Hutong Hú Tóng Xiǎo Jiǔ Guǎn

Really nice addition to Madison’s Asian food scene! The Dan Dan noodles are unlike anything you can get in Madison; it’s spicy but well balanced! Everything we tried on the menu was delicious and the service was friendly and professional! They do seem a bit short staffed though, as they are open for limited hours.

We were warned that the Dan Dan noodles would be spicy, and they were, but it was well worth it. Erin was a delight as our server and we had a great time. The patio has a great atmosphere too!

This is our first time eating out in Hutong. We ordered Dan Dan Noodles and Garlic green beans. Great food with great flavors and amazing taste! The Dan Dan Noodles are spicy. If I could rate the spice level 10 being max I would give them 7.5-8ish. I love spicy food so no complaints! Definitely cleared my sinuses. The green beans were nice crunchy. Great appetizer or a small plate. Potion size was good. The menu is not overwhelmingly long like other Chinese restaurants so that's nice especially when it's difficult to decide what to order. I would definitely go back again to dine in there. It's nice to have a good authentic Chinese restaurant in Madison without the need to travel to Chicago to satisfy your taste buds.

Hutong means an alleyway. This restaurant really isn 't in an alleyway but the idea is to signify a small restaurant that you 'd by happenstance. The outside is very nondescript but it is popping inside. Full tables with conversations in the air. The menu is small which is great. I find the giant Chinese menus to cause me paralysis by analysis. If you like spicy, get the DAN DAN noodles. The spicy beef noodle soup is also very good, and so is the garlic green beans. A glass of jasmine tea rounds out the meal. $60 with tips.

Absolutely delicious food with great service. The green beans and cold sesame noodles were amazing, but the true star of the meal was a chicken salad with garlic and oyster sauce served cold on sliced cucumbers. I would have licked the plate.
