    Uchi - best sushi in Houston. Second best is MF Sushi in the museum district

    Anthony’s- Way the F out in Simonton, but amazing food and drinks.

    Oporto - try a caipirinha, croquetas, and batatas bravas and share around.

    Le Colonial - Vietnamese/French fusion in River Oaks. Go for a date night/anniversary.

    Musaafer - Galleria, best Indian food in Houston.

    Uchi had one of the best meals he had in years but I hear it’s a chain now

    Your last recc…no way it’s better than Agas?!

    I take this back. Food that gets delivered in clear plastic gets nasty, wet and soggy.

    Honestly didn't love Katami. But I would try it again.

    Shame I'll never eat at Aga's since it's in the middle of nowhere and I'd have to take the axis of **** that is the 59/610 exchange.

    Too many Indian food recommendations. Indian food isn't good.

    Truth BBQ is definitely worth getting. Try the Brussels Sprouts & the Banana Pudding.
    Chicken Tinga Taco at Tacos A Go Go is probably the best Chicken Taco I've had.
    Breakfast Tacos at Pit Room are an absolute must-try.
    Retrospect Coffee Bar has great Coffee & Crepes.
    Rainbow Lodge is still the best patio in town, and their Chicken Fried Venison is amazing.

    I love Agas. I also saw a small roach walking on the wall last time I was there and although I know it's common for us to have roaches in Texas, I still have a hard time going back. Their food is damn good though. I'm sure I'll get over it eventually.

    Himalaya Restaurant goes hard as well.

    a roach would give me pause, but the food is too good so I’d probably excuse it if it’s a one time thing

    what would for sure never make me go back to a restaurant is if I saw a rat or if there’s hair in my food

    What’s the best pizza spot in Houston?

    I feel like Houston pizza is mostly mediocre

    NY style was my favorite until I had Detroit Style in Chicago

    Not a fan of indian food generally but if you haven't been to Agas you should check it out. Nationally renowned..
