An expansion of the Montrose original formerly known as Cooking Girl, Pepper Twins serves up Houston’s finest Chinese fare made with lots of organic ingredients. Take a crowd and order an assortment of reasonably-priced appetizers (like wood ear mushroom salad and a beef tendon dish called Mr. and Mrs. Smith) and definitely don’t miss Pepper Twins’ tingly, Sichuan-pepper spiked “steak cube” or chicken.
