Hunan Bistro 湘缘

Absolutely outstanding Hunan cuisine! The flavors were delightful and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. The service was exceptionally friendly as well. Among the dishes, the beef rice noodles stood out for their tender texture and delicious beef broth, while the mashed pepper/eggplant with preserved eggs absorbed so much flavor. The ground pork with mustard and the smoked pork and bamboo shoot dry pot were also standout dishes. Overall, every dish were super aromatic, and with so many more menu items to explore, I'm looking forward to returning for more.

Definitely authentic Hunan Cuisine. We ordered the fish( definitely order the whole fish as it is fresh), sticky tofu( it is crispy and flavorful), dried beef pot. Everything is so good that we are definitely going to back to try more!

The table sign for ordering was visibly dirty. The food was okay, but the service was nonexistent. The food took a long time to arrive, but since it’s a holiday, I can understand the delay. The worst part was the female server who inexplicably came over and asked if we wanted to pay the bill, as if rushing us to leave. This is the first time I’ve encountered a server who pushes guests out like that. I’m giving 2 stars just for the food.

4/8/2024: Today’s food was a tad salty. The cumin lamb was nothing special. Steamed fish overdone. The tiger peppers they didn’t bother to deseed this time 😂 Service still great, place still clean. 2/2024: Incredible meal 🐟 🪷 Location is longer walk on Wentworth from the square but my goodness what a gem 💎 Loved the 中国风setting also. Steamed Weever 清蒸鲈鱼 was perfect with the light touch of soy, just tender meat, julienned green onion and ginger for the best balance… no cilantro 🌿 which is so important to not rob the fish of its flavors. Lotus 藕夾 Root Box is childhood fav with a bit of heavy batter but quite tasty nonetheless. Tigger pepper 虎皮青椒was playing roulette with our taste buds. Some of it was sooo spicy 🥵😂 夫妻肺片Beef shank cold dish was loaded with cilantro 🌿 to offset the numbing spice which was delish. Great attentive servers who were quite friendly. Ordering via iPad was also quite convenient. Payment is by server only. Give it a try… U R Welcome 🤗

Looking for spicy and hot dishes then you found the right place. We tried the spicy stir-fry chicken and garlic crayfish to find both the right amount of spicy and heat. I would recommend anyone attending a conference to try it out.
