Bowen Bistro

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I'm continually blown away by the quality of the food and service. Chef Bowen has created a unique and accessible menu, and you can clearly see his passion, care, and attention to detail. His love for food is honestly inspiring! Whether you like American or Asian food there's something on the menu you'll like, and the service is always friendly and fast. This is a great place for dates, dining with friends and family you want to impress, or just for treating yourself. Bowen Bistro is hands-down the best restaurant in Greater Lafayette. There's nowhere like it.

A fantastic dining experience within walking distance of campus. We ordered the dumplings, New York strip, and an eel dish and they all were top notch. Can’t wait to visit as an alum and eat here again.

We have wanted to come here for a while, but have been unable to. We decided to get take out today and see if the food tasted as good as it looked and we were not disappointed. If the service, care, detail and delicate nature always is better when you dine in vs. take out, I can honestly say that I do not know how this food could be any better.nnThis food was amazing, the steak I got was perfectly cooked, amazing sear and incredibly tender. Lobster bisque was delicious and perfect, along with everything else we got tonight. I can not wait for our economic situation to get close to normal to enjoy everything inside the actual establishment.nnThank you for your skill, service, and drive.

Gave this place try while we were in town. The scotch egg had a nice change from your typical scotch egg. The price was a little steep but it was a pretty big helping, enough to share with 2-4 people.nnThe salads need some work though. I am a huge fan of Caesars, but most likely wouldn't order it again. Dressing needs a more lift along with the croutons which could be made to order only takes a little time to heat and makes a big difference in my opinion. Overall it wasn't bad just would like to see a little more to this dish.nnThe wedge was much better but I would recommend to throw some pork belly that's been renders/crisped or some type of crispy bacon, could do a brown sugar one to help with the goronazola and you would have a really good salad.nnThe steak was very good one of the better ones I've had. I would specifically come back to get that strip steak. One improvement surprisingly (not the salsa which went well with the steak) is the removal of the asparagus or at least put a spin on it.nnWould I return: yes it is definitely worth going back.

Amazing restaurant! Service was amazing! Relaxed and brushed. Plenty of time to rest between courses without feeling like I was waiting too long. Chef Bowen was so friendly! My lobster bisque and truffle seafood linguine was delicious! I tried my husband salmon and it literally melted! The deserts are beautiful and just as tasty! We will definitely be back!
