Decor is great, Cocktails are yummy but the food is too over priced. If you do go here, have the dim sum platter (approx £10 for 8 pieces) and a cocktail! Do not order side dishes as you probably won't need them but will end up paying a small fortune ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1680.htm Food is good and design is nice. But it is all pretentious fake, designed to make you spend your money. It is not cosy, not inviting. Every table is booked at least twice per evening. Rip-off on a higher level. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1680.htm Went with a group of 4 to try this famous restaurant and was quite disappointed. The positive first: atmosphere is very cool. Trendy with Asian influence. The food was also quite good, but worse than what I had been expecting. The experience was marred when three of us received our main courses and the fourth (getting tofu, which I wouldn't ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1680.htm Our relatives from Hong Kong has specifically asked to go to Hakkasan so they could see what the fuss was about as it was rated the top Chinese restaurant in the world. However they were hugely disappointed. We could only get a booking for 10.15pm and even at that time the restaurant was heaving with people, noisy, cramped and the air ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1680.htm Had dinner at Hakkasan last night and will not be going back. Food was mediocre and service was average – the only ‘above average’ thing was the bill. I was told 6, yes 6 times that I had to leave my table at 9am and whilst debating whether to have pudding or not I was reminded again “if you’re going to have ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1680.htm I am surprised by the recent reviews i have read for hakkasan, i went albeit a few months back for dim sum on a sunday lunch and had a fantastic experience. The dim sum was quite simply some of the best i have had in london or across china. The har gau will live on as the best i have ever eaten along with the char siu puff and jasmine tea ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1680.htm Popped in Sunday lunchtime (01/06) on spec - it was very quiet. Ordered 2 glasses of house red (cheap screw-cap Cab Sauv) at the bar. Was presented with a bill for GBP42 (which we didn't pay, we left the drinks and walked out). http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1680.htm I popped into Hakkasan with my wife late on Saturday night and the atmosphere was still buzzy and hip. We had a short wait for our table at the trendy bar. The service was good - efficient and fast without making you feel rushed and the food was excellent - quick to arrive and of a high quality. I will be placing Hakkasan on to my top 6 in ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1680.htm We, too, were at Hakkasan last night and had a lovely time. Perhaps it was because we'd booked the table for 9pm (actually when my husband rang to make the booking (three weeks ago) and asked for a table at 8.30 the terse voice on the end of the line replied '7 o'clock' without explanation, after a bit of argy-bargy they agreed on 9pm). We ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1680.htm Janice White was rushed out - review of the 16th April. Well so were we. It was an unpleasant way to end a lovely evening. We started our meal at 7 and at 8.40 the waiter was very aggressive saying that we had to order desert as the table was required at 9. If you need your table by 9 the sensible thing would be to tell the customers in ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1680.htm
