Chef Uno has created a fast-casual concept that continues to evolve with exciting new dishes (mainly Thai and Vietnamese) along with inventive cocktails (including canned concoctions, adult Capri Suns, and the perfect-for-summer 169-calorie frozen Ranch Water). The new Farmers Branch location boasts an amazing, dog-friendly patio perfect for day drinking, too. Even if you like things spicy, beware the Damn Damn Hot Noods because they definitely burn, but they’re oh-so-good. Duck-fat Fried Rice is another all-time favorite, or opt for customized bowls, noodles, and rice dishes with the restaurant’s signature umami-enhanced Yakitori Skewers (chicken, pork, or steak) grilled over binchotan charcoal.

Though <a href="http://www.kirincourt.com/" rel=" noopener" target="_blank">Kirin Court</a> (deservedly) gets a lot of the attention for its dim sum in Richardson, there’s a tiny little spot across the street with some of the tastiest Chinese food in all of North Texas—and rarely any wait. Try the signature Sesame Cake to share (a dense, layered bread loaded with sesame seeds and amazing alongside a family-sized bowl of Hot &amp; Sour Soup). Then move onto dishes that go beyond the typical Chinese-American offerings. Favorites include the simple-yet-incredible Salt-and-Pepper Fried Fish, Shredded Pork with Leeks, and Tea-smoked Duck with Pancake. How to support: Stop by for first come, first served seating.
