"We had a very positive experience until the last half hour. The food was delicious and the service was attentive at the beginning, but once we’d finished our main courses it all started unravelling. For a restaurant this expensive, I’d expect them to clean the table properly before desserts, but there was still bits of rice everywhere when they handed over the dessert menu only one for five of us. The dessert menu was tiny only three options) and I got the distinct impression that they didn’t want us to stay for pudding at all they wanted us to leave so they could get someone else in and flog them some cocktails and a peking duck £110 for a whole one). As it was a special occasion we decided to have pudding anyway, but one pudding was missing and we were still eating when they brought the bill. It was my husband’s birthday and I saw other tables being brought special birthday desserts and we were not even though I had noted that we were there for a birthday celebration on the booking. When we finally got the special pudding it was swept away from us while we were still eating it and I had to ask for it to be returned. I get that they have a time limit on tables. If a restaurant can serve me a three course meal in a seamless relaxed way in two hours then that’s fine, but Hutong proved that they couldn’t. When the bill was almost £600 it was annoying to be asked to pay it before I had finished eating. I won’t hurry to return."

"Tonight I had one of my worst experience with Chinese food so far and as an Asian, I’ve tried quite a few Chinese restaurants around the world. This one is way overrated!! The best thing about it is the location, right at the entrance of China town. The second best thing is that they serve your dishes pretty fast despite the crowd. We ordered 4 dishes and the only one acceptable was dimsum. Btw for dinner they didn’t have all the choices for dimsum and the “night menu” ones are more expensive than regular ones. I don’t know their difference though as I ordered dimsum assortiment (8 pieces) from Hot appetisers instead. Our 3 other dishes were total failures: Spare ribs with sambal sauce were too dry; Baked salted chicken was half-cooked and Fried rice with seafood and meat DID NOT HAVE ANY TASTE, like they didn’t even season it with salt. Overall I was very disappointed, in total we paid £62.5 for two people which was not worth at all. I really didn’t understand why people queue to eat here!"

"My partner and I decided to try this restaurant for dinner one evening, as we live nearby. When we arrived, our table wasn't ready, so we were directed to sit at the bar. Unfortunately, our experience at the bar was subpar - it took a long time to place our order and our drinks never arrived. We were looking forward to enjoying them at the bar, which offers a lovely view of Kensington Gardens. Once we were seated at our table, the service improved significantly. The waitstaff were great and attentive. The standout of the evening, however, was the food. The dishes were truly amazing and stole the show. The ambiance of the restaurant was also pleasant. Despite the initial hiccup at the bar, I would still give this restaurant 5 stars. It's possible that we just arrived during a busy time for the bar. I would definitely consider dining here again!"

"I had a fantastic meal at this restaurant. The Cantonese cuisine was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. The location was also convenient. I highly recommend trying their fried noodles and BBQ pork belly with rice."
