We had excellent service, especially with recommendations for all ages. All of us enjoyed our drinks, entrees, and apps. Very hearty portion sizes and worked well to share. The music was a good variety while also mood appropriate. We loved it. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I came here for the restaurant week special. The Food and service at Kyu were phenomenal . My server Joel was knowledgeable, gave his personal food and drink recommendations also very attentive. the type of server you'd expect to have when dining at an upscale restaurant! read more

This restaurant was good. The cauliflower with sauce was excellent. I also loved the fried chicken. The kale chips were too greasy. The steak was great. The cocktails were standard. Nothing special. Nice atmosphere and service. read more

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! read more

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! read more

This place is really beautiful inside and it's on the bottom floor of Fontainebleau.

KYU - Asian Fusion Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Super disappointing and one of the most lackluster meals I've in Vegas in a while. The ambiance sucks, especially since the casino and restaurant are dead. Waiter was good but the hostess wasn't welcoming in the slightest. And worse, the food was all so mid. I don't know how you make Korean fried chicken boring and completely lacking flavor, but they've figured it out. Only standout dish was the brisket. This place is not long for the world with food that average and only 20% of the tables occupied on a weekend night. read more

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.

They elevated the experience. Thank you Kyu- esp Ray and Frances! read more

KYU - Kind crab, stone rice, and sweet potato - Asian Fusion Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The food is good but you need to know what to get through. Some of dishes are very authentic and didn't impress me at all. I recommend pork belly bao buns, hamachi crispy rice, grilled asparagus, and their coconut cake. I had an issue once, they didn't let us in because we had a bottle of water with us even though we said that we are not planning to drink it at the table, so we had to trough it away, I didn't like this moment at all. read more

first time here at KYU and i would highly recommend! the staff is friendly and will seat you comfortably. the setting is very dim lighting so for an intimate experience this is perfect. the food is delicious! for appetizers we went with the Tuna Crispy Rice. Light and delicious. for the main entrees we did the short rib and rice pot with king crab. (both entrees are pretty big so sharing with 2+ people is perfect. also for cocktails we had the espresso martini and the pink puppy. yum! read more

the food was really tasty and the dishes were well made and fresh the cocktails were good and well balanced and added a lot to the experience the atmosphere was pleasant relaxed and fun and the place itself is nice and inviting with a good vibe the service inside was good and made us feel comfortable i took off one star because of the entrance experience the hostess told us there was no availability and then a minute later we went online and were able to book a table for the same time and when we came back there suddenly was space which was a bit confusing other than that we truly enjoyed ourselves and the overall experience was positive definitely a place that feels good to come back to and i believe next time it will be even better read more

Food was delicious! I started with the pork belly bao buns which were full of flavor and seasoned to perfection. The chipotle sauce and pickle brought out a very nice flavor. Lamb chops and broccoli for the entree were great as well. The broccoli had ginger and something sweet that I can't put my finger on but it married so well. Lamb chops were tender. Cocktail of choice was the pink puppy; a sweet drink. I had the complete experience ending the night with the dark chocolate s'mores for dessert. The ice cream was 5/10 but the s'more's were a hit. Nice ambiance however most patrons were dressed casually. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. I recommend and I will return! read more

SERVICE : Customer Service - I believe it was Mary Kay that coined the term - MMFI (Make Me Feel Important). The staff were spot on in applying that philosophy. We had several staff on rotation accommodating us including the house manager who provided a nice introduction, and checked back a few more times to see how things were going . FOOD QUALITY: Exceptional The Seabass was the best I've ever had by a long shot meaning no other Seabass comes close. Between its texture, taste, and perfect cooking - absolute perfection. The miso & herb sauce featured an array of provided a cornucopia, (a pleasant one at that) of unique flavors such that I've never experienced. The Beef Short Ribs were perfectly marbleized and succulent by themselves however adding the sauces that came with it - was the perfect accompaniment. I highly recommend their Barrata with featuring their signature homemade jam. (Unfortunately, it was devoured before I realized taking a photo might be a good idea). It includes olive oil, and a mozzarella cheese ball which features a softer interior. These combinations are perfect compliments to enhance the taste buds, but the toasted sourdough - performs double-duty by also providing perfect texture too. AMBIENCE: The ambience was soft chill featuring contemporary music at the perfect volume setting which for me means it doesn't compete with one's ability to have easily understood communication. Thus providing the opportunity to decompress after a stressful day. CRITIQUES: I cannot provide any - if I experienced any I would list. SUGGESTIONS: Allow your waiter to educate you on popular dishes. However, I suggest YOU vest time making inquiries and communicating with your waiter too. KYU is more than a place to eat great food and experience new flavors - It's an experience. read more

