Used to be one of my favorite for a while. Still nice vibes but I feel like the food is just ok not spectacular like it used to be. read more

KYU had been on our list for a while so we were so excited to finally get a chance to try it. We were really disappointed with both the service and the food! We had an 8pm reservation to sit outside. We arrived a few minutes early and saw that there were two tables outside fully bussed and prepared with place settings. The hostess asked us to wait a few minutes, which we had no problem with. Once it hit 8:15, we started getting a little frustrated. We asked the hostess three times to seat us at the fully prepared table and she said we needed to wait. She eventually sat us at one of the tables that had been ready for over 20 minutes when we first arrived. We ordered a few drinks, one we really did not enjoy at all but that's just a matter of taste. The other three drinks we had were very good. We also ordered the tuna tataki, burrata, and soft shell bao bun. The tuna tataki and burrata were fine but not amazing. The soft shell bao bun was very wet and falling apart in our hands. Really slimy. We ordered the duck breast which was definitely the best thing we had there, but definitely not worth $46. I was amazed at how expensive the meal was and how underwhelmed we left. We had to eat somewhere else after. Really really disappointing! read more

Top 3 restaurant and it ain't 2 or 3. Kyu went crazy. Everything we had was exceptional. If you're debating trying, don't think, just do. In the words of a little company I call Nike, JUST DO IT!!! But actually the service was friendly, vibe was solid, and everything we ordered was fresh and unique. For appetizers, I had the Tuna Crispy Rice and Olivia had the Steak Tartare. Both were great, but the crispy rice especially stood out. Big time kick from the wasabi. For entrees, I got the Brisket and Olivia got the Korean Fried Chicken. The brisket was textbook. Smoked, tender, and with a tangy‑sweet sauce that balanced beautifully with pickles and onions. The chicken was crispy outside, juicy inside, served over a zesty sauce with spinach and a squeeze of lime 10/10. Don't forget dessert... the Dark Chocolate S'mores Cake was *chefs kiss* . Lava‑like chocolate center, toasted marshmallow top, graham cracker‑style crumble. Coconut Cake was good, light but tasty. But the s'mores stole the show. If you're in Wynwood, Miami Spice or not, you've got to try Kyu. read more

I Need to talk to you about my experience at KYU. Huge shoutout to Chris at the bar, he welcomed us in with such a great energy while we waited for our table, and the drinks he made? Elite. The perfect start to the night. Bree took over once our table was ready and everything just flowed. Attentive, warm, and completely on top of it without ever missing a beat. And the food... every single dish felt like an experience and somehow better than the last!!! I genuinely couldn't pick a favorite. Even the krunchy kale had personality (which says a lot). The branzino, steak tartare, Korean fried chicken, octopus, mussels... I'm still thinking about all of it. Kim, the manager, was consistently checking in and making sure everything was perfect, and that level of attention to detail made the entire night feel elevated. We were really taken care of and my experience at Kyu ended with me in bed ready to sleep and a huge smile on my face. And left overs for tomorrow. I couldn't ask for anything more! read more

Kyu in Wynwood is a great spot for Asian fusion cuisine. I've been wanting to try this place for ages and I'm so happy I finally got to celebrate a milestone with my boyfriend. We had a little date night, late on a Friday evening. We made reservations so the wait wasn't long at all when we arrived. This is in the heart of Wynwood so parking can get a little hectic but we lucked out and found a great spot just a short walk away. When we walked in, we were seated right away. Our server, Andrew, was great and super attentive. We were constantly checked on and the food came out super fast. After perusing the menu, we decided to get all of my partner's favorites as he's been here many times before and has his musts when coming here. We got the roasted cauliflower, Thai rice stone pot with king crab, and the Korean Fried Chicken (but we got the bao buns for this visit). The cauliflower came out first and was probably the best cauliflower dish I've ever had. It was a big piece of cauliflower in a bed of sauce that gave the right amount of kick. I'm not usually a fan of goat cheese but it paired so perfectly with the sauce. The KFC bao buns were my favorite with the right amount of sauce and some veggies that went so well with it. The bao bun was also so soft and cooked so well. This might be the best bao bun I've ever had. As for the stone pot, it was delicious as well. It was a show with table-side service to mix it. The rice itself gives more of the porridge/risotto consistency since it had a lot of liquid in it but the rice soaks it up with the heat of the pot. This I found tasted even better as leftovers the next day. I think I'm not much of a fan of king crab so I might try one of the other proteins next time. For drinks, we opted out of alcohol for the night and just ended up getting the matcha shake. It was pretty good and gave pina colada vibes but with matcha. Of course, we had to end the night with dessert which we got their iconic coconut cake to go. SO GOOD... and I'm not even much of a coconut girl. The inside of the restaurant was super cute and chic. Beautiful and such a great setting for the perfect date night. Overall, a wonderful experience. Can't wait to come back again to try more things off the menu. read more

