Kung Fu Kitchen and Sushi

Great location and good food. Reasonably priced quality food. Great crunchy crab roll and Korean bbq sliders!

I ate here while I was in Miami. I stayed at Catalina so this restaurant was right outside my hotel. The service a mess. They forgot what we ordered so the manger gave us free alien testicle shots. When the food finally arrived it was okay. Wasn’t s big fan of their kimchi

Great lively atmosphere at Fung Ku. Staff was friendly and service was fast. I had a chicken pad thai, that was simply Excellent! My friends and I shared a huge cocktail bowl that had us dancing the whole night. I will be back soon!

Horrible food, horrible service. Ridiculously over priced. Don’t waste your time or money, there are better places on south beach.

Had such a great time! Robert the manager invited us in from next door where we were all staying. He gave us free shots and personalized service the entire time. Ivan at the bar was great too. Very nice and personable. All 9 of us girls had a great time and dinner was very good. Highly recommend them. Their roof top bar and pool is very relaxing.

I LOOOOOVE sushi and love lounges so I thought this would be a good bet. The outdoor area was actually pretty cool.
Our waiter was nice. He was very sweet an apologetic to inform us there was no shrimp tempura (uhhhh) and no soda (okaaaay)…
Calamari 7.5÷10 — Crunchy. Fresh. Yummy. Spicy dipping sauce. Would order again.
When our sushi finally came out we had no chopsticks or bowls for soy sauce. Waited another 4 – 5 minutes for that.
The seafood salad roll was small and spongy. Fake crab. Blah. ²⁄₁₀
The rainbow roll was good. Fresh. 6.5÷10
We were still hungry but disillusioned with sushi. Ordered fish tacos. The crispy shells were more like a cracker? Fish overlooked slightly. Good veggies and sauce. ⁴⁄₁₀
Wouldn’t return. Too many other great places to try!

STAY AWAY STAY AWAY STAY AWAY.
Came here seeking some tourist-​level asian food for a quick supper before hitting SoBe. This was a mistake.
1. My friend’s entrée came before their appetizers. (–1 star)
2. They had 3 courses before I ever got my food. I waited 1.5hrs for some salty pad-​thai (–2 stars)
3. Our usual boozy breakfast and lunch had already left us dehydrated. The food tasted like it’d been cooked in ocean water. Way too much salt! (–1star)
4. The open-​air smoking that happened to the left and right of us made everything taste like smoke (–0.5)
5. The most RACIST drinks menu every made. It’s not tongue in cheek «funny.» It is rude and made a bad experience even worse.
Drinks like «Asian Fetish» and «Asian Hook Her» should never exist. Imagine if there was something similar for Latinas, Afro-​Americans or Native Americans. (–500 stars)
Service was awful. Food was salty. Drinks were inSULting.
We wanted to leave negative tip but unfortunately 18% gratuity was already included. No thanks and never again.

Eh! This was just ok. I got lured in by being handed a $ 10 off coupon. The sushi was just mediocre. This may be my by attitude coming through. I ordered the kung fu cocktail and it does pack a punch. Good job. The sushi was blah. I order a king krab roll which is one of their cucumber rolls. I thought the crab tasted watery and the cucumber was too hard for my liking. The creamy spicy crab was not what I expected. I expected a spicy mayo but did not find one. It was spicy but the tuna was old and too dark. Yuck!!! Took a lot of time to get the check. Then I was given a hard time about the promotion card I was handed that night. Not the sushi place in sobe for me :(
Updated review, I got guilted into buying some pad thai while I was a little tipsy from the bar. Didn’t even pass for good drunk food.

Ill start with the good. The sushi was decent.
Ok so now the rest. The server quoted the pitcher prices as $ 22,25,29. Then charged me $ 40. It would have been cheaper to buy individual drinks, and they probably would have been stronger/​better. The server disappeared for long periods of time and our courses were served rather far apart.
At the end when I asked the manager to review my bill, he barely took 35 seconds to say no. I’ve been a restaurant manager and a customer experience manager before, he lacked the skills of both roles.
Not going back.

Great place! If you have that late night sushi craving as I did, this is the only place to go!!! The food is amazing and you can taste how fresh the sushi is with every bite.
The bartender is great, really knows his stuff. Perfect drinks.

Our server was awesome, Luis had great recommendations and the best was to have the korean bbq spare rib … He was right it was amazing. Definitely enjoyed everything here, would def recommend! Enjoy!

We ate here our last afternoon in Miami. The hostess who sat us was very unfriendly and not very helpful. Our waiter was a different story. He was incredibly sweet and helpful when it came to recommendations. I ordered the chicken pad thai ($ 12) which was great. Not the best Ive ever had but definitely really good. My friend ordered the coconut chicken curry ($ 13). I tried a bit of hers and it too was done well. We ordered a pitcher of their white sangria ($ 22). This I could have done without. It tasted like pineapple and orange juice mixed with a little sprite.
Overall Id definitely return to this restaurant if in the area. The service was great and the food was good! Not to mention the prices are surprisingly decent for South beach!

Again, I will complain about service. This seems to be a common topic when discussing south beach eateries. I guess when you are guaranteed 15% on the check, why make your customer’s dinner enjoyable?
The hostess was friendly and sat us immediately on the patio (sidewalk) on a comfy little couch, where we were able to people watch, and count the endless amount of bentleys and ferraris passing (thats another story). We waited for our waiter, finally he came, took our drink order, we waited some more. Then we ordered our food, a simple bbq eel/​avocado roll (guess what… we waited for that too, simple appetizer right?), we ended up ordering Seafood coconut curry and Mongolian beef. For the price, the portions are HUGE! Surprisingly our waiter checked up on us with a smile, and asked us where we were from, hinting at conversation, but never following up with it.
I’m giving this place 4 stars for the food, definitely not the service… Maybe next time we will try take out.

