    Lamb tartare
    Jess F.

    The famous Nancy's Hustle absolutely lived up to the hype. Definitely the best out of the new American, small dish spots in Houston (in my humble opinion). The ambiance and service is absolutely phenomenal as well! We started off with the Green Flag, a basil based French 75, and a glass of Tempranillo. Sooo good. The infamous Nancy Cakes definitely met my expectations as well. Somehow they're light and dense at the same time, and the butter and roe are so flavorful with the light cakes. I loved them! The most memorable dish was the lamb tartare. I was blown away by the absence of the usual gaminess of lamb meat, which always scares me with lamb dishes. There was a bit of spice with the base sauce as well, and the charred sesame naan on the side was amazingggg. Definitely a favorite! The yellowtail crudo was a little bit spicy, a little more smoky, and very deep in flavor. Unfortunately we got this dish a bit later in the rotation so we were super full at this point, but I would definitely order again!! The uni crudo was definitely memorable, but probably my least favorite bite of the meal. Everything meshed together nicely, but honestly nothing really stood out within the bite. Probably wouldn't get this again, but I did enjoy it! The beef sticky rice was a side dish that surprisingly stood out! The toasted shallots and onions on top were delicious, and the rice was a perfect chewiness. It came with a fermented chili beurre blanc sauce that paired nicely as well. It helped that the sauce came in a cute little cow container! Finally, we had to get a unique dessert to finish off the meal. We got the Parmesan cheesecake with honey and pepper - this will live in my head forever. An unexpected savory sweet combination in a crustless cheesecake, with plenty of honey drizzle and peppercorns that balanced everything out. The drink pairing was super sweet but a great balance to the dessert! I will never forget this meal. I cannot WAIT to come back to Nancy's Hustle!

    Even on a weekday, Nancy's Hustle remained quite packed! The undisputed star of the show was the Nancy Cakes. The cake itself is incredibly fluffy, served with a generous amount of cultured butter. The addition of trout roe provides a brilliant sour tang and a salty pop that beautifully cuts through the richness. Lamb Dumplings: Prominent lamb flavor, which was perfectly balanced by a cool, yogurt-like sauce. You know it's good when you start slurping the sauce in fear that the waiter turning the corner might take the plate away. Wood Grilled Half Chicken: very juicy. Recommend getting it with the Beef Fat Fried Rice Beef Fat Fried Rice: At $10, it is good for the price and provides a nice savory backbone to the meal

    Walked in at dinnertime on a Thursday and was seated right away. I've only heard amazing things and came in with high expectations, but will say it was a little overhyped. Loved our server and we were checked in on very frequently. Intimate New York restaurant vibe, seems like a great date spot. For food, we ordered: - Nancy's cakes: definitely a standout dish. Perfect pairing of the honey in the cakes with the salted roe butter. - Wood fired half chicken: VERY tender. Leaned a bit on the salty side but the bed of oil/sauce under the chicken is great. - Beef fat sticky rice: leaned a bit on the salty side but lots of flavor from the beef fat. Shallots were a bit overpowering but loved all the textures. - Lamb dumplings: would skip on this dish personally. Couldn't taste the lamb too much but the sauce and seasoning were very nice.

    OVERVIEW: Well-known for a reason, this small, unassuming spot on the cozy corner of a neighborhood gives off casual wine bar and farm-to-table vibes. The food is well-crafted and offers unique flavors with fresh taste. Service is more lax than you would expect, but overall it lives up to the raving reviews. QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Tiny lot directly behind the restaurant or plenty of street parking in the area! - Reservations? Definitely recommended but not required. Would book for Friday-Sun. for sure. - Happy hour? No. FOOD RATINGS: - Lamb dumplings (5/5): Small but mighty in flavor, these were a popular dish and a great start to the meal. I would reorder these! - Nancy cakes (4/5): Who doesn't love a warm, fluffy, buttery bread? These come out steaming hot and the butter melts right in. Delicious but honestly a bit pricy for what it is. - Beef fat sticky rice (5/5): Loved this side dish! The flavor is so good and I love a good sticky rice. - Roasted lamb (3/5): This was good but some of the pieces were a little too rare for my liking, and there was one very distinct seasoning that overpowered the entire dish. I liked the mushrooms and sauce, though. Probably would opt for something else next time.

