Golden Foods Supermarket. It's new and has fresh seafood all the time.

Houston Skyline in a Sea of Fog Enjoy!

Chinatown does have boundaries. It is between Beltway 8 East to Gessner Rd. North from Bellaire Blvd. to Harwin. Here is a map http://www.chinatownconnection.com/houston-chinatown-map.htm with the shaded area being Chinatown.

I would say Sugar Land. Schools are better, ranked top 3 in the U.S. as best place to live, and close to Houston's Chinatown on Bellaire. If you have not checked out a place to find alot of info on Houston, and Houston's Asian Community, visit the website in my sig. Welcome to Houston!

Hi there, just browsing the forum and saw your question. Here is a place to help you answer your questions: Houston Asian Restaurants Guide. It has a list of top Chinese restaurants picks, great place to eat Sichuan Hot Pot (Sichuan Cuisine in New Chinatown), and of course favorite dim sum places.

I'd give http://www.chinatownconnection.com a shot. It has an up-to-date events in Houston page, Houston attractions, nightlife, shopping guide, and an Asian Restaurant Guide

Fuddruckers. Everytime someone leaves from our company, we take them to Fuddruckers for their last meal:)

I know I am a bit biased but.. The best Houston Chinatown guide and Asian restaurant guide, ChinatownConnection.com.

Has anyone noticed the plants being planted in the median of Bellaire Blvd. in Chinatown? The beautification process has begun.

Well first off, I must say Seattle is one beautiful city. The scenery, especially Mt. Rainer, the skyline, Pugeot Sound, etc.. Yes the weather is gloomy at times, but it is still a beautiful city. It is also rich in culture especially the Chinatown-International District. We just got done with our Seattle, Chinatown-International District Guide. There is an enormous amount of attractions, history, and culture to see and do. The food is terrific too! The King Salmon is one dish anyone must try when visiting Seattle. Of course there is your "every block Starbucks, Seattle's Best Coffee, or I think its Trudy's?? or something coffee house.

Well whenever me and my friends go chill out, we go to Tea Cafe or Tapioca House (when not in mood for alcoholic beverages of course). These two places offer bubble tea aka boba tea, milk tea, tapioca tea, etc.. The atmosphere and environment is also very nice. Plus they both offer free internet access so a lot of students and business people go hangout there too. To me, it is the Starbucks and bar alternative.

Hey that looks nice. Yeah if that were to pop up in that area, wow that would fill a major void in Downtown

They have given up the Old Chinatown. They as in the entire Chinese population in Houston. The new Chinatown in Southwest Houston is replacing it and will become the next tourist attraction for Houston without a doubt. So much has already been invested and there will be more to come. The old downtown Chinatown is a thing of the past. Regardless, Houston is so big and spread out, location of Chinatown makes little difference.

My take is that there is just not enough promotion and exposure for Houston. My site ( in my sig) points out all the attractions, events, shopping, Chinatown, etc. there is to do here and when and if the site gets out into the public (that is outside of Texas), then people will know more about Houston and yes we do have things and activities and fine arts to do here. We have the population, definitely the culture and, we have the activities. So now we just need to spread the word.

Your welcome. We hope everyone can find it beneficial and resourceful!

NTDTV 2006 Chinese New Year Global Gala in Houston. Sunday, February 19, 2006, 7:30pm. NTDTV is excited to announce the performance of our 2006 Chinese new year Global Gala in Houston, at the beautiful and elegant Stafford Centre Performing Arts Theatre. Entitled "Myths and Legends," the show blends Chinese and Western performances into an energetic mix of song, dance, drama and humor, with a twist. While they dazzle with color and sound, the mythology conveyed through many of the performances opens a world of often forgotten Chinese culture to its audiences. The "Myths and Legends" presented provide a vehicle to reconnect Chinese people with their rich heritage, and westerners with a world of traditions unknown, but yet deeply moving. As Rutang Chen, a world-class musician and last year's Artistic Director explained,

This post might be a bit late but if might help others out. Check out the link in my sig. It will have a variety of things to do in Houston including entertainment, bars, nightlife, events, and more. It also is the most comprehensive Asian guide so if you want to do a bit of sightseeing and stuff, it will definitely help you out. Enjoy!

Another good Chinese restaurant in Houston is Noodle House. They have one of the best Taiwanese food in town. I tried their sizzling iron steak with noodles and it was mouth-watering. They are located in the heart of Houston Chinatown on Bellaire Blvd. See my sig for detailed map and directions.

**Update** It looks like it may rain Saturday, HOWEVER, the festival will be indoors if it does rain and will continue as scheduled. All the fun and entertainment will be held inside the community center basketball arena (fairly big) if it rains. So come on out and celebrate the Year of the Dog.

Oh yeah I know what you mean. The closest Japanese restaurant I have been to with taking the shoes off and sitting on the floor to eat was this place in Austin. I can't remember the name but I do remember the traditional Japanese style dining. Very neat experience.

I ate at Zake Japanese Cuisine yesterday and I liked the contemporary/fusion restaurant layout. After reading them on Houston Chinese Restaurants Guide, a really good source for Asian dining in Houston, I decided to venture out and check out this place. They have both a restaurant section and a lounge section. I have never quite seen anything like it because it has a bit of club feel to it. Zake has DJ spinning dance music every Friday and Saturday night too. Zake is also a good place to meet a lot of young professionals. I like their sushi alot. Definitely A+ in my opinion.
