This time, we went to Hakkasan Hanway Place, which is possibly my favourite London restaurant of all time (although The Shed in Notting Hill is a strong contender).
Hakkasan’s Dim Sum Sundays are unusual in that they include enough booze to see you through the whole meal: the £59/head ‘Signature’ option comes top ‘n tailed with two different cocktails and a half bottle of champagne per person.
The dim sum chefs at Hakkasan must be on a par with top patisserie chefs, crafting their ingredients into morsels so beautifully made it (almost) seems like a shame to eat them.
The squid was good, although not as special as the dim sum before it.
Reservations are essential, and you must book between 12-6pm to qualify for the Dim Sum Sunday deal – £58 for everything you see here, or £48 for a less boozy option.

Review: Hakkasan, Hanway Place – The Jam Jar
food drinks menu desserts
Of these thirteen restaurants, Hakkasan, Hanway Place, which opened in 2001, is the original.
The menu is divided into five sections: Character – Hakkasan signatures, Only at Hanway Place, Strength and Grace – classics twisted, Bellinis, (priced from £13.50) and Fruit Blends – soft cocktails (priced from £8).
During our two hours at Hakkasan we tried three different cocktails, from Strength and Grace the the Smoky Negroni (Suntory Hakushu Distiller’s Reserve whisky, Japanese plum sake, Campari, Cocchi Vermouth di Torino and Ardbeg 10 yrs mist), and from the Character menu, both the Hakkatini (Grey Goose L’Orange vodka, Campari, Grand Marnier, apple and orange cream citrate bitters), and the Hakka (Belvedere vodka, Akashi-tai sake, lychee, lime, coconut and passion fruit) (the latter of which, I loved so much I had two!)
On this visit to Hakkasan, we opted for the set menu, which included three courses and a single cocktail from a limited menu (£38 per person).
I was extremely pleased to see an entirely separate vegetarian menu with four different vegetarian mains to the ‘normal’ menu, along with three different gelatine-free desserts, which is something that is often overlooked by many restaurants.
Hakkasan Hanway Place Restaurant Reviews - London, United ...
Hakkasan Hanway Place is the original restaurant of Hakkasan that opened in 2001 in London.
Designed by famed designer Christian Liaigre, the space embodies the Hakkasan design ethos of the modern ethnic now found in Hakkasan restaurants around the world.
The restaurant is headed by head chef Tong Chee Hwee, who has been with Hakkasan since its inception.
Chef Tong was instrumental in creating the restaurant’s signature dishes like Peking duck with caviar and grilled Wagyu beef with king soy sauce, and introducing them to Hakkasan restaurants worldwide.
In 2003 the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star, which it has retained to this day, continuing to place Hakkasan at the forefront of Chinese cuisine.

A Friday night at Hakkasan sports a little bit more than your average “going for a chinese”.
The menu is peppered with opulent touches: prawn toast is served with foie gras, and Peking duck is topped with Hakkasan special reserve Qiandao caviar – an addition that sounds excessive but is perfectly placed to add salty silkiness to the crack of the skin and the sweetness of the meat.
This is part of what makes Hakkasan quite so fun – ingredients associated with European decadence are treated as ingredients, as part of a dish rather than on a pedestal, their flavour potential explored through an Asian framework.
The foie gras intensifies the nuttiness of the prawn toast's sesame sprinkling, and at Mayfair, buttery soft slices of Wagyu rib eye beef (Japanese, we know) reign supreme, served with a spring onion soya, the meat woven together with golden threads of glistening fat.

With its stylish interior and innovative Cantonese cooking, Hakkasan is still the benchmark against which all high-end Chinese restaurants should be judged.
More than a decade after it started wowing London’s big spenders with its classy Cantonese cooking, this Michelin-starred trendsetter remains a benchmark against which all high-end Chinese restaurants should be judged.
The pastry was perfect in give and texture, just elastic enough to encase generous bites of flavour-packed meat and seafood.
Sweet and sour Duke of Berkshire pork with pomegranate was equally good, the melting tenderness of top-quality meat turning the clichéd staple into a luxury – Chinese takeaways should weep with shame.
The original Hakkasan that spawned a global empire (including a newer branch in Mayfair) retains all its appeal: cool enough to be seen in, yet authentic enough to dash pretension.
