James took care of us at dinner on a Friday night. He was awesome and explained the menu very well. He made some really good recommendations and I'm glad we listened. We were here specifically for Restaurant Week and I have to say, good a really good deal considering the prices of some of the items we got. The Wagyu tartare alone was $52 already, and we spent $90 on a 3-course meal for RW. We had crispy rice tuna, Wagyu tartare, Chilean sea bass, filet mignon, cinnamon roll, and the smores cake. To drink, I had an old fashioned with a Japanese whisky. It was nice and oaky. The wife had the she so spicy which was excellent (I had a sip). Everything we ate was divine; the only thing we were a little disappointed in was the consistency of the crispy rice. We wished it would have been a bit more sushi rice consistency on the inside, but it was a bit too soggy. Everything else was amazing though, especially the sea bass. The restaurant itself is so pretty, and we happened to get seated in the instagrammable area with the greenery. We are locals, so don't really care much for a strip view, but the restaurant does have a nice one. Would we come back here and pay à la carte next time? Probably not, but only because we try to avoid the strip like the plague. read more

KYU - Coconut Cream Spinach, Roasted Duck Breast, and Korean Fried Chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I recently dined at KYU inside the Fontainebleau resort and had a great experience overall. I sat at the bar. The decor is stylish, with a warm ambiance. It's a bit on the upscale side. To start, I ordered the avocado salad, which was light, fresh, and a perfect way to begin the meal. I also tried the tuna crispy rice, which was quite tasty and the grilled octopus, which was very chewy. The real standout of the night was dessert! The coconut cake was absolutely to die for! I'm still thinking about it! It was rich and moist without being too heavy. I also ordered the s'mores since I couldn't decide on just one dessert, and while it was fun and tasty, the coconut cake completely stole the show. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting! It's a must try! read more

For my recent one night stay at Fontainebleu, I chose this restaurant over Don's Prime for dinner. The restaurants are situated adjacent to each other on the ground level; Mother Wolf is also here. While Don's Prime is a classic steakhouse, Kyu, which has 2 other locations in the US, serves Asian fusion with some wood-fired items. The restaurant is very attractive, with a glassed-in open kitchen, large windows looking out to the Strip, a vertical garden wall (real or fake?). The menu offers dishes influenced by several Asian countries. They have a tasting menu of sorts called The Kyu Experience, which is what I went with. There was some confusion as to what dishes come with the Experience. Apparently parties of 2 or more get 7 plates. I was a solo diner, so only got 5 plates, and not all the ones the waiter said I would get. Still, it was a decent introduction to the menu. Here's what I received: Krunchy Kale. Flash fried kale served with a bracingly acidic nam prik dipping sauce. Tasty, but greasy and a bit salty. Used the dipping sauce sparingly because of its mouth-puckering qualities. Tuna Crispy Rice. One piece of a classic starter. Their version was fine, but the crispy rice leaned more towards hard vs crispy, a common fate with this dish. Korean Fried Chicken. I would have probably ordered this dish if I had gone a la carte; I like to try different versions when it's offered. Kyu's version was a fried thigh and breast with the sauce on the bottom with some braised spinach. The chicken alone was decently fried and crispy, but the sauce was MUCH too spicy for me! I ended up just eating the chicken. The KFC I like has some sweetness to it along with the savory and (some) spice. This one only had heat. It was the second misfire on KFC for me on this Vegas trip. The KFC at ZIppy's had almost no flavout (or sweetness) and was hard to boot. Stone Pot Thai Fried Rice. The best dish of the meal. This was the vegetarian version with requisite egg on top mixed in tableside. The rice had great flavour and lots of crispy edges from the stone pot, which is what you want. It reminded me of the rice I had at Best Friend at the Park MGM, but that one had less crispy edges and more tartness from the kimchi , expected since it's a Korean place. Pork Belly Bao Bun. A now ubiquitous dish, perhaps made famous by David Chang (Momofuku). Kyu's version was fine. I was also given a dessert, a tiramisu bao, which was nice. I ordered the Coconut Cream Spinach a la carte because I was curious. It was unique and decent. I put the spinach from the chicken in this dish to soften the spiciness. Should I return, I'd want to try the cauliflower (which I thought I was going to get with the Experience) and the duck or short rib. But I also want to try Don's Prime. read more

