All staff we encountered were friendly, competent and professional. Peking duck was phenomenal as before. Cocktails were perfectly balanced and sommelier was awesome.

Brought my husband because I enjoyed the last visit and this one was also excellent. The server, Lexie, was friendly, the food and drinks were perfect and the atmosphere is what San Francisco dining should be-beautiful bar in a historic building, great menu, lovely drinks and energetic.

This place is definitely a good spot for the lunch prix-fixe. Just the right amount of food to keep you going for the rest of the afternoon, and it's an all inclusive meal as well.

Food exhibited flavors only to an extent, I’d not order fish. Cocktails are on the sweeter side and not well balanced compared to what you would expect from a top mixology bar.

The Asian female waitress wasn’t great. She kept trying (very annoyingly and persistently) to upsell us more food than we need. Cold personality too.

My reservation was not ready, as I arrived a little before time . And on despite of having several empty tables they sit you at the bar. After one hour been there, they totally forget about our table. I had to complain in order to be seated. Food takes too long to arrive. Just not a good experience at all.

Good ambiance. Food came quickly and it was great! The only slight annoyance was we asked for a corner seat from the beginning, the couple that sat next to us came later, and asked the same thing and they got the corner table. Could be because one of the corner tables just opened up right before but it was just a bit annoying they couldn't accommodate.

Hakkasan lunch might be my favorite meal because: dim sum. Their char siu bao is proof that the world loves you. Also: great lettuce cups.

Shortly after I ate the shrimps with walnuts, I felt sick, with very bad cramps. I didn’t want to say anything as we were celebrating our post parade and birthdays, but I was very sick fir the rest of the night... Please check for contamination in food, particularly shrimps. Thanks!

The food was outstanding and really good. The front door people were amazing. I came in and drop some flower off with the front host and asked if they can present it on the table before we got there they did amazing. Though what killed the experience for my significant others birthday was the service we received from the server Tommy. We read the menu and asked more questions about the menu and he gave an attitude and said we need to read the menu. Kinda wasn’t cool maybe he isn’t having a good day. We ordered our food at the end of the entree we sat there for about 25 min with dirty plates in front of us waiting for our server. Never really showed up until we made some noise and called him over. We ordered desserts when we finished that we again waited 25 min with dirty plates in front of us until he got to us and cleared the plates. Felt like we was forgotten. While watching the ladies next to us got optimal service, table cleared in a reasonable time. The four of us all work the service industry and had some great concerns with the service. But the food was amazing. Just Tommy the server wasn’t.

The food is great and reasonably priced by SF standards. Also beautiful ambience. The service here was a shame - perhaps inexperienced. The waiter wasn’t outright rude but totally inattentive and we had to flag him down using other staff. Even after being told by another waiter that we wanted service, our waiter went to check on another table before coming by. This was hard to watch and not take personally. Although he seemed to do this to other select tables as well because we also saw another party in our area get fed up and leave before ordering out of frustration of being ignored. Hostess and check in staff were warm and friendly so perhaps morale with the wait staff here is just low. Unfortunate as it ruined the dining experience which otherwise was solid.

Delicious! Everything we ordered was lovely—Hakka noodles had a nice taste. The cod, beef, dim sum all very good. Dan Dan noodles were like regular chow mien and not what I expected as it deviated quite a lot from the traditional dish I’ve had in Taiwan so would not order that again for that reason. Cocktails also great. Thank you.

This is the fifth or sixth time that I have eaten at Hakkasan. The food is always excellent, but this time the cost of the lunch for two without alcohol or tip was $176! That was excessive for what we ate. I have recommended the restaurant to many people, but will not do so in the future.
