Following its success in Miami and Mexico City, KYU recently opened a location in New York’s Nolita neighborhood. Enticing guests with modern and moody interiors, the establishment specializes in Asian-inspired cuisine prepared with wood-fired grilling methods. A fine dining experience headed by executive chef Chris Arellanes sees a sumptuous list of dishes like smoked wagyu beef brisket, tuna tataki, and roasted cauliflower with goat cheese and shishito herb vinaigrette, and sips including an extensive wine program and a cocktail menu.
