Friends around the city join a table of 6-12 for dinner at one of the many participating restaurants across Greater Austin. The options range from more affordable mom’n’pop restaurants all the way to fine-dining restaurants – or even private chef experiences hosted in the comfort of someone’s home!

To participate, restaurants and private chefs agree to donate a table for 6-12 guests which includes a minimum of three courses and drink/wine pairings. Asian Eats ATX will recruit the table host, sell the seats, and ensure each patron is informed of where to go and what to expect. Gratuity for staff will be coordinated by the restaurants and Asian Eats ATX.

Most hosts prefer to purchase the entire table and invite their friends to join for an evening of fun. Some hosts like to invite a few friends and leave the table open to others or to have their guests cover their individual share of the table price. Whatever the preferred way of filling the seats, the goal is to fill all 6-12 seats to raise as much money as possible to support that year’s Charity of Choice.

Of course! That is the preferred method of hosting. The Asian Eats ATX Table Auction opens in March 2025.

We are pleased to select Asian Texans for Justice (ATJ) as our 2025 Charity of Choice. Funds raised during Asian Eats ATX and Asian Eats After Dark will be distributed to ATJ to support their incredible mission and programs.

ATJ serves the more than 1.9 million Asian and Pacific Islander Texans to civic action to build personal and political power. They believe that civic engagement, policy advocacy, and coalition building are keys to creating a more equitable state for all people.

Partners help with the after-party, raffle items, and volunteering. If you are interested in supporting this year’s event, please let us know soon! Contact [email protected] to make arrangements or express interest.
