Trying London's ICONIC Steakhouse in NYC! Hawksmoor Revisited
While NYC is known for its steakhouse culture, London is also a great steak city. New York's rival city across the pond is similar to NYC in many ways, and one way it is similar is London also has a great appreciation for dry-aged beef! The most famous and best steakhouse in London, many say, is Hawksmoor. Hawksmoor in London has since far expanded its original location, with locations all over the UK now. It has found its way to NYC as well, and despite NYC being such a powerhouse for great steaks, many people say Hawksmoor is as good as the best steakhouses in NYC!
We have actually reviewed Hawksmoor before on this channel, First time, we ordered the Hawkmoor rump steak, which was well-priced but it was not impressive. It lacked even sear and was under-seasoned. The famous Hawksmoor sticky toffee pudding was also quite disappointing. However, many of you have since commented and told me that I did not order the right items, and Hawksmoor is actually excellent if you order the right stuff, so this time around we ordered the porterhouse and they even threw in some fries as well!
Is London's best steakhouse really all it's cracked up to be? Or is it overrated hype mostly due to over-glorification of London? We'll find out together!

@uaeats would like you to do Cote, which is hard to get into (but apparently amex platinum's concierge actually can help get reservation). I have not tried it, but its a michelin star korean BBQ place that people describe more as steak house meets korean BBQ. The 68$ butcher's feasst is one of the top recommended meals on r/FoodNYC subreddit.

another great video! I swear for some reason, your videos are addicting! I think because youre a simple humble guy who just reviews not just famous eateries but luxurious dining and expensive steakhouses all for us to one day visit while we try to see if its the worth the budget. No show and fancy editing, but just being yourself who has a passion on visiting restaurants all over the world.

UA, you do a great job. Like your style, keep it up !!
Your spot on review !
I'm a New Yorker and haven't tried Hawksmoor in the city yet, but their London Spitafields restaurant was fantastic. Definitely a cut above most NYC steakhouses and far less expensive. Keep up the great work and looking forward to your review of Hawksmoor in London.

Absolutely correct about anchovies and Caesar salad. Regrettably, most Caesar salads have become a mix of mayo, vinegar and Parmesan.

Great review. WHen are you in London? I am in the UK, and heading to NYC in June, My choice of steakhouise based on your reviews is now either Keanes or Hawksmoor. I did Lugers on my last trip. For Hawksmoor in London, there are many locations in Central London. I think it's a great eatling house, the cocktails are great too.
Nice work! your slowly becomming the Steak guru! like dave on pizza and keith on southern UA GOT BEEF! has a ring to it lol
A restaurant of this caliber serving Caesar in that small bowl is silly, unless it was chopped. Are you really expected to cut it with a knife and fork in that bowl?
Looked fantastic
My girlfriend and I still laugh about when UA said the steak tastes like something you would get at ShopRite.
Wait, l thought after viewing the menu at Spark's we agreed no to sliced steak, but judging your reaction after the first bite..I'll reconsider 😂. Keep up the great work UA!

Good one. I’ve not been back to Hawksmoor for a while.
Great review! I’ve been to this place 4-5 times and the steak never blew me away, solid of course but I wouldn’t put It in my top 5 of steakhouses in NYC, maybe I have been ordering the wrong cut bc I usually go with a ribeye and not a tbone. The dining room itself is my fav in NYC and the service is great so my feelings about this place are mixed.
Rookie move with the pre - sliced steak action. I’d say about twenty percent lost in moisture , heat and flavor.
Congrats on the free fries! On a totally unrelated note, I thought you would be interested to hear that Katz’s Deli & Veselka have teamed up on a limited-time creation: Pastrami Pierogis - I thought this might be up your alley!
Looks good. 👍
The look on your face at 7:33-7 tells us all we need to know 😂😂. Definitely checking this place out!

Even though you've visited before, I think some viewers didn't see you previous video. So, they would probably enjoy seeing a full menu walkthrough, even if you've already done that.
For your London trip, Smiths of Smithfield is pretty legendary and worth a visit.

@uaeats I've been to Hawksmoor lots of times (been to the Seven Dials location in London too). Their best cut is the bone-in rib chop (NON grass-fed version). The porterhouse is good, but not as great as the very best places in NYC in my experience.
you should try the guinea grill
Hey UA you should try Gotham social burger in NYC. Seen a lot of reviews saying it’s the best. Curious to see ur take!