    Ribeye and Beef Fat Sticky Rice

    As we walked in, we were greeted and seated (we had a reservation). The server came to greet us and asked if it was our first time. Server took our drink order and answers questions. We placed our order and waited for our dishes. I noticed that not all servers and food runners described the dishes or explained how to best enjoy them--especially for dishes requiring a bit of guidance. To me, providing these details really elevates the dining experience; it shows a genuine passion for the food and ensures patrons enjoy each dish exactly as the chef intended. The Food: Nancy Cakes - fluffy pillows of deliciousness slathered in butter, roe and chives - 10/10 Gem Lettuce - crisp lettuce, anchovy, pancetta with sherry vinaigrette, nice balance of textures and flavors - 8/10 Oysters - cold briney goodness meets warm chorizo - 8/10 Cheese Burger - juicy, flavorful comfort in a muffin - 8.5/10 Grilled Ribeye - could have been a little more pink, lots of flavor, the sauce was so good - 9/10 Beef Fat Sticky Rice - if you like onions and rice - this is your dish - 7/10 Pistachio Pavlova - crispy and light meringue with a lemon bay leaf mousse and citrus to balance the sweetness... dining companions enjoyed this dessert- 10/10 This is a place for date nights and friends night out. Parking lot spaces are very limited but there is street parking. Make a reservation.

    Go here. One of my favorite restaurants in Houston. Extremely similar to Odd Duck Austin in the best way possible and not a single dish disappointed. Our server was great and was very kind, had good recommendations, and coursed out our meal perfectly. Everything was so delicious I can't even choose a favorite or rank them I'm not even a fan of burgers but this one was absolutely amazing. The lamb dumplings were also the best way to start our meal a the Nancy Cakes are worth the hype. Get the steak and sticky rice, no notes There's a decent sized parking lot connected to the restaurant and the ambiance is great for date night/girls' night

    Such a good date night dinner! It's so hard to snag a reservation at this spot. Although we went on a weeknight, the restaurant was still full! It's recommended for the dishes to be shared family style. Hubby and I split an assortment of dishes including: - croquettes (crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside) - crab stuffed chicken wings (loved the fish sauce caramel!) - Nancy cakes (a must try! Loved the saltiness of the trout roe) - lamb dumplings (smoky and savory) - shrimp cavatelli (loved the meatiness of the shrimp and the perfectly cooked pasta) - parmesan cheesecake (not sweet at all, the black pepper was a surprising touch) Service was great, and they staff always ensured your water cup was never empty. For drinks, I thoroughly enjoyed my clarified milk punch cocktail and hubby really enjoyed how refreshing his passion fruit mocktail was. Would return for a special night out.

    This was a place we had to check out after hearing about it and visiting their other restaurant. It's a smaller place so definitely get a reservation. We had about 6 people in our party, a nice size if you want a group big enough to order a little bit of everything. They have a small lot behind the restaurant to park in, but it's tiny so you may have to resort to street parking. The atmosphere reminds me of your typical intimate farm to table establishment. The service was good, they clearly help one another out. Now the food.... The food. Was. BOMB! There were so many items we ordered that were so delicious, it's hard to pick a favorite. The ribeye is a must. Normally, I'd opt tot do steak at home for a fraction of the price, but this steak was totally worth the price point and the cook time. It was seasoned extremely well and the rice it came it was also amazing. Another dish we loved was the tuna belly. The Nancy Cakes are a crowd favorite, and they do not disappoint. It should be on everyone's list to order.This is a place I'd come back to for a cute date night or girls night out.

    Butternut squash tortellini-L Several types of roasted mushrooms-R cocktail "satin doll"  MY DINNER
    Melissa C.

    January 19, 2026 I live in Galveston and my friend lives in Cleveland TX , we met for dinner after this local event in the city. Nancy's is small,quaint with great attention to detail. Love the RR, too! Great wallpaper with hidden surprises. The owner is Jason Vaughn, who is also a Chef. I asked several waitstaff who "Nancy" was and the stories varied depending who you asked. Our waitress told us "Nancy" is the owners chicken, the mgr heard it was Chef Vaughn's "drag name!" Lol! So basically no one knows, really. My friend got the cheeseburger/FF with water. I got the "satin girl" cocktail (their version of a daiquiri) for food I got, roasted mushrooms with buttered chickpea purée and butternut squash tortellini. EVERYTHING was flavorful and tapas size so we cleaned our plates! #oink!

