2025 AAPI Restaurants Week

Event Date: May 16-25, 2025

Join us in celebrating AAPI Restaurants Week 2025, hosted by OCA Greater Chicago for the fourth consecutive year in honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month! From May 16-25, discover and support AAPI-owned restaurants across the Chicagoland area—featuring all types of cuisines, not just AAPI dishes. Participation is free for restaurants, with the only requirement being that at least one owner is of AANHPI descent. Some restaurants may choose to offer special menus, discounts, or donate proceeds to a cause, but there’s no obligation to do so. Whether you're dining in or ordering out, it's a great opportunity to celebrate culture through food and uplift local businesses. Restaurant owners with multiple locations are encouraged to register each one separately to increase visibility. Know an AAPI restaurateur? Spread the word and help us grow this vibrant celebration!