Was there a couple of months ago. The thing with a lot of these newer places is that they put loads of stuff on the burger and it takes away from the taste of the actual burger. Also, they are smashed so only cooked one way. Nice setup just like Hamburger America. Very so-so burger. 2.5/5 for me!
In London try 1. Quality chop house 2. Berners Tavern 3. Mangal 2....have their Cul Yaw chop 4. Manteca

My favourite steakhouse in London is 'The Beast', it's from the same owner as 'Goodman'. Very different experience though. Goodman City (Old Jewry street) is my favourite branch and similar to Hawksmoor. Please also review Smith and Wollensky in London, the NYC one blew me away and the London branch never did.
Min Jiang in London has very good Peking duck. be curious to see your opinion on it. I haven't been since 2019, so things may have changed
Goodmans steakhouse and Blacklock steakhouse in London are amazing, blacklock do a fantastic Sunday roast too
That was interesting UA. Didn’t look that great especially for the price but it was interesting. Looks like a great atmosphere.
UA greetings from Las Vegas 🎲
if you are going to London go to Mountain, it's superb. For Italian go to Bocca di Lupo, also you must go to the St John,
Oh snap bro is coming to london town. Try Goodmam. They tend to be weird with their temperature system. “Med rare minus” is the sweet spot for me.
I hope you go to St John’s when you go to London.
Anchovy Pizza for the win!!
In london i recommend hawksmore goodman gaucho and the guinea grill for steak Also you havr to try a indian over here
UA When can we buy some merch?
You must go back again. Try the bone marrow appetizer and get a chateaubriand steak. That cut is hands down the best.
Anchovies: My Dad's favorite combo was black olive, onion, and anchovy.
I went to one of the London locations, I thought it was really good. Their Caesar salad was great (I didn't get anchovies on it) and it was huge. My brother got a ribeye and said it was really good. I think the bread here is different. The bread at the London one, I think, had a firmer crumb and almost reminded me of a ciabatta. I thought it was very good restaurant bread. They gave you really tiny drinks, though and their ice cream scoop was very small, so some of the stuff was overpriced for what you got. However, I liked the food.
When in London you MUST visit The Cut - 45 Park Lane. The 14oz ribeye with fries and spinach and egg to be tasted to be believed! Wolfgang Puck does it right at this place.
I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to steaks (most are good enough for me), but I do know that I don't like them cut up in the kitchen before being brought to the table. Don't they lose their heat faster if cut into small pieces?
UA, if you haven’t already been to London you should try a place called “Guinea Grill” lesser known than the others but I think it’s the best, see if you can try it 👍
Generally go for 2 sided and a starter with the steak at Hawksmoor. Prices in NYC seems significantly more expensive than London branches.
I think it's actually a good idea to re-review some restaurants from time to time because you can let folks know if they have improved or fallen off.
Another great review, UA, I guess you had no "beef" this time around

UA: I ate at Hawkmoor in London some years ago & at the NYC loction about 5 years ago! To be candid, I was not overly impressed with either location. You know my favorites in NY C are Keens &;Quality mests. In London, for me it's The Quality Steak House.! Don’t forget to order the potato confit😅
Steak looks slightly overcooked. More medium than medium rare.
If you are a steak lover and decide to go fancy steakhouse, these fattier cuts are a no brainer. That rump steak from the first episode looks like an instant regret lol. Actually surprised with the lack of sear on that porter house. Glad it turned out great !
Hawksmoor in London and Manchester were great. Try the bone marrow, goes great with bread. Not super tasty, but the fatty texture is quite an experience, for sharing, may be too much fat for one person as an appetizer.
Went to the one in Seven Dials in London a few years ago and it was so bad we complained, had another steak cooked, and that was 50% fat so they'd chosen that specifically for us, complained again and got it comped. My mate may have mentioned he worked for Google, and it was fortunate he was out with friends. They told us they'd comp a future meal to make it up to us. Went back months later and they ruined that £100+ steak too. Came to the conclusion that they can't cook steak, as they couldn't manage it on 3 occasions, and people are easily pleased by low standards. So pleased that it's now international.
go to dhisoom in london! my fav indian food
Be safe on your trip to the U.K. UA.... Try Chicago style steak sometime (get it undercooked they put it directly on the coals)
Go to Goodmans in London. It is by far the best. There are a few locations

Their steaks are grass finished and my favorite in the city!
Butter jokes, yes please!
Call me a red neck, but I much rather have a well balanced fatty hamburg patty vs an expensive cut of steak.
anchovies on pizza: I guess because they are expensive, places usually don't pile them on. But on the positive side, a little goes a long way, in terms of taste, probably because of the saltiness. I like them.

Yeah!! You don’t ever order a rump steak if you’re trying out a steakhouse for the first time you always order a ribeye or a porter house steak!!
So you like the sirloin side better! You didn't fondle the bread to much this time .. 😂
