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 […]
Richardson has its share of Asian cuisine, but SaWaDiKa Thai Zone stands out for its peppy atmosphere and admirable blend of the traditional and the creative. Basic dishes such as pad Thai and red curry are plated beautifully and taste just as good. Tiger Cry brisket is some of the most well-seasoned in the area. […]
The specialty here is Mediterranean-style grilled seafood, offered in a weekday lunch buffet, but the real action at Sayyad is in the evenings, when grilled fish and seafood kebabs can take center stage. The seafood specialties here include singari fish casserole, in which a whole fish is split, butterflied and marinated, then topped with an […]
Located just north of Dallas in Richardson, Six Springs Tavern is a somewhat new hangout in a spot that has more than four decades of live music history. Now, they serve all your favorite booze and put on shows by local, regional and national music acts. Lucky for you, Six Springs can hold a big […]

Brother to Little Katana on Travis Street, Stone Horse is the same copious blend of Japanese and Korean with little flecks of Thai and Chinese. Steaks are rich and juicy, sushi plows through the range of stunning to adequate to deplorable, with most hugging the former rather than the latter. Service is earnest if na
Sueño is from local restauranter Julio Pineda, who previously spearheaded Pineda’s Mexican Cuisine in Richardson. Pineda and his father Aureliano Pineda – who worked at Mi Concina for 20 years – always had a dream of opening their own restaurant together. Along with several other family members, they have realized that dream with aptly named Sueño. […]
Diabetics or low-carb fanatics will be DeLited at the selection of 300-plus items devoid of the sweet stuff. Everything from barbecue sauce and margarita mix to low-carb bagels and frozen “yogurt” (that’s lactose-, gluten-, sugar- and dairy-free) line the shelves of this Richardson storefront that’s open a whopping 362 days a year (so if you’re […]
In the 17-plus years since the Observer last reviewed Sushi Yokohama, much has changed beyond the restaurant’s doors. Dallas has seen prominent restaurants rise and fall, trends come and go and perhaps even a food industry bubble grow and burst. But, in this Preston Road strip mall, a star sushi restaurant continues to shine even […]

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.
Dallas’s only carnivorous plant gallery, the Texas Triffid Ranch features custom enclosures containing carnivorous plants from all across the planet.

This South Indian vegetarian eatery is adjacent to a sari shop and an Indian grocery store, so you can’t get more authentic, pink tablecloths notwithstanding. Tucked into the back right corner is a small lunch-only buffet set up on a few tables like a catering affair. The food, however, is fresh and hot. Along with […]
One couldn’t tell just by looking, but this Chinese restaurant doesn’t serve any animal products; it’s 99 percent vegan. The “meats” here–found both on the menu and the constantly changing buffet–are made with textured vegetable protein or are tofu look-alikes. There are also purely vegetable dishes–no fakers–including stir-fried spicy zucchini, veggie lo mein and crunchy […]
