Since opening with Fontainebleau in 2023, Kyu has satisfied tourists and locals alike with wood-fired cooking, innovative dishes and elevated atmosphere.

The Asian-inspired restaurant headed by global executive chef Raheem Sealey uses Japanese yakiniku (which translates to “grilled meat” in Japanese) techniques to deliver unforgettable flavors. Here are some must-try items.

GRILLED OCTOPUS ($39) Charred, wood-fired flavors shine with a kick of paprika and tender hearts of palm.

WAGYU STEAK TARTARE ($52) This showstopper comes with bone marrow broiled tableside, furikake aioli and Parker House rolls.

THAI RICE STONE POT ($37-$47) Inspired by the technique of dolsot bibimbap, this sizzling flavor bomb comes with vegetarian, confit duck or king crab options.

CHILEAN SEABASS ($68) This fish and white miso are a match made in heaven, and otherworldly when paired with a fresh herb salad.

BEEF SHORT RIB ($89) Seasoned with black shichimi pepper and sweet soy, this generous hunk of tender beef comes with three dipping sauces, pickles and lettuce cups.

KYU LAS VEGAS Fontainebleau, 702-678-7777, kyurestaurants.com. Sunday-Thursday, 5-10 p.m.; Friday & Saturday, 5-11 p.m.
