  • This review is for 4.5 stars. We came to Hakkasan during Restaurant Week 2018. We each had the $50 prix fixe menu with an additional appetizer apiece. We also began with a bourbon (big pour) and a Japanese Old Fashioned (more fruity than boozy, but very strong and tasty). For our meal we began with the hot and sour soup and the duck and foie gras in sesame wrap. The hot and sour soup was just a very high scale, great rendition, but nothing surprising. The sesame roll was fantastic. Soft skin, crispy duck, and though only a tiny spread of foie gras, oh so delectable - a must try appetizer. For our dinner we had the vegetarian and the Hakka dim sum platters. Each was presented in a very instagramy way and each was prepared to perfection in a soft, thin wrap, with tons of meat inside. The veggie platter had a fake duck and chicken that tasted like the real thing, while the Hakka, focusing more on seafood, was fresh and thick and crunchy. Perfect opening dish. For the entree, we had the szechuan sea bass and the rib eye. Sea bass was the real deal. Easy to cut and a real Chinese, upscale dish. The rib eye, as expected, was cooked to a chewy goodness, in a very dippable merlot sauce. The rib eye did come with some unappetizing fried noodle, but given that the fried rice accompanying the meal is fresh as you can get, I didn't worry too much. They also had a chili dipping sauce from the dumpling that was so good and gave just enough kick, that we even kept it to use during our entrees. The carrot cake was unexpectedly good. A Chinese restaurant offering carrot cake was interesting to say the least, but their rendition with a coconut ice cream on the side was very good and a nice palate cleanser to end the meal. Restaurant Week strikes again and Hakkasan did not disappoint. For $50, we would have definitely felt satisfied. Adding on a few appetizers and drinks, we were stuffed. My only complaint was that the dessert, the carrot cake, could not be substituted, although we both got Restaurant Week menus. In the future, I think they should be able to substitute to let the entire table try other dishes if you all order the fixed menu. The place gets quite busy on Friday and Saturday nights, so even with a reservation we had to wait another 15 minutes at the bar. But other than that, fantastic meal all around.
