Viral Soup Dumpling Lasagna Recipe 🥟
If you love soup dumplings, you need to try this layered soup dumpling lasagna. It combines all the juicy, savory flavors of classic Chinese dumplings with an easy, steamed lasagna-style technique. 

Ingredients
	•	8–10 oz minced pork
	•	4–5 shiitake mushrooms, finely diced
	•	1/2 cup cabbage, finely diced
	•	1 tsp ginger, minced or grated (plus slivers for topping)
	•	1 tsp garlic, minced or grated
	•	2 tsp green onion, chopped (reserve some for topping)
	•	1 tbsp soy sauce
	•	1 tbsp cooking wine
	•	1 tsp oyster sauce
	•	1/2 tsp chicken bouillon
	•	1 tsp sesame oil
	•	1/2 tsp sugar
	•	1/2 tsp white pepper
	•	Water
	•	1 package wonton wrappers (Hong Kong–style preferred)
	•	Optional: chili garlic crunch

Directions
	1.	Combine all filling ingredients in a bowl and mix well by hand. Reserve some green onion and ginger for garnish.
	2.	In a 4-oz ramekin (this recipe makes about 4), alternate layers of pork mixture and wonton wrappers.
	3.	Add water until the wonton wrappers are fully submerged.
	4.	Steam over medium-high heat for 15 minutes.
	5.	Remove immediately, top with green onion and ginger, and enjoy hot. Add chili garlic crunch if you want heat.

Notes
	•	Assemble ahead, but add water only right before steaming.
	•	Best eaten immediately to keep the dumpling wrappers silky, not mushy.
	•	Extra filling can be folded into wontons and cooked separately.

Is this the Best Peking Duck in Houston? 

Finally made it to Maison Chinoise in the River Oaks Shopping Center and their Peking duck is pretty amazing -- crispy skin, moist, tender meat, great flavor —I definitely approve. At $98 for the whole bird, it’s a splurge but the chef comes from the Wing Lei in Las Vegas (first Chinese restaurant to get Michelin stars in 2005) so the math works. Also, they don’t have room at the restaurant to carve it table-side but there’s an open window into the kitchen where you can watch them carve it (ask your server to give you a heads up before they start carving). 

Aside from the Peking duck, you can expect upscale American-style Chinese in a stunning, dress-to-impress setting: dim sum, General Tso’s, wagyu, truffle fried rice. It’s got “date night” and “girls’ night” energy all at once.

If you love Chinese food and you’re ready for a night out that feels a little extra, give Maison Chinoise a try. Cocktails leaned a little sweet for my taste but service was excellent. Reservations can also be a bit hard to get for peak times.

Looking for the best bánh mì in Houston? 🥖

I tried 6 bánh mì sandwiches at The Banh Mi Company on Bellaire Blvd, and my favorites were the No. 1 Crispy Pork Belly and the No. 6 Cold Cut Combo with xíu mại meatballs.

They bake their bread fresh daily and make their own crispy pork belly, char siu, and xíu mại in-house. Every sandwich is generously filled, packed with flavor, and most are just $5.75–$6.75.

If you’re craving authentic Vietnamese food in Houston or searching for a hidden gem in Houston’s Asiatown, this spot is worth the visit.

𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝒊𝒏 𝑯𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏: 𝑺𝒖𝒔𝒉𝒊 𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒖𝒄𝒉𝒊

Sushi Horiuchi may be the most exciting restaurant to ever open in Houston. Certainly, it’s one of the most exclusive.

Eponymously named for chef Manabu Horiuchi, or Hori-san, it’s a six-seat omakase with just one seating per night. After shaping Houston’s sushi scene with Kata Robata and Katami, this is the final restaurant he plans to open before retirement, and it feels thoughtful rather than flashy.

The experience runs about 21 courses, moving from warm and cold starters to sashimi, nigiri, and dessert. Ingredients are sourced seasonally from Japan, and there are numerous “wow” moments throughout the meal. The setting is intimate but relaxed. He makes you feel as if you’ve been welcomed into his home. 

Reservations are already sold out for the month, with just six new seats released each day, so it’ll be difficult to secure, but absolutely worth the effort. At $300 per person, with an optional sake pairing, this is the closest you’ll get to Japan without boarding a plane. Easily on par with the best omakase experiences anywhere, and one Houston should be very proud of.

This might be the closest you can get to Japan without leaving Houston.

