No matter which Hakkasan you go to, you get the same ambiance, service and great food, and this Hakkasan located in the boulevard of the Emirates towers is no exception. Easy underground parking with almost direct access to the restaurant.
Great bar area, where you can enjoy a drink and some nibbles, perfect for a first date.
Beware however if you're inviting as your bill can easily reach AED 500 per person .
Hakkasan is not your average restaurant, and not for the budget concious, but a great restaurant for those special occasions, and when you feel like indulging and spoiling yourself or a friend.
It was great atmosphere.. staff were very polite and welcoming. Although nice, the food was below my expectation. The position was small. They brought me a steak without forks or knifes !not sure how do u eat that. Also took long time to get the food.
Amazing place to hangout with friends, No light (need your flash light to read the menu). Dim sum are beautiful but big, thick and non tasty. Crispy duck rolls are too big and filling. Wagyu beef is marinated but far too much. And the best for the last : when you order « salt and pepper squid » it comes as deep fried, greasy and chewy
The note is overpriced for what it is !!!!
Won’t go back ! Add more services for dancing places and pool 🎱⚠️⚠️

The restaurant is a happening place with attentive service and good Cantonese fusion food. While not authentic canton cuisine, the fusion and presentation is remarkable.
The staff here is also attentive.
Horrible experience! We had the worst lunch at Hakassan yesterday. The food was horrible and oily and we felt sick afterwards. We ordered the Singapore noodles and the Mongolian beef and I can't begin to describe how bad the food was. The noodles were drenched in oil and had barely any vegetables. The meat was disgusting and tasted so fatty and chewy. We informed the manager of how disappointing the food was to which he responded hope everything else was good "everything else was basically our juices". He didn't apologize or at least ask if we wanted anything else considering that he took the plates almost untouched. We paid 660 dirhams for 2 people which was not worth a single fils. No wonder the place is always empty and is about to close down.
Outdoor ambience is highly recommended. Surprisingly good vegetarian options.
Exceptional food. The flavors of the main ingredients shine through in every dish. The brunch was sufficient to last me the entire day. Quantity was no problem at all and we all know about Hakkasan quality already.
The order was Duck pancakes, followed by honey glazed baby octopus and fried jumbo prawns to begin with.
They were then followed by heavenly dimsums with a variety of sauces on the side.
Main course was sweet and sour chicken with a good portion of rice. And just when we thought the experience couldn't get better, it was time for desserts and man oh man, the wide selection of desserts were to die for. Every single one of them was exquisite.
What a day, what an experience!
In all likelihood, this won't be my only visit to Hakkasan Dubai this year!
Hakkasan encapsulates all that is great about fine dining in Dubai, the two-time Best Chinese Time Out winner is still a benchmark against which most of its city counterparts can be judged. Unsurprisingly, this status comes at a price, one that’s likely to see you pay twice as much for à la carte dishes as you would at its nearest competitor, Royal China. Located at the base of Emirates Towers, the interiors and exteriors are unbeatable. Stylish Chinese lattice designs run throughout the mood-lit dining area and outdoor pavilion, giving this vast space a cosy and authentic feel. As expected, the service is on a par with everything else, forthcoming and professional. Order the ornately prepared Hakka dim sum platter – bursting full of moreish flavours and arguably the best in Dubai. The grilled Wagyu beef with mui choi is just as praiseworthy, a plate of thinly sliced marinated meat that you’ll only be sorry there isn’t more of. More conventional dishes like the Thai curry-style spicy prawn and roasted duck noodles are also outstanding.
Hakkasan is the first place that comes to mind when everyone thinks of authentic Cantonese cuisine in Dubai and I was excited to have the opportunity to visit them for Friday brunch. Not only do they serve Brunch, there are events happening throughout the week, all day every day, from business lunch to set menus at dinner and of course, al a carte.
The there is a wide variety of flavours to select from off the menu and all the dishes are skillfully crafted by one of the 30 chefs that Hakkasan employs. Can't say I was surprised that all the Chefs were Chinese, as that is the only reason that the food tasted the way they did. All the chefs appeared to enjoy their work from what I saw and there were dedicated chefs for each section of the menu and that is all they were responsible for, which allows for them to master their craft. If you understand the kind of work that goes into preparation of certain items on the menu, you will appreciate the works that the chefs did in the kitchen, not only were the food delicious, but tasty and visually appealing as well.
The dishes range from tradition to slight fusion and everything in between. With slightly fusion dishes, the chefs prepare a traditional dish but adds a small spin to it, to tailor to the pallets of the local audience while remaining authentic.
I would recommend going with someone who knows what to order off the Al A Carte menu as there are a number of fantastic dishes. It was a bit of a shame that I saw a few tables eating spring rolls when there are much more exciting things on the menu.
Normally I am not a fan of duck dishes, but I found most of the ones that I had were fabulously seasoned and prepared. Especially the peking duck. The duck skin was crispy and nicely skinned from the meat, the meat itself was still tender and juicy, even 20 minutes after it was served, thats when I had the last piece and it tasted as fresh as the first.
Being a premium outlet, Hakkasan also incorporated a delicacies like truffle and caviar a select number of dishes. These 2 ingredients are not usually found in Cantonese cuisine but were a welcomed addition. The premium brunch menu was quite nice, as it offers all the dishes that one would be considered to be best of the best when it comes to Cantonese dishes, including Abalone, Xiao Long Bao and Foie Gras.
The portion sizes are moderate which allows you to try a number of dishes without overfilling your stomach. It is best to go with a group so you can a large amount of dishes that Hakkasan has to offer. It would be nice to see some Chinese desserts to finish off the meal, as the present choices are catered to the local taste buds.
With a fantastic terrace to enjoy during winter and equally impressive indoor seating, Hakkasan is the place to be year round.
AMBIENCE IS GOOD BUT FOOD QUALITY IS PATHETIC AND ITS HAS ABNORMAL RATES
Excellent food & service. Enjoyed.
Staff just trying to upsell more and more food whilst i am alone to eat. Weird
Service good and food also good but 10 time expensive than its kind of food.
We really enjoyed dining at Hakkasan, their menu offered a nice variety of unique and contemporary Chinese dishes. The meat tasted of high quality, very tender and juicy. They also offer a large variety of dishes made with duck which seem to be a specialty of theirs. The duck tasted great and I definitely recommend you trying one of them.
Would definitely come back the next time I'm in town.
