Hakkasan

Hakkasan is a Cantonese restaurant originating in London with 12 locations across the world. The restaurant was founded in 2001 by Alan Yau, who was also behind the Wagamama Japanese restaurants and later the Yauatcha restaurant, also in London. It serves modern Cantonese cuisine fused with Western upscale dining experience. Hakkasan, the former flagship brand of the Hakkasan Group, has branched into hospitality and entertainment, including opening a nightclub in Las Vegas.

The Hakkasan Group expanded into multiple restaurants and concepts and by 2020 had operated 61 venues in 22 markets. After the COVID-19 pandemic caused many establishments to close though, Tao Group Hospitality acquired Hakkasan, a transaction facilitated by Tao's then-parent Madison Square Garden Entertainment prior to PokerStars founder Mark Scheinberg purchasing Madison Square Garden's stake in the merged entity.
