Being new to the area, I love the experience of trying new places each time I go out. I could not…read morefollow that rule with Kuffo though...this restaurant is simply too good to not return again and again. The restaurant is named after the owner's grandma. How can anybody not appreciate a guy that loves his grandma? But there is more to Fernando than just that. He actually sums it up on his website when he writes, "cooking is my passion my real joy comes from making my guests happy." Having been there a few times now, I have grown certain that these are not just words. This sentiment comes from the heart and is evident in not just the amazing food, the attentive service, and the beautiful decor but also in the personal attention he shows every customer. It is not just business to him, it is personal. The food here is spectacular. So far I have tried a bento box which included miso soup, chicken padthai, and sashimi. The combination of flavors, the freshness of the fish, and the presentation were outstanding. I believe the dashi base for the soup must be made from scratch because the soup is so flavorful but, if not, I must find out where he gets it. The fish is nicely portioned and of a high quality. The padthai is not overly sweet like at so many restaurants which allows you to enjoy the perfect balance of savory ingredients including the perfectly cooked noodles. The portion is generous...enough to take some home. I have also had the Mongolian Chicken and the Ginger Glazed Salmon. Each of these were excellent, again sharing that perfect balance of flavors. I would call each of these dishes memorable. The only appetizer I have tried is the gyoza. It was outstanding. I like them fried but not oily, crispy on one side, with moist and not over-seasoned filling. These surpassed my expectations. The word perfect comes to mind. The only reason I have not tried any other appetizers is because the main courses are so generous. For the same reason I have yet to try dessert. I have also not tried any of the side dishes. Strangely, I have ordered sweet plantains twice, but for some reason, they were not served to me either time so I cannot comment on them. The experience was so good that is strange omission did not distract from the experience of the meal. The services is simply outstanding, the food is great and the vibe of the restaurant just creates a wonderful dynamic experience. But again what puts it over the top is the personal intention of the owner who treats us like we are his most valuable customer ever every time we walk in. And we will walk in. Often. kuffo is that good!

The tender, flavorful salmon was cooked to perfection, and the teriyaki sauce was a delectable complement. Additionally, the Lomo Saltado was equally delicious; its savory and zesty flavors made it a must-try. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful Asian culinary journey. Not only was the food outstanding at Kuffo, but the service was also exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant's cozy and cute ambiance added to the overall charm, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's the perfect place for a nice chill dinner or lunch.

It's a small spot with just a few tables, but the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. The girl who helped us was incredibly kind and attentive, even though she was the only one working the front with handling everything but the cooking so service took a bit, but she did her best. I ordered the ramen, and it was packed with flavor!rich, filling, and perfectly balanced without being too salty or overloaded. My mom had the lo mein and said it was the best she's ever had. It had just the right amount of flavor, not too salty. We'll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu!

But truly, it's that kind of excitement and life that allows a place like KYU to thrive. People want to be where the action is, and in terms of food - this is there the action is. We had the Chef's Special, and every single serving that was brought to us was a 5/5 experience! Our waitress was attentive and personal, without any sense of lingering or hovering at all. The staff did a good job of dealing with some of the rowdier patrons, and it was clear that this was not the norm, but some people looking for trouble with a bit too much of something in their system. I was impressed overall, and would absolutely go back next time I visit Miami. Probably a top 10 dinner experience!

Even with reservations they were a little slow in seating for a fairly empty restaurant (noon). Ordered drinks (tea $6 and coffee $5) then brunch. Seems like service coordination is very off. My spouse got the appetizer a good 15 minutes before mine. I had the biscuit, that was very tasty. The fruit, granola yogurt was good too. The main of crab Benedict was served, next although already cooled and the sauce a congealed. My main, after a good 30 minutes still had not arrived. Apparently a steak and eggs can be miscooked and they had redone it, never bothering to tell us. I did not try it there. Refills on the coffee were never offered. We took the steak and our cinnamon buns to go since we had been there long enough. The final kicker is they have an automatic 20% service charge in order to ensure the staff is paid enough. Seems like a business problem to me. Service was not up to that high of a standard. If you go during Miami Spice I hope they have figured out how to sequence the courses and get them to the table correctly while still hot.

The volcanic salmon was the standout of the night: sizzling, tender, and packed with flavor. You can tell they put real care into the way they season and cook their dishes. The sushi rolls were clean, balanced, and plated with intention. Even the appetizers came out crisp and hot, not greasy. The space itself is modern and inviting, with a sleek interior that makes the whole experience feel elevated without being pretentious. Service was friendly and attentive, and the menu has enough variety to keep things interesting without feeling overwhelming. If you're in the mood for sushi, sake, or a mix of Asian-inspired dishes, this spot delivers solid quality and great presentation.

Also, people kept strolling in, looks like they have a private back area. People were interestingly dressed and kept taking photos near the back. The service was okay, it felt like the food took long to come out, considering there weren't a lot of diners there. Two of us had the picanha, it was good but it was à la carte, so I ordered potatoes with like a chili oil topping as a side. Split that with my daughter who ordered the mahi mahi and really enjoyed the mahi. The last person in our party ordered a chicken dish, I think it might have been Asian style; she said it was okay.

The restaurant is decently sized, very spacious, and offers plenty of indoor seating. We were seated right away and ordered from the lunch special menu. I had the Pad Prig-Sod with fried tofu and my husband ordered Combo # 2 Sashimi Combo. Food was delivered by robot, which was a fun touch. My soup was tasty, spring roll was average, and the entrée was just okay. The fried rice was bland--just rice and egg. When my husband's order arrived, we noticed the rice was missing. The waiter explained it was an error on the menu and that the dish doesn't come with rice, but offered to bring some if he wanted. If that's the case, the menu should be corrected so customers aren't misled. Maybe if you're wanting sushi or sashimi, this is the place. I may give it another try for a different cooked dish next time.
