W Kitchen recently opened in the Lakeside Village Shopping Center (10928 Westheimer Road Houston, Texas 77042), just around the corner from Office Depot. W Kitchen is situated where its entrance faces Lakeside Estates Drive.
W Kitchen is the brainchild of owners Benny and Edward. These two friends have many years of food industry experience. Benny has worked in different areas of the food industry, from distribution to service and in restaurants’ directly. Edward’s background is a bit different, though his family has been in the restaurant industry for as long as he can remember, his background was in the IT oilfield industry with a focus on customer service. The pandemic changed all that and despite his family history, he said ownership in W Kitchen has been a new experience for him. Benny and Edward work very long hours, but worth it as they make the dream of restaurant ownership a reality. When Benny and Edward decided to open W Kitchen they began scouting for a location. They tell us that the Westchase Westheimer area appealed to them. What these two noticed was the area had a great deal of traffic most anytime of the day and night. They also noticed several restaurants in the area, but none were open late, which left the public with only the choice of a couple of fast-food options. Benny and Edward wanted to change things up. Their core mission was to open a place with “daily food options, including healthy ones at an affordable price” and, to be open to serve even late into the night. Lucky for us these guys achieved their mission.
These two business partners made sure to be involved at every level of the restaurant’s development including the furniture which they designed and made. Family is important to Benny and Edward and it shows as the restaurant has two large tables that can easily accommodate large parties. There are also booths that will accommodate a party of two, four and possibly six. The dining area is open daily until 9:30pm, but patrons have the option of ordering and picking up (via a walk-up pickup window near the front door) until 1am Sunday – Thursday and until 2am on Friday and Saturday.
We all realize that food costs have been on the rise, and these entrepreneurs remain conscious of that fact; yet somehow, they manage to offer high quality ingredients in all their dishes at an affordable price. For those of us that have already discovered this awesome eatery we can attest that the food is fresh and although traditional, we found added touches of flavor that made it uniquely delicious and very satisfying.
W Kitchen is offering VW Residents a unique fist time special. For the month of May, residents who mention VW will get a free non-alcoholic beverage with any entrée order, and in the month of June residents who order any entrée will receive a chicken eggroll for free. Next time you stop by thank Benny and Edward for their willingness to provide VW residents with two different special offers during the months of May and June.
