Ling Ling (Hakkasan) reviews
You can never say that anywhere is "the best" as you would have to try the others first. What I can say is that I had a very nice dinner on Saturday night - the duck was incredible and the dim sum superb. It's a buzzy, lively atmosphere inside and combines a high-class dining experience with a lively bar atmosphere.
by cunninja, 20 Mar 2006You will not find better Chinese food anywhere in the UK. Good cocktails and nice, atmosphere too. If you can't get a table, you can still sit in the bar area and order from the menu.
by A RUSH (2 reviews), 02 Nov 2005This is by far the best place in London to eat, drink and socialise. Love it all the way.
by Oscar "top london reviewer" (18 reviews), 12 Jul 2005Sex In The City is all very well, but even I was quite shocked to find people actually having sex in the toilets at Bling Bling.
by Anonymous, 23 Feb 2005I adore Hakkasan and the bar always feel like part of it, but if you book ahead (and that's the only problem here - getting in) then they serve amazing cocktails in a stunning venue. The bar is long and lined with dark slate - all very sexy. Perfect place to impress a date!
by capital girl "top london reviewer" (59 reviews), 31 Jan 2005Gets overlooked as everybody just talks about the restaurant, but the tropical cocktails here are second to none. The bar is long and narrow so there's not much standing room, but the lounge area on the left as you enter the restaurant is seductive, chilled, and a good choice for cocktails and snacks if you don't feel like eating in the main restaurant.
I've enjoyed it most after eating in the restaurant and asking nicely when we order whether they could find us a decent table to retire to after our meal - they've always seemed happy to oblige, except on the occasional Friday night when every inch of space seemed to be pre-booked.
Have we missed a great bar in London? Let us know.
