Open the Austin guideDallas-Fort Worth's Chinese food sits in the northern suburbs, not downtown: Richardson's Greenville Avenue corridor, Plano's Legacy Drive and Dallas Parkway, and Carrollton and Irving. This is a researched, unranked shortlist of seven places that each do a different meal.
Open the Dallas guideHouston's Chinatown is a car-only strip of plazas along Bellaire Boulevard, not a downtown grid. Dim sum, Sichuan noodles and hot pot cluster there; Midtown, Sugar Land and the Katy Freeway side each add one distinct meal.
Open the Houston guidePlano has no Chinatown; the one the metroplex calls DFW Chinatown is on Greenville Avenue in Richardson. The eight kitchens here sit on Legacy Drive, Preston Road, Independence Parkway, North Central Expressway and Coit Road, and they cook dim sum, Henan noodles, Peking duck, Taiwanese dumplings and Sichuan dishes.
Open the Plano guideRichardson is where the Dallas-Fort Worth area says Chinatown is: DFW ChinaTown at 400 N Greenville Ave. Two of the seven are at that address, two more are elsewhere on Greenville Avenue, and the rest are on Belt Line Road, State Street at CityLine and Coit Road. Together they cover Sichuan noodles, Cantonese roast meats and dim sum, malatang, an all-you-can-eat buffet and Chinese-American plates.
Open the Richardson guideSugar Land has no Chinatown in the sources read; Wikipedia places Houston's Chinatown on Bellaire Boulevard, about 12 miles southwest of downtown Houston, in a different city. The eight kitchens here are on Highway 6, at Lone Star Drive near Sugar Land Town Square, on Williams Trace Boulevard, on US 90 Alternate, and on the Southwest Freeway.
