The most brilliant thing about the experience was the Dim Sum - we had both the vegetarian and non- vegetarian options and they were superb. My main course of crispy noodles and duck was lovely but my friends' options were not as good. We didn't opt for dessert but chose instead to have drinks in the lounge area.The restaurant is... More

Hakkasan made our trip memorable!!!!! The restaurant is beautiful and the terrace has the best atmosphere. The service is perfect and everyone very polite and courteous. We hate some amazing plates like, Dum sum, pipa duck, sea bass charcoal grilled and couldn't get over these amazing dishes! Can't wait to go back!

My husband and i went to Hakkasan recently and just loved it. Although it was expensive we thought everything was excellent. We ate the golden fried soft shell crab and Spicy prawn and they were both delicious. I could say that Hakkasan is the best high-class modern Chinese restaurant in the world!!!!

I do not drink alcohol but they had a great varierty of lovely non-alcoholic cocktails, I ordered 2 different ones they were amazing. The food was very nice and portions of good size. I suggest you order a few dishes... More

It really IS NOT all it's made out to be. Yes, it's the best Em Palace restaurant and has a very very good wine list. And that's about it. The interior is cool, but too loud, tables jammed in too close together, giving the whole place more of a bistro-like feel than a Michelin starred posh eatery. We were constantly... More

When i phoned to make the reservation, i mentioned it was a special occassion/romance thing. On the night, we were seated outside as requested but surrounded by familys with spoilt children. If i knew the birthday cake was going to be a plain tiny chocolate sponge with whatever was on the side (We didn't bother finding out) i wouldn't have... More

I liked the decor, make sure you get the waitress to explain the dishes, or you may be disappointed, I didn't so I was disappointed with one particular dish. The rest of it was fabulous.

A bit disapointed in comparison to all the good critics I read before! There are so many... More

I really don't know why this restaurant is number 2 in Abu Dhabi. Obviously other people are more impressed by this place than me. I have eaten here a number of times and always thought is was overpriced and rather average food. The bar looks amazing and the whole setting is very cool and bling, especially if you get a... More
