The 13 Best Lunch Restaurants In Houston

"Not all lunches need to be multi-course, sit-down operations. Vuji Cafe in The Heights keeps it simple. The counter-service restaurant offers a menu of eight sandwiches made with slices of Texas toast, a few coffees, and housemade lemonades. There are no bad options here but opt for the bulgogi ribeye sandwich that tastes like a portable KBBQ dinner. And if you need a sugar boost to help you power through your afternoon meetings, go for the dessert sando with ube and pandan fillings. Vuji is pretty quiet, so you can enjoy your lunch hour listening to lo-fi playlists while sitting beside a plant with billowing leaves." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
