Hunan Bistro湘知湘味（Houston） in Houston

A small restaurant with about 8 tables seating 4 to 8 people each.  The ambiance is pleasant and good for a date or family dinner.  We got: 1. The Tofu Seafood- excellent all around dish. Everyone enjoyed it and it was the first one to be finished. 2. Garlic fish filets pieces over Napa cabbage in wok HEI flavored garlic sauce- absolutely delicious! Perfect for people who need some veggies in their meal. 3. Green beans with dry chilies and green onions - very flavorful for such a simple dish. 4. Crispy fried thinly sliced intestines with chillies- spicy hot crispy intestines that my daughter raves about.  It's definitely an acquired taste! Even though my husband and I are not into it, we tried a few after seeing her go at it.  Very well seasoned and crispy! We went back for more. Lol. Warning though- does not taste good when it's cold! 5. Kung Pao Chicken- if you've had the original back in the day, you know it's a white garlic sauce. Theirs is just soy sauce. So we couldn't sync with it. So out of the five dishes, four were fabulous! That's an excellent rate of happiness for trying out new dishes at a new restaurant! The service was a bit slow since only 2 wai...

The food was good, but the service was terrible!!! Rude Rude waitresses!

I'm often traveling for work and Houston is the destination that I travel to the most. I often book my hotel in the Westchase neighborhood and wanted to explore all the Asian restaurants in the area. Since I've been on a strict diet, I looked for places that have tofu dishes and Hunan Bistro was my pick. When I arrived around 5:30 pm there were plenty of tables and I was asked my drink order immediately. I cheated on my diet and ordered egg rolls because they are my favorite. They came out piping hot with a light sweet and sour sauce on the side. I demolished all of them. They were good but definitely not the best egg rolls I've ever had. I ordered the Sizzling Seafood Egg Tofu for the main course. It definitely came to the table sizzling. Egg tofu is much softer than the firm tofu that you might be expecting so set your expectations before ordering this dish. The hot oil gave a buttery flavor to all the food. I found the shiitake mushrooms in the dish to be delicious and I don't often eat mushrooms. A great portion for the price. The servers are not awesome at refilling your drink but quickly will if you ask. My total was a little over $20 and with tip about $25. They don't take American Express but all other major credit cards. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.
