GREAT PLACE, IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO ORDER
Posh, swanky, and elegant are words that come to mind when I think of Hakkasan. It's a good date place because it has a lively, yet chic atmosphere. Portions are small so you would need to order a lot for a big group to share. Not a place to go cheap or you'll be hungry. I've been here many times and service is always elegant and attentive. After trying many dishes, I think the one's below are worth the extra money because they're unique to this restaurant and very tasty. Other dishes are good but don't stand out to me as something I would spend more money on. Regardless of what you order, you will enjoy a vibrant and trendy ambiance with good service. A peaceful relaxing time for lunch and an upscale lounge feel for dinner. They also have a high-quality bar with an extensive wine and whiskey list along with fresh specialty cocktails. My favorite order is listed below.
