Bustling contemporary eatery for Southeast Asian cuisine & cocktails in a sleek & modern space.
"Aqui was a controversial restaurant by Paul Qui that closed in December 2018. It was critically acclaimed but lasted only a year and three months." - Amy McCarthy
"When chef Paul Qui opened his much-acclaimed restaurant Aqui, many of the city’s diners vowed to never visit the restaurant because of the chef’s domestic violence charges. Even after those charges were dropped this year, Qui remains a controversial figure, but Aqui has earned praise from critics and diners alike." - Amy McCarthy
"After earning a rare four-star review from Chronicle critic Alison Cook and inspiring countless debates among Houston diners, Aqui’s absence from the Best New Restaurants category is likely a surprise to some." - Amy McCarthy
