"It's f***in good." Run by the same family as Hai Ky, but definitely a more ethnic restaurant feel, larger menu, hot pots, really good pho.

Again, can't remember the name, but the menu is super unique and there's always something new to try. Nice tables with awning cover outside. Totally different from most taco joints.

Classic. Total dive. Super sketchy block. I am not a Texas BBQ connoisseur, but several people have said this place is the bomb. If you're NOT a BBQ snob, then you'll probably love it.

Yeah, it's a Denny's. It ain't kerbey lane or magnolia. I have a soft spot, what can I say? Guilty pleasure - corporate restaurants that serve gimmicky sizzling plates in skillets. Open 24 hours.

I hate to put this under sightseeing but it's really a sight to see. Crazy hispanic mall with the usual suspects, but more important is the weekend flea market. AMAZING.
