The most difficult part about this visit was figuring out where to go since this more of a kiosk than a storefront, so there's no suite number.

Also, there are two stores right across the street from each other. Now, each building houses its own inventory, and what's across the street is totally different from the store across from it. Once inside, I will say the selection varies from one shop to the next. I can honestly say you will find what you are looking for or even more things you didn't know you liked. Now, my heart lies with all things gems, beads, and stones. But I soon kept wondering and discovered there were these cute scarves for a really great price that I adored.

Contrary to the name claim, there is nothing Hong Kong about this mall. It should have been named Saigon City Mall which would have been more appropriate. Aside from the huge anchor Asian grocery store in the middle, the mall is flanked by an assortment of Vietnamese-oriented beauty/cosmetics, nail, phone, apparel, gifts, pho and Asian-centric mom-n-pop stores with a sleepy food court on one end. There are quite a few signs pointing to Massage upstairs. The other prominent anchor tenant is Shabu Zone. Generally, around 50% of the stores were closed. Parking lot is Lone Star state size. Nothing else exciting to write about. Certainly, a coulda, shoulda, woulda experience. Sure you'll like this mall if you want to experience Vietnamese culture.

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.

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.

It was once known as Sterling Golden Market Center to real estate professionals. I like the huge parking lot. I haven't yet seen it filled until 85C Bakery Cafe arrived at the southeast corner of the mall. There are 3 distinguished buildings: - 9896 Bellaire is facing the Boulevard and all suites are in alphabets. It starts from the left at Chengdu Taste and ends at Arco - 9888 Bellaire is on the east end with an L shape building. All suites are numeric. Starts at Tian Tian Lu Chuaner (suite 102) and ends at Uyghur Bistro (suite 168). - 9968 Bellaire is on west end as it runs to the end of property. Suites are also numeric starts with Hong Kong Seafood City (suite 100) and ends with Dragon Foot Relax (suite 250B). After my extensive research about Sterling Plaza, there were some connection about precious metals in its name. The first supermarket was called New Golden Supermarket (suite M). A couple hints are Golden Dumpling House (suite A) and Golden Beauty Salon (suite 115). I have to guess Sterling is silver. They compliment in many ways to represent prosperity. I dislike the numbering schematics. Hmart is Suite M. Taste of Chengdu is Suite A. I would never guessed Arco Seafood is Suite K. There's a secret passage behind Uyghur Bistro.

The pluses here are that the parking garages all have free spaces, there's some parking lots to the south with plenty of space; which is great since paying for the street parking is a misuse of private funds in addition to being inconvenient. There's a ton of foot traffic here on Thursday- Sundays from the non office folks hanging around city center. Lots of restaurants are in walking distance from most of the office buildings, with my personal pick being the Chipotle for quick and solid fast casual food and Taste of Texas being the higher end steakhouse with a personality. I don't care much for most of the stores here as I feel they're more a storefront and advertisement than anything else since I've never really bought anything from this area.
