    Bao & Soy Milk dessert
    Holly R.

    Bubbles & Bao brunch is not to be missed, just come hungry. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place looks different with sunlight streaming through the window- it's still elegant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've loved the black crispy dumplings, but now my new favorites are the mushroom bao and chicken wonton. The mushroom bao is artfully shaped like a mushroom. Everything was delicious. The service was attentive and they didn't rush us. The water and champagne glasses were kept full. I'm not sure which champagne they were pouring, but it was great.

    This restaurant offers an upscale Chinese dining experience with Cantonese dim sum. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is elegant and quiet, with soft lighting that creates a refined and comfortable setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is well maintained, and even the restrooms are very clean and nicely designed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout the meal, but the pacing in general slow, so it's better suited for a relaxed dinner or conversation rather than just a meal experience. It could work well for a business meeting if not in a hurry. One dish that really stood out was the crispy beef pastry with a molten salted egg yolk center. It was extremely crispy and fragrant, and so good that we seriously considered ordering another one. Some of the other dishes, such as the noodles, leaned salty and were not memorable. However, the vegetable dishes were very flavorful and nicely prepared. (Low sodium was requested) Reservation is recommended.

    The food was fine. The Peking duck (which came with leftover duck afterward) was very good and my favorite, but the wontons (brunch dim sum item), mapo tofu, green beans, steamed sea bass were all good. The fried rice and Dan Dan noodles were okay. The prawns were good, but were more spicy than mala. The portion sizes were so small that it was a bit shocking. Hard to tell from the picture, but it felt like there were 10 green beans in the dish. The dan dan noodles came in a tiny bowl. The steamed sea bass also felt like a bite sized portion, as opposed to the normal whole fish you usually get at Chinese restaurants. I know it's a fine dining place, but it felt a little jarring. I also think it was a bit much that the dim sum portions only had one piece but were ~$10, which is why we didn't get any at bench (I suspect it may be to push people towards their bao and brunch set menu where you get unlimited certain dim sum dishes).

    If you're looking to have some Northern Chinese/Sichuan-style dishes in a fabulous, upscale art deco setting, then Hutong is an excellent option. Everything about my visit was great. From the attentive service, to the upscale environment, to the very delicious dishes, everything was just perfect. My appetizer was the calamari flowers, which is a spicy dish served cold. It was delicious. It wasn't overly spicy, so I think anyone can enjoy it. Along with that I also had a dumpling dish that was also very tasty. For my main I had the Kung Po Iberico Pork. It's a seasoned pork dish served with apples and cashews mixed in, which really brought the dish alive. That dish was amazing. As a side I had the veggie fried rice, which was also very good. For dessert, the plum sorbet, which was refreshing. I was recently at the flagship Hutong in Hong Kong, and wanted to compare experiences. They are both wonderful upscale environments. I can't recommend Hutong enough. It's a fabulous dining experience that any lover of Chinese cuisine will enjoy.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had dined at Hutong NYC a few months ago and absolutely loved the experience, which is why I chose it for my birthday dinner. My first visit was amazing, the atmosphere, the beautiful show, everything felt special and memorable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, this recent experience was very disappointing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I arrived exactly at my 8:00 PM reservation time. About 15 minutes before, I received a call asking if I would be there or if I wanted to push my reservation back. I confirmed I would be there at 8:00 PM. They also asked if my entire party would be present, and I explained that most of my guests would be, but I would be arriving first as the reservation holder. I was told that would be fine and I would be seated. When I arrived at 8:00 PM, I was then told I could not be seated without my full party, which directly contradicted what I was just told on the phone. I had to request a manager and waited about 15 minutes for assistance. During that time, I kept asking why my table wasn't ready if my reservation was for 8:00 PM. I was told they were still preparing it.We were not seated until 8:40 PM--40 minutes after our reservation time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we were finally seated, the table was not properly set for our full party. Finally once we were seated. There were only 6 chairs for a group of 9 (eventually 10 guests were present)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The service felt unprepared from the start. When speaking with the general manager about not having enough seating, I was told that "they can't rush people out" because other guests were still sitting at the table that was supposed to be assigned to us. This was especially frustrating given that I had a confirmed reservation and had already been waiting 40 minutes past my time. We also had only one waiter assigned to a large party, which made service very slow and disorganized. Even though we requested all food be served together since we were sharing appetizers and entrées, dishes came out at different times and the order was confused. We were also repeatedly asked about additional flaming duck orders even after we clearly stated once was enough, as not everyone eats duck. The staff did kindly allow us to bring in and cut our cake and removed the per-person cake fee due to the delays, which I appreciated. However, overall the experience felt very disorganized, with slow service, missing silverware, and a lack of preparation despite the reservation being made two weeks in advance. Unfortunately, I left feeling very disappointed, especially compared to my first visit, which had been so special. I will not be returning.

