"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"
