HOUSTON – May 1 marks the start of Asian Restaurant Month across the Houston area.
Founded by the Asian Chamber of Commerce Houston in 2021, Asian Restaurant Month promotes Asian restaurants in the Greater Houston Area. During the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, these restaurants were among the hardest hit. Every year, Asian Restaurant Month coincides with Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month.
