Super cute ice cream shop that makes small-batch, handcrafted ice cream! We've been big fans since their humble beginnings at their first shop in West U. Now, they have two other locations in River Oaks and Downtown! They offer a wide variety of ice cream and cone flavors—plus, they have vegan options (both ice cream and cones) for our plant-based friends! 🌱 Here are a few flavors we tried and loved: 🎄 Gingerbread 🎄 Peppermint Bark 🥭 Mango Pie (vegan and our favorite flavor!) 🍓 Raspberry Tres Leches 🍰 Rainbow Cake (with chunks of cake made in-house!) P.S. Their Regent Square location is such a vibe at night—perfect for a cozy dessert outing! 🌙 #icecream #desserts #houstontexas #htx

You might know Goode Co Seafood for their iconic Amtrak restaurant in Westpark, but if you're looking for the same delicious flavors in a larger and ✨ fancier ✨ setting, then you've got to check out their Memorial location! We ordered the Pearl Seafood Tower, Gulf Red Snapper, Crab Cake, and of course, no visit would be complete without their fresh Gulf Oysters. 😋 This location is great for parties, and if you want something private, there's an upstairs room that fits up to 40 guests! P.S. Don't leave without ordering their legendary Pecan Pie, it's our absolute favorite in town! 🥧 #seafood #houstontexas #htx #houstonfood

AFFORDABLE CHINESE COMFORT FOOD 🍜🥟 San Dong Noodle House has been on our list forever, and we finally stopped by—and wow, we might have just found our new go-to spot for fresh noodles and dumplings! Nestled in the heart of Chinatown Houston, they’re famous for their pork chive dumplings and pan-fried dumplings, and let me tell you, they absolutely live up to the hype. We also tried their Beef Noodle Soup, which is a must-order. The noodles were perfectly chewy, the broth was packed with flavor, and the whole bowl felt like a warm hug—exactly what you need in this chilly weather. Best part? Everything we ordered was under $30, and the portions were super generous! Oh, and don’t miss their takeaway section if you want to grab fresh noodles, steamed buns, or frozen dumplings to enjoy at home. #dumplings #houstonfood #chinesefood #htx #houstontexas

AUTHENTIC VIETNAMESE STEAMED ROLLED RICE CAKES 🍴 Growing up, Bánh Cuốn—Vietnamese steamed rolled rice cakes—was a breakfast staple in our home. These delicate, silky rice crepes filled with savory meat and veggies are pure comfort food. When I found out Chex Beignet serves freshly made-to-order Bánh Cuốn, I couldn’t resist giving it a try—and wow, they were absolutely incredible! It’s no surprise they’ve been around for over 100 years. I originally went just for the Bánh Cuốn, but their menu has so much more to offer, including their iconic beignets, which they’ve been perfecting for over 20 years! 📌 Save this spot for your next foodie adventure—whether you grew up eating this dish or are ready to try something new! #banhcuon #vietnamesefood #houstontexas #htx #houstonfood
