Part of the new guard of Sichuan restaurants in Plano, Tasty House offers specialties that are a little outside the norm, including “rice crust,” a sizzling hot rice cake doused in stir fried beef and wood ear mushroom sauce. If you’re not quite courageous enough to order the sizzling pig brains, excellent cumin chicken is […]

Tatsu, the namesake Deep Ellum omakase restaurant from chef Tatsuya Sekiguchi, is the only Dallas restaurant to earn a Michelin star, but we’ve been enthralled with Sekiguchi’s lessons in the art of omakase well before the Michelin Guide came to town. Dallas’ omakase scene is growing rapidly, but we prefer Tatsu’s traditional and elegant interpretation […]
Mosquitoes. Heat stroke. Sky-high utility bills. The dreaded butt sweat. Summer in Dallas brings a plague of problems, but there are bright spots to be had: the annual opening of TC Shaved Ice, for one. The tiny light blue drive-thru hut on Garland Road draws droves of icy treat-seeking Dallasites in need of some cool […]
Sure, it’s all about frozen yogurt at TCBY, which stands, as most Dallas / Fort Worth] fans know, for The Country’s Best Yogurt. Founded in Arkansas in 1981 on the cutting edge of the nation’s fro-yo boom, the chain offers soft-serve bowls of flavors like Cake Batter and Caramel Supreme, and waffle cones crammed with […]

Some of the best tea in the DFW area-sold by the cup or in bulk for home brewing-and the best tisane. What the hell is tisane? Well, the roots, bark and herbs are used to make tea around the world. The kitchen leans toward old home-style dishes, emphasizing the cooking of moms who had to […]
This Japanese bar on Henderson Avenue specializes in robatayaki, the technique of grilling food over hot charcoal. Chefs at the bar tend to the grill, turning out excellent skewers of meat and vegetables, as well as crisp-skinned and fork-tender whole fish. There is sashimi on offer, too, and it’s at the same high quality. Once […]
The most influential figure on the Dallas dining scene might be Teiichi Sakurai, who is doing his best to build one of America’s best Japanese food markets. Sakurai’s previous restaurants, Teppo and Tei Tei Robata, are both still open and still outstanding, and his ramen shop Ten is a cult favorite. But Tei-An is his […]
If a Mexican restaurant has been doing business in Dallas for more than 20 years, it’s doing something right. And while Tejano’s Aztec temple-inspired d
This small ramen bar in West Dallas, an offshoot of Teiichi Sakurai’s Tei An, has gathered a cult-like following for silky broth and succulent noodles. Ten Ramen’s menu is compact: two ramens, two rice bowls, a broth-less mazemen and a lobster miso, along with a rotating weekly special. Yes, there’s only standing room for a dozen or […]

Teppo still floats to the top of the Dallas sushi outposts, now as thick as krill across our own special cowboy concrete landscape. Teppo riles with its compelling, often perverse sense of sushi doctrine: green tea-infused edamame, grilled Alaskan king crab, skewers of chicken, duck and beef tongue. Flounder carpaccio in a mango-hued splash of […]
Tequila Social, on the Katy Trail, serves Tex-Mex classics and a host of margaritas, ranch waters and cocktails. Tequila Social’s expansive patio (seating 200) is the main attraction. And when North Texas’ hellish temps finally begin to subside to tolerable levels, we imagine this patio being crammed, especially during happy hour. The indoor dining room […]
Carrollton may not have Hawaii’s natural beauty, but thanks to Teriyaki 4 U, it has a restaurant that brilliantly re-creates the flavors of a Hawaiian lunch plate. Owner Grace Koo uses a wood-fired grill to infuse Teriyaki 4 U’s proteins with a subtle hint of smoke, and she and chef-partner Joshua Bonee have created a […]
This Austin-import is set in the middle of Deep Ellum with a huge barn like dining room along with a wonderful rooftop for outdoor dining. This spot made Texas Monthly’s Top 50 BBQ list in 2021, not that that surprised anyone. Their Central Texas-inspired brisket is spot on. The sides are solid too. And what’s […]
Texas Ale Project is the only brewery in Dallas to be built from the ground up since before prohibition, and they’re serving up some of the best brews around!

Sweet-as-pie owner Ms. Jan serves it up spicy. Proper West Indian vittles just roll that way. There’s a smile, and then there’s flame shooting out of your ears. Case in point: the jerk chicken wings with rice and cornbread. The real treat here is the oxtail, which is available most of the time. But you […]
This Brazilian espeto corrido churrascaria, or continuous-service grill house, with servers offering a variety of meats from skewers, has mostly good meat, but a few offerings are desiccated — especially the pork. The all-you-can eat salad bar is loaded with fresh stuff, and the wine list has a good selection with flavor descriptions.
The Texas de Brazil in Fort Worth boasts the same world-class salad bar and savory roasted meats (delivered to your table on skewers) as its cousins in Dallas and Addison, but like Cowtown itself, the place is exceptionally friendly. Excellent lobster bisque, filet mignon and rack of lamb. The layout of the multilevel restaurant-with some […]
Just outside Globe Life Field is a bevy of restaurants and bars, all housed under one roof called Texas Live! And if you’ve ever thought, “Sure wish I could watch the game somewhere fun tonight” this is your home. Before a Rangers game, it’s packed with families and sports fans scarfing down plates of nachos […]
