The only Chinese restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star, Hakkasan is the brainchild of Wagamama-owner Alan Yau. Catering for lunch and evening meals, Hakkasan serve an extensive variety of eloquently prepared gastronomic Chinese delights such as lobster tail served with sliced orchids and strawberries or scallop shu mai with tobiko. The restaurant itself is decorated with authentic Chinese armouries which all add to that authentic Oriental feel. They now boast their own bar called Ling Ling which offers cocktails and their legendary dim sum.

Best Chinese ever
Took my lady out for a birthday meal.
Dim Sum to start was exceptional as where the Jasmine tea smoked ribs I had. Singapore Roast Chicken & Sha-Cha rib-eye beef where both exceptional. Highly recommended but not a weekly expense!

When you feel like being spoilt...
Cocktails are good. My main meal was not amazing but i think that was due to bad luck that night. Arrived early so the staff let us sit in the bar and then they called us when the table was ready. You have to leave by a certain time, but it was ample enough time for us.
My friend's meal was good. The atmosphere is black and trendy but sometimes its nice to have that vibe in your life. Book in advance, dress fabulously and remember that its going to be an expensive night and you will love it.

Would rather not go back
Not my cup of tea. I thought it was rather over-trumped, try hard and pretentious. I debated whether to give it one star or two.
The food was average and I thought that the noisy bar/ nightclub feel was rather irksome.
Quite amusing for people watching but looking round I realised that it was more curiosity/ horror rather than genuine interest. There were a surprising number of families where it looked like the parents were trying to impress the kids with their trendyness. There were also a suprising number of couples, who mostly seemed more interested in seeing who was looking at them.
I should think that some people would love this place and the surroundings but not me.
I fear I sound a bit like a grumpy old codger.

Cool decor, the food is great and the cocktails superb. But beware the prices; it's best to save this for when you want to impress someone, or you don't have to foot the bill.

One of the best places in London...
... if what you're looking for is somewhere smart, dark, with a very cool interior and perfect ambience that makes great cocktails.
If you're visiting the restaurant which quite good if a bit pricey make sure you book way in advance - especially for a Friday or Saturday night.

Awesome Cocktails
OK. The 5 star rating is for the cocktails. They are, without a doubt the best (other than in Zakudia) that I have had in London. Brilliant.
The food is good but like Sokratis points out both drinks and food are expensive.
Brilliant ambience and decor though and perfect if you're on your way out in the West End. Dress code is ok, no trainers but jeans are alright. If you are just going to be bar you don't need to book in advance, if you want a table I'd recommend it.
Cocktails = Thumbs Up...

Nice and Modern Interior
I think this place is great for special occasions or business dinners, as it is pretty pricey. The place is always busy and fully booked, hence can be crowded. For those of you who like Zuma or Cocoon, you would like this place! The food is very tasty, especially their "dim sum". Also the coctails are highly recommended.

Excellent food - nice bar
I love Hakkasan! The food is delicious and the place very very nice. The bar is nice as well. Not cheap but it also depends on what you order (especially for wines). Excellent for special occasions or to impress a customer.
