The Top 100 Restaurants Near Hakkasan
-
Rank 1. Hakkasan
Cantonese Chinese
You enter through the Fontainebleau's din into a darkened room of marble and carved wood screens, where bass pulses beneath the clatter of plates. Hakkasan pivots between Cantonese tradition—silken dumplings, lacquered duck—and lighter contemporary turns, scallops curried with lily bulb among them.
-
Rank 2. Pao by Paul Qui
Asian
Beneath a gold dome crowned with a Damien Hirst unicorn, Paul Qui's dining room commands the Faena with theatrical grandeur and a short menu that pivots across Asian influences with ease.

Rank 7. Stubborn Seed
Contemporary New American
Chef Jeremy Ford's corner restaurant commands attention with a glass-fronted kitchen and industrial-chic room where Latin and Asian impulses collide across an ambitious tasting menu.

The cooking trades in controlled risk—bold without losing itself.
