This thread reminds me, I saw one of the local news stations, 13 I think, refer to "Asia town." Is that the new preferred nomenclature for Chinatown?

Prob talking about Asia Town in Katy. They bought up a bunch of the land at the old "Verde "
Parc" at the NEC of 10 and 99. Next to UH and HCC campuses. I think they are working on Phase 2 of development.

Could be wrong though. Only thing I can think of.

The best restaurant there isn't Chinese so makes sense! If you haven't tried Phat Eatery, which is Malaysian, get out there ASAP. Also Thaicoon is really good as well.

H-Marts are interesting stores to visit on a weekend. You see all sorts of crazy stuff.

What should we call an area that is and always been a mix of restaurants, stores, etc with stuff form various different Asian countries?

I know the answer, probably 'Chinatown'

Fu Fu Cafe was one of our regulars when I worked out West. Everything is great, orange peel beef and dumplings are standouts. Other go-tos were Mala, Shanghai and Xin Cheng.

Thanks, I don't know much about that part of the world. But you're probably correct. I wasn't paying a lot of attention to the news story to notice what specifically they were referring to.

Cafe Ginger on W Gray is really good "American Chinese" food. Ginger and Fork is more authentic and has a great cocktail menu and a large whiskey selection. Different experiences but both are great.

Any suggestions as to best Chinese food in H-town? Mein? Ginger and Fork? Mala? I appreciate your help.
Ginger & Fork & Mala would be my two picks.

G&F had to get a computer system to translate englise to the Cantonese/Mandarin characters bc their cooks are from China


Also G&F is the only place I know to get authentic Soup Dumplings that are flown in.

Me too. Great Vietnamese out there too with Paris, Saigon Pagolac, Alpha Bakery, Sing Sing, Don. Miyagi for Sushi. Not far from Ghandi district for good Indian or Pakistani (London Sizz, Himalaya). Good Persian at Bijan and Kasra. El Aseel for Palestinian Chicken. Westchase area was an international eating paradise.

My only problem was that the Viet-Cajun crawfish joints didn't open until like 4.

Flown in? Like Main lobster or Italian marble?

Is it only authentic if the nimble fingers of Chinese nationals are used?

Wanna Bao in Midtown and One Dragon in Chinatown (related owners if I recall) are solid xiao long bao locations. Pretty sure they are authentic.

Just not AS good. I've tried Fu fu, Golden Dumpling and a few others I can't remember the name.

I love golden dumpling but I'm not going there because their soup dumplings are the best around or imported from China or whatever. I go there because they're still good and like $5 for a dozen

I should have quoted "authentic" as it was more joking on how it is phrased at G&F. They fly them in from NY and according to the G&F owner only NY and LA and now Vegas are the only places in US that make authentic ones.

Usually I don't take that "Cognac can only be made in Cognac region" type BS, but I have yet to find as good xiao long bao in Houston, and LA and Vegas are where I have had the best.

It's awesome but seems a little shady - like it is a front for some operation. We would go by at lunch sometimes and the doors would be locked and there would be half drank cups of coffee and still lit cigs on the table out front. If it is open, get a whole fried and a half Palestinian grilled. That's a rec for 2 people.

The best restaurant there isn't Chinese so makes sense! If you haven't tried Phat Eatery, which is Malaysian, get out there ASAP. Also Thaicoon is really good as well.
Went to Phat Eatery yesterday. Awesome. If you're hungry and adventurous, do the Feed Me $48 6 course option where they choose what to bring out.
