Hakkasan Mayfair - London

One of the best culinary experiences I’ve ever had. Well deserving of their Michelin star. Service, atmosphere, and of course food were absolutely fantastic. We ordered the Shou package as recommended by the server. They did not skimp on the portions. Best duck I’ve ever had.

Hakkasan promises a lot and although objectively good, fails to hit the standards necessary for a restaurant of this magnitude. Personally I am definitely a big fan of East Asian cuisine and I was very much looking forward to trying out Hakkasan as it would be my first East Asian Michelin starred restaurant. On arrival I was greeted with very friendly staff and a deeply atmospheric facility. The Dim Sum we received was delicious, fresh, and had a level of uniqueness to them. However the same could not be said for the rest of our meal. Although the food was indeed good, it didn’t seem good enough. Comparatively nothing stood out from the food you would receive at other Chinese restaurants with significantly lower price points. Another thing to note would be that the service provided was also quite average and on occasion somewhat callous. In conclusion, there are definitely better options for an enjoyable dinner with similar standards at a much lower price. As it seems going to Hakkasan is less so about the fine dining experience and more so about status and atmosphere

One of the busiest restaurants in London, the place is always busy and have fantastic vibes. The food is so good but you need to know what to order: Crispy Duck Salad: one of the most popular dishes here but we didn’t like it. The taste of the duck is very strong. Not everyone may like it. Dum Sum: must order, chose what you like, I recommend the chicken, and seafood. All selection is delicious and MUST TRY. Salt and Pepper Squid: fantastic dish to share, very soft and tender, very tasty. Must visit…

This is a great place to come for a celebratory dinner! They have a lovely vegan set menu (the chrysanthemum menu) the starters are absolutely amazing. Their dim sum is so delicious. The set menu is for two people and the portion sizes are really good it’s very filling and delicious. The staff are super friendly and give really good recommendations for what drinks will pair well with the food!

Amazing! Super expensive but fabulous dishes. A michelin starred restaurant where the quality of the ingredients and balance of flavours is a delight to eat, along with generous size portions. My only negative is that it is very dark. I will start saving up for my next visit
