Hutong has one of the BEST views in Hong Kong.
When I stop to think about it, this trip to Asia was really planned around eating.
My friend and I saw "Hutong" on Trip Advisor and both decided it was worth a visit
after seeing what a killer view it had:

While it's a buffet (HK + Sichuan cuisine), you can order one "made-to-order" dish from the menu.
There's also a few items you could order as an add-on if you are super hungry. The Shrimp and Pork Belly entrees we picked was so delicious! Even though I am a small eater, I am pretty sure I got my money's worth on the Champagne alone. Service was super attentive and the view is just spectacular despite not having a window table. Though in a way it worked out great because we were seated almost right next to the performers.

 My faithful travel buddy sitting pretty at Hutong. | Originally, we had planned to visit at night time when the Hong Kong light show starts at 8pm so we could eat and watch. But unfortunately, the restaurant was closed for a private function the night we could go. So we took the next best option and made a reservation for their Sunday Brunch instead. We were very surprised once we arrived. The manager on duty was super nice -- very flirty to my friend but at least it seemed like he was that way to all of the other female patrons. Hutong was one of the most memorable experiences in Hong Kong. We planned it as a leeway into our Beijing Trip the week after (where we actually stayed in a "Hutong" or alleyway). With the traditional Chinese furniture and music, it makes you really feel like you are truly in China. We chose the buffet with unlimited Champagne option for $598 HKD + 10% service charge (~$86 USD). If you opt out of the beverage options, the buffet is actually $398 HKD + service charge (~$58 USD ). The Champagne package also includes unlimited wines and cocktails but I was happy with bottomless Veuve Clicquot Brut which they kept refiling like a ninja. |
What really surprised us was that Sunday Brunch came with free traditional Chinese entertainment. There was a noodle master, and an ever-changing mask dancer (who interacted with the crowd). It seems sometimes they have a tea master also. If you have the chance, I highly recommend a visit since the stunning view will give you a better idea of where everything is situated in HK.
 When it's time to pay, this is how your bill arrives.  Hutong wishing tree. | Why do I recommend Hutong? - Wonderful service and very friendly staff (table side + their willingness to help you take group pictures with their performers). I find the service a departure from most of HK (where they are super cold and could care less).

This buffet is a bargain when compared to their dinner service where one bottle of Veuve Clicquot
will run you more than the cost of the lunch buffet alone.
But if dinner is more to your liking, here is their menu. Though keep in mind there is a per person minimum
charge of $400 HKD ($52 USD). Please check with restaurant for current pricing.
Have a look at the full Feng Wei Brunch menu. The Hutong buffet is open from Noon- 3 pm, every Sunday.
