I was looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant and ended up discovering Hutong. The place is amazing as it is nestled cozily inside DIFC with an amazing view of Musem of Future.
The staff is very friendly and for those who worry about parking, there is a 3hr valet parking available.
The food was sublime. We tried the truffle mushroom Bao, Kou shui chicken, rice noodles with scallops, Wagyu millefeuille, and Ma la (dessert). From start to end, each and every dish was perfectly sumptuous. There was a unique character for every dish we tried, and we really enjoyed it.
Similar to these dishes, if you are a vegetarian, I can also vouch for the Mapo tofu and their oyster mushroom, which had tried earlier.
If you are planning a date night, Hutong is a perfect option. Also, book your table in advance to avoid waiting.
