KYU Las Vegas Reviews
This was our second time here and it was even better than the first. Both times we’ve dined at the bar, but tonight we had the pleasure of being served by the bartender Karen and she made the experience that much more wonderful. Her knowledge of the menu and food was impressive and she steered us in a great direction where we tried dishes we likely wouldn’t have and loved them all! Her passion for Kyu and what she does is infectious, so I highly recommend dining...read full review
KYU inside Fontainebleau is not to be missed for any foodie looking for something a little different than your average steakhouse. Everything we ordered was phenomenal (try the short rib) and the service was some of the best we had while visiting Vegas this time around. (Shout out to Cindy!) The atmosphere is very intimate too. Nice date night spot.
Definitely a go-to spot in Vegas! The service is impeccable, knowledgeable and truly makes the experience 5 star. The sauce with the cauliflower is delicious, the filet is so tender and flavorful (one of the best I’ve ever had) and I could eat one of the sweet potatoes every day. Finish with the coconut cake, you can’t leave without having it!

KYU Las Vegas offers a memorable dining experience with a chic and inviting atmosphere. The food is flavorful, and the chef receives high praise for their culinary skills. The service is attentive and friendly, with staff showing great knowledge of the menu. The restaurant is inside the Fontainebleau Las Vegas and is highly recommended by both locals and visitors.
The menu features a variety of dishes such as hamachi crudo, pork bao buns, octopus, beef short rib, and Korean Fried Chicken. Guests often enjoy the dishes family-style, although portions can be small if more than two people are dining. Standout items include the stone pot confit duck Thai rice, smoked beef short rib, and king crab legs. The stone pot dish is a sizzling creation with rice, egg, and duck, mixed tableside as the rice crisps. The beef short rib is tender and full of flavor, while the king crab legs are served with the meat removed, cut into pieces, then placed back into the legs with butter.
Recent reviews mention that while the ambiance and service are good and the restaurant is clean, some found the food to be strange if they are not adventurous eaters. The crab legs are smaller and served at room temperature, which some customers did not prefer, especially considering the high price. There have been complaints about the mixology and the cutlery not being proper for serving, and a steak that was not exactly 12oz as marketed.
Overall, KYU Las Vegas provides a unique twist on American-styled food with interesting dishes and a comfortable environment. Despite some minor issues, many guests find the food tasty and the experience enjoyable, especially the lamb chops with hoisin and garlic chips or the Thai Hot pot, which offers comforting flavors perfect for colder days. The staff's friendliness and knowledge add to the positive experience, making KYU a restaurant worth visiting.
