Our Story
Founded by Alan Omsky and Jordan Sayfie in 2016, KYU, located in the eclectic Wynwood district of Miami, became TIME magazine’s “Best Restaurant in Florida” one year after opening, and a semifinalist for “Best New Restaurant ” by the James Beard Foundation. KYU’s unique wood-smoked, wood-grilled Asian concept quickly made KYU one of Miami’s most coveted dining spots while gaining international acclaim. Guests love KYU’s sophisticated, bustling atmosphere tucked behind Wynwood’s famous murals, while dining on pristine ingredients, expertly prepared, with bold, inventive, Asian flavors. Omsky and Sayfie have partnered with the Reuben brothers, real estate developers from England, to expand the brand around the globe.
