    Every time we visit Miami Hakkasan is the first restaurant that we have a wonderful dinner at. Last night we tried a different dish for us the udon noodles with duck and it was delicious and an old standby that we love, which is the shrimp fried rice and the cocktails as always were amazing. Ken was our server and he did a great job. Will be back many many more times to come

    Our overall experience was very good but the evening started on a singular note because of a nasty comment from our server Alex who mocked the question of one guest of our party. It gave us a sinking feeling right away. Gladly the food was very good, the manager Alejandro very understanding when our bottle of wine was corked and gave us a new one, plus we were not charged for a cocktail that the glass was cracked sharply and we did not see it until we finished the drink. A beautiful evening that could have started on a better note than mocking a guest by telling them that their question about the decor ‘WAS A FIRST’. THANK YOU ALEJANDRO (the manager) FOR SAVING THE EVENING and thank you to the chef and the nice young girl who was attentive to all our needs. CIAO !
