The 22 Best Restaurants In Houston's Chinatown - Houston - The Infatuation

"Dipping Tiger (from the folks behind Tiger Den) is one of many Chinatown phở specialists, but it’s the only one that feels like a small cafe holed up inside a 1920s subway station. The windowless dining room with dark wood details, an ornate kitchen metal gate, and moody tiles is a great place to indulge in a quiet, slow bowl of phở. Like the combination phở đặc biệt that’s a near wall-to-wall mix of meat and noodles all swimming in a clarified, herb-packed broth. Or the phở tái served with thin-sliced rare beef and a ginger-perfumed clarified consomme that’s so light, you can enjoy a whole bowl without taking home leftovers. What to order: chả giò thịt, phở tái, phở dặc biệt" - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
