1. Agnes and Sherman

    Asian Contemporary

    The Heights diner where Wong and Lee channel their third-culture childhoods into a playful comfort-food menu: shrimp toast and scallion waffles with sambal honey butter give way to chilled noodles with yuba and a crawfish egg foo young swimming in gumbo gravy. Casual enough for solo dining, assured enough to matter.
