The Best Dishes Eater Las Vegas Ate This Month | Eater Vegas

"The smoked short rib—prepared with a 48-hour smoke and finished with black shichimi pepper—is presented on the bone with accoutrements meant for building bites on lettuce leaves with pickled onion and sauces; each mouthful delivers a balance of smoky and tangy flavors. Complementary highlights include a hamachi crudo studded with jalapeño and a Japanese sweet potato side glazed in buttered sugar and sprinkled with salty Parmesan, all served in a breezy, greenery-filled dining room." - Janna Karel

The Best Cakes in Las Vegas

"End your meal of hamachi crudo and Korean fried chicken with a thick wedge of Mom’s Coconut Cake. The cake itself is unexpectedly moist — super flavorful and dense enough to stand up to thick cream cheese frosting. Coconut flakes keep things a little crunchy. The slice is big enough to share — not that you’ll want to." - Janna Karel

When you walk into Kyu, the atmosphere immediately stands out—it’s absolutely beautiful! I was a little nervous beforehand because I had heard that some restaurants in this area aren’t very kid-friendly, but I was pleasantly surprised. Kyu is definitely welcoming for families. They even had plastic cups for kids, which was a lifesaver since I forgot my child’s sippy cup. The design is thoughtful and modern, with a stunning green garden wall in the back that adds such a peaceful touch to the space. The food was solid, flavorful, and well-prepared, but what really stole the show was the dessert—it was amazing! All in all, a wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend for families or anyone looking for a nice meal in a beautiful setting. Just shy of 5 stars for me, but still a spot worth visiting!

Solid choice for dinner. Service is great, food is overall good too. We got: Crispy pork guy: amazing, very good even though it’s small. Grilled octopus: I believe it was overdone, it tasted burnt so we had to return it unfortunately. Thai rice stone pot: our favorite from the night, 10/10 we really liked it and the portion is good for two. Japanese sweet potato: pretty delicious too, a bit too sweet maybe but good if you’re into sweets. Dark Chocolate S’mores Cake: amazing, pretty sweet and delicious, recommended. Service is amazing, our server was very kind and helped us through our choices. We were charged $11 for water which we didn’t know about, but it’s not a big deal. With $110 we got a pretty good meal for two, overall satisfied.

Absolutely amazing! The grilled octopus was next-level — perfectly charred and super tender, not chewy at all. The pickled veggies and greens added a fresh pop that tied the whole dish together. Beautiful presentation too — you can tell they care about the details. Flavor, vibe, and service were all on point. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend!

What a great, modern restaurant with Asian fusion dishes and interesting cocktails. We opted for pork bao buns, tuna tataki, fried chicken and grilled broccoli. Everything was delicious! The portion of chicken was huge and tasted great. I particularly loved the broccoli’s char. The service was attentive and accommodating. It’s was definitely the best meal we had in Las Vegas.

Kyu is always amazing and their menu is always changing with new unique and flavorful dishes. We started with Hamachi Crudo, Avocado salad and Bone Marrow. All 3 were delicious. The hamachi crudo was Thai coconut inspired which was unique and amazing. The avocado salad was recommended and was light, refreshing and flavorful. Bone marrow was amazing. We ordered Sea Bass, Wagyu Rib Cap, Duck Breast burnt ends and the Japanese sweet potato. All these dishes were top notch! All cooked perfectly to the requested temperature. The sweet potato was unique and a must try. I don’t usually like sweet potatoes but loved this one. I can’t wait to come back again and again!

Great service. The server walked me through their best items and what made the most sense for my interests. Had the Hamachi crudo and short rib. Both were amazing but I need to dive into the short rib. It was one of the best short ribs I've ever had. Great flavour, perfect moisture, and had a bit of an Asian flare to it. The table next to me

What a wonderful experience! Everything was so delicious. 100% recommend the tuna crispy rice, pork gyoza, veggie stone pot fried rice, and beef short rib. The flavors are so layered and presentation is 10/10. Don’t even get me started on our server James!! He was so sweet and attentive, such a splendid experience.

What I can say is that second chances can really set a different experience. Went on a busy night with conventioneers everywhere. Only took a few moments to get seated. Scott walked us through the menu and had great suggestions. Never missed a beat and was always around if we needed anything. Must try that we didn’t last time was any of the meats. The lamb was out of this world delicious and the rib cap was melt in your mouth tender. But that sweet potato was the perfect side dish. I’d go back just for that. Dishes came out in each course with perfect timing. Perfect night out. Sad there was no room for dessert.

