Hutong New York - Buy Reservations

I came to this elegant art deco Chinese restaurant a few times, one being my husband's birthday. It's very beautiful inside and the staff make you feel very welcome. The hall to the bathroom is very cute, you can always find a pretty woman taking a picture there! The Peking duck was great, duck is typically pretty heavy and fatty so it was very filling and fun to watch the chef cut up table side. Come here to spend loads of money for a fancy time.

I've been here before and it was good - but his last visit was horrible. The dining room was closed so we were squished at a cocktail table for 1 (there were 3 of us). I mentioned I wished they had called so we could change our reservation, also mentioned we would be ordering a lot of food, and where would it go. Well... they brought one entrée at a time as that is all that would fit on the table, so the other 2 had to watch the one eat. Then at the end of the meal they brought the 2 sides. We tried to get our meals together but was told no room on the table. The wine was the wrong year, we didn't get the dessert we ordered - and the entire ordeal tool 4.75 hours. For $600+ I certainly expected a better evening. Won't go back

Worst Chinese restaurant! The food is so terrible and very expensive. We got a chicken dish and they brought us a huge dish , we thought it’s so huge but when we look at it , it was full of chillies and a half breast of chicken cut so tiny and so dry with no sauce . We brought our 16 years old child for his birthday, we had a cake for her , they refused to have it unless we pay them 30 dollars to cut it ! It was a joke !!! A very expensive restaurant with mediocre food and lack of good customer service!

Despite the almost club-staurant style, the food is the star and the reason to visit Hutong.Quality: Walking in I was a bit concerned it may be a place that focuses on style over substance, but was happy to find that was not the case. Each dish looks great, but there was not a single item I would skip. The Dim Sum dishes and the Roasted Peking Duck With Pancakes were the stars. However, the Hutong Dan Dan Noodles was a personal favorite. Cocktails are pricey, but delicious, and our Bao & Soy Milk dessert was a great conclusion.Quantity: Small plates and dim sum, better to share.Value: $22 for the Comfortably Numb Cocktail. $22 for the Wagyu Beef Millefeuille. $22 for the Crystal Lobster Dumplings. $18 for the Yu Xiang Crispy Pork Dumpling. $56 for the Roasted Peking Duck With Pancakes. $15 for the Fried Noodles. $14 for the Hutong Dan Dan Noodles. $17 for the Bao & Soy Milk.Ambiance: Hutong has a massive space located in Midtown East. It took two tries to get to the correct entrance, which is at the center of this caved out building. They occupy a huge area, which seems even larger because of the ridiculously high ceilings. The dining area is separated from the bar, and both have an upscale club vibe. The booths are a bit annoying as the tables are not the proper size and guests end up far away from their dishes.Crowd: Reservations recommended even though it is a large space.Service: A weird experience as it felt like our server was trying hard to change our order. They seem to really want guests to only select their signature dishes, which begs the question of why not reduce the menu.Parking: Limited street parking.

We love the dim sum and the flounder pepper soup was delicious! Ordered an entire Peking duck for 6 of us and it was plenty. I would come back to try other items on the menu

We went looking for an experience and we found this beautiful restaurant with a large variety of items (we wanted to try it all) and great working staff. The place is stunning and it is great for date night or birthday celebrations. The food, the food was simply delicious. We ate until we couldn't anymore.

The interior of this place is beautiful, especially the wine cellar/ hall!We had about 7 lychee martinis between the 2 of us and mannnn they were goodT. The fried noodles were a little bland but the roasted duck, duck fried rice, cod bao and lobster dumplings were amazing.Waiter was attentive and patient with my indecisiveness lol

I love their noodles but a little too oily and too small portion but the taste was very good. But curious with the duck which is too much oily. The service was good but we need to call them every time we need something. But the ambiance and over all was good, defintely will go back again for sure.

I love duck and after hearing about this place from a friend, I knew I had to come here for my birthday. Found out they are a Michelin Star Restaurant too known for "The Flaming Duck" and they only accept 5 bookings per night starting at 5:30pm through 8:30pm. You have to do the prepaid ($160- up to 6 guests) online booking from Monday to Thursday (up to 14 days in advance). We got here a little early on a Sunday, and they were able to seat us while we waited for our friend. Besides the flaming duck, we ordered a whole Peking duck, which is served in 2 stages- with pancakes and stir-fry duck & green beans with lettuce leaf cups. We also got some Hutong Signature Dishes- the chilled green asparagus, prawn roll & red lantern (soft-shell crab) as well as the dan dan noodles. The flaming duck was the best we have ever had in terms of flavor, very little fat, cooked and sliced to perfection. That alone is quite pricey but definitely worth it, a must try! The Peking duck was also delicious except I didn't really like the second stage of it- I felt like there were too many green beans and not enough flavor. The asparagus was not bad either, the ends were coated with honey but there was way too much white sesame. Prawn roll was good. The dan dan noodles was silky, smooth and had just the right level of spiciness. Lastly, the soft-shell crabs were deep fried with dried whole chillies, so it had some extra kick as well. Portion size for all the dishes were decent, price was reasonable and the modern decor made it the perfect birthday dinner. Service was exquisite with servers always there to fill up our water cups without having to ask and giving us new plates. Our server, Terence was very helpful and attentive. The food came out lightning fast with a perfect pace to the next course. The Flaming Duck Experience was great and didn't take long. I would come back just for that. Best duck ever!

