Guide Review - Hakkasan Restaurant Review

Food
Dining is in 2 hourly slots, so I would definitely recommend arriving on time to ensure you have your full two hours and do not have to rush. The food is too good to rush! The 'Dim Sum' is juicy and delicate, and the 'Chicken in Green Tea' was amazingly tender.

Cocktails
The cocktails are also fantastic. Priced from around £8-£10, there is a large selection to choose from, made by the bar staff who are happy to recommend drinks to you. A couple that I particularly loved were the 'Jasmine Fon Fon' with fresh strawberry & pink grapefruit juice topped with champagne, and also the 'Kumquat Jarvu'. However, I must say all the cocktails I tried were delicious.

Decor
The restaurant is stylishly decorated with dark wood, oriental screens, and atmospheric lighting to create a lovely space to eat and drink.

Price
Drinks and food are expensive with a meal for two with a bottle of wine costing around £100 - £120, but it's worth every penny.