I had a wonderful time at the bar, Edgar was amazing! He was so friendly and attentive. He recommended the pink puppy cocktail, it was so delicious and I highly recommend! I also enjoyed the good morning Vietnam cocktail! The manager, Eric even stopped by to see how I was doing. Top notch service! This is such a great spot at Fontainebleau, you must go!

TLDR: Come here for upscale Asian-inspired dinner classics in a stunning modern setting that would make the nicest bars in NY and LA jealous. ------ FOOD: The Chilean sea bass came highly recommended by the waitress and she was absolutely right. It was the perfect savory, buttery fish fillet, similar to black cod. Came with delicious pickled, mixed herbs that cut through the richness of the fish beautifully. Paired it with a fantastic baby bok choy side topped with a healthy amount of chili crisp oil and garlic. It's the perfect side to share or to add some greens into your Vegas diet. ------ AMBIANCE / SERVICE: My waitress Pristina was the absolute best and was not only kind and attentive but also so fun and personable. Various people on the team checked in throughout the meal and I felt well take care of. The vibe is phenomenal. The restaurant is a stunning, dimly-lit, modern space and there's even a private room in case you want to host an event here. Only ding would be that my food took a very long time to come out even though there were very few dining at the time.

Every time I'm at the Fontainebleau Hotel, I be curious to try this Asian inspired restaurant based in Miami with another location in NYC. Unfortunately I did with 2 other friend of mine. The restaurant is a normal Vegas strip venue. Nice, modern, loud, open kitchen kinda of situation. I don't remember the name of our server but was the only positive note of our experience. Kyu management should wrap the menu and trash it. As the menu called your global chef and team should be ashamed to delivery such horrendous food. None of the dishes we order was decent. From the pork belly bao, to salty and fish sauce taste hamachi crudo, to plain and boring cauliflower, dry baby back ribs, mushy and tasteless Thai rice stone pot and that disgusting sriracha butter sauce under the fried chicken. If you wanna an Asian inspired restaurant make yourself a favor get a Uber and go to Sparrow & Wolf.

If we could give more stars for KYU, we would gladly do it. The food was AMAZING!!! I was feeling adventurous, so I tried the Stone Pot Thai Fried Rice...And OMFG! The flavors, aromas...everything was nothing short of culinary orgasmic! My partner had the brisket. I'm always skeptical of brisket because it tends to be tough to me. But this brisket was tender and seasoned to perfection! And she is harder to please than I am. And the Japanese sweet potato was the perfect complement. Kudos to our wonderful rock star server James! We've traveled to Indonesia, Europe, Australia the Caribbean, almost all 50 states...but this dinner experience was by far the best! KYU will be an absolute must each and every time we come back to Vegas!

Amazing experience. We just got back from Korea and had a night in Vegas. Great fusion spot to come and try out. 1 con I wasn't in love with the stir fry/thai pot dish. 10+ pros Great service, very attentive Friendly staff, others check I'm to make sure you're good The ribs (which is very rare for me) we're delicious and I devoured it, minus the ones I shared to not be stingy, lol The sweet potato sounds unappealing, but to my surprise was really good. Then dessert options looked tasty, but we kept it simple. You can be dressy or casual here in true Vegas fashion. It's near one of the many entrances to the Fountainbleau hotel. Thanks to our server for making our night enjoyable.

Definitely a beautiful restaurant in the FB. Right when you entered, you have a beautiful bar. Open kitchen on the right as you entered. Ambience is warm and beautiful. We were seated and can see the back of the bar. The draping made it just an amazing view. There were 6 of us. All colleagues in town for a conference. Wanted to enjoy a nice restaurant. Service from our main waiter was ok. He was sufficiently doing it but not great. Either we all spoke too softly or he cannot hear so at times, we had to raise our voice to repeat our order or our wants to him. Support staff was great. Food came out timely. Table and plates were cleaned off or taken away when needed. Food was ok. Although flavorful and presentation was great, no dish stood out. We had a variety of cocktails and again nothing stood out. So overall, an ok dinner by all of us.

