Cincinnati’s Asian Cuisine Week is bringing you deals and secret menu items from over 40 Asian restaurants throughout the Greater Cincinnati area from Monday, Jan. 9 to Sunday, Jan. 15.

A week ahead of the Lunar New Year, participating restaurants are offering customers up to five $10 dishes or combos, and some restaurants are also including vegan items on their lists.

“We are excited to help Cincinnati discover and explore delicious Asian cuisine,” Chloe Tran, outreach coordinator of Asian Cuisine Week producer Asianati, a brand within the Asian American Cultural Association of Cincinnati, said in a press release. “We hope the community enjoys this week of delicious menus and will fall in love with restaurants they didn’t know were right in their neighborhood.”

This is also the first year for the Asian Cuisine Week Food Passport, which will help customers track their meals. Passports are available at participating restaurants, or you can print yours at home. You can also be entered to win a $25 gift card by sharing your restaurant experience online. On social media, use the hashtag #ACWCincy, tag Asianati and also tag the restaurant you visited.
