Alkemē at Open Kitchen

Alkemē at Open Kitchen ROOTED IN TRADITION. TRANSFORMED BY MAGIC. Alkemē’s menu is heritage cuisine reimagined. Join us on this journey and experience the magic as it unfolds.

For nearly a decade, Open Kitchen has created and curated original, unforgettable shared food experiences that celebrate joyful human connections. Now, Open Kitchen Chef-Owner Hue Chan Karels and Executive Chef Erica Tai are excited to bring Santa Fe a restaurant that pays homage to their Asian culinary roots and brings to life ancestral recipes, stories, and memories of flavors combined with thei

r innovative approach. We aspire to transport guests to the vibrant, rich, and diverse culinary heritage of Vietnam, Taiwan, Korea, and Hawaii's Pacific Rim with an innovative spirit. Our food menu draws from and reinterprets heirloom recipes in a modern context, combining traditional and contemporary techniques to create exciting layers of flavors and diverse textures. An exciting beverage menu harmonizes with the ingredients and flavor profiles of our dishes, from interesting, eclectic wine and beer to creative craft cocktails and mocktails with fresh housemade mixers to heighten the overall dining experience of our guests.

Three years ago, we opened our doors with a vision: to honor heritage through food, hospitality, and shared experiences.

What began as an idea has become a community, a creative collaboration, and a place where cultures, stories, and traditions come together around the table.

As we prepare to celebrate our Third Anniversary Soirée on June 20, we're reflecting on where it all began, and feeling grateful for everyone who has been part of the journey.

Here's to three years of memories, and to many more to come, and be sure to reserve your seat at our Soirée!
