Had a really great lunch at Hutong. The space feels upscale but the food still tastes authentic and flavorful. Loved the spicy wontons and the lobster with scrambled eggs. The duck was also surprisingly good. Service was attentive and the portions were generous. Definitely a great spot for a nice lunch or dinner in Midtown.
Finally great Chinese food in NYC, instead of the huge Hop Hop Kee style portions etc. Yes, le Cirque in that location was different, not so ”diner” atm as now. The service was young and leading but evening was beautiful. The calamari and scallop appetizers were very pretty, made us hungrier and soooo tasty. And it is the dream always to get the duck well served and prepared, now almost better than in Xian. And the crispy pork but tira misu was even tastier…thank you!!!
Had a great dinner at Hutong! We ordered half a Peking duck (so crispy), spicy lobster, beef tenderloin with Lao Gan Ma, calamari flowers, and chicken salad. Everything was flavorful and well-executed. The milk tea tiramisu and soy milk cheesecake were a perfect sweet finish. Cocktails like the Smoked Dan Dan Old Fashioned and Chinese Lantern were unique and delicious. Service was attentive, and the Art Deco vibe is beautiful.
