China Tang
China Tang Dubai brings classic Cantonese dining, Art Deco glamour, and stunning views together in an elegant private dining setting. Overlooking Marasi Bay Marina, the Dubai Canal, and the Burj Khalifa, the two private dining rooms are designed for intimate celebrations, business dinners, and nights that call for something a little more exclusive. The larger space seats up to 16 around a round table built for shared dining and long conversations, while the smaller room keeps things more intimate with seating for up to 12. Expect mirrored finishes, rich textures, statement lighting, and a customised menu curated by Executive Chef Simon Wu featuring some of the restaurant’s signature Cantonese dishes.

The main private dining room seats up to 20 around a big oak table, with deep green tones and clean wood finishes.

The private dining room on the 51st floor of The Palm Tower seats 14 and feels like a world apart.

It’s a great spot for when you want the buzz of SUSHISAMBA but with your own space.