    So excited we got to try Nancy's Hustle in a group of four during a recent Houston trip! I love trying a bunch of stuff on menus like this and I'm glad that the style is shareable plates because pretty much everything we tried was phenomenal. Service was attentive and great from the beginning; we had a few allergies and dietary restrictions and our server immediately grabbed one of our menus and carefully marked it up to indicate what was and wasn't safe for us to order. We knew the Nancy cakes were a must but our server also helped us pick several other items and made suggestions on how to build our menu for success! My favorite of the appetizers were the Nancy cakes (so pillowy and light, and went so well with the trout roe butter!) as well as the poached carrot and leek, which was billed as something akin to a vegetable crudo. It was super tangy and refreshing! The bluefin crudo was rich and decadent but a little bit too salty for me. The gem lettuce was also excellent - loved the brininess of the anchovies and the tart vinaigrette. For larger plates we ordered the butternut squash tortellini and the ribeye, which came with the beef fat sticky rice. Both dishes were phenomenal; the sweetness of the tortellini was delicious, and the ribeye was perfectly medium rare and had an excellent char. The sticky rice was super aromatic and tasty. We were so full at the end of the meal but couldn't resist ordering some desserts as well. The parmesan cheesecake was super interesting and decadent but we thought it could've used something fruity to break up the richness a bit. The standout star of the show was definitely the pistachio pavlova. All the textural and flavor contrasts were super on point; I'd happily eat one all by myself. Really happy with our meal here and would definitely come back to try more of the rotating menu!

    After hearing so many good things about this restaurant I was so excited to try, and it did not disappoint!! They have a small, rotating menu are dishes are designed to share. I loved getting to try so many different dishes! For four people, we got the gem lettuce, nancy cakes, oysters, butternut squash tortellini, pork chop, and burger. Everything was delicious!! The nancy cakes and burger are two of their more popular dishes, and I definitely understand why! The pancakes were so fluffy and the butter with fish eggs made it the perfect savory sweet appetizer. Their signature cocktails have some very interesting flavors, I got the winter margarita which didn't really taste like a margarita at all but was still yummy. Service was great, our server helped give us advice on the menu and timed our courses perfectly. Their restaurant is pretty small in a neighborhood area of EaDo. There is a small parking lot, and lots of street parking in the neighborhood nearby - just be prepared to walk a block or two.

    Good deed

    Nancy hustle is a cute little restaurant! The ambiance was very nice and we sat outside. With fans for the summer and heaters for the winter it was cozy! Our waitress was very helpful in helping us pick our food! We all liked the lamb dumplings and Nancy cakes! My hamburger was good! A little peppery and I prefer a normal bun to the English muffin it is served on. My finance and her sister split the butternut squash tortellini and the chicken and they liked both! The butternut squash was flavorful and had a nice crunch. The chicken was a large portion and had a bit of a kick with the chili sauce. We finished with the Parmesan cheesecake. My fiancé and I were "eh" on it but her sister LOVED it. It's an interesting dessert and is savory rather than sweet. Overall it was a good dinner! I'd recommend if you were in the area and id be back if I was close by.

    Imma tell ya what, you NEED to go try this place. Small parking lot out back for easy parking or plenty of street parking around the corner. The dinning room is cozy with tables, some booths and bar seating. I went with a party of three and we tried 4-5 different plates. Started with some drinks all pretty good, I tried the gin and bourbon one called colder room which I really enjoyed, it is fairly bitter so be carefully if you don't like that. Also had the moving target which was pretty good, just a lil too floral for myself. For appetizers we had the lamb dumping which are the best thing I've ever had, you must must try this...idk what flavor it was but it's it. The Nancy cakes are a must try, I wasn't the biggest fan but the butter/fish egg garnish brings a unique taste. The croquettes were really good, let them cool down cause the cheese just flows out. The burger was outstanding. Finished it off ribeye medium rare and it did not disappoint, the chipotle sauce or whatever it was is a pleasant touch. Really good food all around. The staff was also amazing, came around just enough but didn't over whelm, always refilling drinks and folding napkins, switching out plates and silverware. Gold stars for the staff. Very pleased all around.

    Are there gluten-free options or alternatives that can be done?

    No unless you count lettuce. Even the steak is marinated in soy which has gluten. They offer no gluten free menu choices.

    Is there valet?

    No there is not

    Does the burger come with fries?

    No. But you can order fries separately.

    Is there bar seating? And if so, is it first come first served?

    There is bar seating and you can join the waitlist as a walk-in. I went on 7:30 on a Friday without a reservation and we were asked if we would be fine with bar seating and were told the wait would be around 30min. We ended up getting a table before… Read more

    Are they open at lunch?

    No just for dinner

    Last time I came, there was one veggie option available - wanted to see if anyone has gone recently and have more options available?

