Northern Dim Sum Tasting Menu
US$98.00 per person
8 Oct 2024 - 31 Dec 2024
Hutong has reimagined dim sum, traditionally a Southern Chinese delicacy, by infusing it with the bold flavors of Northern China. As innovators, we’ve incorporated ingredients like lamb, cumin, wild mushrooms, and garlic, bringing the heart of Northern cuisine into every bite. Dim sum, meaning ‘touch of heart,’ now carries a piece of our chefs’ passion to you—a touch of heart from the North. https://www.hutong-nyc.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/HT_NY_NDS_241008.pdf

Everything from the food to the service was splendid. I couldn’t have went to a better restaurant. The only thing I would take away from this experience was the music. It was loud and not in a good way. Overall, I was very satisfied.

A bit disappointed with the food: for the price, I was expecting something a lot better. Nothing special with the dimsum appetizer, actually a bit bland and so were the condiments. Dim sum in Chinatown is so much better! While the dimsum was bland, their mapo tofu was blazingly hot so we hardly touched it. Talk about extremes. Had peking duck - ok, nothing to write home about. Overall - quite disappointed!
