Agnes and Sherman is a modern Asian American diner in Houston’s Heights neighborhood that blends bold fusion flavors with classic comfort food in a casual, inviting setting. The restaurant — led by chef Nick Wong and partner Lisa Lee — draws inspiration from American diner nostalgia and diverse Asian culinary traditions, offering creative dishes rooted in both cultures.

The menu features playful twists on familiar favorites: savory scallion waffles with sambal honey butter, Korean‑style rice cakes with rich sauces, crab rangoon reinvented as shareable chips and dip, and crawfish‑studded egg foo young with gumbo‑style gravy. Lunch, brunch, and dinner menus showcase a mix of snacks, hearty plates, and inventive rice and noodle dishes, alongside thoughtful cocktails, wine, and non‑alcoholic options.

With its warm, diner‑meets‑bistro vibe, Agnes and Sherman feels equally at home for a casual solo meal, brunch with friends, or an easy date night. The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively — highlighted by a cozy interior and welcoming service — and the eclectic, deeply personal approach to fusion cooking has made it one of Houston’s most talked‑about new restaurants.
