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.

The experience was wonderful. Our server, Maya, was very sweet and attentive throughout our time. The food was fresh and generous. Some deco seemed distracting but easily forgiving with the rest of the vibe

Overall the experience was great and food was wonderful. Our waitress seemed annoyed by having to serve us or maybe was just her disposition. A lil pricy, but I would say overall worth it.

Aiko is definitely a spot to add to your list. It’s doesn’t have the name of Uchi or Uchiko but the quality is there! It quaint but has an extensive menu of delicious items. I highly recommend!
