NOW OVER 100 RESTAURANTS
The Asian Chamber of Commerce launched the ASIAN RESTAURANT MONTH beginning Memorial Day Weekend through Sunday July 4th. We are creating an awareness of the Asian culture through Asian inspired cuisine that will be highlighted by the participating food establishments.
Our goal is to show that there is a rich Asian Cuisine community in Houston, that extends beyond our cultural borders.
Visit the online directory and we invite you to dine at the participating food establishment. The Chamber is promoting this campaign to support our Asian community through the love of food.
