hakkasan

went fordimsum. enjoyed the dark-wood screens and decor that create pockets of privacy for diners. the wait staff was typical for the beach, stylish yet mostly absent. absolutely adored thedimsum, which is the best i've had outside of the san fransisco bay area. the deserts were amazing as well, as were the drinks. i really enjoyed the meal, but the experience as a whole left me a bit wanting. like it, don't love it.

one of the greatest restaurant i have ever been... they located in fountainblue hotel so it is perfect for hot dates 😊
i tried pan fried vegetables dumplings 🥟,dimsum, wild mushroom soup, pepper steak, chocolate volcano ... and of course with chardonay... their wine selection is ok.. food and service is great... yes it is pricey for great experience... i definitely recommend this place 👍🏻

we have arrived in miami and after a long flight and a few drinks by the beach, it was time for dinner. for dinner, our choice was hakkasan. to be honest, i've been to hakkasun in the uk, but it was nothing like what i experienced in miami, the food is full of flavour, i just cannot explain the taste. the whole ambience of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful and has a floral scent as soon as you walk in. for starters, we had crispy prawn with mango, which left a fruity juicy taste in my mouth, with a crispy finish.these prawns were more savoury and a had a satay finish, i was not really a fan of these because i prefer more sweet or sour taste. 

and my favourite dish of the night had to be thedimsum platter- 8 little pockets of flavour;
 
2x scallop shumai
2x har gar
2x black crystal rice vegetables
2x crab meat.
 
equally, all thedimsum pieces were nice but my favourite had to be thedimsum topped with caviar style beads. 

for my main, it was between the bahamian lobster or the black pepper tenderloin but eventually gave in and went for the beef, choosing egg fried rice to accompany the beef. i had my beef cooked medium to rare as i like my meat a bit tender and juicy, the beef was very spicy but that is just how i like it! everything was washed down with several glasses of house red wine, which really hit the spot! 
 
one thing i always appreciate bout americans is the customer service and we really gave the best of the best in terms of customer service and would definitely recommend going to hakkasan for dinner. the lightening is dimmed and is a perfect place to go for a date.

it was definitely one of the coolest foodie experiences i have ever taken part in and these chefs were amazing-- whipping out dozens of perfectly formeddimsum in minutes while the rest of us struggled to make one or two. the chefs then steamed it all up and thedimsum was served as a part of a huge chinese feast that we enjoyed for lunch.

another hakka please!. i never understood why it was so difficult to get a table at hakkasan, that is until i experienced the restaurant myself. immediately you sense a vibrant and energetic vibe, trendy, upscale, lively and stylish are the words that first come to mind as you enter. we were greeted and seated by a beautiful hostess with a bright smile.
dark wood furnishings and intricate paneling adorn the dark dining area were booths and tables are available. a great bar area to the side was full of very attractive patrons that looked like they were having the time of they’re lives.
our server, suggested for us to start with one of the signature drinks, the hakka( grey goose vodka, ty-ku sake, coconut, lychee juice and passion fruit) absolutely delicious, but be careful, it sneaks up on you!
we were so excited to finally visit the restaurant that we decided to let the chef choose for us, here are some of the dishes he so kindly shared with us:
-dim sum platter
-crispy duck salad (the best salad i’ve ever had)
-crab and sweet corn soup
-pan-fried eggplant with dried shrimp and soy sauce (this dish was a complete surprise and my favorite of the evening)
-black pepper beef tenderloin
-wok fried yellow tail red snapper in king soya
-warm chocolate fondant for dessert
the service, the ambiance and the food exceeded my expectations that evening. if you think it’s a bit pricey, you might want to consider thedimsum prix fixe menu for $28 per guest or the yum cha prix fixe menu for $45 per guest.
i loved this restaurant so much that i returned for thedimsum brunch. don’t miss out on the hakkasan experience, you’ll love it!

we came fordimsum and it was very good. there were 4 of us and they offer an option for a prefix menu with an assortment of steamed, fried, main dish, and noodle dish to share for 2. we ordered that plus a few additional items. the fried beef puffs were amazing, fro gras dumpling was ok, duck rolls are a must, barbaque platter was very good, char sui pork is very good but small portion, duck pi pa is tasty similar to peking with out the pancakes. this is not your traditional dimsum per say. they are higher priced smaller portions but still very tasty. each item seems to have extra care and time out in rather than ordinary dimsum items. the atmosphere is also very appealing. we will definitely be back looking forward to trying dinner.

good food, even better drinks, but pricey. went with friends to hakkasan during miami spice. on a friday night we could only get a reservation at 7:00. it did become more crowded as the evening went on. interior is nice but if they would have cut the incense, i would have enjoyed it more. despite an initial aromatic turnoff, i did like the styling of the place. started with a round of drinks- the zesty martini, green destiny, strawberry basil martini- all were very tasty and fresh. for dinner, we decided to add to the miami spice menu options (as we were told it was a tasting menu only) and added two appetizers- the wild mushroom lettuce wraps and thedimsum platter. both appetizers were very flavorful and good. we liked it all but the standouts from the miami spice dinner menu were: the honey grilled barbecue pork, the spicy and crispy shrimp dumpling, and the crispy chicken with osmanthus lemon sauce. my favorite of the night however was the dessert- the white chocolate panna cotta with the raspberry sorbet. it was one of the best desserts i have tried in a long time. i sampled the mango dessert but in my opinion the panna cotta is the way to go. i did enjoy the manner in which the food is served- slowly and one or two dishes at a time so each dish can be enjoyed without feeling rushed on to the next course. the one negative was being charged $3 more for a drink than listed on the menu. $3 is not a huge deal but it is still $3- and given drink prices here are high enough as it is...overall the food here is good, and cocktails and desserts were really good. i feel the pricing is a little high (a $7 macchiato??? -but again- everything in miami beach costs more than it should). it is worth trying.

meals like this are rare, where every dish is a winner and no complaints. i may sound like a brown noser (it’s only hoisin don’t worry) but sometimes restaurants just get it right. the miami branch of hakkasan may not have a michelin star of its own, but that doesn’t take away from the amazing cuisine they’re producing nightly. i’m looking forward to returning soon to sample theirdimsum service that they offer at lunchtime on the weekends. lord knows miami is in dire need of it. until next time!

a heavenly chef has landed on the shores of miami beach from the realm of michelin stars and the bright lights of fashion, film, and music. hakkasan miami, located in the chic fontainebleau hotel, is indeed a celestial experience. executive chef ooi soon lok serves opulent cantonese cuisine against a sensual backdrop of chinoiserie design. the teak walls have been artistically carved to allow glimpses of the monied clientele perched at the cobalt blue bar. as you walk into this glamourous oriental labyrinth, each turn reveals a new cove of seduction. we slink into our comfortable turquoise booth, and the lamp dangling over our table uses light and shadow to create a discreet enclave from our neighbors. we ordered their signature cocktail, 'the hakka' to invigorate our impatient palates-an intriguing blend of vodka, kubota sake, lychee juice, lime, coconut and fresh passion fruit. in due time, thedimsum platter ($26) appeared in a basket of glorious little pillows with silken skin and

in due time, thedimsum platter ($26) appeared in a basket of glorious little pillows with silken skin and juicy interiors packing bold and exotic flavours. each tiny piece of sesame prawn, scallop and wild mushroom was readable to the taste buds rather than folded into an indiscriminate whole.

the restaurant itself is sexy overlooking the atlantic ocean with its nouveau asian decor and ultra-glamdimlighting, lending itself to thedimsum menu of light and small portions...
