Sometimes, Houston sucks. But these restaurants remind you why you’re glad you’re here.
October 3, 2024
It’s easy to fall out of love with Houston. The summers are brutal, traffic never ends, and it takes over an hour to get from one side of the city to the other. But the next time you find yourself romanticizing a quieter life out in the country, head to one of the places. These are the restaurants that remind us what we love about Houston, and they couldn’t exist anywhere else. At these 14 restaurants, you can get out of your head, find some peace from the commute, and remember why Houston is the best damn city in America.
In a city where there’s no shortage of KBBQ restaurants, Hongdae 33 in Chinatown remains one of our favorite spots in Houston. Long gone are the days of moseying through a buffet line like at other AYCE KBBQ spots. Instead, plates and plates of sweet bulgogi, tender beef brisket, and sizzling cheese corn are ushered directly to your table for 90 glorious minutes (or until it’s physically impossible to have another bite). Come to Hongdae 33 to catch up with friends over miso soup, flip pieces of pork belly as you celebrate your bestie’s birthday, or set a new personal best for plates of garlic shrimp consumed.
