This is a cute place for brunch in the Heights. I stopped by for a very quick bite with two of my friends on a chill Saturday morning around 11:00am. There are two levels of seating inside as well as an outdoor patio. The tables inside are pretty close together so noise level can be an issue sometimes, esp with the upbeat music they play lol. I ordered the Parisian Breakfast for brunch with eggs over easy and a lovely side of croissant with Brie and Honey and also a baguette with strawberry preserves and whipped butter. My friends had the Duck Fat Camper's Hash and there were no complaints about that one either. The staff here is very cordial and friendly, I would like to come back again next time, and sit and chill for longer.

This is my favorite place to eat Yakitori in Little Tokyo. I stopped by for dinner on a chilly night and it's so cozy inside. I visited 3 years ago during covid so business was slower than usual and tables were turning fast, however now it's probably hard to get seated.

You can smell the fragrant juices of the chicken skewers if you're anywhere on the second floor of this shopping complex. I ordered to share, beef, soft and negi chicken thighs, chicken breast, chicken wings, chicken hearts and gizzards and chicken meatballs skewers. The grill master here is Japanese and he definitely knows how to preserve the succulent texture of the juices in the meat skewers while also giving you the smokiness from the charcoal.

In addition to the yakitori they also have a la carte side items like Oyako Donburi, quite fluffy and seasoned just right and an incredible chicken broth congee that warms your soul. The name of this congee on the menu is Zousui Chicken congee with vegetables. The pricing structure is very fair given the location, our bill came out to be $65 for two people. FYI they have Kirin and Asahi on tap here!

This little izakaya is definitely worth a visit.

This is easily one of my favorite authentic Chinese restaurants here in Bellaire. I have a huge appetite for spicy Chinese food, especially the particular cuisines originating from the Southern Provinces, Sichuan and Hunan. Sichuan spice is mind-numbing, while Hunan Spice is fragrant spice. I strongly prefer the latter over the former.

I've never had a bad experience dining in, I always like to order a full teapot of their Chrysanthemum tea, which has a nice red color to it. My top favorite dishes to order from here are: Spicy Beef Dry Pot, Chinese Bacon with Garlic Leek, Shredded Pork with Bean curd & leek and Sizzling Seafood Tofu.

这家店儿的口味非常地道。菜端上桌子香辣味儿就扑鼻而来。

Interesting menu, this a Vietnamese bakery located in Viet Town in Bellaire. I was in the area one random afternoon and stopped by to try some buns. The salted egg and pork bun is interesting but actually dry on the inside. The custard bun was too sweet. If you have sensitive teeth or gums beware.
