I forget how much I like the food at Hakkasan.
It's pricey, but they participate in Las Vegas Restaurant Week (RW). So a couple of times a year $80, you can taste some fantastic dishes and get a sense of their menu.
I've been back a few times since discovering them during RW a few years ago and have enjoyed it every time. Hakkasan focuses on familiar dishes done very well and often with a small twist. I'm a creature of habit and always get:
*dim sum
*hot and sour soup with chicken (delicious--I'm always on the hunt for an amazing hot and sour soup--this one is worth the trip to the strip)
*Tofu in a claypot with black bean sauce
I dread driving to the strip to go to a restaurant. Any restaurant. There are only a handful of places that I'd brave the crowds and pay the high mark ups for. If I'm going to make the trip, the establishment has to be worth it. And, for my money, Hakkasan is worth it.