Food:- food is amazing but I felt it was overpriced and portions were to smallService:- waiter was amazing- front desk was terrible. After paying my bill; they charged me a no show way. And even after they confirmed they would reverse. And I confirmed with them 3 times. It was never reversed. When I tried called later; they would never pick up the phone. I was only able to resolve this through my credit card company. Which is really stupidAmbiance:- Great!

Popped in for lunch on the Friday before CNY, treating myself (single diner) to a delicious meal for the occasion. After only being given the regular menu I asked for the lunch special menu (10 mins or so after getting the first one). I couldn't make heads or tails of it, so after not seeing my waiter for a good 10 mins more, I flagged down a waitress who said it was the wrong menu, and brought me the lunch specials menu.Finally placed my order with my waiter and probably 20 mins after that he came to tell me they were out of dumplings (my reason for choosing Hutong in the first place). He then gave me another menu to choose a substitution, but again leaving me with the wrong menu! Once he came back I asked him if it was correct as duck was listed on this one (not on the specials menu). He said yes so I asked for the duck appy instead. 10 mins later he brought the lunch specials menu again and said the other was wrong and I couldn't have the duck. I chose another item and said I really hope he gets the order in asap as I'd been there for over 45 mins already and my order wasn't even placed yet! He unapologetically said ok.The table next to me (probably from witnessing all this) asked their waitress if my waiter was new. She said it was actually her first day, but he'd been there for a long time! Honestly with the terrible service he provided, he should've offered a glass of wine or dessert. I really like the food at Hutong, but this experience will not bring me back anytime soon.

Service was disconnected and relatively poor for this standard of restaurant. Booked the flaming duck but this was disappointing overall and in my opinion was overpriced. The other dishes were mediocre at best. On a positive the venue is nice and the rum cocktail I had was lovely. To conclude it was overpriced for what we received.

We went to Hutong for our Christmas lunch. They had their normal menu. What a treat! We loved the dim sum platter, the eggplant tempura, the pea shoots tossed, the red lantern (soft shell crab) etc. We ended up paying 120$ pp (excl tax and tip) with half bottle of wine each. A bargain for this quality of food and its execution. There are some real cooks in the kitchen. Our waiter was excellent and very helpful in assisting in the choice of dishes. I will certainly go back for lunch or dinner.

Expensive for what it is. May have liked/enjoyed more if I hadn’t been to the Hutong in Hong Kong - which is amazing. Food in NY is average, cocktails mediocre, decor average, service average. There is just nothing exceptional- which was super disappointing as I was so looking forward to dinner.

Booked the 'flaming duck experience' for my son's 21st birthday. Sat on a table in the corner of the restaurant and two of us were facing the wall. Restaurant so dark we struggled to see our food. Flaming Duck experience very under whelming, especially given the price. The cooking process looked dramatic but wouldn't bother doing it again...just watch it being cooked for someone else's table. Restaurant lacked atmosphere. Waiter nice enough but not very attentive. Might be better if you didn't have the flaming duck, but to be honest i think you could have a more exciting time else where and spend less

Food is good, with a wide range of options. Recommendations from staff were good. Sizes are small which allows to share plates, a plus I would say. Recommendable.

I had meat puff pastry and there was cartilage inside I showed it to the waiter and manager apologised but still this isn’t the quality you expect from this restaurant Other Hutongs in Honk Kong orLondon will never serve such low quality food and the rest of the food wasn’t impressive at all

We were a table of 4 on Saturday 15 October 2022 The initial service with Nick was great. He was lovely but he disappeared at 10pm & the rest of our evening service wasn’t great. Food wise: the whole flaming duck at $125 was very disappointing - not crispy enough, very fatty & very under seasoned & even the table side experience was lacklustre & not worth the exorbitant cost. The shrimp rolls were tasty. We also ordered shrimp kung po with side orders of rice & noodles which arrived first & were eaten before the shrimp arrived. No one wants to eat sides without the mains. We ordered dessert. 30 minutes later it still hadn’t arrived. We asked for the dessert to be cancelled & for the check. The very moody maitre d’ / floor manager immediately appeared with the dessert even though we cancelled it. We assumed it was an apology & on the house so we ate it while paying the check only to notice it was charged. The total bill for 1 appetiser, 1 duck, 1 main & 2 sides was almost $500 (we also had Coke & 3 glasses of wine) and was sadly not worth it. Only Nick the wonderful Server made me leave a more positive review.

The food you get here is not the normal chinese fare. The tastes are quite different & the presentations are also very nice. The Crispy Prawn Rolls ( $23), Mushroom Bao ($22, & looks like a mushroom, but isn't) are excellent. The Wagyu Beef Millefeulle ($22) is spicy but very good and the pastry does flake off nicely. The Red Lantern softshell crabs are also spicy but wonderful ($57) and plentiful and magically presented. The Mapo Tofu ($18) is nice & spicy & have it with plain rice ($3). The Pea shoots Wok tossed ($18) are also quite good. Ambiance & service are excellent.
