Hakkasan is drop-dead gorgeous, a dusky Oriental lair of dining alcoves seductively lighted by Chinese lanterns and separated by walnut and teak lattice. While Alan Yau's London Hakkasan has earned a Michelin star, many of the dishes here are similar to those found at any other Chinese joint. Just much better. Among the many standouts on this extensive menu are roast duck breast with mango - the meat bursting with five-spice flavor, the fruit perfectly ripe, a light lemon sauce adeptly cutting the sweet richness; jasmine tea-smoked pork ribs, whose soft, aromatic meat slips off the row of bones like silk kimonos from a chorus line of concubines; and a juicy wedge of silver cod with a seductive champagne and honey sauce. For a light dessert, try ripe berries semi-draped in gelatinous Prosecco, with a melon-drenched quenelle of cantaloupe sorbet on top. A petite pandan leaf soufflé with coconut sorbet is a knockout as well. Starters are priced high (most $12 to $18), and there are a number of expensive entrées involving seafoods and beef, but there is also a sizable menu's worth of main courses ranging from $18 to $30 - expensive for humble Chinese food, but this Chinese food is anything but. Whether our local Hakkasan can ever rise to Michelin status is Mr. Yau's problem; we're just happy to be among the privileged few to get a taste of his Cantonese crowd pleasers.

Superb place, excellent service, high price, and bad food.
Hakkasan is gorgeous, but the food is greatly disappointed!
I heard of that an article about Hakkasan was published in a local Chinese newspaper, and this article recommended Peking duck. According to the United Chinese News of Florida, Peking duck is one of hot sellers in Hakkasan with over 1,000 orders in one month. How could I miss this good opportunity to taste the Chinese famous cuisine. We ordered Peking duck($198), duck salad($25), lamb($48), and Singapore vermicelli($18). The food are egregiously overpriced! However, the food disappointed us. Singapore vermicelli was burnt. Lamb was raw. Duck salad did not come with enough sauce. Peking duck was the worst! It was totally different from the authentic Peking duck in Beijing. They were not worth paying such high prices. I can get the better Peking Duck elsewhere for much less. And our waitress told us they sold seven to eight orders of Peking duck each day. OMG! The article was so exaggerated!! Over 1,000 order a month? A fisherman's tale!

One of the best restaurants in Miami, in my opinion. Very expensive but worth the occasional splurge.
Hakkasan in London is one of the finest Chinese restaurants in the world, which is evidenced by a consistent Michelin-star ranking. Thankfully, the second incarnation, which debuted at the Fontainebleau Hotel in April 2009, has maintained the same standard of excellence in food and service. While the Cantonese cuisine is far more gourmet than your standard lo mein and beef with broccoli fare, fans won't be disappointed by a lack of Americanized dishes.
