Hutong Miami, located at 600 Brickell Avenue, offers a vibrant Chinese dining experience. The restaurant interior is a blend of traditional Chinese elements and modern design, featuring antique bricks from a 1930s Chinese building and hand-carved wooden lattice screens. These authentic touches are complemented by vivid pop-art colors, creating a chic and sophisticated atmosphere.
The menu showcases a fusion of contemporary Chinese cuisine, with dishes ranging from dim sum to signature offerings like the Flaming Peking Duck. We started with the traditional salad. We then ordered the Dim Sum Dumplings Platter which consisted of 2 pieces of prawn and black truffle, 2 pieces of wild mushroom & spinach, 2 pieces of mahi mahi and 2 pieces of Sichuan peppercorn prawns. All four of the dumplings were very flavorful, however we all agreed that the prawn and black truffle was the best one. We then had the yu xiang crispy pork dumplings, we all enjoyed them and thought they were full of flavor. We followed that up with prawn & scallop wontons, which were served in a mouth watering sauce. We very much enjoyed them. For the main entrée we had half of the Peking duck with pancakes which is served in two stages. The first stage is the traditional serving of the Peking duck with the pancakes and the second serving is chopped up meat meat with lettuce leaf cups. The meat was extremely tender and seasoned very well. Complimenting the duck we ordered the rice vermicelli which is thin pasta wok tossed with seasonal vegetables. One can order them spicy or regular. We elected to try the spicy noodles and very much enjoyed them. The service throughout the night was superb!
In addition to its culinary offerings, Hutong Miami features a bar and terrace where patrons can enjoy cocktails. The ambiance is further enhanced by a captivating light show on a 3D art installation, adding to the overall dining experience.
Overall, Hutong Miami provides a unique blend of authentic Northern Chinese flavors within a contemporary and stylish setting, making it a notable dining destination in the Brickell area.
