Gao's BBQ & Crab serves grilled skewers — meat, seafood, and vegetables — in a Chinatown room built for hanging out late, with a karaoke stage and a big screen playing music videos adding to the noise. The Houston spot is one of seven locations that also include Dallas/Frisco, New York, Chicago, San Jose, and Los Angeles.
Regulars keep coming back for the pork belly and lamb skewers, along with beef skewers and green bean skewers, while the smashed cucumbers draw a following among garlic fans. The Infatuation scored the restaurant 8.2/10.
