Great restaurant with a great service and great tastes. The whole experience was really stunning. I would definitely propose the Dim Sum, the soft shell crab, the crispy duck salad, the Chilean Seabass and for sure the A5 wangu tartar. If the weather permits it I would sit outside. Inside is a bit too dark and the music too loud to my taste. It's not a cheap place but it deserves every single penny.

This was our first Michelin star restaurant experience so we had very high expectations and Hakkasan exceeded our expectations. From the decor to the service to the food, every bit was amazing! As soon as you walk in, your breath is taken by how beautiful the restaurant is, specifically the outdoor section. The service from start to finish was exceptional and did not miss a beat. As soon as the food service began, we felt transformed into a beautiful story by our waiter. The food was fantastic and the presentation was even better. This restaurant definitely deserves their star and their reputation! well done

Cocktails menu is definitely recommended, especially the wild flowers.
We went there for some Chinese foods without knowing that it was located inside one of the most expensive hotel in Abu Dhabi. So the experience was great. At first we thought that we were actually inside of the royal palace even!
The restaurant exceeded our expectations in terms of fresh, delicious foods. Their service is upheld according to Michelin’s 1 star guidelines.

Amazing food, with every bite being better than the last! The staff was very friendly and incredibly attentive. All of this was complemented by a stunning view of the Etihad Towers! It was expensive, but worth every penny. I highly recommend it!

One of the best brunches to start off the weekend, which is on Friday the atmosphere is amazing service up to par. The staff will explain each and one of the dish to the last detail. Your glass will never remain empty. Nice music food has so many flavors. They are beautiful both visually and your taste buds are going on a major food journey. It’s a perfect place. If you wanna impress someone, it can be a guest or a partner. If you would have a celebration I am sure it would be exceptional. And the price is so much worth it. It is aed500+ per person, including unlimited selected drinks. they have some standard cocktails and some special Hakkasan cocktails that are also divine. another great part is that you don’t have to access the main hotel to get to the restaurant but you can drive up to the restaurant with private valet and access the restaurant from the Asian wing of the hotel. A really special place that you should definitely visit. I wish I could give them more than five star and see you guys again very soon.
