    After writing about our latest favorite strip mall dining spot , scores of you wrote with recommendations of your own.

    Why we like them: These are arguably the gastronomical lifeblood of Austin.


    Here's a sampling of your picks.

    Meegan A. calls Tomodachi Sushi on Parmer the "best non-fancy sushi place"

    • Also off Parmer, Eric L. touts NG Cafe for "the best banh mi in town."

    A bunch of you recommended Asia Cafe — one of our favorites! — by 183 and Spicewood Springs Road.

    • Amy B. likes the garlic green beans and beef flat noodles.

    In Round Rock , Jim B. vouches for Rock N Grill , where the Indian food is delivered by a robot.

    • Eric P. points readers to Little Mama's , where you can find "great Filipino food, owned and operated by a kind family who remembers our name and order. It's a tiny, unassuming spot."

    Mary S. says Aleida's on Little Elm Trail in Cedar Park "is a real hidden gem. "

    • "Offerings include many different Venezuelan and Mexican favorites, from arepas and cachapas to empanadas and tacos. And the owner is a really sweet guy."

    Also in Cedar Park, Daniel T. says C.R. Surf & Turf is the "closest thing to a fresh fish fry in Austin. Reminds me of New England. The seafood is always fresh."

    In southwest Austin, Andre L. recommends the Mediterranean bistro Cafe Malta , by William Cannon and Brodie, for "something slightly more elevated."

    • Andre also suggests the Evangeline Cafe on Brodie, "a Cajun spot with a surprisingly good burger."

    Speaking of more elevated, Eric B. jokes that "for the bougiest strip mall eating experience" try Barley Swine on Burnet Road — with the added bonus of Bufalina Due being in the same strip. Also on Burnet, Tracie K. is a fan of Nosh & Bevvy , in the same strip mall as Common Interest Karaoke and Slick Willie's pool hall.

    • "N & B has great curries and fish and chips in the English pub tradition. (Plus, the mini corn dogs are a personal obsession)," Tracie writes.

    Out on Howard Lane, Linda H. recommends the pad thai with chicken at KaProw . (Bonus points to KaProw for their website featuring a drone zoom-in of their strip mall.)

    • "What's also great about KaProw is they even have a gluten-free menu, and Chef 'O' will work with people who have food allergies. It's a great, family owned place."
