Why we recommend Hakkasan Mayfair in London

We keep Hakkasan Mayfair on the short list of London dining rooms worth a standalone night rather than a squeezed-in pre-club meal. West End or Mayfair dining with Michelin, chef or members-club credentials. Outside Las Vegas, MyRSVP focuses on nightclub and pool-club bookings rather than restaurant reservations, so this page is written as a city guide: the room and its point of view, the menu cues, the practical timing, and the fastest way to reserve your own table. Use it alongside a MyRSVP nightlife or pool booking to stack the full evening.

What to expect in the room and on the menu

Hakkasan Mayfair opened in 2010 as a two-floor subterranean dining destination on Bruton Street in Mayfair, helmed by Executive Head Chef Tong Chee Hwee and holding a Michelin star since 2011. The 200-seat space wraps diners in dark lacquered wood, intricate lattice screens, and moody ambient lighting that creates an intimate, sultry atmosphere across two levels, anchored by an open kitchen and sushi counter on the lower floor and a sleek lounge bar with blue neon accents above. A small outdoor terrace provides rare al fresco respite in the neighborhood. The contemporary Cantonese menu balances tradition with modern technique—signature dishes include the Peking Duck with caviar (carved tableside, £120), Hokkaido scallops, Grilled Wagyu Beef with shiso chimichurri (£28), and refined dim sum like scallop siu mai and truffle chicken dumplings. The Chocolate Sphere dessert (molten ganache cracked tableside, £12) delivers theater alongside flavor. The bar program spans over 400 wine labels, extensive sake, and cocktails like the Hakka—smoky mezcal with lychee, lemon, and chili (£16). Evening energy builds through curated playlists and occasional DJ sets during special events like Lunar New Year, drawing London’s cosmopolitan professionals and food enthusiasts into a refined yet buzzy social scene that stretches from lunch through late service.

Reservations — how to book Hakkasan Mayfair

What we tell guests about Hakkasan Mayfair: it is one of the London rooms worth a standalone evening rather than a squeezed-in pre-dinner. The reservation itself is handled directly with the restaurant — through their own site, OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, or by phone — depending on how they run their book. If you can get into the chef’s counter, bar seats, or a tasting menu slot, those are often the fastest way into the version of the room regulars are actually there for. For private dining or larger-group enquiries, the restaurant’s events or reservations team is the right first call, not a generic booking channel.

Hours, dress, and planning windows

What to know before you visit Hakkasan Mayfair. The room operates on these hours: Daily 12:00 PM – 11:00 PM. On the dress side: Smart; no hoods worn up, no casual sportswear, tracksuits, running shorts, running trainers, hats or flip-flops. Peak demand in London falls around year-round, with Wimbledon fortnight, Royal Ascot, and the Nov–Dec Christmas party season as sharpest peaks, sharpest on Wimbledon fortnight, Royal Ascot — those are the dates the reservation book closes furthest out. If the main dining room is full on your target date, ask the restaurant about chef’s counter, bar seats or a tasting-menu slot; those formats often stay open days after the primary book has gone.