We're locals specifically here for Restaurant Week and we had such a great experience. Kyu (pronounced like the letter Q) is located on the casino level of Fontainebleau. Right across from Yves Saint Laurent. Made a reservation for Saturday at 7pm and we were seated right away. I think most days reservations aren't needed but we made one just in case. For restaurant week, it's a three course meal for $80. Each course had multiple options to choose from. Between my hubby and I, we had a total of six items to try! We got the following: FIRST COURSE: -Hamachi Crudo (total of 6 pieces) -Tuna Crispy Rice (total of 4 pieces) Both items were delicious. We enjoyed the Hamachi Crudo more. The citrus gave it such a refreshing taste. SECOND COURSE: -Korean Fried Chicken -Thai Rice Stone Pot with duck confit It's bone-in chicken btw. But the flavoring of the chili butter and there's a side of braised spinach...mmmm mmm....the chili butter makes this dish. The duck thai rice's portion was HUGEEEE. It's seriously MORE than enough for two people with leftovers too! Solid choice. The waiter mixed a poached egg and there's cilantro too. Delicious all together. THIRD COURSE: -Dark Chocolate S'mores Cake with banana bourbon ice cream -The Kyu Cinnamon Roll The winner here is the dang banana bourbon ice cream! Whoooo mann....I'd just order that alone. But the s'mores cake was good too. The cinnamon roll was nothing to write home about. Definitely the weak spot of the night. Service was on point and staff was on their A-game all night. Food was brought out in a timely manner. Kyu is now on our list of top restaurants.

~Food/Drinks~ The Kyu Experience: This was recommended by the server if we were interested in trying a lot of items. All of their dishes are meant to be shared, but of course, you can order for yourself too. But after the meal, we realized that it would've been a better option to order things individually. The prices didn't really add up, and we would've saved some money by opting out of some things too. Food was amazing though! Apps: Krunchy Kale was really good, super crispy and that citrus sauce to dip was refreshing. Not really worth the price though but if you're splurging, give it a try. Tuna Crispy Rice came with two pieces and I think it's tailored to how many people are doing the experience. It's a generous amount of tuna and the rice is piping hot from being deep-fried. The Roasted Cauliflower is an entire head of cauliflower! The server will cut it up and you just have to mix it in with the goat cheese and vinaigrette sauce, which gives it a sharp and creamy flavor. Highly recommend! Entrees: For the Thai Rice Stone Pot, you can pay extra to upgrade to King Crab, which is what we did. This was so good! Leave the rice on the bottom alone so it can get crispy. Lots of crab meat and the runny egg yolk mixed into the rice gave it a creamy consistency. The lemongrass flavor is strong though but we didn't mind at all. The Beef Short Rib was unexpectedly just average. You get a couple of good slices of meat but I thought the majority was too dry. The Korean Fried Chicken was all dark meat and had this really amazing chili butter. Not sure how this was Korean though since the fried batter tasted more like American fried chicken. Maybe they used gochujang as the chili? Sides: If we were ordering individually, I would've opted out of the Japanese Sweet Potato. It's pretty good but it's a lot. A giant sweet potato that's been split open and tastes like it was cooked on a campfire. More sweet than savory too but it's so filling and we didn't even finish it. At the end, we also got a little tiramisu dessert, shaped like a bun. Very soft, delicate, and smooth. A good finish after all of the heavy dishes. ~Service~ Servers were great and friendly. They were attentive and refilled waters without asking and timed each course perfectly. While we didn't have any issues, I did overhear a table behind us getting angry and I thought the server handled the situation very well. ~Atmosphere~ The restaurant has a fancier vibe but not too fancy where they were enforcing a strict dress code. We dressed up just a bit, like collared shirts and long pants, for the occasion but there were people much more casual than us. Just don't show up in flip-flops and tank tops. It's kind of dim inside but at least the noise isn't too loud. We were able to talk to each other without leaning over the table and constantly repeating ourselves. ~Logistics~ The restaurant is located inside Fontainebleau. We made reservations just to be safe but the restaurant never fully filled up while we were eating dinner. ~Conclusion~ Recommend trying at least once! I'm glad I did the Kyu Experience because now I know what to order again and what to avoid. There's still a lot of other dishes on the menu that I'd like to try as well.

Food, service and atmosphere were excellent. I hope to dine here again, although prices are a bit on the high end for me, but probably not for the guests at Fountainbleau. I would have liked to see a sampler platter for the meat. We wanted to try the chicken and the brisket, but since the appetizers all sounded more interesting, we only got the brisket. I was most excited about the yuzu preserves on the burrata - it was a perfect blend of mild and sour, and the bread was grilled to perfection. Besides the burrata, the kale and sweet potato were the only thing we finished. The cauliflower itself was a bit bland, and the sauce mild. I would have liked to have it grilled a bit more or some garlic to give it more flavor. The Brisket was a bit dry... at $66 I would have expected it to be perfection. The rice bowl was tasty, although not that memorable. I think I was hoping for a drier fried rice or a more unique flavor. On my return I hope to get the chicken and Tiramisu. The drinks looked tasty, too - but I had my fill at the pool before our arrival.

