Where to Find Wynwood’s Top Restaurants

Kyu 

Address:  251 NW 25th St, Miami, FL 33127

Restaurant Overview: You’ll be struck by the chic, modern interior of Kyu from the minute you walk into this Wynwood restaurant. The loft-like ambiance makes perfect sense tucked in amongst the artist’s studios and galleries in the area. Peek into the open kitchen as the chefs work their art, serving up inventive modern Asian-inspired dishes.  

What to Eat: Definitely dabble in the seafood. The Sliced Hamachi with white ponzo, chili, and herbs is a refreshing way to cool down on a hot Miami day. Go all in and order the Chef’s Tasting Menu to try a selection of the kitchen’s favorite dishes of the day, priced at a flat rate per person, with drink pairings available. Don’t skip their artisanal cocktail menu, featuring interesting ingredients, such as a Japanese Sweet Potato Reduction, matcha, house tinctures and more. 

Le Chick

Address: 310 NW 24th St, Miami, FL 33127

Restaurant Overview: Casual but delicious, fun but food-focused, chicken but also other stuff: Le Chick has it all going on. This Wynwood restaurant focuses on perfecting their free range chicken cooked rotisserie-style, but the menu definitely doesn’t stop at chicken. If you’re looking for a more lounge-like experience where you can still have a great bite to eat, Le Chick is the place for you. 

What to Eat: Obviously the chicken is the star; the name gives it away. Order the ½ Chicken Rotisserie served with fingerling potatoes, spicy mayo and chimichurri, or go for it sandwich-style and get the Fried Chicken Bun. If you’re in the mood for red meat, vegetarian dishes, or something on the lighter side, their menu has it all. 

1-800-Lucky 

Address: 143 NW 23rd St, Miami, FL 33127

Restaurant Overview: 1-800-Lucky is a Wynwood spin on a food hall, with seven stalls focused on Asian street food favorites, ranging from ramen to sushi, and dumplings to poke. Order at one of the on-site restaurants, and then eat in the shared indoor space, or head out to the courtyard to find a large bar, usually with a DJ onsite spinning tunes. Late at night, it becomes a place where you can dance, drink, and get down with Japanese ice cream in a fish-shaped cone. 

What to Eat: b-side by Itamae, a local favorite sushi-maker, won’t let you down with their signature rolls, such as I Am The Walrus, a crispy soft shell crab roll with avocado, cucumber, and sprouts, topped with masago and spicy mayo. Usago Tokyo serves authentic, Japanese ramen that will keep you dreaming of their Ajitama Egg. 

Kush by Lokal 

Address: 2003 N Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33127

Restaurant Overview: When the craving for a burger strikes, head to Kush by Lokal, slinging the best burgers in the Wynwood area for years. This local favorite is tucked off the main stretch of Wynwood, giving it more of a hidden gem quality and low key vibe than some of the area’s other restaurants. 

What to Eat: The Frita by Kush offers a spin on Miami flavors that you’ve got to try for yourself. The burger is topped with potato stix (a Cuban touch to add some extra crunch), guava jelly, bacon, and Swiss cheese. Pair your burger with a local beer made especially for the restaurant. The Lokal Key Lime Pie provides the perfect finish to your meal.
