I mean my pocket book is probably better for it because I want to buy the whole store but honestly I've been missing out. The place is cute and welcoming from the corner sign on the building to the moment you step in- bright, inviting, great displays so you know where to go. You can't get lost in here with the signage, but you can't definitely get lost in the aisles with all the great, unique choices. The ready food display has so many Mediterranean treats, some I've had before some I've never heard of and everything I tried was amazing. We got the cabbage rolls and Armenian veggie dolmas. Great flavor, both specific items I haven't had before. Nice citrus, spiced flavor to these. I'd say they're have to try items. Not only found jarred tomato paste, which I've been on the hunt for but they had choices in this category and that's another first for me. Will have to go back and try the others. Also got the cured Serrano ham -amazing. And I thought the prices were going to be insane having a spot right in the middle of the city and nope- pleasantly surprised for my goodies, great prices even less than some of the other stores I frequent in the suburbs. I'll be back again and again and again until I try the whole store lol. Definitely give them a try, you won't regret it

My niece and I checked out Phoenicia's for lunch, which was surprisingly delicious…read more My niece has simplistic tastes, so she opted for the chicken burger, which I tried of course. Perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior. The sweet potato fries were equally delicious. I got the Hill Country salad. Same tender but crispy chicken on a bed of greens with berries. So good. Definitely bookmarked as a return option.

We secured a table without difficulty, and the staff were attentive, accommodating, and welcoming throughout dinner. The portions struck an excellent balance: satisfying while leaving room to explore the menu and enjoy dessert. The drinks were equally impressive, complementing the food and contributing to a well-rounded meal. The setting brings it all together. The dining room is lively, and the décor gives it a distinct personality without sacrificing comfort. It feels like a place where you can settle in, enjoy good conversation, and make an evening of dinner. Traveler's Table gets the combination right: memorable food, excellent drinks, thoughtful service, and an inviting atmosphere. An enthusiastic five stars.

Nut allergy friendly: No issues here…read more Parking: In the neighborhood. I parked on Genesee Street just on the way there. Time to Order: 15 Minutes Got here around 6PM and it was relatively empty. There's nice patio seating outside with a little radio playing, and plenty inside with A/C. We mentioned we wanted to eat there and were told to sit anywhere and they took our orders pretty quickly. I ordered a Midtown burger, and my friend ordered a classic. We got normal fries and onion rings to share. Midtown burger (3.5/5): It's just a tad too pricey for what you get. A great classic burger size but the patty is just a little small and the toppings look a little too shabby. If the onion ring were a bit bigger or just another piece of bacon or just a tad more jalapeno... Maybe. Nevertheless I was decently full afterwards, but I'd say it's a mid burger for the price. Onion Rings (4/5): Four out of five for only four onion rings for $4. $1 per onion ring! They're one of my favorite styles though, deep crispy bite on a large onion ring. It's really good. If only there was like, one more onion ring, or if it was a dollar cheaper, it'd be perfect. Fries (4.5/5): Maybe the best part of the meal? They look a bit soggy but they're actually decently crispy. Fried in beef tallow fat, they're actually quite flavorful. Maybe the best part of the meal for me, definitely worth it. It's not cash only anymore! I paid via inKind with no issues.

I will say, I'm not sure if they have ac but even in the midst of houston summer, it was still nice inside with fans. My partner and I took food to go but I still found the decor fun and nostalgic. I got the chili dog along with brisket fries. I enjoyed the chili dog, very classic chili , cheese, hot dog in a bun. I did think the bun was a bit dry but the chili helped a bit. The brisket fries were good with a sweet bbq sauce with a very familiar flavor I couldn't place. It had some nice chunks of brisket as well and was a decentish portion, along with my chili dog it was a filling meal. When we went there was one cashier/server at the front of the house and he was working his butt off. Hats off to him for managing everything as a single person out front, keeping up and still being friendly.