    After a morning spent visiting Grand Seiko and Bucherer, my friend and I decided to stop for lunch here--and it proved to be an excellent choice. My dining companion happens to be a preeminent horologist and an enthusiastic gourmand, so expectations were appropriately high. We ordered from the lunch menu and supplemented with a few items from the regular menu. Highlights included the Seared Scallops, Hot & Sour Soup, Sanchen Chicken, and the Ma La Beef Tenderloin, all of which were well-executed and boldly flavored without being heavy-handed. A small but memorable detail: my friend pointed out that the dried chilies in the Sanchen Chicken are meant as aromatics and garnish rather than something diners are expected to eat--after confirming this, it made perfect sense and reflected the kitchen's attention to authentic technique. The happy hour is particularly strong. The Farmer's Negroni was outstanding and easily one of the better cocktail variations I've had recently. While we opted not to order their famous torched Peking Duck, a nearby table did, and it looked spectacular--definitely something to try on a return visit. The setting adds another layer of appeal. The restaurant occupies the former Le Cirque space, which closed in 2017, and the room retains a sense of scale and polish fitting for its Midtown location in the Bloomberg Building at One Beacon Court. This was also the U.S. debut of the Hong Kong-based Aqua Restaurant Group. While the New York location opened in 2019, the Hutong brand itself dates back to Hong Kong in 2003, with an additional outpost in London's Shard. Overall, this is an impressive destination for refined Northern Chinese cuisine with Sichuan influences, excellent cocktails, and a polished atmosphere. Whether for a business lunch, a happy hour drink, or a more indulgent dinner, it's a place well worth revisiting.

    The interior is nice. Seating has some couch like options which is fun. Service was rough. Not enough staff. Hard to find a person when needed. Very disappointed given the price point. Don't come if you're expecting service to be great. The duck was great. It's $65 for half duck, which is a good amount of food. I did enjoy their Peking/Beijing duck. You can do a whole one for i think $150... and there's a flaming duck option i think. I just wanted to try the basic. Kung pao shrimp is a tiny dish with like 5 medium sized shrimp. Ok flavor. Dim sum variety mix was good but not great. I think there was a lobster dumpling in there that was good though. Wine is crazy overpriced for a limited selection. Not impressed. I would back for the duck but nothing else was worth it.

    To be honest, you're paying for the nice venue than the food. The dumplings and vegetables weren't any tastier than your favorite local dim sum hole in the wall. The staff was very nice as were the bathrooms. I recommend skipping everything except for the dessert as it was the best part. We got the Treasures which was a little of everything. It was very tasty and cool looking especially the Childhood and ice cream. Don't eat the chocolate coins though because they were old. The tiramisu used cocoa powder and not espresso so it wasn't very good. Their version of a milk tea was very interesting and different with popping boba. The other mocktails were okay. Not crowded at all for a Friday lunch.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]A great place for lunch, whether business or leisure.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It lived up to the hype.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is beautiful from the dining room to even the bathroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was scrumptious and the cocktails were innovative and well balanced. The service was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu , and were able to guide our group on the portions, so we didn't have too many left overs since we were going to be walking around the city after. Must try the chili chicken.

    An upscale chinese establishment with really cool decor, amazing service and unique menu. Honestly, it's a great option if you want upscale asian fusion. I'd take clients or out of towners here for sure! We got a whole variety of dishes and they were all good. The price is a bit high but thought it was fair for nyc. I liked the duck and mushroom dumplings the most!

    Ask the Community - Hutong

    Do they serve roasted duck for lunch on Sunday?

    They open for Monday?

    Yes 5PM-10PM Must make reservations You need proof of vaccination and ID

    Do they still have a limit on the number of Peking Duck served a day? If my reservation is at 5:45PM, will they still have it?

    They have always had it when I was there.if youwant tone sire, I suggest you go early.

    Can I just walk in without a reservation?

