Hunan Bistro is a cozy new addition to the Bethel area, and you can tell a lot of care went into creating a warm and inviting space, the team was friendly, and the service was good - they're clearly working hard as they settle into their flow.
We tried a large variety of their skewers, which were tasty, tender, and fresh. They offer a great range of options, and the table warmers are such a nice touch - everything stays hot while you graze your way through each bite.
The torn cabbage ended up being one of my favorites of the night: simple, flavorful, and surprisingly addictive.
The beef noodle soup was okay. I think it might've been a timing issue - the noodles came out broken and overcooked, and the broth was on the lighter side, though they were very generous with the beef. A splash of black vinegar would've added a punch to the beefiness , but the dish still had good elements.
The egg drop soup with dumplings was a new try for us; found the dumplings absorb all the broth leaving the soup creamy and a bit sweeter than I imagined it would be . More reminiscent of tomato sauce with eggs .
Overall, Hunan Bistro has a lot of potential. The cozy interior, friendly service, and several standout dishes make it a place worth watching. They're still settling into their groove, and I'm looking forward to coming back again.
We noticed every table had the fried rice and traditional egg drop soup , should probably add those to the must try list next visit !!! read more