This review is based on my visit on 2/22/25, which was my 3rd time at Kyu. I don't often repeat spots on the Strip because there are just so many places still on my list, but I have had a great time at Kyu every time I've been. My party of 3 slid up to the bar, which is a great place to sit, BTW. We had a view of the basketball games that were playing on their TV screens and the action at the bar, which for me is always entertaining. They had these amazing (and ginormous) animal-shaped vessels they were filling with a pink creamy-looking beverage. Looked like a fun time, but we weren't in the mood to heavily imbibe so passed. We were in the mood for some great food, and ordered a few entrees to share: - Korean fried chicken: I LOVE this dish. I think it was my second time having it. Everything about this dish hits - the fried skin on the chicken, the spicy and multi-dimensional sauce, the spinach and wedge of citrus to help cut the richness. Get it! - Beef short rib: The char and juicy succulence of this meat - wow. I enjoyed the pickled veggies and sauce selection too. The only thing I longed for when eating this was a bowl of rice. We didn't order any dessert this visit, but I can vouch for the fact that they are innovative and amazing. I'm not sure if they are still doing the bao trio, but if they are, this is an absolute MUST. (Hint: they are not really baos - they are just disguised to look like them.) Kyu is not only a vibe, it has real substance and turns out beautiful and memorable food. 10/10 recommend!

Great spot for a large party and we all had an awesome dinner here. We tried most things on the menu (8 hungry guys) and everything was solid; we didn't have 1 bad dish. Everyone had a different favorite and I was pretty impressed overall with the service, variety, etc. We spent about $100 per person and I thought this was a pretty reasonable price given the amount of food we ate.

This is one of the restaurants inside the Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel. I was able to get seated right away for a Thursday night diner without a reservation. To start off, the service and atmosphere were nice. The hosts and servers were very attentive and friendly. However, I personally just didn't find the food tasty and don't feel like it lives up to its price tag. I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken and the Thai Stone Pot with duck which are both signature dishes (as indicated on the menu). The Korean Fried Chicken was served with a sauce which tastes pretty similar to a spicy sriracha aioli. The sauce doesn't taste bad but it's just not enough to make up for the dryness and lack of the flavor of the chicken. The only thing I really like about this dish is the spinach served with the chicken. As for the Thai Stone Pot Rice, I wish that they would somehow mention on the menu or in person that it's very strong in ginger flavor. Because I'm not a fan of ginger, I struggled to finish the plate and had many leftovers. If you like Thai sweet chili sauce mixed with ginger then you might like this dish. Just be aware of that you don't get much protein and most of it would be rice. Overall, I'm feel neutral about Kyu but would not recommend the Korean Fried Chicken and Thai Stone Pot Rice.

Was going to another place but they pulled a bait and switch on restaurant week so we left and came here. Were very accommodating for a party of 7 on a Saturday night last minute walk in Started the night with an old fashioned and it was made perfectly Whole table got the restaurant week menu. I had the yellowtail app with the Thai rice bowl and cinnamon roll dessert I asked about ordering more food and the waiter kindly told me the bowl was very large and I should probably wait to see how it goes. Was impressed at the size of the bowl, most places offer smaller portions for Restaurants week. Not here, was a massive bowl of rice and egg and duck and veggies. Mixed table side and served in a smaller bowl. I couldn't finish it. Cinnamon roll was amazing. I'd go back just for that Service was excellent. Our waiter was very good, helpful and always there for another drink or whatever we needed Nice inside, lots of room with a u shaped bar in the center and tables all around. Funny how sometimes things just work out. Didn't have any desire to go there at all now I can't wait to go back!

