I sometimes eat here 2-3 times a week. It is an incredible Thai/American food restaurant. I was reluctant to try this place since it looks like a dive on the outside, but i kept noticing the parking lot was packed even on random weeknights. If you go, try the country fried steak, lemongrass beef vermicelli bowl, or the shaking beef.

Drinks & Nightlife
My favorite bar in Houston. It is located in actual Downtown. It's located above a law office and is small and quaint with a good roof patio. At times, there can be a wait, but it's definitely worth it.

A mixology bar that makes some of the best drinks in Houston. I prefer a bourbon sour since its properly made with real egg whites. It's a little pricy as most drinks are $10-$12, but its worth the price for a great drink.

I would recommend going to Downtown to get drinks if you're looking to bar hop and hang around a young professional crowd. I prefer this over Midtown since the bars are a little bit classier and you're surrounded by skyscrapers. Okra and Captain Foxhearts are my two favorite bars downtown.