I have been to KYU before they closed about 2 years ago for remodeling and now after the reopening, and nothing has changed with them. Curated menu, on point quality and top notch service which is the perfect recipe for a good experience. In this occasion, I started with their roasted cauliflower; the beef tartare, pork gyoza and a hamachi crudo. The cauliflower and the hamachi were my favorite out of the 4 starters. The cauliflower was perfectly roasted and the goat cheese bed was the perfect pairing, I kept coming back for more. The hamachi was fresh as it could be, in a nice acidity sauce. This is the kind of dish you don't feel guilty while eating in terms of calorie count, and want to eat as munch as you want or your wallet allows :) The pork gyoza was delicious too, I loved the smoky flavors coming from the pork. Really well done. The beef tartare was great, my only recommendation is to grind the meat a bit more, I think the pieces were on the thick side. Also, I would serve it with some sort of crispy bread on the side; that would make a 5 out 5 beef tartare. For the entrée I had their short ribs with the sweet potatoes. The ribs are big enough for 2 people and I would say up to 3 if you are ordering other dishes as we did. It's perfectly cooked with a nice charred coat. The sauces they serve it with, perfectly complement the meat, well done. The sweet potatoes balance out the ribs. They were sweet and buttery. I would eat them by themselves at any time. So good! Lastly, the dessert is the kind of dessert I like, where the levels of sugar are on the low side. The coconut flavors from the cake and the ice cream as well as the toasted coconut flakes, it was so yummy. Love it! All in all, this was the perfect dinner. I can't wait for my next time, I want to try their duck breast. read more

Kyu - Grilled Cauliflower - Asian Fusion Near Me - Miami, Florida

See all

KYU has been one of my absolute favorite restaurants in Miami since the day it opened, and once again it proved why. Every time I come here, the experience gets even better -- and today was no exception. We started with the bok choy and the famous grilled cauliflower -- hands down the best cauliflower I've ever had anywhere. The short rib was cooked to absolute perfection, tender and flavorful at just the right temperature. The rice pot with crab meat was another standout: crunchy, sticky, and absolutely delicious. Dessert is always the highlight for me here, and the coconut cake has been my longtime favorite. But this time, it was tied with the cinnamon roll (a special courtesy from the restaurant) -- warm, gooey, and unforgettable. The ambiance was everything I love about Wynwood: cool, fun, and full of great energy. KYU doesn't just deliver on food, it delivers on the whole experience. For me, KYU isn't just one of the best restaurants in Wynwood -- it's one of the best in all of Miami. read more

Kyu - HH Menu 1/2026 - Asian Fusion Near Me - Miami, Florida

1000/100 attention to detail in every aspect. From silverware to cleanliness to upscale dining but with an authentic vibe. The flavors were on point. The seasoning was perfection. The portion to price formula made me feel seen. We ordered the two different sake bombs (lemon ginger/pineapple yuzu) delicious, the short ribs were tender to perfection, the filet was pre cut which surprisingly made me see why pre cut was a thing (stunning flavors). Our waitress Christina was a doll. Very personable which was comforting! Would recommend 100%. We will be coming back! read more

Used to be my fav restaurant, the menu and drinks are perfect. The vibe is easy but it's crowded and no tables available.

