Paul Qui (born August 14, 1980) is a Texas-based Top Chef winner and James Beard award recipient.
He operates restaurants East Side King (Austin), Thai Kun (Austin) and Pao (Miami).
In 2011, he won the ninth season of reality television cooking competition Top Chef.
Paul Qui was born in Manila, Philippines and moved to the United States as a child.
He attended high school in Springfield, Virginia and completed his culinary training at Le Cordon Bleu in Austin, Texas.
His initial forays into cooking professionally led to a job with Tyson Cole, chef/owner of Uchi and Uchiko restaurants in Austin.
During his time in the kitchen, Cole became Qui's mentor, and Qui eventually worked his way up to become the chef de cuisine and executive chef at Uchiko.
Qui was one of 29 contestants who appeared on Top Chef Season 9 in 2011, which was filmed in locations around Texas.
He won eight of the season's 16 elimination challenges and went on to win the entire season.
Tom Colicchio, the head judge of Top Chef, said that Qui was the most talented chef in the first 12 seasons of the show.
Following his win, he returned to Austin and opened his flagship restaurant, Qui, and a venture called East Side King, which showcases various Japanese-inspired dishes via food trucks with business partner Moto Utsunomiya.
Another of Qui's restaurants, Thai Kun, was recognized by Bon Appétit magazine as one of the best restaurants in America in 2014.
In 2016, Qui opened Pao by Paul Qui at Faena Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida.
In 2016, Qui was charged with assaulting his then-girlfriend while intoxicated, charges that were dropped in 2018.
However within a days of the announcement, Avanti owners opted to cut ties with Qui amid continued controversy over his 2016 assault arrest.
In addition to his win on Top Chef, Paul Qui also has earned the following awards:
In 2018, his new Houston restaurant Aqui received a rare four-star review from the Houston Chronicle, but it closed at the end of the year amidst controversy.
