A restaurant for extremely large parties. Serves all its dishes in family style portions. The spaghetti with meatballs is easily enough for 10. Pizza is excellent here too, especially the quartofino pizza or something. Its rolled up and very tasty. With the right number of people, this restaurant is not too expensive, and good food can be had by all. Some dishes must be avoided because they do not have the depth of spicing and flavor that would be expected in a higher end restaurant, but be aware that this is not really a high end restaurant - just a place with big plates.

Outback Corp.'s high end Italian location. not really much of a chain. This location on Kirby is very busy, and serves excellent foods. As is standard with outback corp., you get a lot of food with a 15-20 dollar entre. Steaks here are very well prepared with excellent searing, and many of the seafood offerings are very good, though have small servings. Nice atmosphere seems festive and warm. Good place for thingytails too. Visit Houston Asian Restaurants Guide for more reviews.

Thai Spice has a great lunch buffet with various selections of chicken, fried rice and pad thai amongst other dishes. It's priced reasonably and has a pleasant atmosphere: simple, not too noisy. On a really nice day, you can sit outside on the balcony and view the cars going by while eating. Don't forget the sunglasses! Visit Houston Thai Restaurants for more reviews.

Spectacular 1920's high-times atmosphere. Dress up for better treatment. Steaks and Lobsters are excellent, but dont overlook the interesting fusion dishes - they're cheaper, and really good too. Excellent for important occasions, and also incredibly expensive for some hard-to-find items. They have 3-4 lb. lobster TAILS for 60+ dollars. waiter serves only your table and no one else. excellent service. Top recommendation of all restaurants on a list of best restaurants in Houston. Many standard dishs around 20-35 dollars, but you can totally splurge on the 10 lb lobster too. Cigar lounge. The benchmark for other high end steakhouses in this FAQ.

Often overlooked though excellent Japanese establishment. Habachi service is good, though the chef that I saw wasnt particularly spectacular. Theres something about Habachi that makes you expect so much more than what it actually is, but that aside, the chef was excellent. Meat was well cooked, and the slightly trendy though comfortable surroundings were smoke free and private. Excellent for lunches too, with reasonably priced 8-10 dollar lunches and sushi/sashimi plates. BRILLIANT specialty rolls: very creative, artistic, and well presented. Would be a top recommendation just for its rolls, but excellent in all places. Lunch can be had for less than 10 dollars if careful, 15 easily.

Atmosphere is slightly hectic, because this place is so incredibly popular. Servers running around with gigantic skewers of meat. huge salad bar - it doesnt LOOk so big, but its "T" shaped, and very broad, with many many items. Very expensive - standard cost is 50-60 dollars, and they charge for water. Probably a little too costly for the overall quality and experience, but definitely should be tried once. They serve amazing little cylindrical crusty pastries filled with a fine melted white cheese. Very nice, until you realize its probably the most evil means of filling you up. Meats were good, but perhaps so many red meats get repetitive. More authentic rodizio style "brazillian bbq" places have fish and other seafoods, but this is strictly poultry, pork, and beef. Potentially long waits on weekends/fri. Visit Houston Asian Restaurants Guide for more restaurant reviews.

The first review was pretty accurate when I first visited Yao Restaurant soon after it opened. I saw their review on Houston Chinese Restaurant Guide . I've since been back 4 or 5 times and I must say that they have worked all kinks out of the system, from the kitchen to the service. The food is quite good (Peking duck highly recommended), and the ambiance excellent. If you’re looking to make you taste buds smile and enjoy a great atmosphere, this is your place, but if you're looking for a bargain mean, try a Hungry Man in the frozen food department of your local grocery. Visit www.chinatownconnection.com/restaurant.htm for more restaurant reviews in Houston. They even have restaurant menus in addition to pics, reviews, and all the information you ever need.

I ate at Noodle House today and found it to be a very good place to have Chinese food. Of all of the Chinese Restaurants in Houston out there , you might ask why is this place better? Well, they have lunch specials daily for under $4. There lunch meals include a plum tea drink and hot and sour soup. For instance, today there was a special on sizzling iron black pepper steak for $6.95. The special was you buy 2 of these and you get the third free. So I ate with someone and I have a take home lunch for tomorrow. One good deal if anyone knows about this dish.

Vietnamese Dining Guide: Pho Bui

The food is absolutely delicious, for anyone who's had authentic vietnamese food, knows what I'm talking about. But this place is different from all the other Pho restaurants I've ever been to. The service is friendly and fast. The place is so clean and decorated with beautiful paintings and artwork. The menu is also extensive and inexpensive!! You will definitely enjoy an experience here unlike any other Pho noodle place.

Tea.Cafe in Houston
Houston Dining Guide

Tea Cafe is on the corner of Diho plaza. On the outside Tea Cafe has a few tables and chairs set up under the shade, for those who like to hang out with their friends. Inside the store, you will see it is very nicely decorated. From the uniform golden oak table and chairs to the classical Chinese style teapot display on the wall and almond color curtain with the red lantern hanging on the side, this place is culturally balanced. The bubble tea tastes perfect, and the size of the drink is bigger than its competitors. I give it two thumbs up! Houston Chinatown Web Portal
