About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
  • Romantic
Chefs Patrick Pham and Daniel Lee have over 25 years of combined experience in Japanese cuisine and sushi. They established their culinary careers in Houston where they worked together for years before creating their own restaurants.

Pham and Lee teamed up to bring new curated dining concepts to Houston’s food scene and kicked off a series of omakase pop-up dinners called Secret Taste. Pham and Lee then opened Kokoro in the Bravery Chef Hall in Downtown Houston followed by Handies Douzo in the Houston Heights.

Aiko is the newest concept from the team featuring a sushi bar and seated dining.

    We had the Happy Hour Omakase and it was excellent. Lisa took extremely good care of us, and it was an evening to remember for us as we entertained an out-of-town guest who loved everything about Aiko.

    My girlfriend and I decided to celebrate our anniversary at Aiko, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. One of the most important things I look for in a great restaurant is quality service, and Aiko truly delivered. Our waitress was incredibly attentive, and the staff consistently refilled our water without us having to ask—a small touch that really stood out. The food was exceptionally fresh and so tender it practically melted in our mouths. If I had to recommend one dish, it would be the Kinoko (King Trumpet Mushroom)—easily one of the highlights of the night. To top it all off, Aiko surprised us with a complimentary strawberry matcha meringue dessert to celebrate our anniversary. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and we truly appreciated it. I’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend Aiko to anyone looking for a special dining experience.

    Aiko is our favorite Japanese Restaurant in Houston and there is plenty of competition. We love the small venue, outstanding service and every dish is exceptional.
