Passport to Austin's AAPI restaurants

This Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Austinites can celebrate AAPI culture through a restaurant "passport" system that comes with discounts.

Details: The $65 book encourages support of local AAPI-owned businesses.

• Proceeds support the Austin Asian Community Health Initiative (AACHI), which aims to improve the health and well-being of Asians in Central Texas.
• The Family Style Passport contains roughly $350 in discounts from more than 45 restaurants.

🍽️ How it works: To participate, order your passport online — which will then be mailed to you or you can pick up.

• You can use your passport through July 31.
• It can only be used when payment is made in person.

What they're saying: "This passport invites Austinites to explore the diversity of the city's Asian culinary scene while supporting the local businesses behind it," AACHI executive director Hailey Easley said in a statement.

Zoom in: Participating restaurants include Lao'd Bar, OMG Squee, Oseyo, Kome, Yeni's Fusion, The Peached Tortilla, Wu Chow and Sa-Tén, among others.