The Kyu Experience dinner at Kyu for 2. Starters: Krunchy Kale(crunchy yet light and not overly greasy, nam prik sauce was light and citrus), Tuna Crispy Rice (tuna was good and the crispy rice was hot and crunchy), Roasted Cauliflower (goat cheese shishito herb vinaigrette was creamy and a good balance without making the dish too heavy. Main: Prime Brisket (tender moist thick cuts with various sauces and salt, wasabi, etc. to bring out different flavor profiles and lettuce so you can enjoy them as lettuce wraps), Korean Fried Chicken (juicy chicken with a crunchy exterior, the chili butter sauce is fairly spicy so small dips were perfect), Thai Rice Stone Pot with King Crab (great flavor, blended crunchy rice brings great consistency to the dish), Japanese Sweet Potato (perfectly cooked sweet potato so even the peel is delicious, the buttered black sugar is good but the Parmesan cheese can be overpowering if too much in a bite). Dessert: Tiramisu Bao (light tiramisu flavor, moist cake layer and cookie, glob of caramel in the middle) Overall, great showcase of some of their main dishes. Probably enough food for 4 so we had quite a bit of leftovers. read more

Living in Las Vegas, we have a large choice of premium experiences available. KYO exceeds all expectations. With a wreck on the freeway there, we had to modify our reservations and that went smoothly. Eye contact and smile upon entering. BEST staff ANYWHERE, the menu was explained and drinks never left empty. Exquisite food presentation. The food tasted and smelled fantastic too. I actually joked that I could lick the plate to keep capturing the flavors and the waiter said he believes I would not be the first to do so. Thank you for a perfect evening. read more

A Flawless Date Night at KYU - Fontainebleau Las Vegas! If you're looking for the perfect date night spot in Vegas -- where modern elegance meets smoky, Asian-inspired flavor -- KYU is it! From the moment we walked in, the vibe, food, and service were all absolutely on point. Every dish felt thoughtful, every drink was crafted to perfection, and the entire experience had that magical "Vegas energy" -- upscale but still warm and welcoming. Our Full KYU Experience Date night with my boyfriend -- and as always, his restaurant picks never miss! This time he chose KYU, inside the gorgeous Fontainebleau Las Vegas, and honestly... he nailed it. This was one of those meals where everything -- from the design to the dessert -- just hit perfectly. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere drew us in. The entrance is lined with sleek wooden panels that glow softly, setting a warm, earthy tone. You can smell that faint, mouthwatering wood-fired aroma before you even walk in. Once inside, you're immediately greeted by a lively, stylish bar scene buzzing with energy. To the left is the hostess stand, where the staff greeted us with smiles and led us to our table. Tip: Make a reservation! We booked ours for 5 PM, which was ideal -- not too crowded, with that early-evening calm before the dinner rush. We were seated at Table 56, and I swear it's the best view in the house. From there, we could see the entire restaurant the ambient glow from those dreamy chandeliers that resemble floating lily pads. The lighting was perfectly moody yet bright enough to read the menu (and take a few food pics, of course!). Our server, Bryan, was exceptional -- friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the menu. KYU is pronounced like the letter "Q." His recommendations were spot-on all night, and his timing was flawless -- attentive without ever hovering. The menu itself was beautifully curated -- not too long, easy to navigate, and filled with unique options. The cocktail list immediately caught my eye, full of creative mixes and tropical twists. I started with the Roshi's Island, a Thai basil watermelon mojito. Bryan said it's a fan favorite, and he wasn't kidding -- light, refreshing, and bursting with fresh watermelon flavor. For my second drink, I switched to a non-alcoholic Hibiscus Cooler -- tangy, floral, and perfectly chilled. It was the perfect way to stay cool as dinner heated up. For starters, we ordered the Avocado Salad and the Grilled Octopus. The salad was so fresh and vibrant -- creamy avocado, crisp greens, and just the right citrusy kick. I could've easily eaten another one. The octopus was tender, smoky, and seasoned to perfection -- one of the best I've had anywhere, honestly. Then came the main event -- and wow. We shared the Thai Rice Stone Pot with King Crab, the Filet Mignon, and the Beef Short Rib. Every single bite was bursting with flavor. The stone pot came sizzling hot, packed with delicious textures and that amazing crab richness. The filet was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the short rib had that deep, slow-cooked flavor that just makes you close your eyes and sigh. For sides, we had the Grilled Broccoli and the Japanese Sweet Potato. The broccoli had that perfect smoky char, and the sweet potato -- oh my goodness -- had these subtle vanilla notes that made it almost dessert-like. Total comfort food heaven. Speaking of dessert -- the grand finale was unforgettable. My boyfriend went all in with the Dark Chocolate S'mores Cake topped with banana-bourbon ice cream, and let's just say he didn't leave a crumb. I stole a few bites and instantly fell in love -- rich, gooey, and indulgent. I went for the Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu, which was the cutest thing ever, shaped like a little dumpling! The presentation alone was worth it, but the taste? Even better. Pro tip: dig right into the center to get all the coffee, cream, and cocoa layers in one perfect bite. Absolutely divine. By the end of the night, we were full, happy, and already planning our next visit. From the ambiance to the impeccable service and that unforgettable smoky-Asian flavor, KYU is a total gem. It's classy without being stuffy, modern without being cold, and every detail -- from cocktails to lighting -- feels perfectly balanced. If you're looking for a spot that delivers vibe, flavor, and romance, look no further. Whether it's date night, a celebration, or just a treat-yourself evening, KYU at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas deserves a spot at the top of your must-try list. We'll definitely be back -- and next time, I'm ordering that stone pot all to myself! read more

