Birthday Dinner recommendations

Posted by a_me_@reddit | Dallas | View on Reddit | 24 comments

It's my husband's birthday today and in the past few years we've gone to a Brazilian steakhouse for his dinner. He told me this morning he wants a change of taste. Outside of birthdays we rarely dine out, what are some good restaurants in Dallas/Frisco/Plano area. We like Asian food, middle eastern food and American food (mostly just steaks). We don't drink and have 2 toddlers (reasons we rarely go out). I wanna try an Asian buffet, we haven't been to one in over 10 years but I don't know what's good.

Thanks in advance

Just leave him alone 😂😂😂 and pick him up when he is done enjoying his food and drinks.

What about Gen Korean BBQ? There’s one in Frisco. Similar in a way to Brazilian steakhouse in that you can all you can eat meat brought to you, but a different palate (Asian) and it’s a fun activity to cook your own food! I don’t think they take reservations but you may be able to get on a waitlist ahead of time. They can get pretty busy

We love kbbq and have tried a few places in the past but my husband prefers Gen. I just looked at their menu and since we have somewhat different preferences I’m unsure if it would work well having a set meat selection. It also looks a lot more expensive, so it makes sense that the quality is better! Could be good for a special occasion

Take your kids. My kids went everywhere! Try LOVE AND WAR IN TEXAS. Plano parkway, Plano Texas, good food, different menu options, cool vibe.

Jeng Chi in Richardson, my absolute GOAT. Went for Christmas and Valentines meals and will probably go again for my birthday in a few months. Really really good soup dumplings, dandan noodles, and my go-to every time is the twice cooked pork and bell peppers. Their desserts are also amazing, best cake rolls and cream puffs I've ever had.

Fortune house on lower Greenville is great! I was able to reserve the back room for my birthday one year and everyone loved the food.

Try Selda! The food and ambience are really good. Make sure to book beforehand, every time I went there it was packed :)

Kauboi is great and has variety. Gen in frisco is good. Manna kbbq in carrolton is also good. Woomeok has a combo hot pot and korean bbq for a good deal.

If you're looking for more dim sum ish food kirin court in richardson, bushi bushi near addison, or 88 bao bao (more casual) in frisco are my faves