Tasty food, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere, what more can one ask for? We had two plates of brisket - half and half (lean and fatty) and chopped. Mac & cheese, potato salad, and creamed corn. And both types of puddings! The brisket was so tender and fell apart easily, which also went very well with the spicy bbq sauce. The chopped brisket was tasty too and went great with all the sides and the piece of bread. Everything was so good and to the point, which made it such a comfort food. If I really had to nitpick, I felt the potato in the potato salad was slightly underdone and crunchy, but not a big deal. Mac & cheese hit the spot and wow, the cream corn came out hot and was such a hit! The surprise standout for me was the banana pudding. It was perfectly sweet, delicious, and somehow didn't feel too heavy at all! I'm still craving it and wish I lived closer to this area just so I can swing by anytime. They also have a great assortment of beverages and a cute little souvenir stand. Definitely recommend!

Unfortunately, down to 1 star. I gave them multiple tries since they changed owners. I really…read morehoped they would at least be decent quality, if not as good as the original owners, especially since they are the only Chinese roast meat option in Downtown anymore. But no... The cleanliness on the last two visits killed all desire to return. On one of the two occasions, I ordered a whole duck as part of my order. While chopping the duck, one of the leg quarters fell on the floor. I happened to be looking right at the guy as it happened. He stopped, slowly peered AROUND the hanging meats to see if I was looking. We made eye contact. He reluctantly sliced off a leg quarter from a hanging duck. Yeah, I know what you were going to do if I wasn't looking. The second time (I can't believe I went back after that duck leg incident), another fella was grabbing the styrofoam to-go boxes to package up an order. Two floated to the ground. I don't care how it hit the floor, the boxes hit a dirty floor. He picked them up, placed them right back on the clean stack of boxes to be used. If that's how they operate out in the open, I don't want to know how they operate behind the doors. That's a hard no for me.

While the food is enjoyable, it doesn't quite reach the level of exceptional to warrant a higher rating especially because it's not as crispy as pelicana/bon chon or kbbq wings.

I swear the Bulgogi Fries were screaming my name, though. Yoyo's Hotdog - Yoyo--YO. This thing slaps. I definitely craved a Coke or a beer while eating this because that salt kicks your taste buds' *ss. The caramelized onions paired with the crunchy onions were a double whammy that could topple a few hot dog title holders. The real winner, though, was the sauce--definitely something Asian-inspired. But hey, I'm running on five hours of sleep, and that's the best my smooth brain could come up with to describe the experience. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

I got their famous hotdog with spicy mayo, french onion, sautéed onions, and hot sauce. (That's how it comes standard) don't get me wrong it's definitely a lot going on from the flavors and the messiness of the dog, but the flavors balance out very well and the all beef hot dog is delicious. There's no spice from the mayo or hot sauce so if you don't like spice you'll be fine. I also tried their bulgogi fries which came with bulgogi meat, jalepenos, cheese and cilantro. My first reaction was it was delicious but it wouldn't be something I would get again, but after I kept eating it I realized this is actually really good and now when I go back I'll definitely try it again. Overall I definitely recommend this place to visitors or even locals

The whole food hall probably has a different feel depending on if you're here during work hours vs theatre hours. Unironically the best sushi restaurant in Downtown Houston, since Covid killed all the others. With a large selection of rolls taking up most menu. Went through like 4 of them and they all tasted good. Fair Mix of textures and flavors. Rolls come in pieces of 10, so it's great for sharing. Fish was fresh tasting as well, no need to pass on this place because it's not brick and mortar sushi restaurant.

Service is pretty minimal; they take your order and you go and pick up your order when it's ready. We tried a bunch of items on the menu; from the tuna tower to the specialty rolls and crudo. For the price point, it's very similar to Bluefish and Azuma. There's quite a bit of fusion style. The sashimi and crudo were both alright, and the rolls were also good but also somewhat forgettable and basic (like you've had elsewhere). Overall, it seems like a quick lunch stop style sushi spot in a nice and new food hall. Is it mind blowing? Nope, but everything is also on par with a mid- level sushi restaurant.