    Yes but you'll most likely get a spot at the salon which is first come first serve. I think it's almost the full menu except two items. One being the duck.

    Does Hutong have valet parking?

    None. It is in the Bloomberg building. But there are parking lots nearby.

    Can I eat at the bar if I can't get a table?

    Yes Margot, they have a beautiful longe and bar are which is first come first serve, they have a a full menu at the bar but a LARGER in the dining room area.

    Is it baby friendly?

    NO! Leave the baby home!

    Can I get the duck carcass back if we order the whole duck?

    They server the duck as 2 stages. So they actually bring the carcass back to the kitchen to take the rest of the duck breast out to make the second stage. If you skip the 2nd stage, you can have the carcass which is the bones

    Do we need reserve roast duck?

    Also get the whole duck not half trust me.

    Is this related to the Hutong in Hong Kong? *hopeful*

    Yes it is! And London!

    What kind of cuisine does it offer? It says dimsum on yelp, but website says northern food, pictures looks like Sichuan. It's a bit confusing.

    Hutong refers to a certain style of alleyways in Beijing. So, northern food is most accurate.

We wandered over here after visiting the Empire State Building; it was only a five minute walk away! We went after watching the sunset, so around 8-ish, and were pleasantly surprised we didn't have to wait for a table. The atmosphere was bright and lively, but not too much to bring our seven-year-old. We ordered: PORK DUMPLINGS-- best thing we ordered. My. Goodness. The broth was perfectly seasoned and silky. Was always a little sad after the last bit of soup from each dumpling was slurped. ;) Meat inside was tender and flavorful and the wrapper wasn't too thin or thick. Just the right thickness to keep the soup inside until you were ready, but not so thick that it was too chewy or distracting from the contents. Also ordered, the SPICY BEEF DUMPLINGS as recommended by our server. They were yummy. Tasty soup and beef had a deeper flavor. Not too spicy. Next time, we will probably just order extra pork dumplings or try something new. We ordered the SCALLION PANCAKES. I prefer my scallion pancakes thinner. These were a lot like the thickness of a dense pita. Still enjoyed them-- still a nice texture that was both soft and crispy, perfectly greasy, and flavorful. CRISPY CHILI CHICKEN (or something like that) was good but nothing special. Had some heat but not too spicy. CUCUMBER SALAD-- was a nice cold addition to the meal. Loved the sesame oil, just wish there was more, as well as more flavor. We ended up pouring a little soy sauce on top and that helped. I thought it was nice to chase a bite of crispy chili chicken with a bite of cucumber. WHITE RICE-- we ordered three orders of rice that was perfectly prepared, but way too much for three adults. Not complaining, but each bowl would have probably been enough for two adults. Can't wait to return!

If you've only had the traditional savory Fantuan, do yourself a favor and try the sweet one too--it's a unique treat that's hard to find. Whether you're a longtime fan of soup dumplings or trying Nan Xiang for the first time, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back again soon!

Dish highlights include the shrimp and chive dumplings, beef chow fun, and my personal favorite, the stuffed eggplant. Other items were a little bland, like the turnip cakes and har gow, and the pan fried shrimp noodles were awkwardly plated and made them difficult to eat. I also wish they had rice noodle rolls, which I didnt see on the menu. Really what pushed it to 5 stars to me was the service. We came as a huge group of 20, with a baby and stroller in tow, and they handled everything without so much as a grimace, just an outpouring of helpfulness. They sat half our group at a round table and the other half at a rectangular long table and also helped us navigate dietary restrictions, asking specifically who in the group had those restrictions. The menu is labeled too, so you know which items are vegetarian or gluten free. At one point our helpful server noticed we hadn't really touched that awkwardly plated noodle dish and offered to replace it with another. We didn't take him up on that as I'd find that wasteful but I thought that was so attentive and earned them a generous tip. The space is nice looking, and the food came out very quickly. We also didn't break the bank, even with plenty of drink orders. Dao's is an easy recommendation, especially when you factor in how seamlessly they handled our chaos.

