“...At his vibrant new Houston diner, Agnes and Sherman, he’s not just questioning that notion [of Asian food]; he’s rewriting it, plating a vision of American cuisine that’s as bold and diverse as the city itself.”

“For those confused by the ‘Asian American’ label, just look around the neighborhood….Agnes and Sherman isn't ‘traditional’ like Mala Sichuan, nor is it distinctly ‘Chinese American’ like The Rice Box. Instead, it is its own thing. It's both.”

“Agnes and Sherman keeps things playful without losing intention — from the scallion waffle with sambal-honey butter to Taiwanese disco fries that channel both nostalgia and late-night cravings. There’s al pastor fried rice that leans into Houston’s mashup of culinary influences, while crawfish egg foo young blurs Southern and Chinese-American lines in all the right ways.”
