"With cafeteria-style dining and a market next door that sources rice varieties and vegan sauces from across Asia, this Chinatown gem is known as a vegetarian sanctuary. Particular highlights include the vegetarian beef chunk banh mi packed with pickled veggies and cucumber slices, crisp cilantro, and velvety mayo in a toasty baguette. Its lunch combo meals are one of Houston’s best bargains, with the priciest at $12 for three dishes with a side of noodles or rice, soup, and tea." - Brianna Griff, Eater Staff
