Phat Eatery in Katy (west of Houston) is the late Alex Au-Yeung's Malaysian street food room in Katy Asian Town, with beef rendang, roti canai.
OrderBeef rendang, roti canai with curry chicken dip, char kway teow.
TipKaty is 30 miles west of downtown Houston; combine the trip with H Mart and Asian Town. Lunch is quieter.
Pondicheri in Houston is Anita Jaisinghani's modern Indian room at WestAve on Kirby Drive since 2011, with masala omelette breakfasts, thali plates.
OrderMasala omelette with roti at breakfast. The thali plate at dinner.
TipBreakfast (7am to 11am) is the lesser-known peak. The thali changes daily; ask what is on it before you order.
Killen's Steakhouse in Pearland (south of Houston) is Ronnie Killen's white-tablecloth room on West Broadway, with a 1,200-bottle wine tower.
OrderThe bone-in ribeye and the 44-Farms wagyu sampler. Order one of the dry-aged cuts off the side menu.
TipReserve four to six weeks ahead for Saturday. The bar serves the full menu and is the easier seat.
Pappas Bros Steakhouse Downtown in Houston is the McKinney Street steakhouse from the Pappas family, with a 4,000-bottle wine list, dry-aged ribeyes.
OrderA 28-day dry-aged bone-in ribeye and creamed spinach.
TipThe wine list is the reason. The downtown room is quieter than Westheimer; both serve the same kitchen.
Pho Binh on Bellaire Boulevard is the original 1983 Houston pho counter from the Le family, with clean broth, rare-beef pho tai and an Asiatown family legacy.
OrderPho tai (rare beef) or pho dac biet (combination). A Vietnamese iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk.
TipCash strongly preferred. Bellaire location is the original; the four other branches (Westheimer, Heights, Sharpstown, Katy) are family-run.
Truth BBQ in Houston is Leonard Botello IV's Heights Boulevard smokehouse, the Brenham original relocated in 2019, with post-oak-smoked brisket Texas.
OrderBrisket fatty, sliced thick. Pulled pork. A side of pinto beans and a slice of the strawberry cake.
TipOpen Wed to Sun, lunch only until they sell out (usually 2 to 3pm). Get there by 11am for brisket; the line moves fast.
