This all-you-can-eat Japanese-style buffet is a pretty sweet deal if you hit the lunch and dinner buffets. The sushi quality is good, especially considering the modest price. The selection, rolls and all, is good, too–all the usual suspects are present. Also included in the buffet line is a manned hibachi grill sizzling with juicy steak, […]
North in Dallas Observer
Showing 1299 - 1320 of 1981
This North Dallas spot defies expectations, going beyond typical Middle Eastern restaurants to give diners something new to chew on. And that’s not at the expense of authenticity. The scent of sumac wafts up from the plate of sirloin beef, and nuts and fruits are used effectively to create complex dishes with plenty of character. […]
It’s not hard to find The Owners Box in Dallas’ Omni Convention Center Hotel. Just look for the giant neon building on the downtown Dallas skyline – then quickly, for your retinas’ sake, look away. The interior of The Owner’s Box, the bar located on the ground floor, isn’t much different as far as sensory […]

This isn’t exactly the cheapest deli in town, as its location might imply. However, P.D. Johnson’s has going for it what most sandwich chains don’t: personal service and a gimmick that doesn’t involve some guy who lost weight eating only their product and who is only filmed from the mid-torso up. The selections at P.D. […]
How many diners know that the giant, 11-foot-tall stone horses flanking the entrances of many P.F. Chang’s symbolize the original Forbidden City in China, which was built for China’s first emperor Qin Shi Huangdi? Or that the restaurant’s founder, Philip Chiang, is still this successful chain’s consultant, and author of its current menu? People probably […]

Italians’ answer to Baskin-Robbins, Paciugo’s got waaaay more than 31 flavors. This is gelato, not ice cream; that means it’s made with milk instead of cream, which means that flavors aren’t dulled by a massive dose of milk fat, and served at a slightly warmer temperature, which means it’s ultra creamy. It also has 70 […]
Pakpao brings a little culture to the Design District, where the cuisine of Thailand is presented with bold and spicy flavors. The restaurant takes no reservations, but turns tables relatively quickly, while a small bar area provides beer and cocktails for those who are waiting. When you do get your seat, order aggressively. Many of […]

Originally opened in New York City in 1926 by Pio Bozzi and John Ganzi (and still owned by their descendents), the Palm brand has taken root from Los Angeles to San Juan. The Dallas branch is smack dab in the West End. The house specialty is the Nova Scotia lobster available up to six pounds. […]
This plush bistro is a survivor from the days when the Crescent Court was the It Location. And it has weathered very well: steady service, strong drinks and a menu that sometimes shows signs of chain-age (it is, in fact, part of a Seattle-based restaurant chain), but most times ranks with the city’s top destinations. […]
Paparazzi Pizza’s location is anything but glitzy, cozied up to a dry cleaner shop in a Carrollton strip mall, but the menu is more adventurous than you’d expect from a neighborhood pizzeria. Of course, it has all the usual suspects like pepperoni-topped pies, calzones and sub sandwiches, but the real standouts here are the Mediterranean […]
Like all Pappadeaux locations in the family-owned Pappa’s chain, this one serves swimming-yesterday fare. There’s a little of everything under the sea – clams, oysters, shrimp, catfish. Steak and chicken are included to round out the kitchen’s offerings. The fresh-food philosophy extends to the tartar sauce, which is made from the house mayonnaise. As is […]

Ask anyone who’s lived in Dallas long enough and they’ll gush about the service at Pappas Brothers. The old-school steakhouse has been a Dallas fixture for more than 30 years, harkening an era when fine dining meant a trip to restaurant row. The setting has changed some, and now strip clubs outnumber fine dining restaurants […]
There has to be a reason to brave these lines–even on a particularly crummy Saturday afternoon–and it’s the fajita plates, big enough to choke a Chihuahua. Beef fajitas, perfectly tender (not tenderized) and abundantly spiced, are the best we’ve tried in Dallas. Another standout is the chicken fajitas and quail (served together), the latter of […]
Parigi translates to Paris in Italian, reflecting this bistro’s kitchen as a nexus of Italian, French and American culinary traditions. Chef and owner Janice Provost considers Parigi a neighborhood place and thus supports community ventures such as Friends of the Farmers Market. Whatever their philanthropic involvement, the food shows a dedication to seasonal and locally […]
