"Hakkasan — the splashy Midtown outpost of the international fine dining Cantonese chain — has permanently closed after eight years in the city due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19. The Theater District spot has remained closed since the pandemic-related shutdown in March. It debuted in NYC in 2012 serving up extravagant dishes like Peking duck with kaluga caviar and Japanese abalone with black truffle. The restaurant received mixed reviews but was praised for its dim sum selection." - Luke Fortney

"If this sensual and sophisticated lair doesn’t come to mind when you crave quality Cantonese cooking, it’s high time you added it to the list. Behind its front door lies a long, moodily lit corridor that leads to a massive dining room, which, thanks to cobalt-blue glass, Carrara marble and mirrors, feels intimate despite its size. The equally elegant menu includes such mouthwatering items as the wallet-friendly Hakka fried dim sum platter featuring roast duck-and-pumpkin, crispy prawn, as well as a seafood puff. The roast duck theme continues on, but this time the juicy bird is enhanced with an earthy and fragrant black truffle sauce. Sweet and sour pork tenderloin is yet another decadent surprise that syncs perfectly with the restaurant's luxe tenor." - The MICHELIN Guide

Known for being a deletable Chinese restaurant in London and in multiple locations around the world, Hakkasan brings its great flair to New York! Hakkasan quickly became one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in NYC. It should be at the top of your list if you are seeking sophisticated high-quality Cantonese cooking. Upon entering through the door to the restaurant, a walk down a long hallway transports visitors with a spa-like atmosphere. Eventually leading to an artistically designed maze-like dining area, guests of the restaurant have arrived into the venue of a flavorful culinary experience. The elegant menu features sumptuous items, and there seemingly is no way to make a wrong selection. The staff are well-versed and will charmingly guide customers through the menu. And, the cocktails are known for their unique flair, which perfectly pairs with the food menu. The food, drinks, staff, and decor are all excellent here -- 5-stars for each of those categories. Yes, this is a place I will go back to and will do so often.

The food was good, but I think it's a little over-priced despite that. Service was efficient but we found it a bit haughty and cool. I don't like the tight side-by-side seating to be honest - not very intimate. It's trendy and stylish but I think it loses the focus of food - just a bit like an up-market bar with quite dominant music, but doing expensive good food. I suppose it's just trying to be a bit trendy for my liking really

Great service and stunning food. Best food I have had in New York thus far. Choose one of their multi course specials and literally every single course was amazing. Be prepared to spend some money, but it's well worth it. We averaged about 155 per person (with at least one adult beverage).

This place used to be better. I had great memories of the ambience and the food, but now they seem to be gone. Waiters are nice, but rushed. The food isn't bad, but far from memorable, and in no way justifying the michelin-star price. Our table wasn't perfectly clean, we were rushed, had to constantly get up to get our water from the ice bucket because no one would do it for us, one of the chopsticks was so old and used it broke in two while eating, and the experience was overall very underwhelming, and highly costly. Can't recommend it.

Very nice place, tasty dishes (rather on the salty side), lovely decor and professional service. In the final analysis you’re paying top dollar for very well-prepared basic Chinese food. We had the $98 tasting menu for 2 people. Lots of dishes, more than we could eat. Enjoyed everything, just pricey. Second visit 1/2020 also delicious and good service

Spectacular food. The PEKING DUCK is must try. Absolutely gorgeous flavors, crispy skin, juicy meat. . The only reason why i am not giving it 5star is the soup - the chicken hot and sour soup did not have much heat in it. The sourness was perfect but it needed a bit of heat and needed more bits of chicken in it. And the lotus root stir fry needed seasoning. Very bland. The sweet and sour pork was absolutely perfect. Tender juicy pork pieces with cloud ear mushrooms were scrumptious. The crispy cod was a delight. Crunchy skin, soft flaky fish - was perfect. The egg and shallot fried rice was fluffy and eggy. Perfect combination to go with the rest.

Great restaurant, the atmosphere was perfect, great service with personal touch and superb food. We’ve tried many different dishes and each of the dishes was great. It is not expensive - I highly recommend this restaurant! Do not miss it if you are in Manhattan nyc! Thank you guys!

They didn't have a table available but said we could eat at the bar, and it made the experience **so** much better. Our server was friendly, helpful and helped with our choices. His input was the icy on the cake. The duck salad was absolutely delicious (which we shared for 2 people) and had 2 small dishes each - all extremely tasty. Pricing is on the higher side but definitely worth it and expected. Highly recommend - particularly for 2 at as a bar side meal.
