"I never precook anything... Good things take time" — chef Ngo
Durian ice cream made with fresh fruit, not powder
Shaken beef cubes are a regular favorite

One chef, one mission: everything made fresh to order. Ngo runs AK Kitchen solo, blending egg coffee for 20 minutes and churning ice cream in flavors like roasted almond Thai tea and fresh durian. The menu roams from lobster noodles in coconut broth to furikake Chex mix, a deliciously unfocused fever dream that somehow works.
