Bangkok City--any reports?
The one on Bryan St or Greenvile Ave? They have different owners.
I've never been to the Greenvile location, but the one on Bryan is good and solid. It's a fine choice if you're in the area, but overall I'd rank it below Royal Thai and Bambu.
White Queso in Plano area
If you do a search for "Queso Blanco" on Yelp, there are quite a few places that seem to offer it in the DFW area.
Tea Store
There also used to be The Cultured Cup, but it's appears they may no longer be open to the public.

ISO Best Puffy Tacos
Desperados. They're always packed on Thursdays after 5:00 when they are $5.95 a plate.
Heading to Dallas - 1st Time!
If you're a strict vegetarian, you might want to try Best Thai. They have a special all vegan menu. They have a few locations, but I've only been to the one in Addison. http://www.bestthaidining.com
The best Thai I've had in Dallas is Bambu Thai in Richardson. They do offer tofu for stir-fry dishes, but do not claim to cater to vegetarians or vegans.

Where to buy *flour* based tortilla chips?
Pita chips are really different. Flour tortillas are really light and flaky and crumble very easy.
Where to buy *flour* based tortilla chips?
I usually only see fried flour tortillas as bowls for a taco salad. I know I've had them at various restaurants all around town. Sorry - I wish I could remember where it was specifically.
Oak Lawn area: co workers dinner : mexican, tex mex, or chinese food suggestions please

I've never tried theirs, but found out about them when I was searching for one last year.
Hillcountry Style BBQ in Dallas area
We went to Lockhart Smokehouse on labor day since it was the only place I could find open serving ribs. Their ribs are better than most places, but I would still put them far below Meshack's for flavor.
A nice surprise was that they had some smoked quail for sale which we liked much better than the ribs. They aren't on the menu - we only knew about them from the person if front of us that ordered them.
We did have sticker shock - $65.00 for 3 pounds of ribs & 4 quail.
Nice Lunch Spot in Uptown/Downtown
I would not recommend Al Biernat's if you are looking for a place that's quiet and low on ambient noise...
Any recommendations for a Moroccan restaurant in the Dallas area?
A new Moroccan restaurant is supposed to open today:

Any recommendations for a Moroccan restaurant in the Dallas area?
There's also Medina in Victory Park which is owned by a native Moroccan. It is definitely more flashy than Kasbah.
[DFW] Best Place to find cold or cool eats [DFW}
If you go to Docs, be sure to ask for the natural flavors (made daily - not from a pre-made syrup). My favorite is cucumber and lime.
Royal Thai
I know it's crazy hot, but their Po Thak soup is our favorite. It's a spicy lemongrass seafood soup served hot pot style.
Pho in Dallas?
So I went back to Pho Colonial today for a second try since the first time was a few weeks after they opened.
Tried the Pho for the first time. Got it with rare tenderloin. The broth was so salty I couldn't eat it. It had plenty of star anise, but so much I couldn't taste other flavors. The broth was much darker than I'm used to seeing, so maybe they had let it cook down too much. The noodles were a bit undercooked so I didn't like them. The meat was tender and decent, so I just picked it out of the soup and left the rest.
Also tried the banh mi with deli meat and pate. The bread was better this time (no off flavor). I wish they served the bread toasted, but it was fresh. The pate was really salty and had too much chicken liver flavor for my liking. (The website says they use goose-liver. Does that ever taste like chicken liver?) Also, they shred their carrots and radishes too thin, so you can't enjoy the nice crunch and flavor of a thicker cut. The deli meat seemed liked a higher quality than most places, but it didn't really matter. They just use a small amount of plain mayo.
My favorite place for this type of sandwich is at La Me and I was comparing it with what I like. For those that don't like that style (toasted bread, very mild and creamy pate, five spice flavored mayo, lots of thick cut, nicely marinated carrot and radish), perhaps they would prefer this one.
Pho in Dallas?
air - Glad to hear that about Pho is for Lovers. I was excited to hear about another option that is closer to home.
I had a really strange/awful banh mi at Pho Colonial a few months ago. Mine had an off tasting pate (either bad or pure chicken liver maybe?), bread that had a weird flavor to it (reminded me of fresh laundry for some reason), and lack of veggies/herbs that didn't seem to be marinated enough.
Leslie Brenner just named it one of the best places for banh mi, so I wonder if it's improved.

They also have this at Korea House. I had it years ago and really liked it. In addition, they do this with raw Skate fish.
Unfortunately, I don't see ganjang gejang on their menu.

Where to Find Kurobuta or Berkshire Pork in DFW Area?
I've found it at Asia World Market in Plano.
Barbecue in Dallas?
I suggest you go to Meshacks on a Sat or Sun, as soon as they open. We've been by twice in the afternoon and they have been out of ribs and just about everything else.
