"Husband-and-wife team Braden and Yasmin Wages operate this local chain, which has five locations around DFW. The menu features Southeast Asian fare inspired by their trips to Thailand and Vietnam. That translates to plates of pad grapao (savory ground pork over rice), drunken noodles, banh mi, curried crab dip, and lemongrass mussels in a Sauvignon Blanc and coconut broth. The interior design is sleek, featuring a U-shaped dark wood bar for patrons to gather around, red booths, and tables with woven seagrass chairs, along with numerous light touches inspired by Asian design. It’s open for lunch and dinner." - Courtney E. Smith
