KYU

Whether you come for lunch, happy hour, or dinner, you can expect this Wynwood hotspot to be buzzing with activity. KYU serves a broad menu of superbly executed pan-Asian, wood-fired cuisine, and you'll want to eat one of everything. A big slab of roasted cauliflower bathed in shishito-herb vinaigrette and goat cheese; a hot pot of Thai fried rice capped with an egg; kicked-up Korean fried chicken; and pillowy buns loaded with crispy soft-shell crab are among the must-order items suited for sharing. Order the chef's tasting menu if you can't decide what to sample.

Inspired by the global travels of the chefs and the discipline of Japanese wood-fired grilling known as yakiniku, KYU offers a rich exploration of interpretive Asian cooking. From their open kitchens, you will discover a world of expertly grilled umami-rich meats, smoke-roasted short ribs, innovative fish and beguiling vegetable preparations, Hamachi Crudo, and pork belly baos, and Thai “stone pot” fried rice, along with fabulous hand-crafted cocktails and stunning signature desserts. With award-winning restaurants in Miami, New York, and Mexico City, KYU’s unique brand is ready to expand to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and London. They welcome you with open arms. At KYU, chef Michael Lewis and general manager Steven Haigh bring a fresh concept to Wynwood with KYU. The wood-fired Asian grill features a diverse menu and focuses on professional yet relaxed service and a commitment to green practices.
