RE:Â New York Times Restaurant Review
Pete Wells dining spot this week was at Hutong which is a new restaurant opened in midtown in July. This restaurant is Chinese based and their precision speaks for itself in their dishes. Pete Wells have been able to notice it in their dim sum including the other dishes. Hutong have been able to stand out from their competitors by showing discipline, precision and technical mastery. “…that has rarely been seen in this city over the past few decades, to the dismay of eaters who know what Chinese food is capable of,” said Mr. Wells. Hutong didn’t fail to give a great impression when it comes to the setting. When stepped into the place, on the right takes you to a hallway with two soaring glass stacks of wine and the left leads to a hard edge dining room. The experience at Hutong begins at the doorsteps. They have been able to give an experience that is rare and the expectations Hutong sets can hardly be reached by its competitors.
The pictures of this place are breathtaking. The plates are well proportioned and presented. Although the price range is on the expensive side, your taste buds won’t be disappointed when trying their “crunchy, chewy, charcoal-black mini-footballs stuffed with pork (in what is known in Sichuan as “fish-fragrant” seasoning) to sparkle as if diamond chips had been kneaded into the dough,” Mr.Wells expressed. This restaurant is worth more than two stars.
