"This was my first visit to Hakkasan, and I was a bit reluctant to choose it for my solo dinner, because the tasting menus the restaurant offers look amazing but require a party of 2 or more. That was my only disappointment in the experience. Staff was incredibly attentive the entire meal, including the hostess who seated me and provided some initial recommendations, and my server Alfred, who made the meal very enjoyable. The restaurant ambiance is secluded and quiet, which is a nice respite from the casino floors. The food was fantastic, and I would recommend to anyone who is considering booking their table now. I tried shumai (shrimp and pork dumplings), and the roasted Chilean sea bass with a side of green beans. The appetizer came with 4 dumplings, which was more than a single diner needed, but with noting if you'll be visiting with a group. The sea bass was a perfect portion for me, and I still do not know how they were able to roast the fish and get such beautiful color while keeping it incredibly tender. The green beans were my favorite part of the meal. I will for sure be ordering them again when I find myself back here. Lastly, I tried their signature cocktail, the Hakkatini, which was a nice start to the meal. Heavy citrus flavor, but I was glad to switch to a glass of Sauvignon Blanc with my entree. For dessert, I tried the espresso martini, which was delicious. I appreciate espresso martinis that emphasize coffee and vodka, and aren't overly sweet or creamy. This one was perfect. I was a very happy guest through the whole visit!"