Pretty good selection from the menu. I like the design of it. Service was also on point but overall the food didn't blow my mind, maybe my expectations were too high. read more

A nice vibe in Wynwood. It's pretty ducked off if you don't know what you're looking for. The patio is small but cute and the interior is very intimate with a view of the sushi bar. We came during Happy Hour, and it was fairly empty so we sat at the bar. They have a great collection of Japanese whiskeys but my friends ordered happy hour cocktails with Tito's while I ordered a sake bomb (I don't drink beer but the beer was pretty light so I was able to actually taste the saki). I started with the Hamachi Crispy Rice then the Korean fried chicken. The crispy rice was a little too crispy and the hamachi was way too much but the taste itself was delicious. The Korean fried chicken was great as well but I think I was expecting something different (it was just fried chicken placed on top of a type of hot sauce). I probably should've ordered something a little more out of the norm to get a real feel but overall I was happy with it. I love the vibe and the service was cool so it's on my list of places to visit when I'm in Wynwood. Plus, who doesn't love a happy hour! read more

Wow. I was in Miami for a week for a work trip and we dined here for dinner our last night in town. It's an Asian fusion type restaurant with a BBQ flare. They are also known for their wood fired cooking and I can see why. We ordered the cauliflower appetizer, Chilean Sea Bass, Brisket and Japanese sweet potato as a side. Everything was delicious. Like, put a morsel in my mouth and I gasped because of how delectable everything tasted. The sea bass was super tender and cooked perfectly with a nice flavor with a tinge of sweetness to it. It was served with a shredded carrot and basil (I think) salad that paired well together. The brisket has got to be the most tender brisket I have ever tried. It's served with lettuce leaves, pickles and dipping sauces but I only tried the meat and that was fantastic on its own. And the sweet potato, let me tell you about them sweet potatoes. My gosh, it was so good! Some caramelization which added to the flavor. We had to try dessert so opted for the S'mores cake which was divine. Service was attentive and efficient, he told us they are opening a location in Los Angeles later this year and I cannot wait!! Great way to end the work week. read more

Came for the happy hour, there's no reservations for it, it's first come first serve at the bar or on the patio outdoor. Choose the bar because patio is outdoor at the entrance and it's not a good spot by the road. Bar space is a bit tight so make sure to arrive early. Happy hour selection is great and bartenders are good, I recommend the short rib buns and the hamachi. read more

When Kyu first opened, it quickly became one of my favorite restaurants in Miami. I used to come at least once a week, and it was always an amazing experience. Today, after a while without coming -- since I now live further north -- I decided to return on a special date with my wife, to relive what used to be one of my favorite spots. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a true disappointment. The menu has changed a lot, many of the dishes I loved are gone, and the ones that remained were not as good as before. The cauliflower, for example, was charred only on one side, showing lack of care, and tasted bland. The orange burrata had very little orange. And the bread, which used to be burned directly over the gas flame -- giving it that smoky flavor and crispy char -- was now just toasted, lacking the same taste and texture. The fried rice is still spectacular, but even that was let down by the service. The staff member who was supposed to finish it at the table did it carelessly, almost serving before letting it form the crust, and when I asked her to wait, she just dropped the pan and walked away without a smile or courtesy. Our waiter was also very slow, and the dishes took a long time to arrive. To make things worse, the restaurant was almost empty on a Friday at lunchtime. Years ago, it was always packed, often hard to get a table. That alone shows it's not just me who feels disappointed -- clearly, many other customers have stopped coming too. It's sad to see how a restaurant that once felt so special has lost its spark. read more

Kyu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Miami, Florida

KYU is already one of my favorite restaurants to go to in Wynwood for dinner, but this was my first time going for brunch and they did not disappoint! The first touch point which was the check-in desk was a very smooth process. Luckily by the time we got there, it wasn't too packed because of the weather and we were seated pretty quickly. As we were about to be taken to our table, Kimyiah told us we needed to try the French toast. First off, I want to show love to our amazing server Serena. She was very sweet, friendly and gave great recommendations. She also made sure to manage our expectations by letting us know everything comes out as they're ready and not all at once which was great perfectly fine with us. For brunch, they have some classic jams playing at a good level to where you can still have good conversation with fairly dim lighting. After you're seated, they start you off with caramelized popcorn which was great. I almost ate the whole bowl by myself. Definitely the perfect starter that I didn't know I needed. We then proceeded to order the house cured bacon, steak & eggs and the banana bourbon French toast. I'll keep it short and sweet and say that everything on the table was a 10/10 made to perfection. KYU will definitely be seeing me again for brunch sooner than later. read more