Kaiten Sushi Ginza Onodera brings the fun of Japanese conveyor belt sushi to Houston, with sushi, sashimi and handrolls arriving right at your table.

The Ginza Onodera restaurant group is also known for its Michelin-starred sushi concept in Tokyo, making the quality here especially notable.

Right now, the Tokyo Summer menu features a bluefin tuna flight, handroll flight, scallop sushi and engawa sushi, available through the end of August.

The sushi rice is excellent, the fish is generously cut, and the quality for the price is impressive. The conveyor belt makes the experience especially fun. For me, the best conveyor belt sushi you can find in Houston.

New Premium Korean BBQ in Houston 🔥

Taste of Korea brings a premium, à la carte Korean BBQ experience to Chinatown. Here, USDA Prime cuts with serious marbling—bone-in short rib, prime beef short ribs, beef tongue, and marinated LA galbi—are all grilled tableside to perfection.

This isn’t all-you-can-eat. It’s all about quality over quantity. The boneless prime short rib was so good, we ordered it twice. Prices range from $28-$59 a la carte for prime beef cuts, so expect to pay about $40-$50 per person for beef. They also had pork and chicken in the $35 price range. You can get combos as well, but we like what we like so we order a la carte. 

Your table gets a full banchan spread with 12+ rotating and refillable side dishes with all orders. Their haemul pajeon seafood pancake was also good, if you want more than the banchan. 

There’s also great updraft ventilation (so you don’t leave smelling like the grill). Service is attentive, and the space is clean, spacious and modern. For me, easily one of the best Korean BBQ spots in Houston right now.

If you’re looking for high-quality Korean BBQ in Houston Chinatown, check it out!

✨Houston’s  No. 1 Restaurant✨

I get the daal + chicken lollipops to start, then the famous grilled goat chops and goat peshwari karahi. If you want something milder, try the fish tikka masala with garlic naan. Huge menu, great prices, and everything is made for sharing — bring friends and feast!

Best Thai Food and Boat Noodles in Houston?🍜

My Thai friend insisted I try Me Khun in Katy, and after one bite, I understood why. This family-owned restaurant is run by a husband-and-wife team who both attended culinary school in Thailand, and it shows in every dish that comes out of the kitchen.

The boat noodles are the star of the show, but don’t stop there. The shrimp fritters were plump and crispy, the grilled pork skewers with sticky rice were juicy and packed with flavor, the crispy pork belly was insane, not to mention their whole steamed fish, pad woon sen, pork jowl, corn salad, coconut egg souffle, and mango sticky rice. Seriously. SO GOOD!

On Google it has a near perfecf 4.9 rating and I hear the lunch always packed! This is a true hidden gem, one most authentic Thai restaurants I’ve found in the Houston area approved by my Thai friends, so show them some love and get there before they get discovered. This place the real deal.

Here’s how to score 50% off pizza and booze at a Michelin-rated restaurant in Houston. 🍕✨

Rosie Cannonball, a Michelin Bib Gourmand for the last two years, runs a reverse happy hour from 9–10pm, Tuesday through Sunday where pizza and booze gets slashed in half.

That means pizzas for $10–12 and cocktails for $7–8 instead of the usual full-price hit. A little late-night magic, a lot of savings.

Now you know. You’re welcome. 😉

Pinkerton’s BBQ, a Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient, has opened a new location on Shepherd in the former 59 Diner space, making it even easier for those in Upper Kirby, Montrose, and River Oaks to enjoy craft Texas barbecue inside the loop.

Expect favorites like giant beef ribs, brisket with a pronounced bark, pulled pork, and pork ribs. Sides include okra and tomatoes, honey slaw, and beef tallow fries. We visited during the week and there was no wait, with ample on-site parking available.

Best dim sum in Houston? 🥟 

Crown Seafood in Houston’s Chinatown made my recent guide to the best dim sum restaurants in Houston for The Infatuation. But not everything on the menu is equally good, so here’s exactly what I recommend ordering, as well as what I’d skip.

