Between watching the live street art, shopping in artisanal boutiques, and grabbing a drink with friends, the choice of dinner is overwhelming. But there is no need to stress, we rounded up our go-to’s to enjoy in Wynwood.
KYU
Address: 251 NW 25th St
Cuisine: Asian
A classic never goes out of style and that is certainly the case for KYU. One of the few original spots that still has remained since 2016 is a must-visit. Known for their diverse menu, exceptional cocktails, and a throwback playlist that gives you that good vibe feels. If you find yourself walking the graffitied streets of Wynwood, follow that wood-fire smell and make your way into KYU. Make sure you try their famous Korean Fried Chicken with braised spinach or the Roasted Cauliflower with goat cheese, shishito, and herb vinaigrette. And if you managed to save room, do not leave without treating yourself to a slice of Coconut Cake. Trust us, it’s worth it.

1-800-LUCKY
Address: 143 NW 23rd St
Cuisine: Asian
This 10,000 sq ft food hall caters to every pan-Asian craving you could possibly have. This indoor-outdoor Asian market is home to 6 different concepts and features two full bars and a hidden karaoke room. So, if you and your friends are looking for a place to throw down on some noodles, dim sum, rolls and then belt some tunes; then make your way to 1-800 Lucky. With hip-hop beats playing in the background, the vibe is never not right; plus, if you are looking for some local DJs to keep you grooving then they’ve got you covered. We recommend getting a little bit from each vendor but get your hands on the Sisig and the Sinangag from the Jeepney.

HIYAKAWA
Address: 2700 N Miami Ave #5
Cuisine: Japanese
Elegant, sophisticated and exceptional hospitality are just a few words we have to describe Hiyakawa. The team from Wabi Sabi brought out another high-end omakase concept that continues to blow minds. Only serving 50 guest a night and preparing fish that is flown in from Japan daily they hit the mark with every single service. Come ready to eat if you make your way here, they offer a chef’s omakase and an a la carte menu for you to choose from. Off the a la carte menu order yourself some fresh Japanese Uni, Madai and a Negitoro handroll. Just a heads up you may end up ordering rounds of handrolls because they are just that good.

MOMOSAN
Address: 415 NW 26th St
Cuisine: Ramen
Many come for the noodles, but we insist you try your hand on the many small plates and dishes that are on this extensive menu. The name behind Momosan comes from the one and only Iron Chef Morimoto. Bringing in flavors from his hometown of Hiroshima, Chef Morimoto curated a menu that invokes a playful touch on authentic Japanese comfort food. So, when those cold Miami nights come in or you are feeling a little homesick, then make your way here. We recommend that you treat yourself to one of their labors of love the Tonktosu ramen with pork broth, chashu pork, ajitama, kikurage, and takana or the Sticky Ribs, twice-cooked pork tossed in hoisin chili sauce. And last but certainly not least the Pork gyozas that are pan-fried and served with a ginger scallion sauce.
