Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

High Pricing

Some diners felt the pricing was too high, including one who described the Peking duck as costing more than $250.

Small Portions

Portions can feel conservative for the price, so sharing several dishes may be necessary for a fuller meal.

The Bottom Line

Hutong Dubai is a polished Northern Chinese restaurant in DIFC where the food is designed to be shared and the setting does plenty of the talking. Start with dim sum or the vegetarian dumpling platter, then consider the Peking duck; reviewers also single out the flaming half duck, duck fried rice and matcha chocolate dessert. The strongest pattern is attentive, well-informed service.

Staff are often praised for explaining dishes and keeping an eye on tables without hovering. The restaurant’s moody interiors, red lanterns and wishing tree create a memorable backdrop, while the terrace has views towards the Museum of the Future. Valet parking is another practical advantage, with reviews mentioning three complimentary hours.

There are a few things to weigh up. Portions can be measured, and several diners consider the pricing high; one reported paying $250+ for the Peking duck, while another paid 1500aed for a meal with starters, half duck, dessert, cocktails and water. The room can also become noisy when music and drumming build, and one review found the décor less distinctly Chinese than expected.

For better value, check the business lunch or unlimited dim sum offers, and book ahead if you have your heart set on duck.