    We went last night and there were a lot of veggie options not counting salads. The roasted mushrooms on chickpea puree were amazing.

    Do they currently have any vegan options on the menu?

    A ton!!

We arrived during happy hour (I believe it's from 4-7 PM), which was perfect. The space itself is super cute and cozy. When we first arrived it wasn't too crowded, but it definitely started filling up closer to 6 PM. For happy hour, we ordered several appetizers to share between the three of us: shrimp, Brussels sprouts, and truffle fries -- all were SO good. Later, we ordered two steaks with fries, which were amazing and came with a buttery sauce that really took them to the next level. I also ordered the lemon pepper buffalo wings, and those were absolutely delicious as well. The service was great, especially considering there were only about two or three people working. Everyone was attentive and friendly. If you're a wine lover, you'll enjoy the wine selection. I'm a big Pinot Noir fan, and while there was only one Pinot option, I loved it so much that I kept going back to it. The wine tasting option made it easy to try a few others before deciding. Prices were very reasonable -- not overpriced at all -- especially for the quality of the food and experience. We didn't make reservations and were able to walk right in, though I'd recommend reservations if you're going later in the evening since it does get packed. Roots is located right across from some apartments in the EADO area and made for the perfect girls' night out. Great food, great service, great vibes. I would absolutely recommend this place and will definitely be back!

So tender and practically melted in your mouth. Potatoes were yummy and soft! The beef skewers came out with great presentation but honestly were bit unimpressive. Not that flavorful. I did come with some amazing french fries though! We wrapped everything up with dessert. The Pudim de Banana was scrumptious. The passionfruit caramel was such a nice twist. We also got the Bolo de Bolacha. I highly recommend this dessert!! Instead of a ladyfingers they use Maria cookies and omg it makes a delicious difference.

Flying V Harvest was fantastic. I drank that broth like I just came out of the Sahara. So good. The Impossible meat fusion is a funny add but a good protein bump. It was a few days ago but I think I'm still full from that ramen bowl. The vibe is modern high ceiling bumping music; my in-laws found it to be too loud. I think they are giving you an excuse to lean in and get a little closer to your companion. The vibe is chic yet also casual so bring whoever you want but this would work for date night. The font on the menus is squint inducing so do your research ahead of time or prepare to spend more time perusing the menu than usual, especially with the dim lighting.

Their ramen is flavorful and solid and their service is consistent. Parking: parking is free in the garage around the corner from JINYA. We went during the week and the garage was not packed. There's also paid street parking around the restaurant that you can find but look for signs to know when you have to pay and when you don't. Service: service here is very good. They have an army of waitresses and waiters who check on tables and we never had to ask for refills or never had to flag down someone. Our food came out in a timely manner. The one thing I will say about service is the appetizers we ordered came out right before our ramen so we had all of our food at one time which was a lot. I wish they would've spaced out the food timing a little more. Ambiance: JINYA has a modern interior and open concept. They have tables, booths, and 2 big community tables in the center of the restaurant. The restaurant playlist is hip and modern. The inside of the restaurant is dimly lit so if you have bad eyesight, get ready to use your flashlight to read the menu. Food: we ordered two ramens and the gyoza and edamame. Gyoza: these were fried well and had a gyoza sauce that came on the table. The wrapper was thin and they were not too oily. We would order this again. Edamame: this was typical edamame. Nothing too special. Would not get this again when we come back. Creamy Classic Tori-Paitian: this is a chicken ramen with wavy noodles that came with fried enoki mushrooms, chicken chasu, butter, spinach and a corn rib. This ramen was rich in flavor and had so many fun, delicious toppings. The corn run was grilled nicely and I wish I had more of them in my bowl. I'm a sucker for enoki mushrooms and this did not disappoint. I took the enoki mushrooms out of the ramen immediately so they didn't get soggy fast and that was the move if you want the mushrooms to stay crunchy. The chicken broth was rich and light which was a great combo. I finished this bowl to the last drop. JINYA Chicken Ramen: my girlfriend got the chicken ramen with a side of bamboo. Warning on the bamboo: the bamboo comes dressed in sesame oil and sole hot oil so they are a little spicy. The chicken ramen broth was once again rich with flavor and light. The chicken chase was good and this ramen comes with thin noodles instead of wavy noodles. Overall JINYA hits the spot when craving ramen or some hot soup on a cold day. The chicken broth is legit and I will be closing back to try the pork broth soon. My only qualm with JINYA is the price at over $17 per bowl of ramen. There are cheaper ramen places but JINYA flavor makes up for the priciness.
