Location: Rice Blvd. in Rice Village in Houston
Type of Food: Sandwiches, sliders, boutique beer.
Summary: Kahn's is my standby for great sandwiches that I miss from Up North. They are the only ones other than Kenny and Ziggy's in the Galleria that know how to do a corned beef sandwich or pastrami sandwich. They have a vast selection sandwiches. A recent add-on to their menu is sliders. They have a kitschy collections of beer-- some in bottles, some in cans, and some on tap.
Final Thoughts: The first time that I was there I tried their half pastrami half corned beef sandwich. It was amazing. The second time I went there I had a pastrami sandwich, matzo ball soup, and one of their great beers. The matzo had great flavor; it was unlike any matzo ball soup that I had tried before. They make theirs with parsnip. GREAT FLAVORS.
Next time you are near Rice Village make sure to try Kahn's.

Mai's
Location: Midtown off of Milam between Elgin and Alabama
Type of Food: Vietnamese
Summary: I love Mai's. It is one of those restaurants that I go to when I have time to go to lunch and sometimes dinner after a hard day. I always have an awesome time eating at Mai's at lunch. I sit at the bar usually. Dinnertime is not as much fun even when I sit at the bar because the bartender that I have dealt with usually isn't extremely nice.
Normally I get Beef Pho with a iced tea. As of lately, I have branched out into trying the Noodle soups on the menu. I am not really a huge fan of their Pho ga (chicken pho); it is good, but not the best that I have had before.
Final Thoughts: It is a great restaurant to go to if you want food fast. Sometimes it seems like they cook faster than fast food restaurants and it is a heck of a lot healthier.
