You’d think Royal China, situated near Preston Hollow and catering to a mostly American clientele since 1974, would have been surpassed many times over by the new wave of Chinese restaurants in Plano, Richardson and other northern suburbs. But this Dallas institution is more than keeping up with the times. Chefs pull noodles and roll […]
Royal Chopstix offers simple Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai and Singaporean dishes–spring rolls, egg drop soup and pad Thai for instance–in safe, mainstream guises that will fill the belly without siphoning the wallet.
To say that Rubber Gloves is a fixture in the Denton community would be an incredible understatement. Down a ways from the Square on Sycamore Street where the trains pass, this music venue earned its legendary status booking bands that went on to fill arenas. Since reopening after a two year hiatus, Rubber Gloves has […]
You could go to Kroger to pick up a steak for a weekend grilling session, but you’d be missing out on a true butcher shop experience. You won’t get cooking advice from the plastic-wrapped package that informs you little more than the price per pound, and you won’t get meat butchered onsite moments before you’ve […]

Look past the silly names for entrees such as Cure For The Common Cabbage or Everybody Loves Relleno, and you’ll quickly realize that Rye serves seriously good fare that you’re unlikely to find in mainstream Dallas restaurants. Dinners are built from an array of plates that grow progressively larger on the menu, each selection a […]
A go-to for Gulf oysters, where the turnover is so high a team of shuckers work up front at lightning speed. With custom made cocktail sauce and a handful of crackers you can make a whole meal out of these meaty specimens.
ablon Chocolate Lounge takes inspiration from the Belgian chocolate culture, claiming high-quality chocolate “is a birth right that should be enjoyed by everyone.” The menu is indulgent in every sense; the selection, the portions, and the prices all staggering.
Sachet’s vegetable-focused, elegant Mediterranean plates of food start from impeccable ingredients, and they’re served in portions small enough that we can try more. It’s possible to focus on a different aspect of this restaurant with each visit: Come once to sample Sachet’s seasonal house-made pastas – Sachet is one of the best pasta joints in […]

Many of the regulars at this Richardson institution come to share a bounteous portion of whole roasted catfish, priced by size and served with rice paper, sauces and herbs for make-them-yourself spring rolls. There are also roasted quail and buttery frog legs on the menu at Saigon Block, which specializes in the kind of banquet […]
The eponymous Sal opened his first hand-tossed pie shop in New York in 1975. Since moving the operation to Big D in 1982, Sal’s has outgrown its original location and now includes a Plano branch. Both spots offer classic New York-style pizza, such as the traditional Margherita, white and Alfredo varieties. They also offer signature […]

After a slew of new chefs revolved through the kitchen, Abraham Salum’s little place continues apace, sometimes unnoticed but never unappreciated-at least by those who frequent the little place. The cooking is solid at the very least and intriguing most of the time. Hearty sandwiches (like a rustic BLT) compete with a diverse group of […]
The restaurant may have relocated from its original Deep Ellum digs, but the eatery (now a chain) continues to reel them in with live music and an eclectic menu. Owners and siblings Kim and Holly Forsythe have been doing so since 1991. Pop, classic rock and jazz acts at this “rockin’ dinner club” provide a […]
