Best Dishes Eater Houston’s Editor Ate This Month: May 2025 | Eater Houston

"Run by Top Chef alums Evelyn Garcia and Henry Lu, the restaurant splits personalities: evenings feature a bold Latin–Southeast Asian menu with signature items like fried chicken finished with a punchy fish paste and carrots dressed in salsa macha with Salvadoran cheese, while daytime it operates as Third Place, a relaxed coffee-and-collaboration spot that hosts chef pop-ups. Recent pop-ups included James Beard semifinalist Suu Khin plating dishes such as chicken salad wrapped in lettuce and a lemongrass catfish congee — a savory porridge layered with spices, tender catfish, a peanut-sesame crunch, slices of youtiao, and a jammy soy-marinated egg." - Brittany Britto Garley
