The Hottest New Restaurants and Food Carts in Portland, November 2024

"Golden, miniature cow sculptures, perhaps macabrely stacked with rolls of wagyu beef, land at tables at this new Bethany Chinese restaurant, which is quickly becoming one of the area’s strongest options for Chongqing-style tableside hot pot. Broth options include versions with the tingle of Sichuan peppercorn and the richness of bone marrow, plus the tangy chicken and pickled mustard green-based broth. The restaurant offers a wide range of add-ins, including house-made noodles, seafood, Berkshire pork, quail eggs, offal, and several different cuts of beef; hot pot connoisseurs will appreciate the assortment of dipping sauces as the condiment bar." - Eater Staff