Kyu is back, and shall I say just as good as ever! I stopped by for drinks on Friday and sat at the bar with two girlfriends. Our bartender Dan was super friendly and helped us decide our choices for the afternoon. I started with the she so spicy which was great. I also tried the pink puppy which is their version of a lychee martini. Of course, I also had to try a dirty martini. My friends got the Godzilla water and tried a naked and famous as well. Clearly, we came more for drinks than food but the cocktails were perfectly balanced and wonderful. One cannot come to Kyu without ordering the crispy tuna rice and cauliflower, so we also snacked on those. I am so happy Kyu returned and will be back for some tasty drinks and the infamous coconut cake. read more

- Happy hour 5-7pm at the bar or outside seating - I loved the hamachi crudo, it's so refreshing and tastes great - The short rib bao was also amazing - I wasn't a fan of the tuna crispy rice.

Upscale. Hella chic inside. Great for a first date you want to impress. The drinks are great and the bartenders are good....but the food leaves a little to be desired. I love the flavor pairings, a modern take on Asian-inspired barbecue. The *Japanese sweet potato looks delicious, but will leave you wanting more for the price you pay - it's all about the butter, so be ready. The *hamachi crispy rice & the *bok choy were my favorite items, highly recommend. The *soft shell crab bao buns were perfectly cooked, but could have used a little sweetness & just dash more flavor (and heat) to bring the flavor of that crab out. The *fried rice is a bit misleading IF ordering vegan/vegetarian. I'd recommend this only for carnivores... the flavor is evident, as the presentation is the star - they finish cooking right in front of you in a hot pot, but there were literally no veggies, and if ordered without egg (vegan friends), it's literally just rice and sauce. The brisket is nicely cooked, but literally just a slab of meat in front of you with an array of dipping sauces & Bibb lettuce. If you like gin, I highly recommend "Smelt of Elderberries". This drink is damn delicious and I'll have it again and again. read more

Came for lunch on Saturday, 10/12/24. We didn't have a reservation but the restaurant was empty and we were seated immediately. We ordered the KYU Classic lunch for $75 per person. It came with 7 dishes: *krunchy kale with nam prik and togarashi *roasted cauliflower with goat cheese and a shishito-herb vinaigrette *tuna crispy rice with smoked chilli *Korean fried chicken with chilli butter and braised spinach *Japanese sweet potato with buttered black sugar and parmesan cheese *pork belly bao buns with chiptole aioli and yuzu pickles *dark chocolate smores cake with banana bourbon ice cream. I really enjoyed the krunchy kale, the Japanese sweet potato and the dessert! The food in general was a bit salty, especially the kale and the fried chicken. Jah was friendly and attentive. Valet parking was $25. read more

I loved it here! From the outside it looks amazing.. just a gorgeous outside and ambiance.. you walk in and the lighting is perfect, not too bright, with a gorgeous bar as soon as you walk in. The space is clean, sexy, modern, and just all in all great energy and vibes. Our waiter (Juan?) was incredible. Perfectly described every item, answered all of the questions that we had, was attentive, easy to talk to, and kind. We did not order the roasted cauliflower, but he sent it out for us and omg, it was SO GOOD. Amazing, light, colorful flavors with some light cream and cheese in the middle and a lovely, slightly warm and spicy green sauce. We also ordered the king crab crispy rice.. omg. The flavors were bold, clean, delicious, pronounced, and the crispy rice added an amazing texture to the dish. We also got the fried chicken... it was lovely, crispy, fresh, and almost light (if fried chicken can be light). We also got the beef rib and oh my goodness.. the sauces that came with it, the pickled veggies.. the meat had a crust on it and just great flavor and was moist and tender. Finally, we ended with the coconut cake.. I would definitely have that again. Somewhat dense, yet not too dense, with multiple layers of a light white cake with a subtle flavor of coconut and some lovely coconut buttercream frosting... I would take that again and again. We also got the chai cinnamon roll which was absolute perfection. Warm, inviting, soft, chewy, cinnamon-y.. it was everything I could have ever dreamed of. All in all, amazing experience, even better service and even better food! read more

