A northeast Houston suburb is trading axes for steak knives at a popular shopping center. Kings Harbor in Kingwood has announced the 20-acre waterfront development’s newest restaurant, Table 7 Prime Steakhouse.
Table 7 will take over the former space of Don’t Axe at 1660 West Lake Houston P-kwy. Don’t Axe closed in January 2025 after less than one year in business.
What used to be an entertainment bar and lounge with side-by-side axe-throwing lanes is being transformed into what Table 7 executive chef Thomas Nguyen hopes will be a “premier dining destination in Kingwood.”
According to a recent release from the Kingwood shopping center, Nguyen brings extensive culinary expertise to the restaurant, having spent the last 20 years working in fine-dining establishments, upscale-casual restaurants, luxury hotels and high-volume hospitality operations.
