Hakkasan is always on my list when in Miami, this time we were there on a Tuesday night, which is pretty slow, service as always top notch. Definitely recommending boneless ribs, dim sums, crispy coconut shrimp, honey glazed chilean sea bass and dessert.. oh my god their desserts are out of this world !!! just don’t forget if you are parked with your own car and not a guest of the hotel, make sure to validate your parked car ticket, otherwise you will be charged $50+ vs $16
