| - As the Duke of Hakkusan SF, it was my duty to visit the Las Vegas store. Meghan H., the lovely GM in San Francisco, kindly introduced me to her colleague, Derek M.
Derek could not have been more welcoming and even arranged my VIP entrance to the Hakkusan Night Club the ending before.
The Las Vegas location is truly on a grand scale. A maze of intimate dinning areas, all with carved see through dark wood panels. The requisite blue lighting cast a hypnoizing hue for each table. The long electric blue bar was equally spectacular with background of cascading lights, further illuminated with bright gold hanging lamps.
Service, of course, is top shelf as to be expected. The staff from the lovely host, to the mixologist, and even the restroom attendant are completely attentive. Derek, the GM, was kind enough to visit with me several times to insure my visit was a five Yelp star experience.
I ordered the simple plates of Shanghai pan-seared pork dumplings, baby bok choy with oyster sauce, and the fried rice.
The rice was outstanding. Consisting of Eggs and scallions mixed with fluffy rice, it was like a letter from Hong Kong. A perfect home style meal.
I indulged a fabulous desert of Carmel passion. A beautiful presentation of passion fruit tapioca, chocolate crémeux, and honey ice cream. Incredible!
Many thanks to my friend, Meghan and to my gracious host, Derek, for another exceptional Hakkasan experience! I visit Las Vegas at least three times a year and aspire to become the Yelp Duke here as well.
