"When it's right, Chef Tong's flavour-balance is oh-so-good. Go if you want to try on "moneyed", to see how it feels." READ REVIEW

"Although the kitchen might have a way to catch up, there’s enough stupefyingly good food on offer to make HKK A-OK by me." READ REVIEW

"HKK is testament to the potential of Cantonese cooking, the finest of China’s regional cuisines (when executed properly). Just don’t go with an empty stomach or wallet. The portions are tiny; the bill is not." READ REVIEW

"Some of (the chef's) dishes here are very good indeed. That’s not to say that all are sure-fire hits, but the dim sum (a selection of three) are probably as good as you will ever sample." READ REVIEW

"The beef was great – slow cooked, Euro-style, but still springy, Asian-wise, rather than the flaky, disintegrating texture I was primed to expect. It had been cooked in sugar, but was in no way too sweet. It was so exquisite I semi-resolved to cook beef in sugar ever after. I don't know how this is going to go down at home." READ REVIEW

Chinese fine dining at Hakkasan’s new HHK restaura

We had a fantastic evening at HKK, although we were left hungry after the 8 course meal, so definitely go for the 15 course option.
