Seen better days, went recently for the first time in a dew years, very disappointed. Poor service, average food and overpriced...there are far better venues for that money.

Average and verpriced, rude staff and feeld tired and out of date. This place isn't the cool place it was 4 years ago. The staff are rude and pretentious and the food and drink are average and way over-priced. The decor doesn't make up for it anymore as it feels tired. The bar is narrow, there's no place to stand and you wonder why you're there while getting pushed and shoved every 30 seconds while sipping on your £15 cocktail. Don't bother.

Overpriced. No added extras .. No mints either. Staff who 'spoke with a standard chain format'. A bottle of whisky is £11,500. A main course is £450.
Fortunately there were cheaper options. I found charging people £11,500 highly unethical. The best bit about the restaurant is the wonderful Birdcage interior design which is the reason why I went. I would go there for a lunch and a drink. Some of the food looked like it was heated up and they got it from 3663 and they didn't cook it. I didn't think it was a friendly place. It had a 'Posh Chain' feel to it. As it was Chinese New Year you would have thought they would have Chinese music. They also had no soya sauce for the tables! It attracted a Western clientele, the Chinese had better sense to go elsewhere!

Over-priced and over-hyped. OK food but hassled off the table after 2 hours ( you no time for coffee you heathens) having spent more than the cost of a long weekend for each of the 7 clients ( I suspect the accountants in charge call us something else - cash cows maybe)

Went to Hakkasan last night with a client and two colleagues - we had a reservation for 19:30 were warned that they would need table back by 21:30.



We arrived early to be greeted by a surly doorman, had a couple of drinks in the bar and then shown to our table. We were shown to a school dining table (for 14 people), which we had not been warned about. We asked to be moved to a conventional table and the staff duly obliged.



We were not slow to order and went with what the waiter recommended, we had 3 bottles of wine between the four of us. Midway through the third bottle of wine we were told we needed to vacate the table in 10 mins (21:30).



We were then told "you don't want a dessert..... do you ?" - "are you going to want a coffee?, and then I'll bring your bill" . The waiters needed lessons in pouring wine, poured from such a height that it splashed, dripped wine and water everywhere, didn't bother filling completely empty glasses after 21:15. At 21:25 we were again told we had to be out by 21:30.

Very fashionable restaurant in London with Dim sum cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is very good, however not all staff is very polite. Don’t forget to try their cocktails! In general it's a good combination.

Yes, it's another style over substance review. Hakkasan is still trying to appear hip 'n' happening by making it difficult to book (We only have one table available at x o'clock) and keeping you waiting at the bar while, We prepare your table. All this notwithstanding that when we arrived the restaurant was almost empty and that all the tables were already available and ready (it was only half full when we left after the meal too).



The food doesn't come close to justifying the hefty price tag, though to be fair it's a cut above most local takeaways. That said, the decor and ambience is classy enough, but Hakkasan is really only for those with enough money not to worry about the cost, those on expenses, or those wishing to make an active demonstration of their financial status.

I was taken to Hakkasan on Friday by my boyfriend as a surprise for my birthday and we had a great evening. Started off with a delicious cocktail and the food was amazing. I would definitely recommend Hakkasan if you want to treat yourself!
