Our Story

Born from fire, heritage, and soil

Hearth & Heritage

HAKU KITCHIN was founded on a simple belief: that fire is the ultimate medium of culinary truth. Chef Alice Shrestha envisioned a space where modern techniques strip away the noise, leaving only the pure, wood-fired essence of local ingredients.

From building relationships with family-owned farms to foraging wild herbs in local woodlands, our kitchen is deeply rooted in the seasons and local soil. Our open-hearth kitchen brings guests into the warmth and theater of the culinary craft.