Amazing top notch service! Hit or miss food Tuna crispy rice - modern take on a nigiri, super crispy rice, Chipotle mayo and Yuzu with tuna, I loved the yuzu which cut the fat and added a bright flavor. I just wish it wasn't minced tuna. Pork belly baos - unimpressive, Chipotle mayo again, bao bun was ripped (the skin layer for steaming), pork belly was not a tender as expected, would NOT recommend, Go to momofuku instead Beef short ribs - TENDER AND JUICY , different sauces and cucumber/ onion pickles and seasonings you can add to make your own custom lettuce wrap. The sauce and pickles were great. Unfortunately the meat to wrap ratio is out of control, you will probably order multiple in order to eat with for all the meat. Maybe we expected a vietnamese style to eat Service was frequent attentive and overall first class by everyone! Atmosphere was green, beautiful and modern Overall it's a cute date spot, but as the food is hit or missi probably wouldn't return

Came here with my adult kids because ky husband insisted we eat here. We ordered the Thai pot rice and the king crab, but the stars of the show were the appetizers. The hamachi crudo (so fresh!!), the octopus (my favorite) and the avocado salad (refreshing!!). Our servers Ray and Frances were amazing. So attentive and sweet- friendly and kind. They elevated the experience. Thank you Kyu- esp Ray and Frances!

This place is really beautiful inside and it's on the bottom floor of Fontainebleau. I didn't know they serve a different menu every since month so I was disappointed to not get something I had seen posted on Yelp. The Thai fried rice is on the sweeter side fyi. The service was good. I really recommend the sea bass!!!

A group of us visited for late lunch on the Strip and the fried chicken did not disappoint!! We were seated shortly upon arriving, super nice service, they were so friendly and patient. Not packed when we went, but was relatively lively and the music was upbeat. Chicken itself was juicy and not at all dry. Thankfully, it wasn't greasy and very crispy on the outside without very aggressively thick batter coating. Seasoning was perfect. Also loved the sauce that came with it which had a bit of a kick. Definitely recommend!

Husband and I had a great seat with a strip view. Our first time staying at the fountain blue so we wanted to experience the dining there. Everything was delicious and portions were pretty generous. Service was great and they offered to change plates before main entree which is always a plus! Table next to us ordered something with bone-marrow and the presentation seemed amazing. Overall, I'd recommend ordering a variety of dishes to SHARE and request a seat next to the windows for people watching! What we ordered: * Hamachi Crudo with coconut milk $28 * Tuna Crispy Rice $32 * Avocado Salad $29 * Duck Breast $48 * Beef Short Rib $88 (+$4 extra lettuce cups) * She-So-Spicy (drink) $22 * Godzilla Water (drink) $22

I'm so sorry I forgot our server's name but he was affable and efficient. The desserts looked really good but we didn't have room after eating all the delicious food so we asked to have just the ice cream sacred of what was on the menu and they were happy to provide it. My girl isn't a big fan of red meat and pork but she absolutely devoured the baby back ribs! I managed to get a taste without losing my finger and they were really delicious, tender, and succulent. Because of an experience she had in Korea she assumed she wouldn't like the sweet potato but I love sweet potato so I was getting it no matter what. That was beautifully done and very delicious and I thought I would have it all to myself but she started picking it off pretty quick too. If you like sweet potato like I do that one is an easy 9 out of 10. The tie stone pot was really delicious but unbelievably filling! Thought I was going to have to roll myself out of there, LOL. The king crab was delicious and they didn't skimp on it which added to the flavor and enjoyment. We would definitely go to this restaurant again.

The table next to me was also raving over the short rib. It is box office and you can't skip it.

My husband had a $100 dining credit that we needed to use up at Fontainebleau. What a mess trying to find a meal to use it as someone with Celiac disease. Not only are the menus not marked at most of the restaurants at any casino, but for the restaurant that does at Fontainebleau, Kyu, they only have gluten-free options marked for items that aren't main dishes. Do chefs and managers ever consider that if they're making a menu and they're marking it for special diets, some dishes in each course should be able to be ordered by someone who is utilizing those markers? Again, there were no main dishes that were gluten-free. The waiter told me he talked to the chef and I could order the $70 filet mignon with no seasonings and a dish of salt on the side "but that it wouldn't taste good like it's supposed to." Huh? The only dish with meat that was gluten-free was the tuna crispy rice appetizer and came with 4 pieces. I ordered that and 2 vegetable sides while my husband ordered fried chicken and bao for himself. My husband and I were seated in a back corner right next to the kitchen. My husband's Korean Fried chicken came out so overcooked, with the breading partially missing, that he took 1 bite and sent it back. It was obviously overcooked and should have never left the pass. The waiter kinda argued with him and said that it's supposed to look dark. It wasn't dark, it was overcooked. My husband's fried chicken and second, redone fried chicken both came out before anything I ordered came out. What we ordered: - GF Tuna Crispy Rice - $32 (appetizer) - GF Kimono Cucumber - $14 (side) - GF Japanese Sweet Potato - $18 (side) - 2 piece Pork Belly Bao - $16 (appetizer) - Korean Fried Chicken - $36 (main) - GF 2 piece Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu - $18 (dessert) - 1 Cafe Americano - $6 (drink) With tax, our bill came out to $151.73 before tip. Food comes out as it's ready so the Japanese sweet potato came out last after we had finished everything but before we got the dessert menu. The waiter had to check with the staff to make sure the tiramisu that was marked gluten-free was actually gluten-free. I'm still not sure what was in it although it tasted nice. Service was spotty. I often had an empty water glass until a busser kinda noticed we were neglected. Overall, I felt that this restaurant's service, quality and options weren't worth what they were charging.

