"Hutong is the first US outpost for the Hong Kong-based Aqua Restaurant Group. The restaurant, located in the former Le Cirque space, specializes in Northern Chinese cuisine with a contemporary spin. The interior is inspired by Art Deco design, and the menu features both classic dishes and items exclusive to New York City, such as wagyu beef cheek mille-feuille and Yu Xiang fried dumplings. The bar also serves substantial snacks and cocktails inspired by the food. Hutong aims to use local produce and offers a menu that differentiates itself from other Chinese culinary offerings in the city." - Abbe Baker