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 read more

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. read more

A Five-Star Experience at KYU! From the moment we walked up to the greeter, the customer service at KYU was absolutely top-notch. Every detail felt intentional and welcoming. The restaurant's décor and ambiance were on point--modern, warm, and effortlessly stylish, setting the tone for an incredible dining experience. Now, let's talk about the food... the fried chicken and cauliflower dishes were out of this world--crispy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. A special shoutout to our server, Joel, who truly elevated the experience. He represents KYU at a top-tier level--friendly, professional, and exceptionally attentive. Joel checked in regularly to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed without ever feeling intrusive. His knowledge of the menu was impressive, and his enthusiasm for the food was contagious. KYU delivered excellence from start to finish. We left already planning our next visit. Thank you Joel for making this experience very memorable for my husband and I on October 22, 2025. read more

KYU - Cinnamon roll with chai frosting - Asian Fusion Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We finally tried out Kyu and it was an overall great experience except for the Korean Fried Chicken which came out with pink/reddish bloody meat twice. Our server and the manager did apologize profusely and tried their best to make it right by cooking the dish again and removing the dish from our bill. They explained that it was due to the restaurant using Jidori chicken (a higher end breed similar to wagyu for beef) and that the bloodlines (which are in the thigh) are what caused the red bloody color and reassured us that the chicken meat is fully cooked & safe to eat. They swapped the thigh to breast instead so that there would be no bloody issue. The smoked short rib is a must have and the best dish of the night! It rivals the best bbq in Texas in terms of smoky taste and melt in your mouth tenderness. The pork guy was a great appetizer to start with - crunchy and salty goodness similar to lechon kawali from Filipino cuisine! The Thai fried rice was also packed with a lot of flavor. The gyoza potsticker and Japanese sweet potato can be skipped. They're not bad but nothing to remember or write home about. Lastly, if you still have room for dessert, get the tiramisu bao buns! The buns are so refreshing and light and will end the meal in a heavenly high. Service was decent and attentive. Ambiance is smart casual and lighting is a bit dark. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great atmosphere inside Kyu at the Fontainebleau. It was our first time at the hotel and this restaurant and we were left impressed with the food and ambiance. Kyu is a lively Asian fusion restaurant with an eclectic menu and tasty drinks. Prices are on the heavy side, but that's pretty typical now for Vegas. Portions were plenty big and drinks had a good stiffness to them. We were here celebrating a 40th birthday and all went smooth. With all the different dining options in Vegas, I don't know that we would rush to come back, but we are glad we gave this place a go. It's a must visit if you're staying at the hotel. read more

The service here was great, the drinks were also very good (although they were $22 each). We got the wagyu tartar, which was the best I've ever had, made with bone marrow. The hamachi crudo was also amazing but very small portion. We also got the short rib which was very tender and good, but tasted similar to a good barbecue place in Texas in my opinion, but my partner really liked it. Lastly we got the stone pot rice, which was just a wet fried rice. Wouldn't recommend that one as highly. We probably won't be back due to the high prices, but it was good food. read more

Excellent! Had done a little research on this place and glad I made it happen. Everything was delicious! Service and ambiance was better than expected. Music added to the experience.

KYU - Burrata and crispy rice tuna in the back - Asian Fusion Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more
