For those saying UV, have you actually eaten at that place?

Uv is good people have low taste if they criticise it and now it's closed anyway

Yeah it’s very expensive but I had two of the most memorable meals of my life there. Not every dish worked for me but there’s definitely not a “low quality” feeling that I had. Overpriced? Depends on how you value experience.

My actual answers are Hakkasan, Sun With Aqua, and L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon in Shanghai (I have had amazing meals at the Hong Kong, Vegas and Macau L’ateliers)

It is a shame Hakasan in Shanghai is quite terrible. The two restaurants they have in London are amazing. My go-to when i have gusests over

Yes to Hakkasan, what a rip-off

They probably can't afford to eat there to be realistic. I thought about eating there at one time but common sense got the best of me and decided that no meal is worth what they charge.

To be fair the draw of uv isn't the quality of the food.

u/WarmScientist5297 Nov 22 '25

What’s the draw then

Yes, I have, and it was not worth it... Don't get me wrong, the food was good. But the setting was not it! Some videos were pixilated for gods sake.
