3 Houston Restaurants to Try This Weekend: May 9 | Eater Houston
"Opened in its standalone Spring Branch location in 2023 by MasterChef winner Christine Ha, this Vietnamese‑forward spot blends hometown Texas touches with Southeast Asian flavors. The menu ranges from Texas brisket fried rice studded with fatty beef to sticky wings and fried dumplings, and even a fish‑sauce margarita flecked with chile. The signature Rubbish Apple Pie à la mode—an open‑faced, tart‑style pie of soft, spiced apples infused with star anise, ginger and lemongrass—has drawn particular acclaim (including praise from Gordon Ramsay) for its warming, subtly Asian take on a classic dessert." - Brittany Britto Garley
