Houston Neighborhoods for Serious Foodies

Houston’s inner loop (including Montrose, Downtown, and Rice Military) houses several of the city’s culinary heavy hitters but the city certainly has a few hidden gems up their sleeve to eat your heart out:

Pearland

Surprisingly, Pearland is neither known for a rich food scene nor a plethora of renowned restaurants, but what it lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality in a big serving.  It plays home to a powerhouse trio of restaurants with the meanest meat dishes on this side of the city. The homegrown flavors that match the sumptuous servings of burgers and prime rib roasts make it a meat-lovers paradise. Locals also get to indulge their sweet tooth in Pearland’s very own Donut Heaven while anyone looking for nightcaps can easily chug a few mugs at German Biergarten.

Asiatown

Formerly known as Chinatown, Houston’s now diversified Asiatown is an enclave of cultural influences that include Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Korean, Japanese, Thai, and a whole lot more. This six-mile strip along Southwest Houston is home to strip after strip of family-owned restaurants, specialty Grocery Stores (the likes of H-Mart and Viet Hoa International Foods), as well as shopping and other dining destinations which include Harwin Drive and the Hong Kong City Mall. Locals and tourists can easily satisfy their cravings with dozens of international culinary spots that serve anything your taste buds desire, from fusion food to more authentic eastern delicacies.
