A terrific find for some of the best in Tex-Mex, emphasis on the Mex. Everything is fresh, the gorditas are especially good, and the homemade tortillas are not to be missed under any circumstances.

While the rest of the noodle fanatics chase ramen around the country, you might think about settling in with a warm bowl of pho. It’s lighter, brighter and when it’s done well is one of best soups to be found. It’s also a lot cheaper. Miss Chi in the Preston Center is a good place […]
This pizzeria is original from Miami, by way of master pizza chef Renato Viola, who was raised in southern Italy and started learning the ways of making pizza at age 11. He moved to Miami under the O1 visa category for his “extraordinary artistic ability.” Hence the name. The salads are served in large bowls […]
Downtown’s glamorous gold-themed bar can be a place for a big, romantic night out, or it can be a quick place to crash after a show. The Mitchell is versatile, and that extends to the enormous liquor selection – including dozens of gins; order a martini and they’ll ask which you want – and the […]

The ‘mochinut’ concept originates in Hawaii and, as its name implies, blends the traditional Japanese mochi snacks into the coveted American doughnut. Mochi, a common delicacy from Japan is made with stretchy rice flour and is known for its gratifying texture, giving a nice elastic rebound when bitten into. Deep-fried to a golden brown color, […]
Modest Rogers Kitchen & Bar features a great combination of Venezuelan, Spanish and Mexican cuisine with a Texas flair.

For folks trying to watch their waistlines, eating out can be a major PITA – something as innocent-seeming as a salad can easily contain an entire day’s calorie allotment. Colorado-born fast-casual chain Modmarket, which bills itself as a “farm fresh eatery,” is refreshingly upfront about the nutritional stats of its food, even going so far […]

Monarch, a modern Italian restaurant created by Michelin-starred chef Danny Grant, lives on the 49th floor of the National in downtown Dallas. It has great views of the city and a menu that takes advantage of its wood-fired hearth, as well its patrons’ willingness to spend a bit of cash for these spectacular vistas and […]
Deep Ellum needed something like this. Monkey King Noodle Co. is an off-the-beaten-path Chinese street-food restaurant that brings big flavors on the cheap. The spicy beef noodle soup is exceptional and by far the best way to get to know the Monkey King’s handcrafted noodles. A subtle version of dan-dan noodles isn’t that spicy, but […]

Just a rhinestone’s throw from University Park, Nick Badovinus’ homage to his native Seattle features a plethora of oysters, a good bowl of chowder and simple but just-right preparations of seafood. Prices reflect the cost of flying these ingredients from the Pacific to Dallas, which (justly or not) causes some customers to raise their eyebrows. […]

This restaurant specializes in the only Xi’an style noodles in Dallas. Off Legacy Drive in Plano, just west of 75, is a strip mall emblazoned with the yellow words “Food Court.” That terse but accurate description conceals a small operation filled with Chinese and Korean stalls, including a tofu specialist, a bubble tea shop and […]
Morton’s the Steakhouse may be a chain with more than 70 locations, but this is hardly Outback. Originally located downtown since 1987, Morton’s moved on up to McKinney Avenue in 2011. A fresh makeover the following year replaced the old-school dark wood-laden dining room with a new look more suited to its Uptown location: dimmer, […]
