Chinois haute cuisine is meant to be enjoyed and experienced in the proper fashion. Let the 4-floor rooftop enclave of rich textures and hues mesmerize you with waves of exotic dishes. The name "Hakkasan" pays homage to the ‘Hakka’ people from the New Territories of Hong Kong while ‘san’ is the respectful Japanese form of address. This same tradition and respect goes into every menu item and how they are each prepared and presented. To complement our wine list, there is a $60 corkage fee (per 750 ML) for two bottles and $120 for any additional bottle (per 750 ML).

• Traditional French • Sunny Isles Beach

Lentrecote Steak-Fries & Famous Sauce Bistro was born from the love me and my wife have always had for this type of food. Every time we would go on a trip we would try to find restaurants with this concept. Not having one around pushed me to start trying different recipes and every wedding anniversary I would make my wife a Lentrecote dinner and every year the sauce got better and better. About a year ago we started selling the sauce and the more we sold it, the more it became apparent that people wanted the restaurant. The rest is not a story its happening now. Our first location located in Sunny Isles Beach is now open!Large Parties call 305.974.0043 so we can accommodate you..

Delicious food and amazing vibes! Chef woo and Moe we’re both absolutely amazing. The chefs tasting menu was delicious. I loved the crispy rice and the sushi rolls and the Benihana Trio that I got from my entrée I can’t wait to go back.

Most of the staff is just lovely, the champagne opening at 6 PM is fun although we wish she had used a microphone so we could've heard every word. Bar is comfortable, not many vegan options sadly, we had to get the sushi roll every time we were there if we were hungry. Bartender Sergei is knowledgeable and knows how to make a good cocktail and modify .