I came here on Halloween as you can tell from my photos. Hehe First and foremost, I don't like sweet potatoes that much but this place has changed my mind on that!! It's baked white sweet potato with butter plus toasted on top just topped it off. I am obsessed with it. (I even told my friend plus the server that I ain't touching it...) Now we can start talking about the other dishes. The ribs just falls off the bone literally and super tender plus flavorful! Hamachi is fresh, the fried chicken have the perfect seasoning and sauce, crab rice was a bit too sweet for me (so I went home and re-seasoned it lol), the wagyu tartar was a little dry for me but the bread that goes with it is fire (I'll be down to just order the bread), and the desserts are a must!!! We got the S'mores one and Vietnamese tiramisu. Our drinks were amazing same as our server and chef plus great company!! It is so pretty inside! TIPS: Eat the Wagyu fresh on the spot or ask for some truffle oil for it. I went home and added my own truffle oil and it was bomb af. Follow me on yelp if you like my vibe!! xoxo eatwithjennime read more

I really wanted to like this place, but the Thai hotpot was a total letdown. It came out soggy and strangely sweet--nothing like the bold, balanced flavors Thai food is known for. And for something advertised with king crab, I honestly couldn't find any in the dish. For the price and hype, it just didn't deliver. The bbq ribs were ok but truly nothing to write about - I honestly don't recommend this place. read more

Dined here for a birthday dinner and had one of the nicest waiters ever. In fact, he was one day out from welcoming his 4th child into the world and was extra nice and patient as we navigated the meal with our 10 month old son alongside us. We went mainly with what got called out as fan favorites. The cauliflower lives up to the hype even though ours was served closer to room temperature than it should have been. The sweet potato was crazy delicious and was legitimately a contender for my favorite dish of the meal. The duck stone pot rice was great and the side of parker house rolls was much tastier than I expected Kyu to be serving up. I will say that the sea bass was a bit of a letdown; presentation was solid but temperature again made us feel like this was a fairly mass produced item. Cocktails were top notch and the dessert offerings were solid. Can't wait to come back and try the short rib. read more

Food service and ambiance were all superb! The octopus was amazing! The lemon sauce on the Hamachi crudo was perfect! A not such a fan of any ethnic food was also dining with me and they thoroughly enjoyed their fried chicken, and a devout carnivore obliterated their bbq beef rib!!!!! read more

A friend and I came for her birthday. We went at 5:30 because we had show reservations and it was pretty quiet at that time. The restaurant is bright and open. Our server was good about recommending different things so we tried a variety. I ordered the fish and I found it to be a little tough. They did bring my friend a free dessert for her birthday, which was nice. After we left and we're going into the show, we got a text from them that there was an issue with our bill and we had to come back. Well, we couldn't then, so we went after the show and the people at the front we're trying to figure out what the issue was and why they reached out. They finally figured out that we got charged the wrong amount and they had to recharge our credit card. It was just this mess and we had to keep checking our credit cards for about a week to make sure we got charged correctly. read more

