Just in time for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the second annual Asian Food Week kicks off next week. The celebration runs from May 3 to 9 at more than 50 Asian restaurants in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Participants can choose from a $30 three-course prix fixe menu, a $20 three-course prix fixe menu, or a “secret item” not typically found on the menu.

The event is presented by Asianati, a digital platform launched last fall by the Asian American Cultural Association of Cincinnati (AACAC) to celebrate Asian food and culture. The brand’s goal is to expose the community to Asian culture and “bridge different Asian cultures together,” says Koji Sado, cofounder of Asianati and Asian Food Week manager.
