New Flavors Hit Houston: Dumplings, Seafood, and Pizza Buffets Join the Dining Scene

There are now three new restaurants in Greater Houston. These restaurants offer a diverse selection of dishes, including Asian-style dumplings, fresh fish, and hearty pizza buffets.

The first restaurant is located at 12361 Barker Cypress Road, Suite A. 900, in Cypress. 900, in Cypress, and it opened on October 22. The restaurant's website says the main item on the menu is freshly made dumplings, available in soup, boiled, steamed, and pan-fried styles. It also serves noodles, veggie food, and chef specials like sesame chicken and walnut shrimp. "We wanted to offer real flavors in a casual setting," a company spokesperson said. Chowbus lets you order from the restaurant online.

A new Liberty Kitchen opened on November 5 at 5212 Morningside Drive in Houston's Rice Village neighborhood. Liberty Kitchen is renowned for its raw bar and fish inspired by the Gulf Coast. Its Memorial and River Oaks locations are already well known. Chesapeake crab balls, buttermilk lobster bites, and chargrilled Gulf oysters are some of the most popular items on the menu. There is also sushi and sashimi at the place, like black truffle hamachi, citrus chili salmon, and tuna poke. Someone from the company said, "We're proud to bring our coastal kitchen experience to another Houston neighborhood."

For pizza fans, Mr. Crunch Pizza Buffet, which opened in October at 4890 Louetta Road in Spring, is excellent too. The restaurant offers a buffet-style menu so you can start your meal with various snacks, including breadsticks, fried mushrooms with garlic, and soup bread. People can get pizza by the slice, make their own, or choose from specialty pizzas like BBQ chicken, margherita, or Hawaiian with ham and pineapple. On the menu, you can also find pasta meals.

The new restaurants show Houston's constantly changing food scene and satisfy the city's desire for variety. With handmade dumplings, fresh fish, and family-style pizza, these new restaurants make Greater Houston even more known as one of the most diverse places in Texas to eat.
