How we chose

We picked restaurants that cook one Asian tradition well and give you a clear reason to go: a long history, a signature dish, or something you can't easily find elsewhere in Houston. Each pick had to sit inside our Spring Branch boundary and show a current address, menu or hours on its own official website in November 2026. Hours change, so treat every schedule below as typical and check the restaurant's site before you go.

Where to eat Korean food in Spring Branch

Long Point Road in Spring Branch is home to some of Houston's longest-running Korean restaurants. These five cover the classic barbecue houses, a steakhouse and fried chicken.

Seoul Garden

Long Point, 9446 Long Point Rd · Korean · typically open daily 10 a.m.–10 p.m.

Seoul Garden on Long Point Road says it has served Korean food in Houston since 1994. It's a full-service restaurant with tabletop barbecue grilling on one side of the menu and a wide range of appetizers and entrées on the other. It takes reservations online and has a banquet room for big groups.

Order: one grilled meat for the table and one stew, so you get the whole Korean meal and not just the grill.

Best for: a first Korean barbecue night with parents or grandparents. Our Korean BBQ guide explains how the grill, the banchan and the wraps work.

Korea Garden

Long Point, 9501 Long Point Rd, Suite Z · Korean · check the site for hours

Korea Garden calls itself one of Houston's oldest Korean restaurants, with more than 30 years of introducing the city to Korean food. Its own description promises a traditional meal in a garden-and-fountain setting, and the menu runs from grill-it-yourself barbecue to stews (jjigae) and a wide variety of kimchi.

Order: barbecue for the table and a jjigae to share.

Best for: a long, slow dinner with a group.

Tree Garden

Long Point, 9504 Long Point Rd, Suite A · Korean · check the site for hours

Tree Garden, a few doors down Long Point from Korea Garden, is the adventurous eater's pick. Its traditional menu lists more than a dozen soups and stews, including beef short rib soup (galbi tang), army stew, codfish soup, fish roe soup and beef small intestine soup. The barbecue side goes past brisket and bulgogi to fresh and marinated duck and pork jowl.

Order: marinated duck from the grill, or beef short rib soup if you'd rather not cook.

Best for: the friend who always orders the thing nobody else at the table has heard of. More soups and stews across town are in our Korean restaurants guide.

Bori

Witte Road, 1453 Witte Rd · Korean steakhouse · typically lunch and dinner weekdays, noon–9:30 p.m. weekends

Bori on Witte Road calls itself a South Korean-inspired steakhouse, and it's the upscale Korean dinner in Spring Branch. The menu includes A5 Wagyu from Japan, dry-aged steaks, filet mignon and the restaurant's own favorite, marinated boneless short rib, and servers cook at the table for you. The "I didn't know that" detail: bori means barley, and the restaurant says it chose the name because barley carried Koreans through famine and war. Look for the terrace the restaurant calls the Peace Garden, which it says honors the unity of Korea and those who suffered in its wars.

Order: marinated boneless short rib.

Best for: a birthday or an anniversary. Bori has a second location in Montrose.

KRISP Korean Fried Chicken

Long Point, 9486 Long Point Rd · Korean fried chicken · typically open daily 11:30 a.m.–10 p.m.

KRISP on Long Point Road opened in 2020 with one goal, according to its site: authentic Korean fried chicken for Houston. It serves its à la carte menu all day, with a lunch menu from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., for dine-in or takeout.

Order: a basket of fried chicken to share before or after barbecue down the street.

Best for: a late-ish dinner when nobody wants to grill.

Xeo Yum

Long Point, 10049 Long Point Rd · Vietnamese · typically closed Mondays

Xeo Yum on Long Point Road is built around banh xeo, the crispy turmeric crepe that gives the restaurant its name. Its version, Bánh Xèo Saigon, comes loaded with pork belly, shrimp and bean sprouts, with herbs, lettuce and fish sauce for wrapping. The menu also has bánh khọt, griddled mini pancakes topped with shrimp, and bò né, marinated steak served on a sizzling skillet with two sunny-side eggs and a baguette. Xeo Yum typically serves lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday with an afternoon break.

Pho Huy on Gessner Road is a straightforward beef noodle house, and it opens at 9 a.m. every day, which makes it the earliest Asian meal on this list.

Roostar Vietnamese Grill

Gessner Road, 1411 Gessner Rd, Suite I · Vietnamese · typically open daily from 10 a.m.

Roostar Vietnamese Grill on Gessner Road makes custom banh mi alongside noodle and rice dishes. Its story starts with a sandwich shop in Vietnam: according to the restaurant, a co-owner's grandmother ran one, and the family recipes, from French mayonnaise and pâté to pork belly, were passed down. It typically closes at 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 p.m. Sunday.

Order: a banh mi built your way, plus a Vietnamese coffee.

Best for: a fast, cheap lunch.

Where to eat Thai and Chinese food in Spring Branch

Your Kitchen on Long Point Road is the Spring Branch pick for both Thai and Chinese food, on one menu.

Your Kitchen

Long Point, 9785 Long Point Rd · Thai and Chinese · check the site for hours

Your Kitchen on Long Point Road is a small family-owned restaurant that, by its own account, has been in Spring Branch for about 30 years. The current family took it over in 2017, renovated it and added Thai dishes while keeping the Chinese classics regulars came for. The surprise is how you can order: dine-in, takeout, delivery, or a drive-thru, so a red curry can come through your car window. The Thai side lists red, green and yellow curries, pad prik khing and a basil noodle the menu marks as a best seller; the Chinese side covers General Tso's, sesame and orange chicken, lo mein and wonton soup.

Order: the cream of tom yum soup and the basil noodle.

Best for: a weeknight takeout run. For Isan and boat noodles, see our Thai food guide.

Where to eat Indian food in Spring Branch

Ruchi's Indian Cuisine on Clay Road is the Indian restaurant to know in Spring Branch, and in 2024 the Spring Branch Management District called it the only Indian restaurant then operating within the district.

Ruchi's Indian Cuisine

Clay Road, 10618 Clay Rd · Indian · typically opens at 11 a.m.

Ruchi's Indian Cuisine on Clay Road cooks both North and South Indian food. The Spring Branch Management District explains that ruchi is a word used in several Indian languages for taste or preference, and reports that the masala dosa, biryani and tikka masala are the most popular orders.

Order: a ghee roast dosa and a chicken biryani to share.

Best for: vegetarians and anyone who wants dosa without driving to Hillcroft. More Indian picks across the city are in our Indian restaurants guide.
