HAKKA Chinese Seafood Restaurant

Me and my Wife went in last night for her birthday and what DISAPPOINTMENT it was. We booked a table at 6:45 and when we went in we were waiting for about 5 minutes by the door, then 3 other customers were behind us and the waiter/cheff sat them before us why? After then we got seated and gave us the menu. We were after a mix seafood plate wich is called Hakka Seafood set 38£ per person. We choose a bottle of pinot grigio to drink wich was nice and chilled, after almost 45 minutes I called the waiter/cheff if he could come to take our order? I ask him if they still make the Hakka Seafood and he said No but he could make something similar and we said yes. He said he was going to bring us some tempura calamari and gambas with chilli for our starter we said yes that's fine, and he kept saying no worries i will make something similar to the set Seafood Hakka. After 30 minutes arrived the starters only 1 plate for us to share, so we thought well the mix seafood Hakka must be a big plate. By the time we finish with our starter until he came to clear our table and to bring the main course we wait at least 1 hour and 30 minutes if not more. Finally he came with our main course, no seafood but he brought only one piece of black cod, small tray of scalops, 1 bowl of sticky rice and 1 tray of vegetables, we ate it because we were very hungry, and also was my wife's birthday. By the time we were eating our main course we thought about dessert. But then my wife said I'm not gonna order any dessert or other wise we will wait another hour or more for it. We booked some cinema tickets at 22:15 glad we book for that late. After we ate it we ask for the bill and he came to our table saying he has no paper for the bill, so he decided all together will be 120£. My wife just said just pay for it I Don't want any problems on my birthday. I SAID SERIOUSLY 120£ FOR 1 BOTTLE OF PINOT GRIGIO, 1 STARTER AND 1 MAIN COURSE?? SO IF GO THERE BE PREPARED TO WAI LONG TIME YOU EAT WHAT HE WANTS AND BE PREPARED FOR AN EXPENSIVE MEAL

Would give 0 stars if I could. Booked a table for Mother’s Day and the restaurant confirmed via email. We came from London to visit my mum for Mother’s Day and upon arriving at the restaurant, we find it closed. I call the owner and the owner said he closed up because he didn’t think we were coming… we were only 5 minutes past the booking time. I said couldn’t you have atleast called to confirm. He said he didn’t have a way to contact me (a lie since he had my email). His reasons for closing up were to save electricity because the cost of living crisis is expensive like his customers aren’t paying to travel to the restaurant.. Would not recommend at all. The worst service I’ve ever had and it was less than a handful of interactions.

Reserve a table for 4 for the family. Best seafood restaurant I have tried in Cambridge and in fact the entire UK based on the number of cities I had been so far (>10). Authentic Asian flavour seafood for those who love Asian food and for those who like spicy food. The seafood was fresh and nicely cooked with the perfect tender and taste. The chef / owner is friendly and kind. Having been a chef at a 5-star hotel previously means that he knows what it takes to cook a delicious seafood dish. Prawns, scallops, soft shell crab, mussels and squids can be cooked in different ways at your liking and they are all wonderfully cooked. What a hidden jewel in a not so visible street. Highly recommended! Book in advance to avoid disappointment as the seafood needs to be purchased by the chef on the day to ensure its freshness and quality! Thank you, Mr Chong, for an enjoyable dinner!

Some of the best Chinese seafood I've ever eaten !!! It was so good. Don't let the looks of the restaurant put u off, its alittle dated and could benefit from a freshen up BUT the staff and food defo makes up for it ! Please take my word for it ! The man who served us as the waiter was also the cook on the night, ive heard this is rather normal on quiet nights, I feel this worked in our favour though as we got to ask questions about different dishes and he could really help recommend dishes and change dishes to suit us ! Sometimes we had to wait a few extra minutes to get a drink as he was cooking our dinner but we didnt mind as it was worth the wait and he was really friendly! We ended up getting a mixed seafood sharing set menu !!! It was so amazingly yummy..... I've never had flavours like it ! The set menu was supposed to come with a seafood chowder but he asked if we like mussels instead, fresh in that morning ! We jumped at the chance and were so happy we did !!! They where stunning, cooked in a blackbean, garlic, ginger and oil mix sauce ! Wow ! Everything else was so nice but these mussels really stuck in my mind !! Oh and the seabass was just as good, I couldn't believe what I was tasting when I had a bit of that, the sauce it was cooked in was stunning I'm 100 % going here again and would love to take some good friends with me. Hope this review has tempted you!! Its got me excited just writing it :-) feel free to click "like" haha

The best food in Cambridge full stop. Wagu steak and black cod are amazing! Any seafood you want is fresh on the day! Just ring and book.
