It's pretty clean, they must put a lot of effort into Sterl-ization…read more
If you've gone blind from Sterling at the sun, you can come here (perhaps after dark) and I'll lead you to some miraculous boba.
If it seems that people are staring at you in this plaza, don't take it personally... they're probably sterling at you rather than staring at you.
Featuring H-Mart and so much more, this is one of the largest and most thriving plazas in Chinatown Houston which is one of the most thriving Chinatowns in the western world. It's not quite as intense and packed full of stuff as the massive Dun Huang complex across the street, but it more than holds its own in terms of bakeries, boba, and brilliant noms.
Sterling is a wide-open, clean, and new-ish looking really lovely Plaza right across from DH, and seems to get somewhere between 50-75% of the business that DH gets, mostly for H Mart, 7 Leaves and 85 Degree Bakery, plus a lot of other less busy but sometimes even more brilliantr places, especially Mr Wish, which is one of the best boba shops in Texas, and probably the best fruit tea provider in the state.
Another wonderful Boba shop here is Modern Tea, and Tea 4 U has some wonderful employees and owners, as well as the wonderful 85 Degree Bakery which is a chain but it's one of the best locations quality wise (if not always service wise), and open late, as well as the very popular 7 Leaves with some great employees and a really cute ice cream shop named Bae, imported from Los Angeles (first location outside Cali), and where a lot of hotties can be found (and coldies, ice cream wise), and some excellent restaurants as well - for example King Flavor and Sinh Sinh.
Now I've made a Sterling effort to describe it, I'm moving on.
