Hakkasan

This place sucks big time, ever since Alan Yau upped and sold it, the standards have dropped the menu has shrunk considerably and the dishes left on it are not at all Chinese!!!! Even as fusion concepts they are awful the flavours dont marry well and they are not cooked well either.

When i went it was so empty and this place used to be heaving.

I dont mind paying good money for good food but for rubbish food no way.

Old flame, but still burning strong.

Some dishes should be avoided, the poussin hot pot for example is very average. Particular for the £20+ price tag. Then again that seems to be the trend in Hong Kong these days - paying over the odds for mediocrity.

Yet, its sometimes the most simple that are the best, Hong Kong style greens and scallop in Yaniku are amazing.

Service impeccable, nowhere can really compete in terms of maintaining standards regardless of crowds, Le Gavroche, Gordon Ramsay and Pied a Terre would crumble under this kind of strain.

And yes, its expensive, but at least I've never been shocked at the bill.

Go Hakkasan. Again and again.

Hakkasan is a fun place but for me it is overrated. The food is nice but not superb and for ~75£ per head (with only one cocktail) a Chinese restaurant should be amazing. My feeling is that they play quite a lot with their reputation and looks and don't really make a huge effort to ensure you are going to go back. I would recommend trying it once but I am not likely to go again (not on my own initiative).

Hidden away in the back streets of London is the best chinese I have ever been to. I was treated to a meal at Hakkasan by my boyfriend and the evening was just amazing. The staff were welcoming and our waiter was fantastic. The cocktails were great but the food really was out of this world. Although quite dark there was a good atmosphere and the evening was just super special from start to finish. I can't wait to go back again.

best chinese ever you cant beat it

ive been to hakkasan around 10 times now for birthdays or just if we fancy a special meal going this month actually... the food is out of this world try the duck pancakes to start yummy yummy.... its very good value for money and what you get is worth every penny its the drinks that bump up the bill but we pay between 50-60 pounds a head with cocktails...

Great food, terrible atmosphere. Very noisy and even when you request one of the quieter tables we got put between two parties of ten. You also hardly have enough time to have a sip of wine before they have filled your glass up and asking if you want another bottle! very unsettling!

the food again was excellent but having to shout over to the person you are with makes it very hard to relax.

The person i went with was not happy at all by the end and could not get out quick enough!
