  The restaurant is called San Dong, it’s Taiwanese style food; the noodles are made in house and so are the wrappers for the dumplings. Their pan fried pork and cabbage or chives dumplings are super popular. There is a lot of diversity here in Asian cuisine. There is also a Asiatown in Katy and many Asia marts and restaurants in Sugarland. They just opened a huge Filipino market in SL called Seafood City.

  It’s a fantastic collection of restaurants, grocery stores and bakeries! It’s a shame though there really isn’t much public space or culture monuments- would love some arches and more walkable areas for events and such. It was awesome to go to high school in that area.

  As of 2017, Houston has been named the most diverse city in the country.  145 languages are spoken.  Hence, why the arts, food, and entertainment aspects are great!  Hope you enjoyed the city.  Glad you enjoyed Chinatown [Asiantown is more appropriate due to the different Asian cultures there]!

  Mike Chan came up from humble beginnings. I’ve watched him throughout the years. From your intro, I will follow you. You’ve opened up your horizons beside Asian cuisines. I live on Bellaire, Houston.

  That area is similar to parts of Los Angeles, where there are five Chinatowns. The oldest one has the dragon gateway and the Chinese style square full of 19th century Cantonese inspired movie-set architecture built in 1933 right in the old center of downtown LA (a typical old Chinatown like in New York, San Francisco, Boston, and Chicago). But beyond this, Los Angeles has four other Chinese areas in LA proper and its outskirts, all larger and more naturally evolved, and each the size of a small city: Monterey Park, Pomona, Arcadia, and the largest, comprising an entire area-code of it's own "The 626" (made from the cities of Alhambra, San Gabriel, and Rosemead). The Huston area reminds me of them: Malls packed with restaurants & stores.
