Nee Hao Chinese and Sushi Bar opened in July 2024. It is a sit down restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere, a small sushi bar and a regular bar. The server was friendly and attentive.
The menu is large. It lists Chinese classics made with chicken, beef, pork or seafood. A full sushi menu splits rolls between raw and cooked. The reviewer ordered the Pepper Steak lunch special with a spring roll and Hot and Sour soup. Nee Hao is at 1939 Southern Loop and opens every day.
Okidoki Hibachi Express opened in January 2024. Guests order at the counter and choose a table, or use the drive thru. The food is cooked to order and served in takeout containers.