Kyu did not meet my expectations. I went there to celebrate Christmas with my kids, but unfortunately, I did not enjoy the food at all. I honestly don't understand what others love about this place, it just wasn't my type. The restaurant was also pretty empty during our visit, so the atmosphere felt a bit boring and lacking energy. I couldn't even finish my meal. Overall, based on my experience, I don't think I will be coming back. Hopefully others may have a different experience, but for me, it was disappointing. I don't even have any picture for the food. only from the hotel room ha ha read more

Came into town for a weekend with my family and had the best experience! My husband and I travel a lot for work, and we actually just visited Japan a couple of months ago, so we loved the atmosphere of this restaurant as well as the decor- it felt very authentic and the restaurant is beautiful. Our server James was extremely knowledgeable and out of the thousands of restaurants we have visited, this was one of our top experiences thanks to James. He took his time to explain his recommendations, and timed our dishes and dessert to come out perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised and grateful to be able to have such a wonderful time with my family. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area, and when you make your reservation, do yourself a favor and request James. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town! read more

KYU - Korean chicken, filet mignon, short rib, and duck breast - Asian Fusion Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Made reservations for dinner on a Thursday evening at Kyu. Located in the Fontainebleau on the first floor. The inside of the restaurant is quite spacious. The service and most of the food was pretty good. The Pork Gyoza was good - their ponzu sauce was different. We didn't care for the Tuna Crispy Rice - the crispy rice was so thick the rice was too chewy. The Avocado Salad was okay, but the avocados were hidden under the greens and needed to be tossed. The Thai rice stone pot was okay. So up to that point we weren't impressed... then it came out- the Beef Short Rib! It's tender, decadent and tasty! The meat was absolutely delicious! Desert time came and we tried the Dark Chocolate S'mores Cake and the Kyu Cinnamon Roll. Both were amazing! All in all, the experience was good. read more

TLDR: Come here for upscale Asian-inspired dinner classics in a stunning modern setting that would make the nicest bars in NY and LA jealous. ------ FOOD: The Chilean sea bass came highly recommended by the waitress and she was absolutely right. It was the perfect savory, buttery fish fillet, similar to black cod. Came with delicious pickled, mixed herbs that cut through the richness of the fish beautifully. Paired it with a fantastic baby bok choy side topped with a healthy amount of chili crisp oil and garlic. It's the perfect side to share or to add some greens into your Vegas diet. ------ AMBIANCE / SERVICE: My waitress Pristina was the absolute best and was not only kind and attentive but also so fun and personable. Various people on the team checked in throughout the meal and I felt well take care of. The vibe is phenomenal. The restaurant is a stunning, dimly-lit, modern space and there's even a private room in case you want to host an event here. Only ding would be that my food took a very long time to come out even though there were very few dining at the time. read more

Amazing experience. We just got back from Korea and had a night in Vegas. Great fusion spot to come and try out. 1 con I wasn't in love with the stir fry/thai pot dish. 10+ pros Great service, very attentive Friendly staff, others check I'm to make sure you're good The ribs (which is very rare for me) we're delicious and I devoured it, minus the ones I shared to not be stingy, lol The sweet potato sounds unappealing, but to my surprise was really good. Then dessert options looked tasty, but we kept it simple. You can be dressy or casual here in true Vegas fashion. It's near one of the many entrances to the Fountainbleau hotel. Thanks to our server for making our night enjoyable. read more

Definitely a beautiful restaurant in the FB. Right when you entered, you have a beautiful bar. Open kitchen on the right as you entered. Ambience is warm and beautiful. We were seated and can see the back of the bar. The draping made it just an amazing view. There were 6 of us. All colleagues in town for a conference. Wanted to enjoy a nice restaurant. Service from our main waiter was ok. He was sufficiently doing it but not great. Either we all spoke too softly or he cannot hear so at times, we had to raise our voice to repeat our order or our wants to him. Support staff was great. Food came out timely. Table and plates were cleaned off or taken away when needed. Food was ok. Although flavorful and presentation was great, no dish stood out. We had a variety of cocktails and again nothing stood out. So overall, an ok dinner by all of us. read more

