RE: New York Times Restaurant Review
Recently open high end chinese restaurant Hutong located in midtown brings a more complex and fine chinese cuisine to New York.
New york is known for being the city where you can almost replicate any cuisine in the world, from the most basic, tasty and casual dishes to the most extraordinary and refined version of them. Some of the most popular fine dining restaurants in New York include the Italian cuisine and the French cuisine, but nowadays you can find others such as Peruvian or Mexican. What we have not really seen is a high end Chinese restaurant.
Hutong is located in Midtown Manhattan, it is a Northern Chinese restaurant and the first of its version was originally opened in Hong Kong in 2003. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, walls in the entrance hall are made of glass where you can see through wine bottles used for decoration purposes. Pete Wells highlights dishes like the dim sum which he believes no other restaurant can compete with them and also the “chewy, charcoal-black mini-footballs stuffed with pork” as he describes it. Wells, recognizes the precision and discipline in the kitchen of this restaurant by observing the art of craft the do with their dishes, something that has rarely been seen in the Chinese restaurants in the city.
It is not common to see high end Chinese cuisine restaurants in the city, Hutong not only brings a more fine version of it, but they have really mastered the art of Chinese cuisine.
