About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
  • Charming
Agnes and Sherman is a diner experience all about Asian American comfort food. Co-Owners Lisa Lee and Nick Wong are excited to bring a modern yet cozy new restaurant to the vibrant Houston Heights dining scene, honoring their unique third-culture Asian American roots, and everything that’s special about Houston. Inventive versions of familiar flavors are nestled alongside the golden rules of inclusion and belonging, as it’s now more important than ever to convey the values that have always been true: taking care of others is an act of love, and everyone is welcome here.

Named after Chef Nick’s parents, Agnes and Sherman is a spot for people who love food as much as they love Houston. The dishes are meant to be shared family-style, but can be easily enjoyed by small parties or solo diners. Menu highlights include savory scallion waffles with sambal honey butter, Taiwanese disco fries, and crawfish egg foo young.

    The Thai Omelette was spectacular; well balanced bursting with flavor. The savory scallion waffle with sambal honey butter did not disappoint and the Pandan French toast put our meal over the top. We went for drag brunch and the restaurant had an incredible layout for crowd engagement while providing ample space for the queens to showcase their talents! We hope this happens again, top tier food and atmosphere. We will be back for dinner service soon. Coretta was awesome! Super friendly, patient and proud of her colleagues.
