Grimaldi’s Pizzeria

A sister restaurant to the famed Grimaldi’s under the Brooklyn Bridge in the DUMBO neighborhood, for whose products devotees wait hours for a pie, this shop serves Neapolitan-style pizzas from a coal-fired brick oven. Take your pick from 12-, 16- or 18-inch pizza pies topped with anything from anchovies and jalapeño to Kalamata olives and […]

Gui Korean Japanese Bistro and Bar

There is no Korean food here. Well, there are some rice bowls, but they only pay lip service to the complexities of authentic Korean cookery. There’s sushi, though, and lots of it. The sushi bar turns out enough rolls with goofy names to fill the entire side of a one-page menu. That menu is geared […]

Hacienda on Henderson

Inhabiting a 1940s-era house (hence, hacienda) on Henderson, this restaurant brings the Tex-Mex and homey feeling to a crowded, high-energy entertainment district. It’s an extremely colorful and frenetic home, one filled with Mexican kitsch, burritos, enchiladas, tacos and fajitas during lunch and dinner. The chicken enchiladas with pepperjack cheese and sour cream tomatillo salsa, chile […]

Haidilao Hot Pot

Chinese hot pot is similar in many respects to fondue: it’s an interactive dining experience where the center of table contains a simmering pot of soup into which various raw ingredients such as veggies, meat, seafood, tofu, etc., are placed for quick cooking. The ingredients are sliced thinly to facilitate the fast-cooking process, and the […]

Half Shells Oyster Bar & Grill

Dangling miniature Christmas lights and plastic fish combined with tin pails of saltine crackers on all the tables give this dim, narrow seafood eatery in the middle of the Park Cities a surprising slightly laid-back, urban seaport feel. Start out with a batch of iced, fresh oysters on the half shell. If the famous slither […]

Hanasho Japanese Restaurant

Hanasho is located in a slightly dingy Irving strip mall, but don’t let that dissuade you. Sushi and sashimi are impeccably fresh, and certain varieties can be had during happy hour for just a buck. Hamachi collar and delectably fatty toro are standouts. Besides the requisite raw fish, this traditional sushi joint also offers other […]

Hangry Joe’s Hot Chicken

Hangry Joe’s is a franchise from Virginia with a location in south Dallas in the Redbird area off Camp Wisdom Road. The menu is pretty straightforward. They serve on-the-bone chicken, sandwiches and tenders. Heat levels start at zero, meaning no spice, with five more increasingly hotter levels. The final, angry hot, requires customers to sign […]

Happiest Hour

Mostly we lean toward off-the-beaten-path bars, speakeasies and low-key places with quirky personalities. Happiest Hour is none of those. This is that one friend who is always in your face, “You’re having a damn good time, like it or not.” It’s a great spot to pregame for anything at the American Airlines Center, which is […]

Happy Lemon

Happy Lemon, a Taiwan-based boba tea company, is famous for bubble teas, citrusy teas and slushies, as well as bubble waffles and salted cheese drinks. The menu is extensive and complicated for someone with no experience in cheese drinks, ice and sugar ratios, or boba, but in our experience the staff is super helpful with […]

Harper’s

Haper’s is from Milkshake Concepts, the same folks behind Vidorra, Stirr, Serious Pizza, Sky Rocket Burger and Citizen. This spot serves a globally-inspired menu while focusing on local ingredients. What that results in is a menu with foie gras potstickers ($19), Mexican street corn pizza ($17), a Wagyu burger ($24) and a long list of […]

Harwood Arms

Gastropubs are plentiful across Dallas, but with its combination of a cozy and welcoming dining room and fare that warms both the body and soul, Harwood Arms does the best job of bringing English sensibility and an authentic pub experience close to home. To step inside Harwood Arms is to step into a Welsh country […]