We're locals specifically here for Restaurant Week and we had such a great experience. Kyu (pronounced like the letter Q) is located on the casino level of Fontainebleau. Right across from Yves Saint Laurent. Made a reservation for Saturday at 7pm and we were seated right away. I think most days reservations aren't needed but we made one just in case. For restaurant week, it's a three course meal for $80. Each course had multiple options to choose from. Between my hubby and I, we had a total of six items to try! We got the following: FIRST COURSE: -Hamachi Crudo (total of 6 pieces) -Tuna Crispy Rice (total of 4 pieces) Both items were delicious. We enjoyed the Hamachi Crudo more. The citrus gave it such a refreshing taste. SECOND COURSE: -Korean Fried Chicken -Thai Rice Stone Pot with duck confit It's bone-in chicken btw. But the flavoring of the chili butter and there's a side of braised spinach...mmmm mmm....the chili butter makes this dish. The duck thai rice's portion was HUGEEEE. It's seriously MORE than enough for two people with leftovers too! Solid choice. The waiter mixed a poached egg and there's cilantro too. Delicious all together. THIRD COURSE: -Dark Chocolate S'mores Cake with banana bourbon ice cream -The Kyu Cinnamon Roll The winner here is the dang banana bourbon ice cream! Whoooo mann....I'd just order that alone. But the s'mores cake was good too. The cinnamon roll was nothing to write home about. Definitely the weak spot of the night. Service was on point and staff was on their A-game all night. Food was brought out in a timely manner. Kyu is now on our list of top restaurants. read more

~Food/Drinks~ The Kyu Experience: This was recommended by the server if we were interested in trying a lot of items. All of their dishes are meant to be shared, but of course, you can order for yourself too. But after the meal, we realized that it would've been a better option to order things individually. The prices didn't really add up, and we would've saved some money by opting out of some things too. Food was amazing though! Apps: Krunchy Kale was really good, super crispy and that citrus sauce to dip was refreshing. Not really worth the price though but if you're splurging, give it a try. Tuna Crispy Rice came with two pieces and I think it's tailored to how many people are doing the experience. It's a generous amount of tuna and the rice is piping hot from being deep-fried. The Roasted Cauliflower is an entire head of cauliflower! The server will cut it up and you just have to mix it in with the goat cheese and vinaigrette sauce, which gives it a sharp and creamy flavor. Highly recommend! Entrees: For the Thai Rice Stone Pot, you can pay extra to upgrade to King Crab, which is what we did. This was so good! Leave the rice on the bottom alone so it can get crispy. Lots of crab meat and the runny egg yolk mixed into the rice gave it a creamy consistency. The lemongrass flavor is strong though but we didn't mind at all. The Beef Short Rib was unexpectedly just average. You get a couple of good slices of meat but I thought the majority was too dry. The Korean Fried Chicken was all dark meat and had this really amazing chili butter. Not sure how this was Korean though since the fried batter tasted more like American fried chicken. Maybe they used gochujang as the chili? Sides: If we were ordering individually, I would've opted out of the Japanese Sweet Potato. It's pretty good but it's a lot. A giant sweet potato that's been split open and tastes like it was cooked on a campfire. More sweet than savory too but it's so filling and we didn't even finish it. At the end, we also got a little tiramisu dessert, shaped like a bun. Very soft, delicate, and smooth. A good finish after all of the heavy dishes. ~Service~ Servers were great and friendly. They were attentive and refilled waters without asking and timed each course perfectly. While we didn't have any issues, I did overhear a table behind us getting angry and I thought the server handled the situation very well. ~Atmosphere~ The restaurant has a fancier vibe but not too fancy where they were enforcing a strict dress code. We dressed up just a bit, like collared shirts and long pants, for the occasion but there were people much more casual than us. Just don't show up in flip-flops and tank tops. It's kind of dim inside but at least the noise isn't too loud. We were able to talk to each other without leaning over the table and constantly repeating ourselves. ~Logistics~ The restaurant is located inside Fontainebleau. We made reservations just to be safe but the restaurant never fully filled up while we were eating dinner. ~Conclusion~ Recommend trying at least once! I'm glad I did the Kyu Experience because now I know what to order again and what to avoid. There's still a lot of other dishes on the menu that I'd like to try as well. read more

