Kyu, Miami

KYU Miami is one of the best restaurants I’ve had the pleasures of dining at. The wait time was a little long but not too bad , especially during Art Basel week. They scaled the menu down for this event, but I was still so satisfied. The food is very rich and fresh and the quality is top-tier this restaurant is one of my top 3 places when visiting. The braised beef ribs, the avocado salad, the stone pot fried rice with king crab I cannot forget the Korean fried chicken. Everything was delicious the service was excellent & our waitress was very informative. I will certainly visit again and I highly recommend this restaurant. You’ll love it. 2023 Tried to visit location and it sadden me to know this location is no longer open for service. 😩😭

Looking forward to trying this place in NYC as well that is how much I loved the food. The food is really good. Better to go with a larger group since it's family style and there are a number of items to try. Never been a fan of beef tartar but their rendition of it is downright delicious. If you have never tried it definitely give this a shot. In addition the short rib and the branzino fish was delicious.

Some of the best food we had in Miami was from KYU. I cannot stress enough how amazing the Wagyu brisket is. While on the pricier side, this place is a must. Come with friends or family as this is the type of place you will want to order plates for the table and share them. Service was top notch! Our waiter informed us he was in training (unfortunately I forgot his name) but he was wonderful!

We had the lunch chef tasting menu and every dish we tried was delicious. They served a combination of vegetables, chicken, seafood, beef ribs and finally desert. My favorite was the crispy kale chips and the soft shell crab buns. That being said all the food was to perfection. This was my second time and both visits receive high ratings on the food. It was family style and potions were perfect for 3 of us. I noted (from a previous visit) that the portion size on almost all dishes was about the same for a party of 2. So if you’re a big eater you get a little more value with a party of 2 vs 3. The coconut cake slice was huge, but I could have used one more scoop of ice cream considering it was for a party of more than 2. Overall food was delicious and a ‘must try’ for all.

Our experience was amazing! We had our server Dan ( Kudos to him ☀️Attentive, kind and always going the extra mile for us!) to suggest and recommended great dishes for our dinner, we were celebrating my niece birthday and boy!, it was a great time, the appetizers from the tuna 🍣 crispy and corn 🌽, then main courses like the short rib, fried chicken, ribs and snapper just delicious, definitely will be back for the rest of the menu, and desserts the coconut cake and chocolate s’mores cake 🍰

We visited Kyu to celebrate a birthday and had one of the best meals I’ve had in Miami. Well worth the effort to book in advance. The cocktails were fun and tasty and the food was out of this world. The only difficulty we had was deciding what to get. With the help of our server we opted for pork belly buns, roasted cauliflower (a must), the duck burnt ends (heavenly) and we were persuaded to try the bone marrow, a first for both of us. Delicious! Highly recommended! And we somehow still found room for birthday cake-a wonderful not to be missed coconut cake. Then we rolled our way home!

Good food. Note to those who want the tasting menu: it is not a traditional tasting. Way too much food! We like tasting menus because we get to try a little bit of everything. Kyu’s tasting menu was never ending and we couldn’t enjoy everything that came out. And the alcohol pairing was not “paired” with each dish that came out. The drinks were brought out randomly during the dinner. Wish this was more organized and smaller portions.