We haven't been back to this gem in a couple of years but I'm so glad we retuned. It's a small and cozy restaurant but just know when they get packed it is very loud. If you are looking for intimate this might not be that vibe. We went for my birthday and brought our 9 year old twins with us. Side note, this is probably not the best option for younger kids if you are expecting kid friendly options. It is very limited. Let's start by saying on a Sunday at 3:30 we were quickly seated with no wait! There is still breakfast available until 4 if you are going for that which looks pretty good but we didn't order off it. We were there for the regular menu and it did not disappoint! We received drinks quickly and our server was quick and attentive and great at explaining the menu and the details about any dish. We ordered the cauliflower which is my absolute favorite dish here! It's a bit spicy which is great for me. But wasn't for the rest of my group. We ordered the crispy tuna rice which has 4 large pieces that can be cut in half or added to as needed. We ordered their famous fried chicken which is also spicy unless you order the sauce on the side. It is tender and juicy and perfectly crispy, but again not a large portion unless you add to that. We had the filet minion which is tender and full of flavor. The shishito peppers with salt could have used lime to flavor. And lastly the fried rice. The fried rice is good, however my most of my group didn't care for it. It is very sweet and full of mint. Know that going in if you are going to order this one. The filet was too rare for the kids however our server had recommended this temperature knowing kids can be picky and she brought us a new one quickly and without charge instead of taking it back to reheat which was awesome! I tried to order a side of plain rice and was told that it is prepared in a specific way and would take about 20 mins to receive! Huh? Some things to consider when going here are that for the price I do not find the amount of food to be worth it. I would not say that you leave here full unless you really up the quantity of your order which is unfortunate because you will already be paying allot. Also, they do not offer many options for picky eaters especially children which is a bummer. We like to expose ours to varieties when we can and if they try something they don't like at least they tried it! But there weren't other options and they were starving! Our twins ate steak, a little bit of chicken and not even white rice was an option. *Luckily there is a pizza spot across the street so we scored there for them. The service was great and food and drinks are quick to arrive which is appreciated. Overall I like KYU and I would go back, however I'll keep this one on the occasionally list. read more

Ahh, closed for some time -- I've been eagerly waiting for one of my favorite restaurants in Miami to reopen. I mean, I even flew to NYC and booked a resy there because I had missed it too much. All in all, this place gets it. They truly understand combining different flavors, cuisines, and styles of food so perfectly. Everything I tried was quite spectacular! We ordered the following: - Burrata - Steak tartare - Hamachi crudo - Beef short rib - Cauliflower - Hot pot rice with king crab - Duck breast - Fried chicken - 2 desserts: the donuts and smores cake. While everything was delicious I do have some feedback to say... portions are not as big as before and the price did go up in price. I do understand inflation has hit us all but the short rib and the cauliflower were so much smaller than portions before. The steak tartare and burrata used to be SO incredibly unique and I just didn't feel that in this updated menu. Maybe it's a personal preference though so I'll leave it at that. Lastly, the service... while I have ALWAYS loved KYU's service, and have raved about how 5 star it was, this last time it really wasn't it. I think I got my water filled up once, even after I asked 3/4 times. Table wasn't cleaned up once, the food was just being thrown on our table without any explanaitions, our drinks took so long and my friend dropped his chopsticks and asked for new ones and literally never got them. I get it, the place was PACKED. Which is why I won't even blame the server. But on a Friday night, I think they were extremely understaffed. The tab came out to around $600, which I would've happily paid if I would've received a 5 star service accompanied by their iconic food. read more

