What's you're favorite non-chain restaurant in Houston?

For me, it would either have to be Kanomwan Thai restaurant. How about you guys?

We like Michiru sushi. Foods great, and the atmosphere is nice.

Best restaurant in the Houston area, hands down, is Chez nous french restaurant in Humble. Yes, Humble! Amazing french food in an intimate, romantic setting. And for what you're getting, (premium quality ingredients, gourmet cooking by a talented chef, etc) the prices are more than fair. Great place for your anniversary, wife's birthday, V-day, to propose, etc.

Van Loc vietnamese in midtown on Milam is the greatest restaurant! You can get a huuuge bowl of chicken (omg) vermicelli for about $6. It is DELICIOUS!

For sushi, the best place is Tomo sushi. Honestly, they were MUCH better when they were still Yan Sushi, and I knew the manager. They have changed management, and changed the restaurant, changed the hours and are making it extremely trendy. However, they still have a great happy hour, and their sushi is SUPERB, and drastically cheaper and tastier than any chain!

Bubba's burgers for the greatest buffalo burger you've had.
