Being new to the area, I love the experience of trying new places each time I go out. I could not…read morefollow that rule with Kuffo though...this restaurant is simply too good to not return again and again. The restaurant is named after the owner's grandma. How can anybody not appreciate a guy that loves his grandma? But there is more to Fernando than just that. He actually sums it up on his website when he writes, "cooking is my passion my real joy comes from making my guests happy." Having been there a few times now, I have grown certain that these are not just words. This sentiment comes from the heart and is evident in not just the amazing food, the attentive service, and the beautiful decor but also in the personal attention he shows every customer. It is not just business to him, it is personal. The food here is spectacular. So far I have tried a bento box which included miso soup, chicken padthai, and sashimi. The combination of flavors, the freshness of the fish, and the presentation were outstanding. I believe the dashi base for the soup must be made from scratch because the soup is so flavorful but, if not, I must find out where he gets it. The fish is nicely portioned and of a high quality. The padthai is not overly sweet like at so many restaurants which allows you to enjoy the perfect balance of savory ingredients including the perfectly cooked noodles. The portion is generous...enough to take some home. I have also had the Mongolian Chicken and the Ginger Glazed Salmon. Each of these were excellent, again sharing that perfect balance of flavors. I would call each of these dishes memorable. The only appetizer I have tried is the gyoza. It was outstanding. I like them fried but not oily, crispy on one side, with moist and not over-seasoned filling. These surpassed my expectations. The word perfect comes to mind. The only reason I have not tried any other appetizers is because the main courses are so generous. For the same reason I have yet to try dessert. I have also not tried any of the side dishes. Strangely, I have ordered sweet plantains twice, but for some reason, they were not served to me either time so I cannot comment on them. The experience was so good that is strange omission did not distract from the experience of the meal. The services is simply outstanding, the food is great and the vibe of the restaurant just creates a wonderful dynamic experience. But again what puts it over the top is the personal intention of the owner who treats us like we are his most valuable customer ever every time we walk in. And we will walk in. Often. kuffo is that good!

The tender, flavorful salmon was cooked to perfection, and the teriyaki sauce was a delectable complement. Additionally, the Lomo Saltado was equally delicious; its savory and zesty flavors made it a must-try. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful Asian culinary journey. Not only was the food outstanding at Kuffo, but the service was also exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the dining experience even more enjoyable.

I'm not surprised because the food was great at Paya as well, but this is something different and elevated. We went with the scallop crudo, which was a burst of flavors. I loved it! The duck bao buns were spectacular-- juicy and cooked to perfection. We also ordered the pork ribs, which were really good, but I think they can be slow-cooked a little more for that fall-off-the-bone effect, but I'm no chef, lol . Lastly, that Indonesian rice was something new for me, and it was really good! Shout out to Fernando; he recommended every single dish and did a great job.

The restaurant opens at 4:00 p.m., so there are no lunch specials. We arrived just a few minutes after opening and had our pick of seating. The dining room is on the smaller side, and given its high ratings, I'd recommend arriving early. Not long after we were seated, the tables started filling up quickly. Our server was friendly, attentive, and offered several excellent personal recommendations. To start, we ordered the vegetable spring rolls, which were delicious and came with five generously sized rolls. For my entrée, I chose the chicken Pad Thai. When I asked about adding spice, our server suggested ordering it on the side, which turned out to be the perfect recommendation. The Pad Thai arrived promptly and was absolutely delicious, and being able to adjust the spice level to my liking made the dish even better. My partner ordered the red curry, which arrived piping hot and was thoroughly enjoyed. Before leaving, we ordered the crab fried rice to go, and it was packed with noticeable chunks of crab. One thing worth mentioning is that the portions are very generous--large enough to share in many cases. Other than the somewhat challenging parking situation, I have no complaints. The food, service, and overall experience were excellent, and I look forward to returning whenever I'm back in the area.
