Planning a trip to Houston area and haven't been there in a while. Would love any suggestions for 'must visit' restaurants near the Toyota center. Will be down for a few days and I appreciate any thoughts in advance. Gig 'em

OP asked for "must visit" restaurants. That is not China Garden.

This. Just grab some of these from your kid's bat bag and you are good to go during the winter months.

Vic & Anthony's for the best steak/ king crab legs in Houston. Bar is great and has tables in case you don't have a reservation.

China Garden is better value than the overpriced place listed already and you walk to Toyota .
