Hutaoli

This was a spontaneous night. I had a great time. The live music was great and I loved the overall design of the place. The food was yummy. I really enjoyed the fried rice and the drinks were delicious and strong. I really enjoyed the appetizers and would definitely return again.

Unfortunately, I can only give 3 star at the best. The food was ordinarily good. The decoration was the main reason I would not go again. The entire restaurant is filled with cheap plastic greens, paper charms and dusty wine rack deviders. It looks cheap, noisy and dirty. During a weekday peak lunch time in Manhattan, the restaurant was empty and our dishes were not hot enough to feel they were freshly cooked.

Great atmosphere and space here, well thought out and a large menu with lots of choices! Enjoyed the Mopu Tofu with green tea in this cold winter air. It was listed as 2 peppers of spice. It is the kind of spice that builds up in a good way - just be warned. Could have gone down a level but the rice helped balance it out. Would definitely go back to try more dishes.

The food is delicious, there is live music, the place is great

The food tastes so so. I was very disappointed with the cook. Great live music , excellent singer, pairing with garbage food. What a bad experience!

The worst experience! We booked a table for the night and when we arrived the lobby was full of people waiting for seats. People had been waiting for more than an hour even though they had a reservation. The manager was so incompetent! She was just wandering around in the restaurant instead of actually managing the floor. She also told people if you didn’t wanna wait, you can just leave. Literally the worst experience.
