KYU – Asian Fusion
Pronounced 'Q', tucked behind Wynwood's murals, and built around a wood-fired grill. KYU cooks Asian flavours over live fire in a dark, high-energy room: Korean fried chicken in chili butter over braised spinach is the dish everyone orders, backed by smoked brisket with a sauce trio and lettuce cups, miso seabass with daikon herb salad, short rib bao buns, and a Thai rice pot in chili broth. The kitchen also does a serious vegetable, notably roasted cauliflower with goat cheese. TIME named it Florida's best restaurant a year after opening; it was a James Beard semifinalist for Best New Restaurant and is Michelin-recommended.
