The 18 Best Restaurants in The Heights - Houston - The Infatuation

"When you need a few cans of curry paste alongside a fiery serving of pad thai, hit up Asia Market Thai Lao Food. At this combination grocery store and quick-serve Thai restaurant, ordering each dish “mild” might be an option, but don’t expect anything to be devoid of heat. The incredible food here starts spicy, like the pad kra pow, and veers into tangy with a beef laab that makes us wonder why we aren't eating here every day. And because it’s a half-restaurant, half-corner store, a lot of folks grab a quick lunch, popping in and out with sacks of to-go food, and couples squeeze in for a quick, midweek date night." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
