The Story
Hakkasan was founded in April 2001 by Alan Yau at Hanway Place in London. Yau, born on the Hong Kong-China border in 1962, is of Hakka descent. The restaurant name is a portmanteau of "Hakka" and the Japanese honorific "-san," reflecting Yau's respect for people of similar heritage. The brand distinguished itself by elevating Chinese cuisine beyond the "Chinatown" stereotype, fusing traditional Cantonese techniques with upscale Western dining aesthetics. Hakkasan Miami opened in 2009 inside the legendary Fontainebleau Miami Beach, the brand's first U.S. location. The brand subsequently expanded globally (now 15+ locations worldwide). The kitchen is led by Chef Hing Fung Matt Chan, who brings over 30 years of expertise rooted in Cantonese and regional Chinese cuisines.
Known for
Modern Cantonese cuisine executed with traditional techniques and the finest ingredients. The menu blends dim sum, wok-fried specialties, and roasted meats with contemporary presentation. Signature dishes frequently cited include Peking duck, silver cod with honey, crispy duck salad, and stir-fried black pepper rib-eye. The wine and sake list is thoughtfully curated to complement the menu. The setting inside the Fontainebleau, one of Miami Beach's most iconic hotels, adds an additional layer of glamour.
Recognition
The original London Hakkasan was one of the first Chinese restaurants in London to earn a Michelin star (2003). Hakkasan Miami is listed in the MICHELIN Guide and is a Forbes Travel Guide Recommended restaurant. Note: the London Michelin star applies to the original location, not directly to Miami, but the brand carries that pedigree globally.

The Vibe
Dark lacquered screens, moody lighting, and precision Cantonese cooking make this the most serious Chinese restaurant in the city. Sunday dim sum brunch packs the room with regulars — the rest of the week belongs to the Peking duck and the Fontainebleau after-crowd.