Food, service and atmosphere were excellent. I hope to dine here again, although prices are a bit on the high end for me, but probably not for the guests at Fountainbleau. I would have liked to see a sampler platter for the meat. We wanted to try the chicken and the brisket, but since the appetizers all sounded more interesting, we only got the brisket. I was most excited about the yuzu preserves on the burrata - it was a perfect blend of mild and sour, and the bread was grilled to perfection. Besides the burrata, the kale and sweet potato were the only thing we finished. The cauliflower itself was a bit bland, and the sauce mild. I would have liked to have it grilled a bit more or some garlic to give it more flavor. The Brisket was a bit dry... at $66 I would have expected it to be perfection. The rice bowl was tasty, although not that memorable. I think I was hoping for a drier fried rice or a more unique flavor. On my return I hope to get the chicken and Tiramisu. The drinks looked tasty, too - but I had my fill at the pool before our arrival. read more

Everything about KYU was absolutely amazing. From start to finish, this was a 10/10 dining experience. Every single dish we ordered was perfect, not one miss on the entire menu. That almost never happens at restaurants, especially in Vegas, but KYU absolutely nailed it. The flavors, execution, and presentation were all on point. You can truly tell the kitchen takes pride in every plate that goes out. Huge shoutout to our server Brian, who was fantastic. Attentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even better without ever being overbearing. If you're staying at or visiting Fontainebleau, KYU is a must. Rarely do you find a restaurant where everything hits! This place delivers across the board. Highly recommend. Cheers, read more

This is one of the restaurants inside the Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel. I was able to get seated right away for a Thursday night diner without a reservation. To start off, the service and atmosphere were nice. The hosts and servers were very attentive and friendly. However, I personally just didn't find the food tasty and don't feel like it lives up to its price tag. I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken and the Thai Stone Pot with duck which are both signature dishes (as indicated on the menu). The Korean Fried Chicken was served with a sauce which tastes pretty similar to a spicy sriracha aioli. The sauce doesn't taste bad but it's just not enough to make up for the dryness and lack of the flavor of the chicken. The only thing I really like about this dish is the spinach served with the chicken. As for the Thai Stone Pot Rice, I wish that they would somehow mention on the menu or in person that it's very strong in ginger flavor. Because I'm not a fan of ginger, I struggled to finish the plate and had many leftovers. If you like Thai sweet chili sauce mixed with ginger then you might like this dish. Just be aware of that you don't get much protein and most of it would be rice. Overall, I'm feel neutral about Kyu but would not recommend the Korean Fried Chicken and Thai Stone Pot Rice. read more

This review is based on my visit on 2/22/25, which was my 3rd time at Kyu. I don't often repeat spots on the Strip because there are just so many places still on my list, but I have had a great time at Kyu every time I've been. My party of 3 slid up to the bar, which is a great place to sit, BTW. We had a view of the basketball games that were playing on their TV screens and the action at the bar, which for me is always entertaining. They had these amazing (and ginormous) animal-shaped vessels they were filling with a pink creamy-looking beverage. Looked like a fun time, but we weren't in the mood to heavily imbibe so passed. We were in the mood for some great food, and ordered a few entrees to share: - Korean fried chicken: I LOVE this dish. I think it was my second time having it. Everything about this dish hits - the fried skin on the chicken, the spicy and multi-dimensional sauce, the spinach and wedge of citrus to help cut the richness. Get it! - Beef short rib: The char and juicy succulence of this meat - wow. I enjoyed the pickled veggies and sauce selection too. The only thing I longed for when eating this was a bowl of rice. We didn't order any dessert this visit, but I can vouch for the fact that they are innovative and amazing. I'm not sure if they are still doing the bao trio, but if they are, this is an absolute MUST. (Hint: they are not really baos - they are just disguised to look like them.) Kyu is not only a vibe, it has real substance and turns out beautiful and memorable food. 10/10 recommend! read more

Amazing top notch service! Hit or miss food Tuna crispy rice - modern take on a nigiri, super crispy rice, Chipotle mayo and Yuzu with tuna, I loved the yuzu which cut the fat and added a bright flavor. I just wish it wasn't minced tuna. Pork belly baos - unimpressive, Chipotle mayo again, bao bun was ripped (the skin layer for steaming), pork belly was not a tender as expected, would NOT recommend, Go to momofuku instead Beef short ribs - TENDER AND JUICY , different sauces and cucumber/ onion pickles and seasonings you can add to make your own custom lettuce wrap. The sauce and pickles were great. Unfortunately the meat to wrap ratio is out of control, you will probably order multiple in order to eat with for all the meat. Maybe we expected a vietnamese style to eat Service was frequent attentive and overall first class by everyone! Atmosphere was green, beautiful and modern Overall it's a cute date spot, but as the food is hit or missi probably wouldn't return read more

