What people say
Vietnamese cuisine is known for its bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and healthy options. Dinette, located on N Shepherd Drive in Houston, is a modern Vietnamese kitchen and bar that perfectly embodies these qualities. What sets Dinette apart from other Vietnamese restaurants is their commitment to providing a unique dining experience without sacrificing authenticity.
One of the standout dishes at Dinette is their Pandan Fried Okra and Veggie Eggrolls. These vegetarian options are not only delicious but also nutritious. The use of pandan adds a fragrant and slightly sweet flavor to the crispy okra, while the veggie eggrolls are filled with a variety of fresh vegetables.
Dinette's commitment to hospitality extends beyond just their food. They are currently hiring for various positions, including cooks, bartenders, servers, hosts, and support staff. This dedication to creating a welcoming environment for both customers and employees is truly admirable.
It's no surprise that Dinette has received press love from Houston Chronicle food critic Greg Morago. Their Vietnamese clams dish is a must-try - tossed in fish sauce, herbs, Thai chili, and lime for a perfect balance of sweetness and spice.
To top it off, Dinette offers seasonal cocktails like "Maized and Confused," which infuses Socorro Reposado with ginger and Nixta Maize Licor for a spiced yet refreshing drink perfect for Texas winters.
Overall, Dinette is an excellent choice for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Vietnamese cuisine in a modern setting with exceptional hospitality.
