Food created
with humility,
care & passion.
Hai Hospitality is an award-winning restaurant group with a never-ending passion for food, service, design and experience. In 2003, Chef Tyson Cole opened his first restaurant, Uchi, in a modest red house located in Austin, Texas. Now with four concepts, we continue to learn and push to offer the best food and experience in the hospitality space.
We support each restaurant in a variety of capacities so that each one 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 bring to bear regardless of where we call home.


Defying your expectations.
Crafting culinary innovations.
Growing knowledgeable staff.
Building conscious spaces.






The Hai name perfectly expresses our respect for the food, our guests, our culture, and the whole experience.
Built and cared for

It is the talented people that makes Hai Hospitality an award-winning restaurant group. Our vibrant culture encourages collaboration, creativity, and authenticity.
