About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
  • Healthy
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.

    Food was not great. Nigiri pieces fell apart when trying to eat. Flavors in dishes were not complimentary.

    Aiko is our favorite Japanese restaurant and we certainly have a few in Houston, but for us it is our go to. We have never been disappointed with anything we've had at Aiko and the care they take in all aspects is just outstanding.

    Food was fantastic, but it was impossible to hear the server or even each other over the music and a large, loud party sitting nearby.

    LOVED THIS PLACE! It was my first time going and it was wonderful! We were there for happy hour (everyday 5-6:30pm) and they even have a small budget omakase! The service was wonderful as well! She did a wonderful job making our girls night extra special for us 🙈 will definitely come back with the boys another time 😁

    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