WHAT TO ORDER AT CROWN SEAFOOD:
✅ Giant stuffed crab claw — it’s  almost as big as my face
✅ Siu mai
✅ Crispy shrimp balls
✅ Stuffed tofu
✅ Jalapeños stuffed with shrimp

WHAT’S JUST OK:
- Har gow
- Cheung fun
- Ham sui gok
- Steamed Chinese broccoli
- Egg tarts

WHAT TO SKIP:
❌ Xiao long bao — you can definitely find better soup dumplings in Houston, and it’s not a Cantonese specialty so skip these

Crown Seafood is an excellent Houston dim sum restaurants for large groups and family gatherings because the dining room is MASSIVE. There aren’t traditional push carts here. You order dim sum from a picture menu, and your dishes are brought to the table on carts, but I like this because your food comes out piping hot from the kitchen.

✨New location: Ramen Tatsuya ✨ 🍜

Ramen Tatsuya just opened its second Houston location at Town & Country Village, bringing their Austin-born  tonkotsu broth to the west side. Known for rich, properly simmered pork broth (the old-school way—no shortcuts), this mini chain gets the fundamentals right.

What we ordered: crisp house salad, spicy chili gyoza, spicy miso ramen, and tsukemen dipping noodles. The broth is solid, the gyoza delivers, and while longtime fans may notice the updated tsukemen broth (I did), it’s still a solid bowl. Bonus points for the bold, graphic interiors and oversized rope lanterns—fun, energetic, and very on brand for Tatsuya.

If you’re craving ramen and don’t want to trek into the city, this one hits!

✨New location: Ramen Tatsuya ✨ 🍜 Ramen Tatsuya just opened its second Houston location at Town & Country Village, bringing their Austin-born tonkotsu broth to the west side. Known for rich, properly simmered pork broth (the old-school way—no shortcuts), this mini chain gets the fundamentals right. What we ordered: crisp house salad, spicy chili gyoza, spicy miso ramen, and tsukemen dipping noodles. The broth is solid, the gyoza delivers, and while longtime fans may notice the updated tsukemen broth (I did), it’s still a solid bowl. Bonus points for the bold, graphic interiors and oversized rope lanterns—fun, energetic, and very on brand for Tatsuya. If you’re craving ramen and don’t want to trek into the city, this one hits! 📍 Ramen Tatsuya – Town & Country 600 W Sam Houston Pkwy N, unit 605, Houston, TX 77024 👉 Save this spot for your next ramen run! #HoustonRamen #RamenTatsuya #TownAndCountryHouston
✨New Japanese-Latin Restaurant✨

Houston has a brand-new Japanese–Latin restaurant to put on your must-try list. Last week I was invited to preview the menu at Casa Kenji, featuring a 9-course “somakase” (server-led omakase) that showcased everything from oysters and crudos to tempura, sushi, and wood-fired vegetables.

Highlights:
*Kanpachi crudo in tomato water, finished with cumin salt 
*Japanese Otoro lightly kissed with binchotan and finished with chimichurri
*Wood-grilled prawns with chili garlic butter and salsa negra

Casa Kenji now lives in the former Andiron space just off Allen Parkway—think stunning interiors, a sleek bar, and a patio that’ll make you want to linger. Now open to the public!

Looking for an affordable dim sum spot? Joy Dim Sum in Sugar Land is one of those hidden gem finds to add to your dim sum rotation. 

Tucked inside Jusgo Market in Sugar Land with only seven tables, it’s a mom & pop in the true sense of the word — wife runs the front, husband is the dim sum chef & everything is made to order.

Prices run from $3.95–$6.95, so it’s one of the most affordable spots I’ve encountered! I ordered 10 dishes for just $64 (before tip!). Every plate comes straight from the kitchen, and they even offer frozen dim sum to take home. You even get a 5% discount when paying cash.

If you love discovering hidden gem spots, add this one to your list! Follow me for more finds like this one!

Hidden gem pizza in Memorial City / Hedwig Village 🍕

If you’re searching for great pizza in Houston, put Murray’s Pizza & Wine on your list. This new Memorial City pizza spot comes from the same owners as Leaf & Grain next door and focuses on high-hydration, long-fermented pizza dough made with Texas Barton Springs Mill flour. 

We started with a classic Caesar, juicy meatballs, and burrata with focaccia (a must). For pizza, both were strong, but the standout was the Not-Hawaiian pizza with salami & pineapple infused hot honey. Dessert was pistachio gelato that tasted like Dubai chocolate pistachio in the best way.

Bonus: one of the best patios in Memorial City, plus a cozy interior and full bar with wine and cocktails. A solid go-to for Houston pizza, date night, or an easy neighborhood dinner.
