Classy ambiance, great for special occasions or a work lunch/dinner in midtown east. We loved the peking duck and dim sum sampler. Chilean sea bass was also delicious. Service was speedy and attentive, I would bring my parents here!

Booked for Saturday night date. The food is good, but to be fair the dumplings were amazing, whereas the duck was slightly tasteless in my view. The atmosphere is decent but could use a bit more music, and the service was top notch. Price was high as it would be expected in NYC, c150 per head with one drink.
After we went to Hutong for the first time during Restaurant Weeks in February, we now got back there for their Bejing Duck. It was the best one, I ever had outside of China. We love the ambience there, service is very attentive and food is amazing! Try the Truffle Shitake Bao!!! We will definitely go back there soon!

One of the best Chinese restaurants in the USA. The flaming pekking duck was amazing, on par with the best I've had in Beijing. Skin was perfectly crispy and meat tender. Other food was good too, dumplings were some of the best pork dumplings I've had and beef egg drop soup perfect too. Next time I'll come with more people so we can try more of the menu

We always have a great experience at Hutong. The service is friendly and professional. The food is always delicious. Some of the dishes we love include the crispy prawns, the dim sum sampler, and the Peking Duck. They offer a nice selection of wines and delicious cocktails. We highly recommend Hutong.

Yum yum yum and such amazing presentation!If you wanna go for the show this is the place to be. We found that it was a little expensive for what it was, but hey it’s good quality Asian food outside of Asia!It’s the fanciest Chinese food I’ve had in the states and I say that because I typically go for street food since it’s what I crave.Highlights would be the dim sum sampler platter and that bao dessert! Don’t miss out!

Pretty disappointing, service was very sweet, dining space was comfortable.The calamari flowers were a bit boring and some pieces overcooked and rubbery. I was a little confused why this was on the menu, the chili on it wasn't dissimilar to lao gan ma.The asparagus was the best part. Very simple but fresh and the sesame was really pleasant and sweet.The pork ribs came out cold the first time. The waitress was very sweet (I really never send food back) and we got it, this time lukewarm but we really didn't want to send it back. While soft and cooked nice and tender, it was really one-note and bland. The sauce just felt sweet with some orange?Overall, I can't help but feel confused about the dishes. I don't feel very compelled to come back and I'm not sure why I was recommended here :(

TLDR: Beautiful decor, delicious food, expensive rice, attentive service.We (party of 3) arrived around 6pm on a Thursday. Though we had not made reservations, we were quickly seated. A coat check was offered though we declined. The restaurant was huge, spanning an entire lower level of a building the width of the block. We were seated on the side closer to 58th Street, in a corner, at a table that had two chairs and one large corner sofa. The seating proved to be more than enough for three people. Our only complaint was that it was right next to a large glass door, which was an issue for two reasons: firstly, because people kept trying to open the door not knowing that the main entrance was around the corner, and secondly, because cold air was leaking through it. At the center of the room was a large, regal bar, lit up to show various alcohols. The decor of the restaurant was beautiful; black as a primary color worked well to create a luxurious, exclusive mood, penetrated by warm lighting and candles at the tables.We were greeted soon after being seated and offered a choice between tap, still, and sparkling water. We were also asked if we had food allergies. We chose to order the Sichuan Shredded Beef as an appetizer and the Chilean Sea Bass, Ma La Beef Tenderloin, and Zhenjiang Pork Ribs for entrees. We ended with the Bao & Soy Milk for dessert. The appetizer came out pretty fast. The beef was shredded into very thin pieces and fried to a crisp, covered in a sweet and slightly spicy glaze. This was very good to us, though the mealy texture might not be for all. The entrees arrived a bit later. The Chilean Sea Bass was served as a few pieces of sea bass ontop a bed of rice noodles in a sweet, sour, and spicy soup and pieces of red pepper arranged to resemble a star. The sea bass was tender, flaky, and rich. It paired well with the soup. The rice noodles were soft and springy. The pepper was sweet and crisp. The Ma La Beef Tenderloin was delicious as well. The beef cubes were incredibly tender and juicy. The mala spice was powerful, numbing the tongue, yet serving up an umami and savory flavor storm. This is not for the faint-hearted. The Zhenjiang Pork Ribs were fall-off-the-bone, juicy, tender, and coated in a sweet and savory black rice wine sauce. This was a relief from the spiciness of the other dishes. Finally, the Bao & Soy Milk dessert was delicious and very creative. It consisted of a white chocolate shell, molded around a sesame-based filling and with caramel in the center, all shaped to look like a pan-fried bun. Pan-toasted sesame seeds were scattered around the plate. The soy milk component was in the form of a scoop of ice cream on the side; this was delicious: creamy, rich, and full of the taste of soy. The dessert overall was lovely, delicate, and a work of art.It's worth mentioning that on the side, we ordered two bowls of white rice, which came out to be 8 dollars a bowl. This was our only grievance of the night: 8 dollars is too much for a plain bowl of white rice, even with the prices of the rest of the menu. I'd recommend trying their fried rice or noodles for the same price as two/three bowls of rice.The service was attentive throughout our stay. Our waitress was friendly, and the other staff who brought us our food and cleared our plates and table were constantly checking in. At one point, we asked for the curtain blocking the door to be shut because of the cold air leaking in; the staff gladly complied.Overall, I would say we had a lovely experience and will be returning. For the admittedly pricey price, you're treated to great ambience, good service, and delicious food.Vegetarian options: Various vegetarian selections for both mains and entrees.Dietary restrictions: Willing to accommodate for allergies and other dietary restrictions.Parking: Street parking may or may not be available. Located between two busy avenues and two busy streets with much traffic.Kid-friendliness: More of an upscale restaurant and food is not catered to children's simple palettes (except maybe
