Information About AKo

About AKo

Artisanal Kosher comes to Hallandale Beach, FL!

Introducing AKo, kosher dining built around culinary sophistication and ingredient-driven cooking. Open since 2021, the restaurant formerly known as Alma was created with the goal of delivering fine dining that feels modern, soulful, and grounded in global flavors.

The name comes from their artisanal charm that they bring to their food with fresh ingredients, and their Avant-Garde approach that embraces innovation and creativity. The two combine into an art form that will keep all your senses engaged.

AKo's location is prime, being within Gulfstream Park and surrounded by other activities like Horse-Racing, Bowling, Karaoke, and a full mall. This makes it the perfect day trip: watch some horse-racing, go bowling, followed by dinner at AKo and then Karaoke or a visit to the Casino to close out the day.

The vibe blends old-school elegance with current details. Dark wood, fall-toned accents, low lighting, leather seating, and a massive top-shelf bar give the room a warm, polished character. Five dining rooms allow the restaurant to maintain intimacy even on busy nights, while outdoor seating and a full calendar of special menus and events keep the atmosphere dynamic.

Chef Samuel Friedman, trained at the Center for Kosher Culinary Arts and a seasoned veteran with more than fifteen years across catering, restaurants, and global culinary projects, brings a bold, boundary-pushing approach to flavor. His influences span Hungarian, Israeli, Mediterranean, Italian, Asian, and Latin cuisines; a reflection of the layered dishes that define the menu.

House specialties include homemade beef jerky in BBQ or smoked teriyaki, brisket tacos with slow-braised beef and fresh garnishes, and a flat-iron steak that showcases the kitchen’s focus on quality ingredients. Signature items such as pepper-crusted oyster steak, crescent steak, and beef back ribs highlight the restaurant’s comfortable luxury philosophy.

At its core, AKo is built on generosity in portions and in spirit. The team emphasizes hospitality, creativity, and a desire to give diners a personal experience. With fixed-price dinners, wine events, catering, and a steady rotation of new culinary concepts, AKo continues to evolve while staying true to its message: refined food, crafted with heart.
