"Beloved for its char siu, this modern Cantonese heavyweight proves that a simple roast can be transcendent." - Megan Spurrell, Arati Menon
"Finding the discreet entrance tucked beneath the Standard Chartered Bank Building in Central is part of the adventure at Mott 32, where region-spanning Chinese flavors meet theatrical presentation: at lunch I loved the pork siu mai stuffed with a runny quail's egg and topped with black truffle and the xiaolongbao with impossibly thin, silky wrappers, while dinner tables often order the signature Peking duck (pre-order at least 48 hours) roasted in a custom brick oven; the dramatic octagonal skylight, cozy train-car side rooms, and cocktails round out a stylish, memorable experience, and the barbecue prime Iberico pork is easily one of the city's best char sius." - Kate Springer, Janice Leung Hayes
"Named after 32 Mott Street, where New York City ’s first Chinese store opened in 1851, Hong Kong ’s 32 Mott restaurant honors traditions of Chinese cooking and ingredients. The must-trydish is the applewood-smoked Peking duck prepared in a custom-designed oven. Handmade dim sum reflects the restaurant’s focus on Cantonese and Szechuan cooking traditions. The cocktail menu takes advantage of the region’s unique flavors, from minty shiso leaves to star anise, cardamom, goji berries, and ginseng roots. The decor at 32 Mott, a union of a New York City– inspired industrial loft with elements of an elegant Chinese imperial palace, createsjust the right mood."
"Mott 32 was also part of the roster of notable restaurants at the resorts." - Susan Stapleton
"I noted that Mott 32, a restaurant at the Palazzo, continues operations despite the hotel-room closure." - Susan Stapleton
