Ate at a Tiger Noodle in Rice village. This place that caters to college students is better than any chinese ive had in Austin.

There are, no doubt, 1000 Asian places in Houston that are just completely outstanding. That said, if you look for that sort of place, you can find a number of them in Austin now. We went to Special Noodle last night up 183, and it was fantastic and authentic as hell. A number of places on north Lamar, too. But they don’t get the Instagram buzz, and aren’t on the beaten path.
Whereas Houston is so hodge-podge, someone you might know is close to every such spot. No doubt, in looking for good Asian grub, it’s easier to find in Houston. But Austin has improved by leaps and bounds, you just don’t hear about it. Because influencers aren’t eating there, and this town’s entire scene is defined by fucking influencers.

Hu’s Cooking at Holcombe and Kirby is our go to Chinese when in town at MDA. I always hear a fair amount of chinese being spoken when we’re there, which is always a good sign.

Ate at this exact location about 6 years ago while in town for work. Don’t recall what I had, but I remember everything was great. I enjoyed that area way more than the usual areas I stayed in Houston for work. Looking at you League City.

You just basically said Houston is Lagos.

Explains why Nigerians don't miss a beat in Houston.

I transferred back to Houston from Lagos.  There are some similarities, that's for sure.  But at least the part of Lagos we were in had a fairly constant sea breeze blowing most of the time.  That was nice even though it was still hot af.

Houston’s breeze is either just from a car flying by at 70 mph or it’s basically a refinery’s hot stinky fart
