In alignment with our values of care and respect, we have taken deliberate measures to ensure transparency around our ingredients. Key components of every dish are clearly described on our menus, and dietary references such as gluten-free or contains soy are notated wherever possible. This allows our guests to make informed, knowledgeable choices while dining with us. To view our full allergy policy, click here.
Alkemē’s drink menu harmonized with the flavor profiles of our dishes, from eclectic wine and beer to creative craft cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks to heighten your overall dining experience.
The Velvet Lantern Social (VLS) is Alkemē’s twice-monthly dining experience, held on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month. Inspired by the Vietnamese tradition of nhậu, these evenings are festive and social, with food designed for sharing and connection. Guests are welcome to join by reservation or walk-in and may be seated at communal tables.
The VLS menu offers a more playful and exploratory expression of the kitchen, distinct from our regular dinner menu. Rotating offerings alongside standing favorites allow for freshness, spontaneity, and creative experimentation.
The Velvet Lantern Social celebrates the joy of eating together and the belief that food is best experienced in good company—whether arriving solo or with friends.
Dining at Alkemē is a unique culture-to-table experience. Our food menu is Asian heritage cuisine reimagined. Chef-Owner Hue-Chan Karels and Executive Chef Erica Tai are reinterpreting heirloom recipes from their culinary roots of Vietnam, Taiwan, Korea, and Hawaii’s Pacific Rim to create dishes that are innovative yet steeped in tradition and culture. If you’ve enjoyed Open Kitchen Events, you will love Alkemē.
