Hai Hospitality

Hai Hospitality is a restaurant group based in Austin, Texas. Our restaurants include uchi, uchiko, uchibā, and LORO. We have restaurant locations in Austin, Houston, Dallas, Denver, Miami. We have a passion for creating food using the freshest ingredients in ways that defy expectations. We value culinary innovation with an approachable vibe. We strive to serve each and every guest with an attentive and knowledgeable staff. We have a passion for design and architecture that results in thoughtfully designed environments. Hai Hospitality was created in 2015 as a way to broaden the definition of who we are as a restaurant group, and to give each of the restaurants the space to create and cultivate their own identities. Hai Hospitality supports each restaurant in a variety of capacities so that each location has the freedom to grow while still being part of the bigger family—a family that has a common set of core values, a shared vision for food, service, and design, and a collective pool of knowledge and expertise that we can apply regardless of where we call home.