Decided to do a solo splurge meal at KYU and it was so worth it. I'll start by saying the portion sizes are large but I made a valiant effort. Had the beef short rib with Japanese sweet potato as a side. The beef was tender, succulent, fall off the bone. And it came with a variety of tasty things to try it with from simple salt & pepper to wasabi and a trio of sauces, plus lettuce to make lettuce wraps. And then you'd think a sweet potato is just a sweet potato, but no. This one had me rethinking every sweet potato I've ever eaten in my life. Service at the bar was great. I ordered my drink and had it in less than a minute and the food was delivered before I properly took a sip. 5 stars read more

Decided to book this restaurant for an anniversary dinner since it was highly recommended by a friend. Initially what stood out was the abysmal service. We had reservations set for 9:30pm on Saturday evening. We arrived early and were attended by the host. I was surprised to meet the restaurant to be pretty empty but I'm not surprised. We thought we would get prime restaurant seating preferably a booth due to the occasion we were celebrating but we did not. I even inquired as she walked us to a random open table if we were going to get seated at better table. Side note: hostess appeared very confused as she walked us to this random table that wasn't clean and prepared. They denied our booth request and gave it to the Asian couple who came after us. I specifically heard the hostess ask them what seating would they prefer and would they like the booth and offered it to them. When I asked the host about the both seating she said no it was reserved. I replied that they were offered that, it was never reserved. Not sure if this was racially motivated because we are Black but this preferential service to customers who had later reservations than we did should not be the norm. There should be no discrimination against customers in 2025 and given to another group of people just because they represent the restaurants demographics. As far as the food options, there is a one page food menu. We tried the pork belly bao buns as appetizers. Then the Thai rice stone pot, beef short rib, and coconut cream spinach. The pork belly bao buns were nothing special. The presentation was extremely lackluster. Taste wise, the pork belly was crispy but tender and good to the taste. The entrees took quite awhile for it to come out which is surprising since the restaurant is not busy. Our beef short rib was cold, not as moist and lacked seasoning. The confit duck Thai rice stone pot was just okay. The duck was very scarce in the rice. The rice was very sticky, burnt to the bottom and crispy at some points. Overall the food was 2/5. If you want better Asian-inspired dishes there are plenty other options than this restaurant. read more

We had excellent service, especially with recommendations for all ages. All of us enjoyed our drinks, entrees, and apps. Very hearty portion sizes and worked well to share. The music was a good variety while also mood appropriate. We loved it. read more

We came in with a group of people after a work meeting. We had two reservations to accommodate a large party, and requested that our two tables be near each other, but that did not happen. I'm not quite sure what happened, but even though our table was seated after the other table, we were already finished with our meal by the time their food came. It might have been because our table ordered family style and they ordered separate dishes, so ours came out as they were ready. We ordered a variety of dishes, and they were all good, but the clear favorite was the Korean fried chicken. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that it's going to suck when I crave this after I go back home! It was delicious and the sauce that it was in, slightly spicy and very flavorful, was absolutely wonderful. We also loved the Japanese sweet potato. The pork belly bao was very good, the cauliflower was decent, and the s'mores cake was delicious. Like all restaurants in Vegas, the prices are very high. The cocktails started at $22 for their seasonal and specialty cocktails, they were small but tasty. Our server was friendly, and we enjoyed the service. While the prices are higher than I expected, the food was very good and we had a pleasant dinner. read more

KYU is one of those places that quietly delivers an unforgettable experience. Both times I've been, it's been surprisingly quiet which helped with fast service, but I'm surprised it hasn't been busier. I first came for a team dinner and we did the full KYU experience, and left absolutely stuffed. Every dish was delicious, but the vegetable dishes truly stole the show, which says a lot. Standout, memorable mentions from the experience include the kale, crispy tuna, pork gyoza, and fried rice. The Japanese sweet potato deserves its own paragraph. Photos do not do it justice. It is genuinely one of the best things I've ever tasted - perfectly cooked, rich with buttered black sugar, and finished with parmesan cheese. Completely crave-worthy. Service was great throughout, and the team was very conscientious and thoughtful about allergies, which I really appreciated. KYU is a place I'll happily return to again and again for consistently excellent food and a polished, comfortable dining experience. read more
