There are many ways to experience Hutong New York, but if you’re looking for an effortless way to step into its world of spice, depth, and exquisite craftsmanship, the Emperor Menu is your invitation. Designed as a seamless introduction to the restaurant’s signature dishes, this prix-fixe experience guides guests through the layers of Northern Chinese cuisine, one carefully chosen course at a time.

At $65 per person, the Emperor Menu offers a thoughtfully curated selection: an appetizer, main course, side, and dessert—each dish crafted to engage the senses and leave a lasting impression.

An Invitation to Indulgence

The experience begins with a choice of appetizer, setting the stage for what’s to come. For those who prefer something warming and aromatic, the Vegetable Hot & Sour Soup is a perfect introduction, its tangy depth carrying just the right amount of heat. But for guests seeking something more decadent, the Scallop & Prawn Garlic Wontons are an exquisite choice—delicate dumplings filled with sweet seafood, coated in a glossy, fragrant chili sauce that lingers in the best way.

For something unexpected, the Seared Scallops with Spicy Soba Noodles offer contrast and complexity. The scallops, lightly caramelized on the outside and buttery within, are nestled over nutty sesame and tingling peppercorn-infused noodles—a dish that surprises and satisfies with every bite.

A Celebration of Northern Chinese Cooking

The heart of the Emperor Menu lies in its main courses, a collection of Hutong’s most celebrated dishes, each prepared with the precision and intensity that define its kitchen.

The Kung Po Prawns arrive glistening, infused with garlic, ginger, and the slow-building spice of Sichuan peppercorns. Their snap and sweetness are enhanced by julienned Chinese celery, adding a crisp bite to balance the richness.

For those drawn to deeper flavors, the Sanchen Chicken delivers a fragrant heat—tender fillets wok-fried with dried chilies, star anise, and cumin seeds, creating a dish that awakens the senses without overpowering them.

Then there’s the Steamed Chilean Sea Bass, a dish that feels almost effortless in its simplicity. Gently cooked to preserve its natural tenderness, the fish is bathed in a light, fragrant sauce of peppers and soy, allowing its clean, delicate flavors to shine.

For guests craving something richer, the Ma La Beef Tenderloin offers a completely different kind of indulgence. Here, premium beef is bathed in a sauce of black beans, whole red peppercorns, and Chinese celery, creating layers of warmth and umami. It’s an irresistible choice—deep, nuanced, and unforgettable.

The Finishing Touch

Every great meal deserves a memorable ending, and Hutong’s Emperor Menu delivers with a selection of desserts designed to intrigue and delight.

The Salted Grilled Corn Ice Cream is one of those unexpected pleasures—silky, creamy, and infused with the sweetness of grilled corn, balanced by the crunch of multi-grain granola and the buttery crumble of sablé breton. It’s nostalgic yet completely new, familiar but surprising in its execution.

For something classic, the Childhood Dessert layers vanilla riz au lait with dark maple granola, butterscotch, and finger lime, finished with a scoop of genmai ice cream—a dish that plays with texture and temperature, sweet with just a hint of citrusy brightness.