Came here hoping for a great dining experience, and while the food and atmosphere were impressive, the service started off on a frustrating note. We were seated and left waiting over 15 minutes without any acknowledgment. No water, no greeting, nothing. It wasn't until my friend got up and went to the check-in desk again to understand the delay. Thankfully, Pristine eventually came over as our server, and she was fantastic...quick, attentive, and professional. Now, onto the food: the crispy pork guy was to die for. Perfectly cooked, well-portioned, and packed with flavor. The paired sauce was subtle yet flavorful, and elevated the dish. Every bite was a treat. The filet mignon was also The restaurant itself is undeniably gorgeous--elegant decor and a welcoming design. But what was not welcoming? My stay at Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel that this restaurant is located in. I had an absolutely traumatic experience as a guest at this hotel, where I was stranded in freezing weather for hours because staff refused to help me access my own room after my phone died. Despite providing digital proof of my identity, they escorted staying I was 'trespassing' despite already staying there for 3 days. And whats more disturbing is that Fontainebleau Las Vegas is a public casino. Their gaming floor, poolside gaming area (which I was in) and other amenities are open to any visitor. Their negligence and complete lack of empathy made it clear that they do not prioritize the safety or well-being of their guests...especially women who are alone. So I'd strongly warn anyone against staying at Fontainebleau or supporting its services inside. No amount of good food is worth dealing with a hotel that treats guests so poorly. Which is why this facility in this hotel gets this rating...by association.

Came here to eat while I was staying in the Fountainbleau. The restaurant is gorgeous inside and out. I sat at the bar, had crispy pork guy (fried pork belly ends), hamachi crudo (so fresh, wow) and avocado salad. The restaurant has an amazing Japanese Whiskey collection, amongst other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The service was also amazing - super quick and they were so nice. Sometimes you go into some place that's high-end like this and the servers aren't very nice or attentive. The prices are on the higher side- however I expected being located in a luxury hotel on the north end of the strip. I had an amazing time and the food was so on point.

Came here to eat while I stayed at Fountainbleau. This is a korean fusion restaurant. It restaurant is very beautiful. It can be loud because there is a bar right in the middle. You can sit and eat at the bar if you like to watch the game and eat and drink and mingle with others. I ordered the fried korean chicken and also the stone pot with king crab. It was the best hot stone rice I ever had. Probably because most hot sone rice pots don't come with king crab. The price point for 2 dishes is about $100. Roughly $50 for a dish. Not on the cheap side, but the food is very well prepared and it is a nice place to take a date. I made the mistake of not making a reservation thinking that it be less busy if I just walked up at 8:45pm. Wrong! there was still people coming in even at 9:00pm. If you come on a Thursday,Friday, Saturday make a reservation especially if you prefer to eat at dinner time. It can get really busy. I will be coming back!

Where do I start? The ambiance of Kyu is nothing short of fun and inviting. Our servers were super attentive and were really helpful to answer any questions that we had on the menu. Starting with the drinks, there were a lot of alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks to choose from. We opted for the Kyu experience, and if you decide to go for that option, just know that there's a lot of food involved! The courses were so delicious that I forgot to take photos after the kale and got distracted. But their Korean fried chicken was perfectly cooked with a nice crunch to it. If you're at the Fontaine Bleau, don't forget to stop by Kyu!

Ordered a classic Espresso Martini and the bartender served me up right. Offered me tequila or vodka and made a killer cocktail. Standard recipe, pre-pulled espresso. Absolutely solid. I also ordered their signature Espresso Martini, "Good Morning, Vietnam!" I remember it being better. This time it honestly tasted like sweetened watered down tequila. Not much character whatsoever. Needed more cold brew first and foremost. The garnish however was some coated cherry of sorts--amazing! I'd opt for the standard here. Fantastic restaurant overall though.