We came to KYU Miami tonight to bring some friends visiting from out of town. This has always been one of our go-to spots we've been here many times for both personal nights out and work dinners. The food is consistently excellent, the menu is well-rounded, and the drinks are fantastic. It's usually an easy recommendation and always a hit. And that's exactly why this review unfortunately takes a very different turn. Dining out is about the entire experience. A restaurant delivers that experience through hundreds of small touch points, each one either building hospitality or breaking it. Tonight, one of those touch points was so mishandled that it overshadowed everything else and guaranteed we will not return not to this location, and not to New York either. This happened at the end of the meal, which makes it even more disappointing. Our server dropped the check and kindly said, "No rush, take your time," as we were finishing our drinks and conversation. Not even two minutes later, a male staff member I genuinely hope he wasn't a manager came over and told us we had to leave because they needed the table. He cited a two-hour dining limit. At no point not during booking, not at check-in, not when we were seated did anyone mention this policy. Not once. When we expressed that, he casually responded, "That's disappointing, they should've told you." That alone showed an alarming lack of understanding of what hospitality actually is. KYU has clearly invested time, money, and effort into creating a great environment and culinary experience. And yet, it only takes one person with no sense of hospitality to damage that reputation. After some back and forth, he asked, "What can I do to make it right?" The truth is, you can't "fix" the moment after you've mishandled it especially when the mishandling shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how to treat guests. The experience was already ruined. My hope is that management reads this and has a serious conversation about the standards being upheld or in this case, not upheld by certain team members. As for us, we will not be returning. And hopefully this review prevents others from having their evening ruined the way ours was. read more

Kyu has been raved about on social media with Miami Spice and I had to go to see what the fuss was about. The dining experience definitely met my expectations. For appetizers, I tried the tuna takaki and roasted cauliflower. The tuna takaki was so delicious as the tuna melts in your mouth and it went very well with the sauce. At first, I did not have much expectations for the roasted cauliflower but after the bartender recommended it so much, I had to try. It is definitely not the average roasted cauliflower, as the vinaigrette took it to another level. I also ordered the short rib bao bun from the happy hour menu and it was so tasty. For an entree, I tried the Korean fried chicken and Chilean sea bass. The fried chicken was delicious and the sea bass was to die for. Once again, the fish melts in your mouth and it paired very well with the white miso. For dessert, I tried the dark chocolate smores and moms coconut cake. They're both very good and it paired well with the ice cream that it came but my favorite was the smores. I'm not a chocolate lover, but the roasted marshmallow on top of the chocolate cake and the banana ice cream paired perfectly. To drink, I tried the pink puppy and it was delicious. The service was amazing. They kept refilling our water, removing the dirty dishes and cleaning the area without asking and they did not steered me wrong with the suggestions they provided. The restaurant is nicely decorated with the open kitchen concept, which I love. Their bathrooms are also very clean. The restaurant is definitely not over hyped on social media and I would return to try more items from the menu. read more

After reopening, it became almost impossible to get a reservation at Kyu, especially on the weekends. The place is always buzzing and noisy with a bar-like vibe.    Let's jump to the food:   What is mandatory for trying is the Korean Fried Chicken, which is their signature dish. You get 4 big chunks of tender meat with the crispiest outside. What makes it special is the chili butter sauce that will cause an obsession. This dish is a must, and I don't even like fried chicken! 5/5   Another famous Kyu dish is a whole Roasted cauliflower. The flavor profile is perfect, and the sauce is amazing again. But one thing that is a bit disappointing is that the cauliflower is barely warm, and the hotness is what you expect from a "grilled" thing. 4/5   Baby back ribs are a very good price-value ratio option. You get plenty of glazed meat that easily falls off the bone. 4.5/5   Pastrami Steamed Buns come in a quantity of 4 with some sauces, pickled vegetables, and not that big pieces of meat that resemble thick-cut bacon. If you come with a group of friends, it's a good thing to try, but it wouldn't be my first choice. 3.5/5   Hamachi Crispy Rice was rather a letdown for me because of the rice that sticks to your teeth and basically tasteless fish, but the wasabi sauce was a saving pop of flavor. 3/5   Braised Mushrooms. Let's say I expected an absolutely different dish. I thought those would be like big grilled mushrooms on a sauce pillow, and I got a tiny bowl of glazed pieces. They tasted pretty nice, but the price was too high for a "side." 3/5   The dessert, Mom's Coconut Cake. It is a masterpiece! No wonder this is the reason why many people return to Kyu! The soft vanilla sponge cake layers soaked with a syrup alternate with natural coconut cream cheese. It comes with a side of toasted coconut shreds that add texture and refreshing coconut ice cream. 5/5!   The service:  I really feel this area requires improvement... Both times we went to Kyu, we literally had to fight for a waiter's attention! The first time our waitress was talking to her friend (another client) at the bar for AT LEAST 20 minutes!!! We asked other waiters to help because we couldn't get our check. read more

