Host

Kiko is a new 75-seat restaurant from the husband-wife team Alex Chang and Lina Goujjane. Chef Chang’s cuisine harmoniously blends American fare with Asian accents.

Chang's food is hyper-seasonal, influenced by his West Coast and Chinese roots, while also reflecting his work experience in Japan.

Chef Chang opened his first restaurant in Miami at just 24 years old, and his career has taken him around the world, from Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo’s Animal in Los Angeles to the renowned Pujol and Quintonil in Mexico City to the two Michelin starred Les Créations de Narisawa.

Prior to Kiko, Chang held the Executive Chef position at NYC’s famed Il Buco Alimentari.

Kiko will feature a full bar and an ambitious beverage program run by Lina Goujjane, an alum of The Nomad, Momofuku Group and two star Sushi Noz.

Goujjane is a second-generation NYC restaurateur and sommelier. Opening cocktail list will be a curation from former veteran of Saga and Overstory, Chris Lemperle.

The elegantly redesigned space will be a destination-worthy draw to Hudson Square, a

prime 33-block neighborhood ideally situated between the West Village, SoHo, and TriBeCa

in Lower Manhattan.

Recent collab Pop Ups include Kiko X Parcelle Wine Bar, Kiko X ATLA
