Agnes And Sherman - Review - The Heights - Houston - The Infatuation

"The scene at this Asian-American diner in The Heights plays out like a cross-generational montage. Toddlers turn chopsticks into drumsticks, Gen Z-ers toast with yuzu highballs, and boomers tear into scallion waffles like it’s their first time, while Salt-N-Pepa plays on the speakers and steam rises from the open kitchen. The food here mixes traditions, but never feels gimmicky. Disco fries go Taiwanese with melty cheese, pickled mustard greens, and sweet-spiced pork gravy. The must-get crackly shell-on shrimp are infused with the tangy flavor of Filipino sinigang and lit up with serrano heat. Egg foo young lands doused in crawfish gumbo, with a bottle of Crystal hot sauce riding shotgun. And it all comes in huge portions. Round up your hungriest friends, lock down the table with the Lazy Susan, and get ready to take some leftovers home." - Brooke Viggiano
