The lighting of the restaurant was extremely dark. The food was a little bland for my liking and lacked flavour, I would have expected a little more flavour from a restaurant of this calibre. The service was a little too pushy for my liking there were too many waiters and waitresses serving us and forcing us to order drinks. Without even asking they poured our water in one glass and pushed for us to buy another bottle which we had no choice to do so. This place is extremely expensive so be prepared for a hefty bill at the end of the night go in with low expectations.

Set menu selected at a 60th birthday. The food was exceptional as expected for the price and the service was great. The venison puffs get special mention, they were delicious. The only slight downside was the atmosphere, as the restaurant is underground it’s quite dark.

Honest opinion: TLDR - it’s just not the place for me

Hakkasan Hanway Place is recommended by Michelin, but not recommended by me, as a HKer.

Growing up, I have been eating DimSum for years. Hakkasan’s DimSum is more of a “fusion” of Western & Asian cuisine, which tastes alright, but not traditional & authentic. Thus, why it didn’t appeal to me.

Tea is £4-8 (as of 2023), which is served in one teapot without any tea leaves inside. Personally, the tea tastes quite “watery”, lacking much flavor. Not worth the price for drinking “slightly flavored hot water”.

Below are some dishes we tried + feedback:

Grilled Chilean sea bass in honey (£58) - the sea bass is usually served with sauces still dripping off of it. Yet, the sea bass is rather dry, and there is not enough sauce to give it that extra flavor.

Sweet and sour Dingy dell pork (£32) - no complaints there, pretty well done, would actually recommend

Black truffle roasted duck (£51) - one of my favorites among the rest of the dishes, would recommend

Wok-fried Yorkshire Wagyu beef ho fun noodles (£33) - as someone from HK, I can say that this lacks “wok-hey”, and the beef’s texture is a bit stiff.

Char Siu - this is below average compared to the Char Siu in HK - as the pork is rather lean and the meat is dry. In HK, we usually use a more fatty cut of meat, which gives the Char Siu a more fatty & soft texture. Plus, we serve it with more sauces on the sides, which pairs well with rice.

Tofu claypot (£24) - actually not bad, would recommend

Environment: it seemed more like a club than a YumCha place. The music is loud, and the place is dark. So if you’re genuinely there for traditional YumCha, I don’t think this is a good place.

I’d recommend visiting other YumCha places in Chinatown if you want a more authentic & traditional taste of YumCha for a much cheaper price.

Recommended dishes: Sweet and Sour Dingely dell pork, Black truffle roasted duck, Tofu claypot

I came here with my wife and baby but much to my surprise, there were not really any accommodations for babies for example basic things like there were no baby chairs, changing facilities, etc - slightly disappointing considering the cost of everything but nonetheless the restaurant itself was very nice and clean. The staff were very attentive and looked after us well for the most part but the food was a little bit too bland for my liking, even the 'spicy' options were very quite bland and lacked flavour. Overall, we enjoyed a nice evening out but considering how much we paid for the night, I'm not quite sure I would do it again here for the foreseeable future.

Great dimsum restaurant. The food is beautiful. The dim sum was best of its kind. Main course menu were very westernised and innovative. Thus, if you are looking for traditional high end experience, this is not exactly the right place. This is for more of a new style with international or western twist.
The atmosphere and service is simply five stars. Cocktail and wine selection is also five star.

Truly superb Chinese food. Each dish is fresh and flavorful. Fantastic bar - the Golden Empress is a special and shouldn’t be missed. Beats anything in the US without a doubt. A wonderful experience.

Yesterday (11/10/23) was my first visit to Hakkasan Hanway Place. My Partner I went there for dinner to celebrate our 2nd anniversary.

The staff were warm, professional, attentive and engaging.
The Service was efficient & organised.
The food was delicious on every level and the portions
were surprisingly enough.
The receptionist was welcoming, friendly and professional

I would most definitely be coming back here again to celebrate something special and will recommend for friends and family.

We tried the Taste of Hakkasan menu and it was a great choice. The dim sum is amazing. I'd say order it twice instead of sharing. The salad was okay, but the dim sum was way better.

For the main dishes, we had beef and pork. Both were really good and had a tasty sauce. It was nice to have the real deal that other places try but can't quite get right.

The rice was also great. You get a pot of rice and some asparagus, but I wish there was more rice.

A couple of things to know: the restaurant is in a basement and you have to go down a kind of sketchy alley to find it. At first, I thought we were lost until I saw the menu on the wall. Inside, it's really dark. Each table has a bright light, but the rest is dark. The waiters wear dark clothes and surprised me a couple of times.
