Hutong New York

First time dining here was excellent, but the quality of service has really gone down. The food is excellent, but the service is the worst. Repeatedly had to waive the server down for everything. Waited 20+ minutes for drinks. Reservation was at 6:30pm and we left at 9pm simply because the long wait for every single thing.

I went for my birthday (on a Tuesday) and this place did not disappoint. From the entrance to the exit the staff is very attentive or everyone's needs. The plates were picked up promptly and the ambiance overall is dark classy chill. The best part is definitely the food. For our appetizers we had the truffle mushroom bao buns which were shaped like a mushroom so cute and delicious. We also had the vegetable spring rolls which are a must have! For our entrees I had the mapo tofu and the fried rice which pairs together work really well. The mapo tofu is just like what they say, a spicy dish that tastes like your grandma made it. My bf had the Chilean sea bass w noodles and broth he said it was alittle spicy but very flavorful. Lastly we had two desserts the mala (chocolate and fruit flavor) and the bao and soy milk which is another must have ! Would definitely come back just not to be seating at an aisle seat the people walking back and forth was distracting.

Vegetarian options: The truffle bao, the veggie spring rolls and the mapo tofu w fried rice are a must have. The Mapi tofu is spicy, but the rice neutralizes it a bit. The sesame moose for dessert is also a must have you won’t regret it.

Recently Updated: Hutong’s new Northern Dim Sum Tasting Menu and their creative drink selection have once again solidified its status as one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in NYC. The menu, a bold reimagining of traditional dim sum with Northern Chinese flavors, features standout dishes like Wagyu Beef & Black Truffle Siu Mai and Crispy Crab Roe & Caviar Dumpling, each meticulously crafted and bursting with flavor.

Not to be overshadowed, the drinks were equally impressive. Comfortably Numb, with its intriguing mix of vanilla vodka, lychee, honey, lime, Thai chili, and Sichuan peppercorn, was a spicy-sweet revelation. The Sparkling London Essence offered a refreshing peach and jasmine note, while the Kung Po Iced Tea and Dynasty Sour were both uniquely flavorful, enhancing the overall dining experience.

The culmination of the meal with the Bao & Soy dessert, my favorite in NYC. Hutong is a must-visit for anyone passionate about exploring the depths of Chinese cuisine paired with innovative drinks.

Past: The Peking Duck is one of the best in the U.S. My favorite dishes are Kung Po Prawns and Mapo Tofu. The best is the dessert Soy & Bao; I ordered it every time!

When you come here you are mostly paying for the aesthetic. The food was not bad but it was okay. The service I will say is not great. Odd because this is a Michelin restaurant, you’d expect high quality service. One of our waiters was not that good at explaining the menu to us. For example when we ordered broccoli we expected traditional broccoli but it wasn’t. Additionally, the broccoli took forever to come even though it was mentioned to us that it will come with our main food. Also, there was a lot of waiting for the dessert and then they told us it wasn’t available so we settled for something else and they got one item wrong. We never mentioned that part to the waiter because we were just over it. This is one of those restaurants you try once and move on. You get better food and overall experience/customer service at TAO.

Elevated and modern Chinese food. I enjoyed this meal from start to finish. Not only is the location beautiful but the food is good and the service also. Shoutout to out waitress Joanna and bartender Zeddje. The dim, romantic vibe was what we needed for date night. We chose the emperor dinner set and was pleased. These portions are smaller but a fair sample of everything for the price.

Dim Sum (4/5)
Spring Roll (4/5) - Unique texture, fresh and tasty.
Cod Fillet (4/4) Tasty sauce
Kung Po Prawns (4/5) - Spicy & Flavorful
Fried rice (3/5)
Tres Leches (4/5) Interesting spin, nice coconut combination.

We ended up hanging out at the bar and they had some creative cocktails. Our bartender was superb, every staff was extremely attentive. We were there on Friday and they also had a live band playing some of my favorite jazz melodies!! Very impressive. It's pricey here but I'd say it's worth it. I'm coming back for such a classy vibe and top-notch customer service.

I recently celebrated my dad’s birthday at Hutong NYC, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was absolutely phenomenal, with a great variety of dim sum options to choose from. The steamed sea bass was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and the seared scallops with soba noodles were a hit. The atmosphere was stunning—totally Instagram-worthy.

The service was beyond exceptional, with Alma, Jeffrey, and Joffrey making the evening feel extra special. As for the drinks, they were incredible! My dad loved his old fashioned, my sister couldn’t stop raving about her lemon drop, my mom had the best dirty martini she’s ever tasted, and I was blown away by the espresso martini.

We’ll definitely be back—Hutong is a must-visit!

Definitely on the pricier side but for the quality of the food and service you receive it’s worth it. I recommend getting their Emperor Dinner Menu for a set price of $65. Chef’s selection of Dim Sum (1 vegetable and 1 protein), appetizer, main course, and dessert. The staff truly go above and beyond to ensure that your experience is exceptional and every need is tended to.

All the workers were very friendly. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything was very flavorful especially their tiger prawns. The drinks are good too. If you are looking for a nice dimly lit restaurant for a date night this is definitely a good place. You are definitely going to spend $150+ though.