I finally popped my KYU cherry! I came here for the re-grand opening because my friend was on a waitlist and a reservation became available the day before. I was so excited because they are booked out for a few weeks. It is an intimate space with sultry vibes. The decor is simple yet chic and the ambiance is giving cozy. They do have indoor and outdoor seating but for this one, I would recommend indoor if possible. The vibe is different. Once we were seated my friend immediately ordered the "Krunchy Kale" and I honestly felt like it was sent from the heavens. It's a huge serving and then they spray it with this aromatic mist that has fish oil, ponzu, lime and the kale itself has some kind of seasoning. Just order it and thank me later. Holy moly. We then ordered a smorgasbord of items off the menu because it is served "family style". Staples like the Korean fried chicken is a must because it is seasoned well and has a nice crunch. Fair warning, it has a kick so if you're sensitive to anything spicy this may not be the best choice for you. The cauliflower was delicious but I'm not a huge fan of goat cheese so I ate around it. The gyoza was a 10/10 but I needed like 5 more lol. That sauce is everything. Speaking of sauce, this restaurant knows what they are doing with their sauces. Everything dish came out with a perfectly made sauce that just made my taste buds perk right up. We also ordered cocktails and I highly recommend the SHE-SO SPICY that is spicy but still refreshing because it's made with patron blanco, cucumber, mint, and Thai chili to name a few. Of course there is always room for dessert so we tried the coconut cake and it is a light and airy dessert. Friendly reminder: This is in the heart of Wynwood so parking can be difficult to find. Valet is around 30 dollars so if you're in a bind and can't find parking I would recommend that or just utilize a ride share app. Either way, I hope your experience is as great as mine. read more

Not sure why it has taken me so long to go here but holy smokes this place is sooooo amazing! The server Dianna was a literal angel and gave us the exact recommendations we needed! We shared plates between two of us and had the French toast, crispy rice, and kale eggs Benedict for brunch. Everything was amazing and packed of flavor. The French toast left me in a ratatouille moment giving me flashbacks to my childhood. Just complete shock on how good this place is. I will say crispy rice is usually my favorite and it wasn't here which was surprising but besides the rice being a little less crispy than my liking the overall experience and flavors left no room to complain. I even wanted a passion fruit cocktail and Dianna made us one not on the menu that was so good I had to have a second round after my food just to solely enjoy the flavors of the drink. It's an intimate restaurant but I would definitely go back solo and sit at the bar too. Plus the music was just up my alley and not too loud so it made for a great atmosphere. I will be back! read more

Kyu has such a cool, lively vibe. The cocktails are unique and the small plates are packed with flavor. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality makes it worth it. read more

We were new to this restaurant. Heard about it from another visitor. We really enjoyed the experience. The food was delicious. Felt like we tried a lot of different things. We got the sea bass, the sweet potato, the broccolini, the Korean chicken , the sticky rise with duck and the short ribs. All were wonderful. Diana was our server and she was great. She knew we were first timers and explained that most people share their dishes but they don't have too. She was great at her job, filled our water for us, checked back too. The broccolini was the best I ever had. I would like to have that recipe. The short ribs came with different sauces and lettuce so you could make lettuce wraps. The Resturant had a lot of style, looked great. The one little complaint would be the tables were too close together. Not a good restaurant for a romantic , intimate dinner. But the food made up for the close seating read more
