Chinatown, Alief

Some of the best plazas are (sigh) gone, but this one remains, and is the heart of "Vietnamesetown"…read moreas my friend called it, the other day, correcting me when I called it Chinatown. Indeed, Teaholic has some wonderful Vietnamese drinks and a lot of delicious Boba, such as the Strawberry Black Tea which is one of the best of its kind anywhere. And the Strawberry Aloe reminds me of the Aloe Refresher from Fruitealicious in Dallas. Amazing. Bambu, next door, is the very best location of the Viet dessert and drink chain, making some of the best smoothies you'll ever have - especially the Honeydew, the Taro Coconut, the Mocha, and the Berry. But there's a lot more than just Viet stuff here, with amazing Korean Chicken (Lim's) as well as soups and stews and rice stone pot bowls aplenty. Zero Degrees (Cali chain) has a wonderful and popular location here, with their Strawberry Mojito and Strawberry Lime drinks off the charts, and their Cucumber Lime, Viet Coffee, Strawberry Horchata, and more, also stellar. Not a fan of Chili and Mango stuff, but their Mangonada is famous and popular too. And they do split cups (so does Teaholic). Long Coffee, Kravin, a location of the chain Mango Mango, and other spots in this plaza, are also well worth a visit. Parking and access can be really difficult, but then the same can be said about my gf. And now she's (sigh) gone.

Great selection of food and seafood. Was a very good experience. I like the new varietyread more

I have always loved this mall! It's the perfect size, especially when you're coming to shop for…read moresomething specific but you don't have all day to spend shopping. The store selection is great. They have big department stores such as Macy's, JCPenney and Dillard's. They also have a large selection of other stores that I love shopping at, such as Sephora, Lush, Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, Famous Footwear, etc. The typical stores you'd want to find in a mall! They also have a HUGE Target connected to the mall and a really nice movie theater, too. Oh! And an ice skating rink, which I've done once before. The food court here is also really nice with lots of different options, which is great for those occasions when you are spending an entire day shopping around. This mall has always been so clean! Something I've always appreciated. And even when it's busy and packed, it's not unbearable. It's one story (although a few of the department stores have a second floor) and easy to navigate! Plus there is a LOT of parking, which is something I've never struggled with. Pro Tip: I've always parked near JCPenney as that parking lot is RARELY ever full, plus there's less car traffic over there. They also have a parking garage in this area, which is super nice on rainy days as you can get inside without getting rained on.

Its size is slightly larger than average. Plenty of parking but sometimes you have to park far and…read morewalk a little to enter the mall. To me personally, the food court often feels crowded and cramped.

Dynasty Plaza - Mala Hotpot

Chinatown, Sharpstown

Dynasty Mall is NOT closed…read more Inside the mall is a quiet oasis. There are many empty spaces, but I go there for IBUN'S vegetarian dishes. I also saw a beauty school, a Christian store and some other businesses. Ding Tea and China Gourmet are connected to the front lobby of the mall. There are more businesses, like a dental office, upstairs. A new hotpot all-you-can-eat is opening very soon! The real change is in the connected strip center. Popular eateries like Le Lai and IWA YA were joined by the likes of MIÁN (Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognized California import), Yin Ji Chang Fen ("The King of Chang Fen", chain from Guanzhou) and Old Alley Hot Pot (rebranded XiaoLongKan franchise). Regarding towing, I'd tell the plaza owners to look into a possible kickback scheme their security guard has with a towing company that is costing them lots of disgruntled "never-coming-back" ex-customers posting terrible reviews.

Disappointing plaza that actively engages in predatory towing. Based on other reviews, it is…read morefrequent and happens to people who are still paying customers of the plaza. Parked for less than 30 minutes and was still a customer of the plaza. Less than visible signage and disgustingly less than helpful security. I hope management understands why the plaza is failing. Not because people are taking parking, but because they are driving away customers. I frequented this plaza when Snowy Village was present. Unfortunately, I will never be coming back here as a customer for any of the businesses.
