Manager Jay Kwon said when local Korean barbecue enthusiasts craved sizzling meats grilled tableside, they often had to travel outside the community to find it. In August 2025, Kwon said that ended with Gangnam BBQ & Sushi, an all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue eatery founded to fill the gap in Korean barbecue.

What's special about it: At Gangnam BBQ & Sushi, diners receive an interactive experience that allows them to grill their own meats. Lunch is served Monday-Friday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m., while dinner can be requested at any time.

Craving Korean barbecue? With a knowledgeable staff catering to Korean barbecue diners, Kwon said diners can grill their own meats selected from the dinner or lunch menu. Aside from its meat, customers are provided with a variety of sides to choose from and sushi rolls created by sushi chef Gary Zhang, a Korean chef with over 25 years of experience. Every dish and sauce is made daily in-house.

The Transportation Advocacy Group of the Houston Region, or TAG Houston, held a webinar on the future of advanced air mobility June 3.

What’s happening: Sergio Roman, Texas Department of Transportation's director of emerging aviation technology under the aviation division, led a “pragmatic discussion” on the future of advanced air mobility. This includes unmanned drones and electric vertical takeoff and landing—or eVTOL—aircraft, to transport people and materials.

“We've all seen all the marketing sketches and autonomous passengers, drones zipping over gridlocked highways and completely untethered from the realities of public policy, physical concrete or power grids,” Roman said.

Explained: In March, the Federal Aviation Administration bestowed TxDOT with Project Nexus under the integration pilot program, or eIPP.

While Project Nexus encompasses Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and the Choctaw Nation, Roman said Houston will make its role vital in this undertaking as an immense industrial coastal corridor.

On the horizon: “In a perfect world,” Roman believes Phase 3 would begin in August or September of 2028.

Harris County officials are urging caution as the National Weather Service has forecasted multiple days of heavy rainfall across the Greater Houston area.

What you need to know: Officials with the National Weather Service are maintaining a flood watch over a large swath of southeast Texas through June 18. The watch stems from a semi-stationary front moving across the region alongside a disturbance in the Gulf with a 60% chance of developing into a tropical storm before bringing additional rainfall to the region, NWS officials said. 

What’s being done? Gov. Greg Abbott signed a disaster declaration for 101 counties in southeast Texas, including Brazoria, Harris, Montgomery, Fort Bend and Galveston counties June 15. Harris County and the city of Houston have also activated emergency response initiatives, such as lowering Lake Houston levels ahead of additional rainfall.

Before you go: State and county officials are asking residents to remain aware of weather changes through the end of the week due to forecasted heavy rain and flash flooding.