    Had a pretty good meal here with a group of co-workers. I tried the cucumber salad, mapo tofu,…read moreeggplant in garlic chili sauce, and scallion pancakes. I really liked the scallion pancake and eggplant. The pancake wasn't crispy/dry, but rather the exterior was crisp and the inside was still a little soft/fluffy. It's the first time I had a scallion pancake that wasn't just straight dough inside/outside, or so thin that it got crisped out. I really liked this texture profile though. The eggplant was 10/10; the eggplant was cooked well, so tender but not soggy. The sauce was really good too such that it was sufficient spice but not flaming. Would recommended. I enjoyed the cucumber salad and tofu as well, but have had better. Seasoning and prep were good though -- although the tofu was cooked so tender (or maybe was silken tofu to begin with) that the whole table was struggling with carrying it from plate to mouth -- heh. Food came out very quickly; staff were friendly, efficient, and helpful. Decent amount of seating with a cozy vibe. It was a good meal, not my favorite Szechuan spot, but definitely hit the spot.

    A great place to grab some dinner before the show or after since they open until late. You order on…read morethe kiosk and then pick a seat in the back. You can pick any available space to sit. It's quite spacious back there. They will call your number to pick up the food. They have a screen in the back with the order number being called. They have a condiment station with chili oil, soy sauce, sriracha. The chopsticks, forks, spoons are in the drawers. You clean up after yourself when you finish eating since it's self-serve. I like their wonton and beef stew noodle soups. It comes with fresh green vegetables. Very tasty. They have rice rolls. I got the shrimp rice roll. That was very good. It came with fresh green vegetables also, a plus. They also have congee. It has small bits of meat in it, but it's still very good congee base and satisfies cravings. You have to ask for white pepper at the front register. I didn't see it at the condiment station. As a snack or part of the combo, they have egg tarts. That was just ok. I'm too full to also eat that with the meal anyways. For drinks, the HK milk tea, especially the hot one, is very good. I got it without sugar. Their soy milk and iced lemon tea is also very good. Congee or rice roll with a drink is great for breakfast or late meal since they open early 8am and close late midnight in the W40th theater area. Very solid place to grab some food.

    Food: 3.3/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 Overall: 3.4/5 I think this is a perfectly serviceable Dim Sum place, but there are quite a few flaws with their menu. I won't point out any particular dish as being awful or exceptional, because that's the problem I have with this place overall. Nothing stands out in any sort of way. Everything here kind of just tastes the same, which bothers me because the flavor profile of these dishes should all be tasting vastly different. Most of the dishes carry this overwhelmingly strong oil taste, especially in their fried meats, that kind of just makes them all taste kind of mediocre. The typical Dim Sum dishes, while serviceable, just kind of feels rushed flavor wise with little care put into them, leading them to taste kind of like nothing. The only dish that I would actively order is their noodle, which carries a more distinct light yet rich flavor that complements their noodles, but even then I feel as though the meat and egg feel like afterthoughts in the dish that don't really add to it in any way. The last problem I have with this place is their sauce station, which though kind of them to offer quite a few sauces to add to your dim sum, is just a really messy and unsanitary area which threw off my meal. I wanted to like this place, given that I love eating dim sum, but this wasn't it for me.

    This place is so cool! I wasn't expecting to find this awesome Chinese restaurant in the middle of…read moreKtown in NYC. I was browsing for places with scallion pancakes and I came across this restaurant. I saw they had a scallion pancake beef rook which I'd never seen before. It was fried and crispy on the inside with tender beef on the inside, that was slightly savory slightly sweet. I had the roll on its own, which made for a light meal, but it can also be enjoyed as a large snack. It was a little greasy, which can be expected, but not sure if I'd get it again. I did think it was innovative though. The most impressive thing about the restaurant was actually the space. I came to pick up my food and was surprised to see this beautiful place. The outside is unassuming and nothing special but inside has the aesthetic of an old Shanghai restaurant. It's ornate and slightly quirky. It's also really big, bigger than I expected. Even the bathrooms had traditional Chinese flare with the sliding doors. Definitely worth checking out,

It's also nicely decorated, which makes you feel like you're in China. It's definitely for a younger crowd with how loud this place gets. We had a huge party, so we ordered an array of dishes to share family style. Some of the most memorable dishes were the Mapo Tofu ($13.99), Hutaoli Roast Chicken ($43 for whole), Spicy Pot Potato ($19), Roasted Green Beans ($22), etc. All of the food is good, but definitely pricey. While the food also came out quickly, our drinks came out towards the end of our meal. It's a good spot for big parties as it never got too busy even on a Saturday night. They also have private rooms. The live music was fun, but also made it hard to have conversation.
