In its first incarnation, Damasita was a tavern with fried foods and bar drinks. After a change of ownership, the dining room has calmed down and become homier, and the menu focuses on traditional cooking. Grab the city’s best gimbap to go – the two-inch-wide rolls, which resemble extra-large maki sushi but with added vegetables, […]

People don’t really go to DanSungSa before 8 p.m. The scene picks up late at this classic Korean joint, which on Thursdays and Fridays closes just before sunrise the next day. Grab a karaoke room or a booth in the bar, which have big, dark privacy shields covered in soju advertisements. If the ads inspire […]
Darkoo’s Chicken Shack is the latest concept (and replacement, if you will, of Khao Noodle Shop) from Donny Sirisavath. Here he partnered Jimmy Niwa of Niwa Japanese BBQ and they serve Asian-style fried chicken. Like a Khao, the menu here is tight. There are four chicken options on Darkoo’s menu along with 11 sides and five […]
If that whole pink-slime fiasco has scared you off of ground beef (and we certainly wouldn’t blame you), perhaps you ought to consider taking your business to a proper family-owned butcher shop like David’s Meat Market rather than the local megamart. David Harris and his family have been slinging steaks, chops, house-made sausages and jerky […]

Ddong Ggo is in the hands of new ownership, but we’re happy to report the infectious fun and shockingly good food that drew us in to this Korean street-style bar are still very much on display. Put another way: Can you imagine a better night out than a Korean bar with blaring pop music, an […]

What happens when a group of doctors with appetites for sushi decide to open their own restaurant? This place happens. Since 1996, Deep Sushi has not only served the predilections of its owners but also those of the surrounding neighborhood and beyond. Its green-tile façade is reminiscent of the green shades of nori, the seaweed […]
Oak Cliff’s newest taco sensation is the second location of a business that first opened in McKinney. But Del Sur Tacos has upped its game to compete with Jefferson Boulevard’s crowd of rival taquerias, with inspired specialty tacos featuring fillings like a chile relleno, excellent carnitas, cochinita pibil and birria. Grab some mulitas, too, and […]
When you look out the window at the popular, noisy Deli News, your eyes may say “North Dallas strip mall parking lot,” but your stomach says “Brooklyn Bridge.” The giant menu is loaded with authentic Russian-Jewish favorites such as latkes, kugels and mozza ball soup, plus hybrids such as challah-bread French toast. The triple-decker sandwich […]
Desi District was already a Las Colinas gem, but has expanded into five locations across Dallas suburbs. Sometimes, expansion means a slip in what we used to love, but the vegetable bhajis, dosas and chaat at Desi District are just as good as ever. The restaurant flourishes from a large industrial-chic dining room with a […]

Mexico native Jorge Levy opened his first Tex-Mex hall in 1976 to great applause. The applause continues. The barely altered menu has much to do with it. Among the items that have been available for more than three decades are the Desperado Tacos, twin puffy tacos filled with slices of beef or chicken fajita and […]

Desta doesn’t feel like a typical Ethiopian restaurant. The fixtures are modern and minimalist and the space could easily double as a stylish, downtown bar. The one-page menu offers a twist on classic Ethiopian cooking. Greenville Avenue just south of Richardson has a few Ethiopian restaurants. Desta’s the perfect stop for those who are new […]
