Hakkasan

I first came to Hakkasan back in 2016 — nine years ago — and I’ve been in love with this place ever since. Few restaurants in London have managed to maintain such a consistent level of excellence over time. Every visit feels just as special as the first.

From the moment you step in, the atmosphere envelops you: dim lighting, elegant music, and that signature balance of modern luxury and intimacy that only Hakkasan can create. The service is always refined yet relaxed, perfectly matching the restaurant’s understated sophistication.

The food remains absolutely outstanding. The crispy duck salad, the black truffle roasted duck, and the legendary pipa duck are on another level — perfectly cooked, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The dim sum selection and wagyu beef dishes are equally impressive, with every bite showing precision and artistry.

Over the years, Hakkasan has never lost its magic. It continues to set the standard for contemporary Cantonese cuisine in London — a place where perfection feels effortless. Whether for a celebration or a quiet dinner, it remains one of my all-time favourites.

Simply exceptional — from the duck to the cocktails, everything is top-tier.

Great experience. Tasty food and great vibe. Even if the table wasn’t ready yet we were guided to the bar in a comfortable seating which was probably even better than going directly to our table.
There was a dj playing but it wasn’t too loud and we could have a relaxed chat. Tables are comfortable with plenty of space in between. Service was smooth. Dim sum was really good. Also the duck salad is highly recommended and soft shell crab.
Crowd is typical of Mayfair restaurants.

Great food, lovely service - overall a little loud. Great for business dinners. Ambiance is dark, loud but welcoming. Good for intimate dinners if not for the sound. I come here for the crispy duck salad

We visited Hakkasan two days ago and overall the food is pretty nice for the price. The quality really matches what you’re paying for which is not always guaranteed in London. The dishes were well executed and the flavours were balanced. As an Asian eating Asian cuisine, it’s very easy to tell when something feels authentic, and Hakkasan does a good job in that sense.

Last year we tried Park Chinois~ the vibe there is undeniably great and the atmosphere is beautiful~ but the food itself felt a bit underwhelming for us. Hakkasan, on the other hand, delivered a more consistent experience overall, especially when it comes to flavour and value.

It was a birthday celebration gift and we ordered the emerald range which was all vegetarian.  The food was good given the price you pay however thw service was rushed.  Given the price you pay you expect quality service and ambience however like any other local restuarant they want to fill their seats as many times as they can pretend to offer quality service but maybe not to the standard of Park Chinois.
