Hanu at St. Regis Gardens Brings Korea’s Ultra-Rare Hanwoo Beef to Dubai

By Evangeline Elsa / October 5, 2025

Korean barbecue lovers gather! Hanu Restaurant in Dubai just secured a major culinary status, becoming Dubai’s exclusive ambassador for Hoengseong Hanwoo, Korea’s finest, highly-marbled beef.

How the Hoengseong Hanwoo is different

This ultra-rare, premier beef is celebrated globally for its stunning marbling, tender texture, and rich umami. Hoengseong Hanwoo is raised in the highlands of Gangwon Province, utilising pure water and crisp mountain air that impart a uniquely refined flavour, impossible to replicate elsewhere.

The quality of this coveted beef is impeccable. It is strictly managed by the Hoengseong Livestock Cooperative Federation for traceability and quality, ensuring only the highest grades are selected. Serving this prized ingredient offers diners a genuine melt-in-the-mouth experience, elevating HANU’s offering well above the standard for Korean barbecue.

To celebrate this exclusive import, Chef Moon has crafted an immersive and exquisite tasting experience: the Hanwoo Beef Omakase, affectionately dubbed the “Hanwookase.”

Available starting October 8, the culinary journey begins with Juansang, an elegant introduction featuring small bites that deepen the palate and showcase the versatility of Hanwoo:

Yuksu: A warm Hanwoo beef broth.

Yukhoe: Classic beef tartare, highlighting the beef’s purity.

Crispy Cow (a reimagined Hanwoo dish) and Mushroom Bugogi (Charcoal grill beef), embodying the essence of fire and smoke.

The centrepiece is Meat Me at the Grill, presenting the highest quality Hoengseong Hanwoo 1++ cuts, including striploin, tenderloin, and ribeye. This is complemented by Yangyeom Galbi, tender short ribs marinated in a savoury soy-based sauce, offering a rich, flavorful contrast.

The meal is completed with seasonal Ban Chan, a Scallion salad with gochujang vinaigrette, and a savory Egg Soufflé. Diners can choose from delicious stews with rice, featuring spicy kimchi or Japanese A5 brisket soybean.

The Hanwoo Beef Omakase is exclusively available at HANU for a set menu price of AED 620 per person, with a minimum order of two. As part of the prestigious St. Regis Gardens destination, HANU is a must-visit for hotel guests and UAE residents seeking a truly unique and luxurious dining experience.
