I will be going to Plano for business soon. Any recommendations? TIA

I'm sure there is some good stuff there but Dallas is only 2 minutes to the South. I'm not too sure what's up in Plano.

What are you looking for? There is a butt load of crap up there. But also some good places. One of the best sushi places in Dallas area is up there...maybe in Richardson. There is also good Indian and Chinese in the area. Probably good steak places too.

I like all types of food, just looking for some quality places to eat. I don't need fine dining, but anywhere between good BBQ to a place like Boucherie. Anything you think would be worth checking out. I will have a rental car up there, so a little travel can be done.
And I am down for some good sushi.

Here is some ethnic stuff up there.
Sushi Sake
Kor-bg (Korean BBQ Tacos)
JS Chens dim sum-BBQ
ETA:
Twisted root burger-Local chain that is pretty good. If you want a really good burger, come down to Deep Ellum and eat at Angry Dog.

Just about every chain restaurant known to man can be found between Plano and N Dallas.
You may not want to eat at Louisiana / New Orleans type places but if yes try The Big Easy on Park near Hwy 75 – muffalettas, po boys, and red beans and rice available at reasonable prices.
Chains - Razoos on the N Dallas Parkway is good. Pappadeaux is a little more expensive with large portions.
Texas BBQ – Randy Whites in Frisco is a favorite of ours with good food and good prices. Spring Creek BBQ kids love the ribs, I love the chicken as well as the ribs. Seconds on the fixins & good warm rolls
Steak – Ruth Chris, Sullivan’s, Del Frisco all off the North Dallas toll way and within a few minutes of Plano
Italian chains - Maggiano and Buco di Peppo

Isn't there a Bread Winners in Plano. The one Uptown D is money. Great breakfast.

That Korean BBQ taco place looks like a good quick lunch place. Thanks for the recs.

Grew up in Plano but it's been a while since I lived there. I would add Chuy's tex-mex to the list. There are some decent places in the Legacy & Tollway entertainment area. As mentioned, Plano is sort of chain-restaurant heaven but it has them all.
There is also a very small place that has a fairly authentic lobster roll called Sea Breeze.

Disappointed when I went there....
Are there any good seafood/cajun restaurants in the Dallas area?

The only reason to eat at cajun places in Dallas is if you live here and have forgotten what good cajun tastes like. Half Shells in Snider Plaza (by SMU) is about the best I've found. Another good place, not cajun though, is Hook Line and Sinker on Mckinney.

Dodies on Greenville in Dallas. I haven't been since they moved down the street but always enjoyed their original place. They boil their crawfish the righ way. Nates on Midway but they season the outside of the crawfish.

Yeah I am lucky enough to live in nola, so I think I will steer clear of places that try "nola/cajun/creole/i put tony's on something so it is authentic Louisiana food" places. I was told to check out the Oak Cliff's Bishop Arts District? Good advice?
Again thanks for all the suggestions.

The one in Addison is absolutely disgusting. The boiled crawfish was not boiled the right way...no season what so ever. The fried seafood was way too salty. I won't be going be going back.

I'll have to try these. They are pretty close to where I live. Thanks.
Also, Rex's on Lovers is pretty good. If you haven't been, give it a try.

Yes. Very cool little area with a little bit older crowd....30 and up and family oriented. But there are plenty of youngsters out there. Eno's is a pizza joint with pretty decent pizza and a great beer selection. They have a pub upstairs too. I'll be there tomorrow afternoon. There is some other good eats like Veracruz (interior mexican)and a few other places I can't remember. Down the street is Bolsa which is very good but very crowded.

I got to know Nate when I lived in Carrollton. Turns out he and I lived 6 houses down from each other in Lake Charles back when I was a kid. His broiled stuffed shrimp are the best I've ever eaten and I cannot find any better in Louisiana. Momo's is my fav Italian at Beltway and the Tollway. Glorias at the same location for Mexican.