Food was great, especially the appetizers (hamachi crudo, avocado salad, grilled octopus) but ray and francis' service were especially great. Always took care of us and were always timely with bringing and taking away dishes. Ambience of the restaurant was also very cozy but professional and fitting.

If you eat here ask for Blake. He is so kind and will walk you through the menu. He truly is generous and welcoming. You feel like you are one of the family at the restaurant. The food is a quality above. Take time and try an item from each section of the menu. You can walk through it so you are full. This is a place you want to come hungry. The food is worth every minute of the wait. The music is fun too. It will get you completely ready to step into one of the Vegas parties. Stop by and definitely ask for Blake.

W's in the chat for Ramon--very friendly and attentive, made the experience soothing. The restaurant had a nice, calming atmosphere with an open view of the outside. From the Restaurant Week menu, the Hamachi Crudo and stone pot rice really stood out. We also got to donate to save trees. Would definitely come again--highly recommended!

The atmosphere and service were excellent and our food was artistic and flavorful, though quite expensive. I had a very good mocktail to start, followed by the roasted cauliflower which sits on a goat cheese sauce and shishito pepper purée - the flavors mix perfectly, though this is not a low fat entree. My husband had the Thai stone pot with duck, it was good but very rich, likely due to the duck fat permeating the rice. This is served in a hot pot and the rice becomes crispy and tasty as it sits. We also had a side of grilled broccoli with was also nicely seasoned. Overall a good spot for a cocktail and memorable meal, though very rich and filling.

Would highly recommend Kyu at the Fountainbleu! Excellent service by James, incredible food and menu. Items are a la carte and meant to be shared. We ordered the crispy tuna appetizer and the burratta with sourdough. Both were scrumptious! As for main courses we picked the crab pot and the fried chicken, with the asparagus as a side. We really could have gone with 2 apps, and one main , and then maybe room for dessert. However we were glad we ordered what we did in order to experience some of their most popular items. We tried two of the mocktails- the matcha shake and the lime fever tree tonic one. I preferred the lime one which was very tart and delicious. Next time I hope to have room to try dessert because the menu sounds amazing. Would definitely return!!

We booked a private room for a friend's dinner. The food was great! The service was subpar. The courses were not spaced out - everything arrived one after the next so we couldn't enjoy the course with wine pairing.

My daughter, her boyfriend, and I came because I saw some vlogs about it. One was great, the other so-so, so had to check out. The place is Modern, open, kind of dark, and fairly busy. Nice ambiance but a bit noisy. Tables around the perimeter for smaller parties, and larger tables in middle. Thought it Would be more casual but most people came a little more dressed up. We had: -Chardonnay, Pink Puppy, Sake Bomb (mango flavor). They were just ok. 7/10 -cauliflower. Not sure why others said it was bland. It was delicious with the sauce. 9/10 -duck breast. Delicious. Sliced and med rare in a sauce. Cooked well (not chewy) and very smoky in taste. 10/10 -sea bass. Delicious. it's not a big piece. 10/10 -short rib. Delicious and fork tender. The only issue is that I expected a charred top like the pictures. Ours was brown and flaccid top. 9/10 -dessert=s'mores cake and banana bourbon ice cream. Ok, the banana flavor did taste like fake banana and an odd combo With the cake. 7/10 Service was excellent. This was a wonderful place to eat!

This place is slightly a trek from most strip hotels given it is located in fountainbleau, that may dissuade some but for a foodie or a special occasion this place is incredible and worth the detour. The service marks one of the best I have experienced in the US and you really feel valued as a patron here. We ordered the $75 weekday set menu and boy did it come with a lot of food. The ambiance is nice, it's earthy luxurious. We loved the living plant wall aesthetic. As part of the set menu we started with the krispy kale got the tuna with sticky rice, cauliflower with a green gazpacho like sauce, and for the mains the octopus and fried chicken. Everything was great, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The fried chickens sauce was unique but the actual texture and consistency were good but not excellent. Desserts were decadent. Will definitely return and recommend.

