Wow Donuts and Drips is now open on Lovers Lanes, across from the new Odelay Mexican food restaurant and Eatzi’s. This is Wow’s second location – the flagship in Frisco opened in 2017. They make from-scratch doughnuts in small batches every few hours and rotate in dozens of new flavors throughout the year. It’s more […]

Wu Wei Din, a spot with Taiwanese roots, has some of the best noodles, wontons and soups in the area. Over the past few years they have expanded, adding a second location in Plano and one in Lewisville. Many of the regulars are devotees of pork chop fried rice – a decent bowl of fried […]
One of the four venues at the epicenter of the Arts District, the AT&T Performing Arts Center, the Wyly is one of the city’s most distinctive structures. It was designed by renowned architect Rem Koolhaas, and its trailblazing 12-story layout means the theater can switch to any number of different configurations at the press of […]
Well-traveled diners will immediately notice that the name of Xi’an Yummy Foods bears a resemblance to a certain well-loved chain from the New York City area. Certain dishes at the New York institution are, alas, both more flavorful and more photogenic. But Dallas was desperately lacking in cumin lamb noodles, and now we’re not, so […]
With brick arches, ironwork and candlelit tables, the main dining room is as steakhouse as steakhouse gets. The patio with Texas Live Oaks offers a more casual setting. Diners can enjoy a glass from the wine menu split into “Old World” and “New World” sections as well as items from chef/owner Tony Street’s extensive game […]

Yao Fuzi serves a well-tempered genus of Shanghainese, the distinctive sustenance of Shanghai. It’s suffused with slivers of Mandarin and even Japanese to help keep it aloft in the flow of the mainstream. And it is without a doubt one of the most rewarding Chinese dining experiences in North Texas. You can savor fried calamari […]
This over-the-top delicious dessert bar offers a variety of different dinner desserts like ice cream, edible cookie dough and sundaes in lactose-laden and vegan varieties. But just like the name implies its milkshakes are the star attraction. Each of its specialty milkshakes is served in a pint jar (not a glass, an actual jar) with […]
This downtown spot is a whiskey and craft beer with a side of hockey and amazing soul-filling bar food. It’s got dive bar grit and is somewhat of a hidden gem in downtown. Fill up on dishes like the smoked meatloaf plate with house ground beef, gravy, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. The sandwiches […]
The injera at Yenat Guada – a light, spongy sourdough bread central to the Ethiopian dining experience – served with virtually every meal here. It also doubles as a customary dining utensil. Just tear off a manageable piece and then use it to pluck your food. Silverware is available upon request, but try the traditional […]

This fro-yo purveyor just might have the heft to support its claims as an “oasis,” and a “frozen yogurt dessert lounge.” Sleek and contemporary in design, Yogilicious offers customers what seems like an endless array of flavor combinations. Coconut is among the most popular and when topped with fresh tropical fruit, like chunks of pineapple, […]
Yogurtland, as its name implies, is pretty much Candyland for frozen-yogurt lovers. It’s clean, bright and modern, with a bank of self-serve frozen-yogurt machines on one wall. Flavors range from the expected (chocolate, vanilla, plain tart) to the inventive (red velvet, salted caramel pecan) to the downright outlandish (taro, dragon passion tart). Grab a cup […]
Though the menu is tiny–barely a dozen items–the food reflects laser-like focus. Dumplings and arrowroot noodles are precise and well-seasoned; marinated beef ribs are rich and dribbling with juices. Kimchee is killer. Plus, the huge flat screen in the front of the dining room broadcasts Korean dating game shows; at least we think that’s what […]
By now we know this new-wave frozen yogurt is healthier for you than ice cream – low-calorie, nonfat, good for your complexion. We’ve heard all that before, but this new-wave yogurt explosion continues to leave a lasting mark on the face of Dallas. Beyond the novelty of the fro-yo trend, though, there’s room to appreciate […]
Quite possibly Dallas’ best sushi bar, Yutaka has been an Uptown staple since 2006. Chef-owner Yutaka Yamato oversees a mouthwatering list of fresh sushi and sashimi that changes with the seasons and with new shipments flown directly from Japan. His sushi rolls hew to traditional styles, with the emphasis on simplicity and good ingredients; none […]

A zaguán is the mosaic-tiled entryway of Venezuelan homes, and this bakery and cafe is an entryway to some new tastes. Like traditional Venezuelan cachapas – a thick, sweet-corn crepe filled with shredded beef, Serrano ham or several other fillings, and arepas overflowing with melted Venezuelan cheese. You can make a meal out of cachapas […]
For creative eccentricity, no pizza place in town can top ZaLat, which is unafraid to make a pizza that tastes like pho, elote, a Reuben sandwich or a loaded baked potato. But the flavors aren’t a stoner novelty gimmick; ZaLat builds on a great crust with top-shelf ingredients. Our favorites include the Zealot, ZaLat’s version […]
For this city, for too long, “Mediterranean” food – the euphemism restaurateurs use to avoid racist sentiment – meant a simple diet of gyros, hummus and lukewarm lunch buffets. Zatar Lebanese Tapas ditches the word “Mediterranean” and presents a menu of foods which are difficult, or impossible, to find elsewhere in North Texas. The cheese […]
