It looks to be a 2-story steel frame structure. Thought this topic had it's own thread and can't find it, so replying here: it looks like work, after a 1-2 year hiatus, has started again on the new Hefley's/Fuzzy's Taco building. Dupont Tyvek siding has been going up this week. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrapefruitTea Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Sounds like they are planning to open this location this summer. I've been to the Seattle-area locations. Don't think they are as good as Din Tai Fung but still a welcome addition to this area. https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/dough-zone-chinese-restaurant-soup-dumpling-midtown-galleria-1/ "A representative tells CultureMap that Dough Zone has leased the former Ibiza space in Midtown (2450 Louisiana St.) for a restaurant that will open this summer" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new application is pending for Green Tree, which is a possible hint at Lebanon (probably a hookah lounge, and possibly a restaurant component based on the FB application). The LLC applicant is controlled by Maroun Sawma who is affiliated with Taiga, another midtown club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still mad about the naming of Taiga. Just about the least Houston biome there is. It's like they don't even care about geographic accuracy!!

tigereye Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Calais Midtown recently created ground floor retail space at Building 1 across from Artisan’s. It would appear the space has now been leased to a boba tea shop, Feng Cha. https://instagram.com/fengchamidtown?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Malai Thai Street Eats coming to 2900 Travis St. B. It's going to be next to Cali Sandwich and Pho. Picked up a banh mi today from there. One of the owners said that he has seen workers at the spot right next to him. He also said there have been about 4 restaurants that didn't last long and the location might be jinxed. Cali draws a large crowd and parking is hard to come by during lunch, another food place is going to tough to find parking. https://www.instagram.com/malaithaistreetfoodhull/?hl=en 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I used to work downtown, Cali was the preferred go-to whenever anyone in the office was in the mood for a banh mi, but I haven't been there in quite a while. Good to know they're still a benchmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know they're still a benchmark. I was told they were better during lunch. Went during Dinner and the bread was concrete. Also, I really dislike the heavy vinegar sriracha sauces they use. Pho Binh also switched to Tabasco brand and it's not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've only ever been there for lunch, which is when I'd guess the majority of their business is done. I read an article the other day about an ongoing sriracha shortage due to supply chain constraints affecting the producer of the sriracha sauce almost everyone uses, Huy Fong Foods in Rosemead, CA. It sounded crazy, with restaurants hoarding what they had and paying exorbitant prices in the regular retail market whenever some turned up there, since the usual wholesale suppliers couldn't get it.

I'm sadly aware. Wish they would use a closer substitute. Instead they use the vinegar heavy ones 🤢 Will have to go back for lunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
