Luthun

What an amazing birthday dinner. Got to sit at the chefs counter for this tasting menu. Such a unique menu with amazing drink pairings and choices. The sommelier was amazing working to explain each different wine or drink and truly wanted us to have a terrific experience. The Chef and his team are amazing! We have and will continue to share our praises of the team for an unforgettable experience. Every dish was delicious perfection in taste and presentation

Unfortunately I was massively disappointed by my dinner at Luthun. I’ve been to many prefix fine dining restaurants, and this was unjustifiably bad. Every dish lacked flavor, depth and any resemblance of creativity. In fact, every dish tasted the SAME. It was quite unbelievable and I kept hoping the dish was a miss and the next would be better, but that never happened. The staff was friendly but did not seem at all educated on the ingredients, including wine list. Really odd for a fine dining restaurant. Overall very bizarre that anyone found this experience worth the price.

Service: very friendly. Menu: they change every 2 weeks. It's around 9 course Highlights: The fusion of Italian and Mexican cuisine. very unique tastes. Seafood and cheese based dishes are outstanding. Can do better: 1️⃣wagyu beef is not cooked to perfection. The bottom part is really chewy 2️⃣course timing: I sat at the counter and at the beginning, food are served too fast. Dining tables open up for seating later in the night which caused relatively long waiting time for main courses to be ready for the counter. This is definitely Michelin standard but I think this place may win a Michelin star ⭐soon if they improve a bit. 3️⃣ Desserts are way too sweet I highly recommend this place as a non-expensive fine dining experience. You'll be gladly surprised

Luthun is one of the most underrated restaurants in New York!!! We ate here in July of 2023, ordering the 7 course tasting menu ($145 pp). Every bite was phenomenal, mixing delicious flavors, ingredients, and styles. Each course was technically impressive and incredibly delicious!! Some of our favorites were the saffron taco, the summer garden (a delicious combination of fresh produce), and the swordfish (with summer strawberries). We were so impressed by the kitchen's unique ability to integrate fresh, seasonal produce into every dish. We were fortunate enough to sit at the chef's counter and watch the team masterfully prepare every dish!! The team was kind and welcoming; the service was great as well!! We thought the price was very reasonable and left feeling quite full compared to other tasting menus. I highly recommend Luthun for an amazing culinary experience!!!

OMG - this place is amazing! We have eaten here six, yes six, times and they knock it out of the park every time. From raw fish dishes in salty, spicy sauces, to brown butter earthy morel mushrooms, to Octopus tacos in sesame leaf and rice wrappers -the creativity of the Chefs is just outstanding. We totally recommend the tasting bar, but if you want to save a few bucks and enjoy sitting at a table, it works just as well, albeit with fewer courses. Each meal starts with a Fushka (aka panipuri) filled with something salty, sour, sweet, spicy and simply complicated. It only proceeds from there with one flavor bomb after another, until you are ready for their famous sweet/salty desserts, which are a perfect closing to the rainbow of flavors still lingering in your mouth. Last, their somm Jahdea and manager Dorian are world-class and will welcome you like family and get you perfectly relaxed with quality beverages. Service like none other...
