The Bottom Line

Hakkasan Dubai is an ornate Cantonese restaurant in Palm Jumeirah, known in reviews for carefully presented food, polished service and a dark, lounge-like atmosphere. The strongest ordering clues are the delicate dim sum, Peking duck, black cod and truffle lobster noodles; the cocktail list also gets unusually specific praise, from the smoked Negroni to the balanced Forget Me Not. It works especially well for birthdays, anniversaries and engagements.

Guests describe surprise desserts, handwritten cards and attentive explanations of the menu. There is also a substantial vegan selection, including an eight-piece dim sum platter and tofu, aubergine and mushroom claypot, while families have reported thoughtful touches such as a high chair and kid-friendly cutlery. The mood is not universally comfortable.

Several reviews call the restaurant very dark, and one diner reported smoke drifting from the bar, loud club music and tables packed closely together. If conversation matters, check the evening atmosphere before booking. Portions can be generous too: one Dragon set menu for two was considered enough for three.

Prices are firmly high-end. Historical reviews mention a Pearl Menu at 698aed per person, caviar at 400aed for 30g and Champagne at 750aed, so confirm current pricing before committing.
