One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. I recommend going for lunch when the full dim sum menu is available. The seafood dumplings are all amazing; my favorite was the prawn and chinese chives.

Amazing Dim Sum. Loved the Orchid tea. Best steamed pork buns. Really enjoyed the sticky rice with chicken & seafood soup dumpling. Service was uneven, either no one or 5 people waiting on you.

The duck salad was the best duck salad I've ever had. The Pipa duck was simple but one of the best slices of roast duck ever. If you can, get Paul as your server, as he is awesome.

truffle prix fixe for 4. dim sum, duck salad, noodles/scallop, cod, wagyu beef - everything was incredible.

The dim sum are a must, along with the crispy duck salad! Honestly, everything that I tried was very well prepared. In my opinion, a great trendy place with many options to suit anyone.

Hakkasan is a downtown must. It’s a wee bit pricey, but the dim sum and crispy duck salad are worth the G’s, as are their cute savory daikon pastries designed to look like tiny carrots. Read more

Go outside your comfort zone!!! It's so worth it!!! Agree with the crispy duck salad and chocolate orange dessert- both were out of this world. For the dim sum the black pepper is kind of spicy.

It's expensive, but you can dine here reasonably if you pick the right things. Fried rice ($5), Jasmine Smoked Ribs ($18), and a couple vegetable dishes (~$10) was a perfect light dinner for 2.

Food is excellent. I recommend the dumpling platter, beef in merlot sauce and especially the spicy prawns. The tofu & mushroom dish is also fantastic. Finally, the udon noodles with duck!

Trendy, beautiful interior space--don't let the view from the street fool you. $$$, but food and drink list are scrumptious! Good for the experience & people watching when you want to treat yourself.

Chinese gimlet. Dim Sum platter and chicken dumplings to start. Chicken clay pot, spicy shrimp and the pepper beef are pretty bomb!
Tana BabcockApril 25, 2016
The dim sum platter and scallops are insane! Also the dessert dumplings are so worth it. So many components make up and crazy good flavor profile!

This elegant Chinese restaurant on Kearny at Market Street is the place to go for such things as stir-fried mushrooms in lettuce wraps. Read more

This is perfect fusion chinese resto. Love the mee-pok noodle, grilled sea bass and spicy duck. One of the best chinese food in town

Worth coming just for their cocktails. If you like smokey drinks, you must try the Hong Kong Dusk.
David GolanMay 30, 2015
Crispy duck salad is an absolute must. Black sesame and chocolate dumplings was an incredible dessert.
Paul FarrellJuly 8, 2015
Excellent tasting menu, dim sum were divine, incredible pork ribs and beautifully designed dessert.
Luis MezzinaOctober 10, 2013
You can't leave the place without enjoy the crispy duck salad, the dim sum (steem and fried) and the chocolate and blood orange desert.... Are amazing!!!
Ashok LalwaniFebruary 20, 2015

crispy duck salad(a must), steamed dimsum platter, jasmin tea smoked pork rib, fried mee-pok noodle with clam in XO sauce
Vanessa TOctober 29, 2016
Dim sum - albeit expensive - was quite delicious. The drinks are amazing too! Eat at the bar since it takes forever to wait for a table.
Robin FenchelJuly 4, 2014
The fresh Fruit Platter is not only a delight to eat, but their presentation is an amazing work of art
San Francisco MagazineApril 23, 2013
Crystal dumplings are delightful Oompa Loompas—densely packed but delicate, with earthly morels. Chinese chive and shrimp dumplings burst with green onions and shellfish.
Michelle VargasApril 22, 2015
Service is amazing, nice ambiance and the food is incredible! Ask for the fried rice, the pipa duck and the dim sum platter!
Kim ChenJune 7, 2014
Duck salad and crispy quail are excellent for small eats. Truffle noodles are delicious too. Mushroom wrap and spare ribs are decent.
Em CJuly 14, 2013
Orange chocolate was amazing. The presentation was the best I've have ever ever seen hands down no joke.
Thomas LeachAugust 29, 2013
The Cod with the champagne is amazing, as is the halibut. The sweet and sour pork is good but not exceptional but overall experience was very good. Lovely atmosphere.
Grace S.March 29, 2014
Rank order: crispy duck salad, pan-fried vegetarian shanghai dumpling, steamed dim sum platter and green destiny cocktail.
Rajesh MidhaApril 13, 2016
Sea prawn dumplings, grilled sea bass, pea shoots with ginger and two kinds of hot sauce makes a great meal

Delicious drinks! For a sweet martini, try the strawberry basil. The Hakka is a great signature drink.
Lidija RaicevicNovember 13, 2015
Cool place with amazing food. Needs reservation in advance. Bejing duck must try as well as dim sum palett
Mo GOctober 2, 2017
Dim sum , sea bass from the tasting menu were delicious . Go here for dinner .. absolutely better than lunch time .
Foxxy BDecember 30, 2016
Looks & feels like an outdated Vegas club meets cheesy restaurant. Service is very slow but trying. Ribs fall off bone, food is generally quite good. Lychee martinis are good—ask for actual lychees.
Julia ChuDecember 4, 2012
Nice bar + cool cocktail menu + friendly bartenders! Also good fancy dim sum if you are up for something not super traditional :)
Varadh JainMarch 25, 2017
Pear Tart + Chocolate & Black Sesame Dumplings
Maria SeredinaDecember 25, 2015
Get dim sum sampler and crispy duck salad! Silver cod with champagne sauce and deserts seemed rather generic.

Pretty hidden from the street but a great bar for drinks and food. Pork belly and Chinese Mule are highly recommended
Lidija RaicevicJuly 12, 2016
Dim sum excellent. Amazing asian fusion cuisine. One of Favorite restaurants in SF
Mike Ottavi-BrannonAugust 14, 2014
Really terrific service. Shanghai dumplings are pretty solid as well. If they have it, the duck special is fantastic.
MariApril 30, 2018
It’s like a Vegas restaurant in SF. Great food, but perhaps a bit on the pricey side for the value.
Alex BosworthJanuary 12, 2019
Avoid the fried squid, it’s rubbery. Everything is ok, asparagus and lotus root is not bad, overall the food is evocative of the qualities found in a Cheesecake Factory or a PF Chang’s
Ben CoffeeOctober 17, 2014
One of the best. Get the crispy duck salad. All of the cocktails I've tried are great.
LenaSeptember 21, 2014
Amazing wine and cocktail list, they have some gluten free options but not a lot.
Jim A.August 19, 2014
Best restaurant in San Francisco! Ask for the special treatment of waiter Luuk. ;-)
Arturo ImazOctober 3, 2015
Ribs, duck salad, sweet & sour duck, pipa duck
herm pugayNovember 2, 2014
Great atmosphere but prepare to have a good time here especially if it's your birthday!
SoxinlyFebruary 6, 2014
This is truly awesome! My favorite ones are Crispy Duck Salad and PBJ Dessert! Must try!
Rob SandieDecember 30, 2012
Chinese mule and The Hakka are two very unique/awesome drinks. Not too fruity for manly men.
Evangelos MourmourakisJanuary 23, 2014
The Hakkasan Steamed Dim Sum is to die for. Don't add any of the supplied sauces...they're prefect without them!
