   Incredible in every way! The tasting menus 1 and 2 were creative and delicious. We didn't try Men 3. Worth the price tag.

   Our first time in and it will not be our last. Lovely atmosphere, attentive pleasant staff, and amazing food! Kudos to all involved. We shared the tempura mushrooms and steamed buns for starters. Then on to the fried branzino and the rice roulade for our mains. The Bombay Golden Hour was a great after dinner drink. Can't wait to go back!

   My husband and I were treated warmly upon entering. The decor is eclectic and the lighting a bit dim but the ambiance was inviting. We were blown away by the tasting menus and sake pairings. My husband had the meat menu and I had the fish. The food was delicious. After each course, I declared that course to be my favorite. The Vietnamese coffee flan dessert is not to be missed. The sake was delightful. The service was kind, courteous, respectful, knowledgeable and professional. Definitely will be back.

   Alkeme is an experience that marries culture and cuisine. We ordered the tasting menu 1 and were blown away by the presentation and flavors. The service was impeccable and the ambiance was romantic and perfect for Valentine’s Day. Bravo chefs!

   We looked at other reviews to find this place before a downtown concert. What a grand choice we made! From the moment we walked in and how we were met, to the presentation of our food… Stupendous! If you have a few extra bucks to spend for a meal… Please eat here. Every item exceeded our expectations and they were already high.

   This was an unique experience that we enjoyed! The pre fixed menu was tasty and unique! Very artistically created and exciting because we didn’t know what the next dish would look like until it was served to us. We chose the meat selection. The beef braised short ribs was our favorite - very tender good flavor! The rest of the meat dishes were pork-not our choice of meat. The chef came around to talk to each of the guests and I thought that was a wonderful touch getting to know her!

   Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, Laurie. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the surprises contained in our tasting menu and that you found the braised short ribs particularly enticing. We hope that you will come back to sample more of offerings when you next have the opportunity. We're also happy to hear that, aside from experiencing her food, you had a pleasant time getting to know Chef Erica. We strive to make the dining experience at Alkeme a personal one and we're pleased to know that our efforts in this regard resonated positively with you. Very best wishes and looking forward to seeing you again soon, the Alkeme team

   My husband and I went here for an early Valentine’s dinner as it is an intimate atmosphere. We had been once before so we had an idea of what to expect. To start we were welcomed in and treated like VIPs by owner, chef and servers. The tasting menus are a great way to become familiar with the food and were well explained to us. Loved the special drinks for Year of the Snake. We will be back and bring more friends!

   I should have gone for the $150 prix fixe dinner or just a normal dinner menu; the meal we had a well prepared and planned but the flavors were bland.

   Hello Norma, thank you for being such a devoted guest of Alkeme. We are sorry that the experience at our pop-up dinner did not meet your expectations; these pop-up dinners were meant to be unique offerings that differ from our typical dinner service and we understand that it did not match your preferences. Our chef/owner will reach out to you to learn more about your feedback, as we strive to be the best in all endeavors we produce. With best wishes for more great culinary experiences, the Alkeme team
