Kome?
The extras will make for a pretty pricy bowl at that point! Thanks for the clarification. I do like that Love Balls truck as well. Also a fan of the fish & chips from Bits and Druthers in that same park.

2. Volt
3. Rasika
4. Fast Gourmet
5. Two Amy's
6. Granville Moore's
7. Citronelle (lounge)
8. Jaleo
9. Ren's Ramen

I have a colossal list of other places to try, but this is what I've been most impressed with in my short time here.
Kome?
I can see both of your points- I read popculture's comment as sushi at Kome would be a good idea, but I don't think he/she was necessarily saying that it's the only draw to the restaurant. There's definitely a ton of interesting items across Kome's menu.
For those of you who've had the ramen both at Kome and Michi Ramen, how would you compare the two? And even better, if you've been to places like Santouka in LA or Ippudo in NYC, any comparisons there? I will be in town this weekend and the early feedback on Michi sounds pretty good.
Dallas Dim Sum
I'd put HKR at the top over Maxim or Kirin. After being to more places in that do made to order dim sum, I generally prefer it vs the cart style.
Moving to Pentagon City-a summary, please
Getting lost now: which Kabob Palace is the "right" one?
Moving to Pentagon City-a summary, please
I'm also moving out to that area soon. Slightly off topic but for anyone around there who shops at Trader Joe's- which location nearest to the area do you prefer? It looks like there's one in Clarendon and another near Georgetown.
Teppo - Review
Someone should pay attention to my mobile uploads folder on Facebook ;)
Jokes aside, Teppo is the most underrated Japanese restaurant in town and it's certainly worth becoming a regular and befriending Masa and Tomi. In a way, I'm ok with Brenner giving them a less than stellar review, but at the same time, they do deserve a far more recognition. The traditional Japanese food is very good and occasionally they'll have some not-so traditional, but still awesome specials done in house (ie the duck prosciutto, all of the ice creams/desserts). Their omakase is a killer value for the quality of food you're getting. For the yakitori, I'm a big fan of the chicken skin and hearts, and I suggest trying it without salt.
Good/Best Ethiopian Restaurants in DFW?

Green Pig Bistro (Clarendon)
Hi everyone, I'm new to the DC area but not new to Chowhound. Have enjoyed some pleasant dinners with Steve and I also got signed up for the Chowdown list. Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Anyway, I just did some reading about this relatively new place and noticed no one's talked about it yet here. I'm thinking of doing dinner there tonight, and was curious if anyone has been? Very interesting since I heard it described as one of the most offal-focused restaurants in the area. I'm an extremely adventurous eater and I'm big fan of places like Feast in Houston or Animal in L.A.. Really wanted to know what dishes have been must-try or stellar! Thanks!
Where can I find the best fried chicken in DFW? 15 mile radius of Irving would be great!
Details on one outside of H-Mart are in that Dallas Observer link that twinwillow posted above.

And along the lines of spicy Korean fried chicken, we should talk about Chicken 65 too. Basically it's a spicy deep fried chicken dish that is a South Indian specialty. I really should spend more time hunting this stuff down. So far I've liked what I've tried at Our Place in Irving and Zyka in Richardson. Zyka wins out for crispiness and texture, while Our Place is much spicier. Still looking for a place to nail both.

Thanks for that link. I was always wondering about the names of the two and that's good to see someone take the time to clear up what was up with the place by H-Mart.

This was fresh, but I'm sure flukes happen too. I'll give it another shot since I'm not too far.
Good Indian Food?
For "fast" Indian food, I like Spice and Rice Indian Tiffin in Valley Ranch. Macarthur north of 635. The naan there is the best I've had in the area.

Actually, I got exactly both of those varieties at the place off Royal/35 (within the Komart lot, right?) and found that they were both soggy. This was less than a month ago so it was fairly recent. Didn't find the texture pleasant.
Ethiopian Food
I'm with you on Lalibela and I like Ibex too. Heard good things about Desta. That whole area has a ton of good Ethiopian food.

No. Very saucy and soggy. The only Korean fried chicken place I like in the area is Plus Chicken right next to H-Mart. Their name changed recently though so I'll have to double check on that...
Upcoming trip...decisions, decisions
You can also call the same day and see if they can get you in, people cancel all the time. Or show up and try your chances at sitting at the bar overlooking the kitchen - that's how I've done just about all my meals there.
I'm not sure if you have access to Veracruzan food, so you might wanna look at Mesa as well.
Any Philipino restraunts in DFW?
Yeah, I think they were supposed to start doing house-cured longanisa. I should head down there and have breakfast again sometime...

Classic Cocktails in Dallas
Well, there's not much about it because it's still extremely new and I don't think people here have had a chance to check it out (myself included). Plus I think focus has mainly been on Chesterfield lately since people here know Lucky from Bolsa, and we've been eagerly anticipating his new bar for quite some time. People's Last Stand does sound like a good alternative to Trinity Hall when I'm watching a movie at the Angelika though.
Also I'm not really sure what you mean about "the most 'cocktail'" but if you look up any of the places I'd mentioned on this site or Google, it's easy to see that they have serious cocktail programs and skilled bartenders. I know I'd read an article that ran through a bunch of Dallas area bars with artisinal cocktails, but don't recall who did it else I'd be happy to link you.

Looking for downtown Dallas recommendations.
Past suggestions on the Fairmont and restaurants downtown are still the same. Add Pecan Lodge in there too though.

TAKE-OUT NEAR CONVENTION CENTER?
Be mindful of the hours of Pecan Lodge too, only thursday to sunday!
http://www.pecanlodge.com/
Otherwise I'd agree with Cedars Social, also take advantage of the light rail and head over to Deep Ellum or other areas of downtown. Either way, the cab ride is pretty short and inexpensive.
If you like good Japanese food, do not miss Tei An (run some searches on them here).
Classic Cocktails in Dallas
Besides People's Last Stand, there's plenty of places, take your pick...
Windmill Lounge (personal favorite), Cedar's Social, Bolsa, The Library Bar at the Warwick Melrose, Chesterfield, Marquee, The Mansion's bar, Victor Tango's, any of the Neighborhood Services locations.
Good non-chain places to eat with groups in Addison, TX
Tipico's is good, but I'm not sure if a really divey Mexican place is what you're looking for based on your group (it is very much no-frills, no atmosphere).
Despite living < 5 minutes away, I typically don't eat around Addison because there are a ton of chains in the area. Out of the suggestions so far, I like Meso Maya, Lazaranda, and Laury's. You might like Buttons for the atmophere. I'd also add Canary. http://www.canarybygorji.com/
Don't forget about Downtown Carrollton which isn't too far away from you. Specifically suggest Agave Azul (awesome margaritas too) and Babe's (just enjoy taking out of towners here). http://www.theagaveazul.com/Home.html

Tei An, Marquee Grill & The Chesterfield
Food's still good at Tei An and haven't heard anything about it going downhill. Definitely go.
Suggestions for authentic Chinese restaurant within driving distance of Fort Worth?
Off the top of my head I can immediately think of one good place where I went with LH and his wife in Haltom City - Thai Orchid.
http://www.mythaiorchid.com/
There are some dishes there that I admit they do better than Bambu, particularly the Issan sausage. More stuff there that needs to be tried, but it's a big drive.
Fort Worth wine/liquor shopping
Don't forget about Hall's in Coleyville too. They also added liquor, but they really shine as far as beer selection.
Where is the best chicken shawarma in Dallas?
Yup, Afrah's a big one you're missing out of the places you've tried.
