Hakkasan

The food was trully delicious, especially the Seabass in black miso. Dim sum however was a bit disappointing and lacked flavour. The place is quite noisy in the evenings,so not the best choice for a romantic dinner. The other inconvenience is that the tables are rather close to each other, so you intimacy is somewhat ruined by people unwillingly able to hear your conversations.

This restaurant is currently my favourite. I find comments like, “2 hour limits being irritating” to be IRRITATING! Why would anyone want to spend over 2 hours in any restaurant? You could not possibly eat for such a period of time unless your stomach(s) is/are (a) bottomless pit(s)! Try to understand, it is a busy place, they want to serve as many people as they can and I think they do so very well. Service is not just good, it is outstanding, the waiters are helpful and ooze class – they know what they are doing, they know what they are talking about and they ALWAYS get you what you actually want. It is dark inside, yes, but your table will be well lit and your food will not only arrive promptly, it will be cooked and presented to a standard of sheer excellence.
Parking is hard to find, though they do a very good Valet service which you are charged a very reasonable £10 for. The location isn't ideal, to be frank, it is located within a one-way labyrinth of narrow roads in the sort of place you'd probably expect to find a rat-infested cafe rather than a top-notch… More

I have been going to Hakkasan for several years and love it's consistency. I know what I like to eat there (Chilean Seabass, Jasmine Smoked Pork Ribs, duck salad, dim sum platter to name a few dishes) and it never fails to deliver. It's always buzzing with chatter, smells good and you get very well looked after. The drinks are also spot on, and my favorite cocktail has always been the Lychee Martini.
The only problem with Hakkasan is the turnover, there is a slight conveyer belt dining feeling going on, with a 2hr sitting and tables packed closely together it can feel a little impersonal. However this a small minus in an army of plusses. The only meal I have had @ Hakkasan that i didn't enjoy was when I was advised to try dishes that i knew I probably wouldn't like, so my advice is stick to what you like, do try something different, but if you don't like the sound of it don't try it because at the prices you want to enjoy every mouhtful!

Expensive but great fun – especially at lunch, when the dark interiors make you feel it's nighttime. The food is excellent, as are the cocktails, and it's easy to get carried away. Stumbling outside into the afternoon sunshine after what feels like a big night out is a curious experience that comes highly recommended.

First went when it opened and thought that it was fantastic. It took Chinese food up several gears and took Chinese into the fashion world. Since then the prices have gone up but it still remains a top destination. Having said that I went the othe day and thought it had gone down as I choose badly but it goes to show you need to choose well. The dishs were too similiar and the waiter did not advise me well.
It also has a superb long bar for a cocktails.
