing Cantonese, Vietnamese, Singaporean, Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian and Korean cuisine...oh and a no reservations policy.
We, that’s moi and guest, the brains behind soon-to-launch social experience company Lime & Tonic Dubai, were lucky to bag a bench on Saturday evening…Atlantis was heaving with Gulfites on their extended Eid holiday break.
Starting with a trio of dim sum appetisers (AED 30-35 per dish). The char siew bao arrived in a huge kitchen-like steamer with three fluffy BBQ chicken buns. Piercing the candy floss-like bloomer dough with our chopsticks we unearthed chunks of diced chicken oozing with sweet barbeque sauce – sublime and as good as it’s gonna get in Dubai without pork. Meanwhile the siew mai chicken and shrimp steamed rice dumplings were tasty enough sans wow factor though, according to Mr L&T. But the appetiser highlight for us both without a doubt…the crispy duck wontons. FooDiva half expected a spring roll pastry effect but instead deep fried mini pies, sambousek-style, arrived. Scorching hot crisp layers of rich pastry, soft and succulent shredded duck doused in a sweet hoisin sauce – simply moreish.
A brief respite with plenty of Pai mu tan silver white tea to digest…oh and very reasonably priced wine (AED 30-40 per glass) before our mains rocked up (AED 55-65). The black pepper beef whilst juicy and tender (from Atlantis’ Australian cattle farm FooDiva presumes) was a little lukewarm and the portion measly – not quite on a par with Mina Al Salam’s Zheng He’s signature dish – but the accompanying stir-fried kai-lan, Chinese broccoli very similar to broccolini, infused with garlic, was perfectly al dente. The egg fried rice was so healthily light FooDiva could have sworn the kitchen had ditched the frying pan for a steamer. Soft meaty morsels of chicken were swimming away in a delicately flavoured and slightly chilli spiced Thai green curry coconut lime sauce – topped with flakes of crispy light-as-a feather seaweed.
Service was sadly in typical Dubai style a little too attentive not helped by the Chinese waiting staff’s rather poor command of the English lingo, and the lack of an on-site manager. Our order of Cantonese roasted fragrant duck only arrived once we queried its absence just to be told another twenty minutes of prep was required. Oh well good job we were bursting. Anyhow, duck is clearly Asia Republic’s signature as this dish was well worth the wait. Tearing off crispy and slightly salty skin, we nibbled on tender succulent strips of roasted duck dipped in a light plum and sesame sauce. Impeccable and that’s without the help of a pancake.
Tucked away in an unbeknown corner of Atlantis, Asia Republic oozes atmosphere which is hard to come by in such a garish Disney-esque hotel. Whilst the service needs refining, the food overall impressed at an incredibly reasonable price point for a licensed establishment in a high-end hotel – made even more appealing by their annual ENBD summer 25% discount. If you live on the Palm or happen to be in the vicinity, definitely bookmark Asia Republic – otherwise it’s a bit of a trek when plenty of similar options abound around town. Rumour has it deliveries to Palm residents will start soon inshallah. Either way, I doubt it will be a secret for much longer. Here’s to a four out of five FooDiva knife rating.
