  • Banana Leaf

    9889 Bellaire Blvd. Outer Loop - SW

    713-771-8118

    Banana Leaf is one of the few Malaysian restaurants in town, but it's the best. The friendly service and exciting dishes, such as the sweetly spicy sambal shrimp or the hand-tossed roti canai, make the restaurant a destination despite its casual atmosphere and low prices. Take advantage of its generous BYOB policy and bring a bottle of Riesling to supplement the savory pan-Asian cuisine.

  • Banana Leaf

    9896 Bellaire Blvd. Outer Loop - SW

    713-271-2338

    The second location of Banana Leaf offers the same solid menu of Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine, ranging from chow fun to Thai-style soft shell crab, but in a much larger space. You can get private rooms here or a spot in one of the palapa-shaded booths if you're lucky. It's still BYOB (with no corkage fee), but you'll still have to wait for a table on busy nights.

  • HK Dim Sum

    9889 Bellaire Blvd. Outer Loop - SW

    713-777-7029

    Dim sum is the draw here, especially on weekdays when few other dim sum restaurants are open, but the restaurant also serves Malaysian dishes. The dim sum is excellent; however, the odoriferous Malaysian dishes are not for everyone's palates. But if you are an adventurous diner, take advantage of the rare opportunity to order a little of everything HK Dim Sum has to offer.

  • Straits Restaurant

    800 Sorella Ct. #940 Outer Loop - NW

    713-365-9922

    Straits serves modern Singaporean cuisine with Thai and Vietnamese influences with a lounge-like atmosphere in CityCentre near Memorial. Hip decor, a large outdoor dining area and swift, friendly servers make it an upscale hangout by night and a relaxing lunch spot by day. The San Francisco-based restaurant has adapted well to Houston thanks to Chef John Sikhattana, who runs a tight ship and keeps the food hot, fresh and spicy—just as Singaporean dishes should be. Standouts include the whole fried striped bass, a creamy-sour laksa noodle soup, fragrant Hainan chicken and the flaky, addictive roti prata.
