While the name has its roots in New York – 32 Mott Street was the address of New York’s first Chinese grocery shop – the restaurant uses premium ingredients from around the world and infuses them with quintessentially Chinese flavours.

Situated at the bottom of a winding staircase within the Standard Chartered Bank Building, the sleek industrial interiors and exposed brick walls add to the ambience, accented by a statement wall filled with calligraphy pens.

Menu highlights include the restaurant’s signature applewood-roasted Peking duck, for which pre-orders are a requirement, and a succulent, honey-glazed Iberico pork pluma.
