Reviews for Hutong New York in New York, NY

Had a reservation for 5:00 p.m. dinner. Seated promptly and service was impeccable. Staff paid attention to very fine... details. The decor was modern. Seats were comfortable. It was near empty when we arrived around 5:00 p.m., other guest startedarriving around 6:00 p.m. for dinner. It was a nice mixed of both Asian and non-Asian guests. I would suggest having areservation. Started with the wagyu millefeuille which was extremely tasty. The half-peking duck had really crispy skin. Wehad to wrap the duck with our hands without tongs which got a little messy. If their wrappers did not come half folded (whichrequired unfolding before being able to wrap), it would have been a nicer experience. The wrappers also came in a bamboo steamerwhich was nice, however this allowed the wrappers to be cooled down too quickly way before we were able to finish the dish. Theydo however offer wrapper refills if more wrappers are needed. Just tell your server and a nice hot steamer of fresh wrapperswill be delivered. The second part of the Peking duck where they took the leftover duck meats to stir fry with diced stringbeans served with lettuce wrap was a let down. The dish was under seasoned and visually not appealing. The Red Lantern dish(softshell crabs crispy and with special dry rub seasoning served in a giant bowl with dried red peppers) was very yummy withoutbeing too spicy. Dessert was bao and soy. The bao part was a moose shaped like a bao. The soy part was a soybean flavored icecream. Presentation was spectacular and taste was intricate. We took a photo in the champagne runway, which was part of thehall separating the bar from the main restaurant. We looked into the bar, and looks like a nice place for a drink afterwork. Overall, enjoyable experience, great atmosphere and impeccable service; food can be a little bit more boldly flavored(food seems a bit under flavored for my Asian palate). Read more

Beijing duck is not that bad. Not recommend 2 people go there as the portion is pretty large. The soft shell crab ???? is not... bad but better just eat one per person, otherwise would feel a bit oily. Read more

3 stars for the price - the place is nice but really expensive even for New York standards in our opinion. We didn’t think... the flaming duck (~$170)was worth it, regular duck would probably suffice. We were especially unimpressed by the way the Pekingduck was sliced up. The crispy pork dumplings were in all honesty pretty good! And had really delicious hot sauce. Read more

I’ve been here a handful of times now, and I think it has improved since it opened a few years ago. I most recently came with... my family, who were interested in an upscale rendition of Chinese food. The Peking Duck is available at lunch, while the FlamingDuck is available in the evening and requires a timeslot reservation. We really enjoyed the duck, especially with the amazinglythin pancakes. The ribs, squid and asparagus were all great too. The real tragedy is the lobster. $80+ for a poor fella whocould not have weighed more than a pound. I can’t fathom the thought process behind offering such a small dish for such aprice! Definitely avoid that one. Otherwise, this place is pretty decent and lunch is nice, quiet, good for the family.

Lovely ambiance, amazing design and very attentive staff. The food was good, modern and visual, however it would need a little... more seasoning & perfecting. The dessert was the highlight of the experience… a must ! Read more

Phenomenal modern Chinese food!! The ambiance is great, service is great, however the food is exceptional. Half Peking duck was... enough to share amongst 4 of us, the crispy prawns, fried rice, noodles and Wagyu beef dim sum were absolutely delicious. Thesesame flavored old fashioned was very nice. You can’t go wrong with anything you order here ….as long as you’re good withthe price tag. I absolutely enjoyed this place and will keep coming back. Reservations recommended. Read more

Modern Chinese food. Nice ambiance, kinda dark, saw some using their phone as a flashlight to see the menu. Not too loud do you... hear your party talking. Peking duck 2 ways was my favorite. Using the thin rice paper skin instead of the bun was reallygood. The duck was cut perfectly to fit inside the wrapper with no bones you have to deal with. Hutong lobster was good withlots of flavor maybe just a little too much salt but I still enjoyed it. The sea bass noodles was a little too spicy for mytaste. The front door is inside the circular driveway. We had 3 adults and this was the perfect amount of food. Wontons,lobster dumplings, Peking duck 2 ways, duck fried rice, hutong lobster, sea bass noodle. Read more

Cool ambiance but way over priced for the quality of food. It was fun but $300 for a duck, a couple drinks and an appetizer is a... bit much. Pretty good food, just not worth the money. You can get far superior food in Chinatown for 1/3 of the price. No fancyambience, but the quality is superior in China Town. Read more
