I brought my mum to Hakkasan for her 60th Birthday on the 27 March. We went for the Pearl set menu - wow! It was absolutely fantastic. Portions were extremely generous and we couldn’t decide what we liked best!Our server(s) were brilliant and very attentive, they helped us select drinks (which I’m thankful for their advice, they were spot on!). The signature desserts were delicious. We had an incredibly special time and it is a no brainer that I would recommend this. I hope to visit again very soon - 10/10 all round

Good service but the food was not the best. Crispy beef was wayyyy too crispy.

Duck two ways and dim sum would definitely be the highlight of Hakkasan food-wise for me. A selection of dishes to share and try a bit of everything is ideal. Cocktails, loud music, and high-end dining.

Really great food and atmosphere. I can't recommend the whole Peking duck enough.Service was disorganized - we couldn't get anyone to take our drink order for over 30 minutes. When we finally got our food order in, the servers walked away before going around to get drink orders and it took another extended period of time to come back and finally take drink orders for the entire table.

Update 2024: Went back. Everything was great as was their understanding generally of lactose intolerance. I’ve updated review to 5 stars. It was awesome.I have updated this review after re-trying a range of relevant competitors to Hakkasan who have evidenced to me that this restaurant is still top of the pack for its price range.Historically Hakkasan has been a flawless experience, however there were some small hicups this time.The food was good to excellent as were the cocktails (in line with previous visits to Hakkasan).They should consider reviewing and improving their reservation/booking system and handling of issues. We had some issues with our reservation which were a bit surprising, however we were seated and it worked itself out.I have a lactose intolerance and staff are not fully trained on the different allergies/intolerances. The confusion between this and a milk/daily allergy caused some issues with ordering dishes even when explained. It may be worthwhile for them to update training on this.In the round the food and general ambience/staff is definitely good enough to put up with the service issues.Update 2024: Went back.

So we went here for my birthday celebration.As stater we had:Crispy beef: was really good really crispy and the sauce was TOP.Duck salad: one is the best dishes I ever had, the duck was crispy and the mandarin on it gave a special flavour and really balancedSlow cooked Ibérico: really good in flavour and the meat was smooth. Maybe was lacking a bit of the original flavour of ibérico pork but was good.Spring rolls: really basic nothing from the other world.MAINS:CHICKEN SATAY: just love it. The skiing was crispy and the sauce the best I ever hadWAGYU SIRLOIN: was a little bit lacking in flavour and tbh I the kind of meat that would be better presented in a hot stone. But at the end was goodSilver cod: not even close to my expectation as the sauce didn’t match with the fish. From my personal opinion.Noodles: suuuper tasty and really good, can’t fail ordering it.Broccoli: for being a vegetable is a little bit expensive l, had good flavour.DESSERT:The chocolate bomb: was really simple nothing super amazing. I had lot of expectation in the dessert but was really basic.Wine:Gewürztraminer, Alsace: is a really fruity wine, long lasting flavour but as most people would say is sweet. But really good it matches perfectly with the kind of food we had.Service wise, I was expecting much more, there was a completely lack of engagement with our waiter, I can understand they could be tired but at the end work in hospitality is like being in a theatre, you need to smile and give your best. The check back was done after we finished the starter, so that means it wasn’t really focused on the service, as I check most of the tables next to us were on desserts on just chilling after the meal. I returned the silver cod as it wasn’t my cup of tea but needed to call him and trying to get attention.With the sommelier I had a really weird feeling as I asked for a fruity wine and she referred to it as a sweet white wine, so I just followed my own knowledge on wine.then any manager came to check on us if everything was fine even though after sending back a dish, no manager came to check on us.Over all:Food wise is really good, it deserves to go just to try,Service wise there is room for improvement, what would you expect for a restaurant as Hakkasan is a service 10/10 but this time I would go for a 5/10.

I’ve been here before five years ago and more recently to the one near Tottenham Court Road. Every time I’ve been the food had been at an exceptional level.I was by myself, I do believe that Hakkasan is an experience best shared. So you can mmmMMMmmm over the table at each other.I had Wagyu and lobster dim sum. I would’ve gone for the “premium selection” but I’m allergic to scallop and there is scallop in most of the dim sum in that selection. They were devine. The lobster was fresh and plentiful. The wagyu melted in my mouth.I then chose roast duck as my main as I’d been discussing it the day before with a friend. It was delicious. I had steamed rice and oak Choi with it. I ended up dipping my rice into the sauce/broth from the duck.As a portion this was enough to make me pretty full so I didn’t opt for dessert but in the past they’ve been great.Service was attentive and not overwhelming. I was well looked after.If you want more atmosphere then I would suggest going in the evening as opposed to lunch. It’s always busier and the restaurant looks nice with the lights down low in my opinion.It’s kid friendly but it is relatively expensive (albeit good value) so think about that before taking younger children.100% would go again.
I love this place, every time we r there we r being treated very well, food is amazing.I can highly recommend this place to those who like high standards.
