linearmovement Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 8 things to know in Houston food right now: Openings, closings, and a new Heights patio bar "Seminal Houston Thai restaurant Kanomwan has been closed since September, but it might make a comeback in 2022. Patarawan Charoenrat, daughter of founders Yuthana and Darawan Charoenrat, tells Houston Food Finder that her mother simply needed a break from the business and may resume operations next year. That would be good news for the East End favorite, which has served classic Thai soups, curries, and more since the mid-80s." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So confused. Me too. Their eventbrite listing states that this will be downtown across from Minute Maid, so not sure if having anything at the old venue even makes sense logistically. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/st-patricks-day-festival-2022-tickets-94555204161 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few places I’ll drive to for yummy food (Frenchy’s Chicken on Scott Street, Fadi’s on Braeswood, Ninfa’s on Navigation). Villa Arcos was one of those places I’d go to for delicious breakfast tacos. Interesting that Torres own Sunrise Tacos too! I assume the one in Rice Military is part of the Shell station on Memorial. I’ve been a customer since the early 90s - great breakfast tacos! Highly recommended!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using that as a data point to judge the development in the area—and ignoring all of the new construction nearby, including Roostar, Gatsby’s Grille, etc. maybe a block away—is daft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely, you can understand blocking off your place if you're gonna be gone for three years. That said, while I don't think they were necessary even three years ago, you gotta imagine the family runs things at a pretty casual pace, given how reticent they were to reopening and all. Let's see what, if anything, the new ownership will do now that they have reopened before jumping to any conclusions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapo2367 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I remember those bars being there pre pandemic — it’s probably not cheap to remove them, especially for a restaurant that is just restarting. And to be fair, break ins at commercial establishments do happen in that part of town. Look at Segundo coffee, they’ve gotten hit multiple times in the last couple years unfortunately :/ Hoping for better things for the east end, but I understand why that’s not Villa Arcos’s top item to change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate4l1f3 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I’m going to miss Woodrow’s patio, there was always something unique to it and it gave off a cool vibe. The inside on the other hand was kind of depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
