Best Asian Restaurants in Palace Station

The crispy duck salad and spikey lemon dessert are definite no-miss items and cannot be eaten anywhere other than Hakkasan. The Hakka basket is also good as well as appealing to the eye. Peking duck and beans were both marvelous. My minor complaints would be the lighting and the noise. It’s too dark to take good pics (but I know I’m there for the food). There is a dj who plays loud music so conversations, even with the wait staff, are near impossible for a hearing impaired person. My hope would be to lower music volume until 10-11pm.

Service: Reservation at 6:00pm. Checked in at 5:45pm. Allowed in at 6:01pm. Receptionists were accommodating. Waiter provided a brief description of dishes when asked. Checked in often. Attentive and patient. Servers described in greater detail the dishes they bring to the table. Food: Miso soup had two thin tofu slices garnished with diced chives. Moderately hot. Sea bass with black bean sauce was homey. Topped with ginger slices and chives. Black bean sauce was great over rice. Black cod with miso was delicate and velvety. Miso glaze was mildly sweet and savory. Black cod melted with every bite. Shrimp with spicy garlic sauce was well-seasoned. Shrimp had a perfect bouncy texture. Cucumber salad with crab had a zesty vinaigrette. Pickled radish wrapped around the crab was a refreshing bite. Cleansed the palate. Vanilla Miso Tart was creamy and delightful. Bento Box: Dark chocolate lava cake had an accompaniment of a variety of berries. A perfect balance of bitter and sweet. Ambience: Warm lighting Moderate chatter R&B/pop music

We dined on Christmas Day @ 10:15 AM. We had reservations so we were seated immediately. The offerings were plentiful and varied....from Asian, Mexican, Italian, Seafood Station, Carving table, omelets. Our server was a bit laggy, we had to flag her down for refills on coffee and water. The ambience is nice if a tad confusing...I had to remember where we were seated. The price was $99 a person....pricey yes but it was the holiday so no whining. Overall it was very enjoyable and they had good Christmas music as the soundtrack.

The Ramen was truly fantastic and lived up to their reputation. Every server was incredibly friendly and made us all feel very welcome. All three different ramens we got were top notch in their own way and I’m looking forward to going back.

We had the pancake wrapped BBQ pork and it was amazing. Something we have never had anywhere else.
