“Agnes and Sherman’s mission is to deliver a nostalgic, whimsical, and inclusive dining experience through the lens of Asian American food; and by doing so, expand the definition of American culture.”
Agnes and Sherman is a Modern Asian American Diner located in the heart of Houston, Texas. It is the culmination of Chef Nick Wong’s almost twenty years in the restaurant industry – from fine to casual dining – showcasing his take on flavor, technique, and creativity, to serve dishes that are accessible and joyful.
Agnes and Sherman will weave together two uniquely American food genres — Asian American and Diner — into a menu that is whimsical, nostalgic, and genre-defying. Through the lens of Asian American food, we hope to expand the definition of American culture.
Beyond the food, Agnes and Sherman will lead by the principles of sustainable longevity. We embrace our role as a part of an ecosystem and when we thrive, our community does too.
As a uniquely Houston restaurant, we hope to be known as the city’s neighborhood spot that’s expanding the meaning of Americana, telling stories through food and incorporating socially responsible business practices as a way to promote equality and equity in our society.
We can’t wait to welcome you in!
