HAKKA Chinese Seafood Restaurant

Some of the best Chinese seafood I've ever eaten !!! It was so good. Don't let the looks of the restaurant put u off, its alittle dated and could benefit from a freshen up BUT the staff and food defo makes up for it ! Please take my word for it ! The man who served us as the waiter was also the cook on the night, ive heard this is rather normal on quiet nights, I feel this worked in our favour though as we got to ask questions about different dishes and he could really help recommend dishes and change dishes to suit us ! Sometimes we had to wait a few extra minutes to get a drink as he was cooking our dinner but we didnt mind as it was worth the wait and he was really friendly! We ended up getting a mixed seafood sharing set menu !!! It was so amazingly yummy..... I've never had flavours like it ! The set menu was supposed to come with a seafood chowder but he asked if we like mussels instead, fresh in that morning ! We jumped at the chance and were so happy we did !!! They where stunning, cooked in a blackbean, garlic, ginger and oil mix sauce ! Wow ! Everything else was so nice but these mussels really stuck in my mind !! Oh and the seabass was just as good, I couldn't believe what I was tasting when I had a bit of that, the sauce it was cooked in was stunning I'm 100 % going here again and would love to take some good friends with me. Hope this review has tempted you!! Its got me excited just writing it :-) feel free to click "like" haha

Me and my Wife went in last night for her birthday and what DISAPPOINTMENT it was. We booked a table at 6:45 and when we went in we were waiting for about 5 minutes by the door, then 3 other customers were behind us and the waiter/cheff sat them before us why? After then we got seated and gave us the menu. We were after a mix seafood plate wich is called Hakka Seafood set 38£ per person. We choose a bottle of pinot grigio to drink wich was nice and chilled, after almost 45 minutes I called the waiter/cheff if he could come to take our order? I ask him if they still make the Hakka Seafood and he said No but he could make something similar and we said yes. He said he was going to bring us some tempura calamari and gambas with chilli for our starter we said yes that's fine, and he kept saying no worries i will make something similar to the set Seafood Hakka. After 30 minutes arrived the starters only 1 plate for us to share, so we thought well the mix seafood Hakka must be a big plate. By the time we finish with our starter until he came to clear our table and to bring the main course we wait at least 1 hour and 30 minutes if not more. Finally he came with our main course, no seafood but he brought only one piece of black cod, small tray of scalops, 1 bowl of sticky rice and 1 tray of vegetables, we ate it because we were very hungry, and also was my wife's birthday. By the time we were eating our main course we thought about dessert. But then my wife said I'm not gonna order any dessert or other wise we will wait another hour or more for it. We booked some cinema tickets at 22:15 glad we book for that late. After we ate it we ask for the bill and he came to our table saying he has no paper for the bill, so he decided all together will be 120£. My wife just said just pay for it I Don't want any problems on my birthday. I SAID SERIOUSLY 120£ FOR 1 BOTTLE OF PINOT GRIGIO, 1 STARTER AND 1 MAIN COURSE?? SO IF GO THERE BE PREPARED TO WAI LONG TIME YOU EAT WHAT HE WANTS AND BE PREPARED FOR AN EXPENSIVE MEAL

Unbelievable seafood, which is reflected in the high prices. Well worth to try the lobster or the black cod at least once in your life! No point ordering side dishes or rice as they will have a large markup and the only reason to come is to try the fresh seafood.

High price but not high quality of food and service. There was only one person running the whole restaurant(the waiter, the cook, the cashier). And only half of the lights were turned on. The whole table needed to share one menu which is printed on a A4 paper. And the quality of food is really really bad.

The best food in Cambridge full stop. Wagu steak and black cod are amazing! Any seafood you want is fresh on the day! Just ring and book.

The best Chinese we've ever had! The crispy chilli prawn and Mongolian lamb pancakes to start were sensational, followed by sizzling Cantonese beef and kung pao prawns with egg fried rice. Absolutely no problem with the owner/chef – he was lovely, though the atmosphere isn't exactly buzzing, but we were there for the food!

Fine dinning in Cambridge is usually either very expansive or just not very good. This place however is a gem! Yes, it is on the pricey side, yet it is worth it for the experience you get to have. We paid about 90£ for what you see in the picture and an entree, there are no desserts in there fyi. Don't miss!

I would give -5 stars if I could. This meal cost us £70 including ridiculous service and tea charge for each person. The food quality wasn't even that good, and you can get the same experience for £20 with more food in a takeaway. The manager/waiter/chef was running the whole place on his own on friday evening (likely no one wants to work there with him!) and luckily we were the first ones there, otherwise there would be a 3hr+ wait before getting any food on the table. We tried to order more food because the portions were small but he refused to take orders because more customers came in. The sign of the restaurant is broken and gone, the manager you can tell is extremely cheap and selfish - not even offering hot water because he says it would crack the glass...what? The restaurant also received a 0 star hygiene rating in food standards agency not surprisingly reported in local newspaper. Due to positive reviews on trip advisor and recommendation from friend a while back, I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt, but never again. Avoid this place like the plague. This place should be closed down based on what I've seen today. Hakka seafood? More like hack your wallet and leave hungry. We had to go to a takeaway next door after the meal.
