"Hakkasan promises a lot and although objectively good, fails to hit the standards necessary for a restaurant of this magnitude. Personally I am definitely a big fan of East Asian cuisine and I was very much looking forward to trying out Hakkasan as it would be my first East Asian Michelin starred restaurant. On arrival I was greeted with very friendly staff and a deeply atmospheric facility. The Dim Sum we received was delicious, fresh, and had a level of uniqueness to them. However the same could not be said for the rest of our meal. Although the food was indeed good, it didn’t seem good enough. Comparatively nothing stood out from the food you would receive at other Chinese restaurants with significantly lower price points. Another thing to note would be that the service provided was also quite average and on occasion somewhat callous. In conclusion, there are definitely better options for an enjoyable dinner with similar standards at a much lower price. As it seems going to Hakkasan is less so about the fine dining experience and more so about status and atmosphere"

"Hearty and hot Chinese food in central London. This restaurant serves home style dishes from the Sichuan and Hunan regions of China. Judging by how many young Chinese diners it had attracted on a Sunday evening they are onto something. To be fair there are a few items on the menu which may prove a tough sell to those not brought up on China's nose to tail approach to eating. However, for those of a less adventurous nature there are plenty of well executed favourites such as twice cooked pork, Gongbao chicken and deep fried green beans. Staff were friendly and helpful, even offering to arrange referrals to doctors of Chinese medicine, and we heard that they have private rooms...read more"

"I recently revisited this Chinese restaurant in Finnieston before a night out and was not disappointed. The interior may be basic, but the food more than makes up for it. Seeing Chinese students dining in was a good sign and indicated that the food was authentic. I tried the Chicken and Black Bean dish this time, and it was delicious. It seems like they may have a new chef, but the taste was still just as great as I remembered. The portions were generous and filled me up nicely before a few drinks. My friends tried the crispy shredded beef, which was also a large portion. I will definitely be returning soon."

"I love this place almost as much as my boyfriend does! The staff are wonderful and very polite, the atmosphere is relaxed, peaceful, and beautifully decorated, and the food is delicious! You pay a set price of £16-18 (depending on the day of the week) and can order anything off the menu. It's essentially a buffet customized to your preferences, and everything tastes fantastic! This is some of the best Chinese and Thai food I've had in the UK. I would definitely recommend this place and will be returning again and again!"

"The food was not good at all. It all tasted the same. From the curry to the ribs to the satay chicken. Even the salt and pepper prawns were in the same dark brown liquid that was not nice at all and that dish should have been dry. I wasted my money as I had to throw it all away. The soup was the only thing I could eat. The rice looked and tasted as if it was out of a packet, no tasted and the texter was like rubber. I want a refund."

"Me and my flatmates ordered a takeaway from here at 6:10pm, given an ETA of 7:25pm, which we thought was a long time anyway. The order had still not arrived by 8:15pm so we contacted the restaurant and had a cold response telling us that there were no delivery drivers so we needed to wait. The restaurant did not contact us prior to us phoning them and were extremely rude, also telling us the food had been waiting for the driver for half an hour!! We then persisted to ask if the food would be cold when it arrived having it sat out waiting for that amount of time. The just eat order status said it had been delivered at 7:50pm, which was a blatant lie, so just eat could not help us either. After almost 3 hours the food had still not arrived, it wasn’t a large or complicated order either. Once the food actually arrived after almost 3 hours.... It was all cling filmed up, in a clear attempt to keep it warm. Which failed. The food was cold, over cooked and one of my flat mates almost broke a tooth trying to bite into a piece of their chilli beef that had been cooked to death. The chips were half full and the prawn toast indestructible. Overall, the food was appalling, very very disappointed. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!! Rude staff, cold food and extremely poor service."

"Ordered through Uber eats and was given an estimated delivery time. Food still hadn’t arrived half an hour after this time so we called them and they said the food was on its way. Continued to wait for another half an hour and decided to...call again. This time no matter how many times we tried it said “user busy”. Food eventually arrived well over an hour after the stated delivery time and was no longer hot. On eating we discovered that the chicken satay skewers we had ordered were raw"

"I have been a regular at this restaurant for many years. It is open around the clock, making it the perfect spot for those leaving a nearby bar or pub with a craving for a quick meal. The service is fast and friendly, and the food is consistently delicious. A great perk is their 2 for 1 offer on the taste card. In addition to the typical dishes like noodles, aromatic duck, and sweet and sour chicken, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they also offer dim sum, which I thoroughly enjoyed. While most of the dishes were impressive, I was not a fan of the pork and dumplings, as they were tough and lacked flavor. Despite this, I will continue to visit this restaurant, sticking to the dishes I know and love."

"We were seated by the window which was lovely and seen to within minutes but my only remark would be it was very rushed so you never had time to enjoy every course before the next one was out infront of you. Therefore our main course was wasted, although we were offered a take out box. So we would have enjoyed it more if it was not so rushed."

"We ordered from the all-you-can-eat menu, and the food was amazing and a fantastic value for the price. It was my daughter's 30th birthday, and they added a lovely decoration to our table, which was a wonderful gesture."

"To my surprise, many restaurants are closed on Sunday evening in London. Every time I looked up a vegan restaurant on Happy Cow, it turned out it was closed. Since it was late and I was hungry, I had no other option than to select a vegetarian restaurant close by. 1947 Restaurant and Bar is both an Indian and Italian restaurant. The entire menu is vegetarian, however only around 20% is vegan. Many more meals can be made vegan, but so many of them had cheese listed as an ingredient that I didn 't want to run the risk. What if there 's an error in communication between the waitress and the kitchen? Or what if the chef accidentally adds cheese out of habit? I had lots of time to make up my mind, because even though the restaurant was very quiet it took a long time until the waitress came to take my order. I selected vegan biryani because I like biryani and because I 've tried it at so many restaurants that it 's easy to compare. It took a long time for the biryani to be prepared, but then it was served beautifully and smelled divine (as it should be). However, compared to other restaurants it 's a rather simple biryani. It has only one kind of rice (it is often served with both white and yellow rice) and only a few vegetables. There was no tofu, mushroom, potato, no nuts or any protein source. Also, the yoghurt was missing (which is used to extinguish the fire caused by the spices). The portion was generous and the taste was good. Although it was mentioned on the menu, 1947 Restaurant and Bar adds a 12.5% service tax. Why don 't restaurants just increase all prices on the menu instead of giving the customers a nasty surprise at the end?"

"I ordered chicken and Hakka-style pork. The food was served hot and was delicious. The best part was that I received complimentary appetizers, which was a lovely surprise. I’m not quite sure what dishes I’ll try next time. I’m surprised there are so few reviews; there should definitely be more, along with pictures, to help future diners choose their meals."