We sat at the bar and ordered the hamachi crudo and the drink "good morning Vietnam". The thick white sauce on the hamachi crudo is, for lack of better words, disgusting. The fish tasted fresh though and the presentation looked nice. The drinks were a twist on an espresso martini and were pretty good. The reason for my rating is mostly because of the friendly service from Leah and the cool ambiance of the room. Will return but will not order these items

Heard a lot of nice things about this restaurant and finally got around to try it. It is inside the latest big resort in Las Vegas, the Fontainebleau. Both the resort and the restaurant are really tastefully decorated with tons of gorgeous fresh flowers and a kinetic sculpture right outside the KYU restaurant. The restaurant has a beautiful bar near the entrance. The high ceilings make it feel very bright and airy and comfortable. This fusion restaurant offers a lot of unique and creative dishes. We ordered family style for the four of us: Wagyu Tartare prepared table side, Scallop Ceviche, Stone Pot Thai Rice with King Crab, Duck Breast Burnt Ends, Smoked Beef Short Rib, and Pork Belly Bao Buns. They did a fabulous job on all the meats. The duck breast was fantastic. The short rib was marinated for 24 hours and smoked for ten hours. It looked very appealing and was tender and juicy with a really nice smokey aroma. The pork belly was melt in the mouth tender and really tasty. The Wagyu Tartare was prepared table side and served with an excellent Japanese style milk bread. A piece of bone marrow was torched and then mixed in with the Wagyu. It was exquisite. The ceviche was a bit on the watery side. It had a hint of a coconut taste. The Stone Pot Rice was okay, not particularly outstanding compared to the meat dishes. They also have some pretty innovative original drinks. We tried the Pink Puppy and the Godzilla Water. They were both pretty good. The dessert menu did not look very attractive. We got a house made vanilla ice cream for our special occasion celebration. Our server Brian was top notch: very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. He frequently checked on us without being intrusive. I do recommend this restaurant: great food, nice ambience, and excellent service. Prices are fair.

Flavor bombs galore! I'm a huge fan of sour flavors so the hamachi crudo hit the spot. The wagyu tartare filled my savory senses and the avocado salad continued to hit my sour cravings! I was impressed by the different textures that the avocado salad had to offer. From the crunchy nest on the top, to the crispy greens in the middle, my friend and I left that plate clean. The lemon ginger dressing made my citrus dreams come true. The dressing and the juice from the crudo made me want to cry tears of joy! I could drink both and be happy.

Visited here while in Vegas, wanted to check out the new hotel and decided on dinner here, this place is very pretty and the staff is nice and helpful, Joyce was our waitress and she was very professional and helpful! We tried quite a few things here. We started with jasmine tea, which was yummy. Then the fried kale it was flavored very well and crispy just a bit oily to the taste but good overall. The fried chicken was also really good, seasoned good and the sauce it came in was pretty good paired with it. The clay pot fried rice could've been seasoned better and the crispiness of the rice threw me off because I've never had it served this way but I was told by my bf it was normal so I didn't complain (ate it for leftovers and it had softened). Sweet potato was very interestingly flavored. My bf loved it, I was kind of in between but not bad if you like Japanese sweet potatoes and sweet and savory flavors together

This is by far the best restaurant in Las Vegas! Their food was cooked to perfection. The staff was very professional, courteous, and really give you a 5 star dining experience. I would recommend everything on the menu, but the beef short rib was to die for! The restaurant itself was incredibly clean, great music, and great art. My new favorite go to spot in Vegas!

KYU is located inside Fontainebleau Hotel and Casino. Went to dine for dinner due to the good reviews. Ordered the popular items: Korean Fried Chicken, Short Rib, and grilled octopus, also with a side Grilled Broccoli. Grilled octopus was 5/10, outer was crispy but inner was soft and had no texture. Flavor was good. Fried chicken was 3/10, food presentation was 1/10, chicken color was very dark brown, meat was on the dry side. Had 3 pieces and couldn't tell if is it was white or dark meat. The spinach underneath the chicken was mushy and disgusting. Short rib was 6/10, presentation was 7/10, flavors were good but it was on the salty side. The veggie wrap was a nice compliment to the heavy flavor of the meat. Overall, it was not worth the money. Not sure why so many good reviews for the fried chicken and the short rib. Vegas has lots of up scale restaurants and this place does not taste up to par.

We came upon this restaurant when we were walking around the hotel one night. We saw that it had views of the Strip and made a mental bookmark to try this place out some time. We ended up coming here the next day for an early lunch. It was early lunch midweek so the place was pretty empty, though it didn't look that much busier the night before. We were seated by the windows with a decent view of the Strip, which was nice. For food, we ordered their tuna crispy rice (super filling!), avocado toast, and coconut chia pudding. The pudding was out of this world good! To drink, I had their Roshi's Island, which was like a watermelon mojito. Everything on the dessert menu looked delicious - would definitely love to try some next time. Good food and drink, good service, and an overall good experience was had!
