Tart Bakery

What’s a chic pastry shop without a pastel color scheme? Not a modern chic pastry shop, is what. Thankfully, the palette at Tart doesn’t fail. Owner Kristen Massad has established herself not only as a purveyor of sweet delights, like cupcakes and petit fours, but also a vendor of baking accessories in her cute shop. […]

Tasty Eggroll

Tasty Egg Roll, disguised as your standard suburban Chinese restaurant serving up cloying Chinese American favorites, is a Penang-street food heaven from Friday evenings through Sundays. While this location has been open for 22 years, the Penang-influenced menu only made an appearance in 2018, when Adeleine Ooi took over the restaurant. She decided to take […]

Tasty House

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

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 […]

Tea Thyme Tisane Cafe & Bakery

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 […]

Tei-An

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 […]

Tequila Social

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 […]

Teriyaki 4 U

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 […]

Terry Black’s BBQ

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 De Brazil

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.
