Zheng He’s
An army of 20 clatters pans and fires woks behind the glass of the open kitchen at Zheng He’s, the spectacular contemporary Chinese restaurant known for its fresh, light dim sum and stellar seafood specials (many diners go for the live tank, but others prefer the wasabi prawns with black pepper). The Sino-chic room is gorgeous, with a pagoda-style ceiling and good symmetry. Alas, the hard surfaces mean high decibels, and the location at Madinat Jumeirah means high prices. Score an outside table for romantic views of the water and Burj al-Arab. No children under four years old.

Hukama
A dramatic high-ceilinged dining room, complexion-friendly lighting, sweeping views of Burj Khalifa and wonderful Chinese gourmet fare are all woven together like a fine tapestry at this elegant restaurant. The menu is loaded with such interesting items as wasabi-coated king prawns or foie gras terrine with hawthorne jelly and sugar-cured dates. Alas, the Chinese servers floating about in their silk dresses seem to have been selected primarily for their beauty and not their serving skills.

Duck King
Cap off a couple of hours at Jumeirah Beach Park with a meal at this contempo-chic nosh spot popular with Sinophiles tired of the kung pao school of Chinese cooking. Build a meal from the copious dim sum choices or lock in on the Peking duck, served first in pancakes and then prepared in one of six other ways, all delicious.

China Club
Lunchtime yum cha – especially on Fridays – is a superb deal and big draw at this red-silk fancy dining room that comes across as an aesthetically smart but faded holdover from the Dynasty era. At dinner, the classics are spot-on, including a standout Szechuan-style boiled lamb and a crispy-delicious Peking duck carved and rolled tableside. Private dining rooms, with lazy Susans in the middle of the tables, are ideal for a group.