Horrible restaurant. Ate inside near the bar. Poor service, they ran out of silverware? who does that?!
My friends salmon & broccoli was super duper dry and inedible.
My seabass filet was tasty but it was the smallest filet I’ve seen my life — not worth the money!
Edamame is good.
Dynamite Sushi was delicious.
I’m sure there are other sushi places, avoid this place and go someplace good.

I have been here a couple of times patronizing the bar, being that I knew someone who worked there. The people who work here all need mood stabilizers, the bar is corrupt.
They do not have menus for the drinks, and when you get your bill you crap bricks. They also coerce their bartenders to befriend you and make you buy them drinks. After befriending you, they pretend that they are buying themselves a drink (which they never pay for) to make you feel guilty, so you buy them the drink.
Make sure you ask to see your bill because they will include a 18% gratuity in the bill without telling you. Lots of people end up tipping them more money totally unaware that they already included automatic gratuity in the bill.
This is a typical corrupt bad South Beach establishment, so beware my friends.

Okay, okay. Before I get the resounding chorus of ‘DUH!’, I feel like I need to explain a few things.
1.) I was starving. I hadn’t had anything to eat in over 12 hours and I had been working pretty strenuously for 5 of them. I was delirious; 2.) Before coming here, my colleague and I walked the streets like a ‘dancer’ from Club Madonna (or Twist; I am an equal opportunity caller outer of hos) in search of some deep pockets and a patsy with lack of common sense — only in our case, we were hungry; 3.) It was hot and muggy and after an aborted attempt to kick it in da club (yes, we were hungry and thirsty and we went to a club first), didn’t have much strength to travel farther; and 4.) there are, like, no restaurants on this stretch of Collins.
Obviously, it was a conspiracy to come here.
Seeing lights on, we ambled to the patio, I took out my Unilocal app, looked it up… and lawdhamercy, 2 stars. I didn’t go without food for a day for 2 stars! But, we were already sitting down. Trapped. That’s when the smell hit me. The patio furniture has the not-​so-​faint scent of mildew. Appetizing, no? After deciding the pen the Great American Novel™, our waiter decided to see what we were doing. He soon figured out that we were in need of food. My trick to ordering food at what might be a sketchy place: booze. Booze kills isht. I ordered a drink. I received water in a martini glass. If there was any alcohol in that thing, I’m Kim Kardashian’s new man. Judging by the lack of weave in my bed/​bathroom, I’m going with ‘no booze.‘
I was in trouble.
Scurred because I had no weapons with which to fight the funk, I ordered a safe maki roll. That’s right: starved, I ordered one roll. It’s a good thing too, because it took over 45 minutes to come to the table. Did you hear me – 45 minutes late at night with no crowd. Wha? When our waiter finally returned and dropped off our food, he was nice enough (and even a little chatty at this point) but the snail’s pace service, bland (even for a simple roll) food, weak drink, lack of a crowd, and dingy seating were enough to let me know never to come here again. The next time I need to get a CM/​T (that’s Club Madonna/​Twist) stroll on late at night in search of food, remind me to go home and have some Chobani.

Came here with a freind during Winter Music Conference since I was staying at the hotel Catalina and this restaurant was onsite. It was supposed to be convenient. I ordered from Dmitri and he took forever to bring out our drinks, he then messed up the order… when we brought it to his attention he had attitude with us for no reason. We were on vacation so we just blew it off. He then took about 25 – 30 minutes to bring out our bill. Once he did he gave us more attitude. He then charged my friend an incorrect amount. He got upset and went inside to complain. He was directed to go to the bartender to get the payment corrected. He went in to see Dennis inside (That’s what he said his name was) and was treated rudely. Dennis corrected the mistake but was charged twice. Dennis almost got pleasure out of it.
Avoid restaurants like this. They take advantage of the automatic tip but giving the worst service. Funny thing is that this happened to me 2 years ago during WMC with a female waitress. This place is not equipped to take on busy periods and instead relly on making this place seemed packed but its really because customers are waiting. The worst part of all the sushi was crap. Sort of like an all you can eat place in terms of quality but prices as if it’s good. GO TO NOBU when in Miami. This place is crap.
Dmitri and Dennis are examples of why Miami needs to repeal the automatic TIP. They need to ensure proper service.

I ordered «up» to the pool for lunch, and was sadly disappointed by the quality and presentation of my tuna tacos. The tacos were soggy by the time they arrived and the tuna just. wasn’t.good. I’m a tuna whore, and these did not satisfy.
It was back to ordering omelettes and big plates of fries for each and every meal I ate at the pool (and I ate every meal at the pool, other than a dinner at Nobu).

Since my hotel provided a daily $ 20 credit to this place, I came here for several meals. You can choose to sit indoors or outdoors, but given the location on Collins, sitting outside affords you plenty of good people watching.
The good: Kung Fu Crunch roll (krab stick, cream cheese, tempua flakes, topped with spicy tuna and eel sauce), Ceviche with some chips, Tuna Tartar Tacos ($ 10 for 2 or $ 3 each during happy hour), Garlic spinach with soy, Sweet Potato fries ($ 8 at dinner, $ 4 during HH), Dragon roll (Shrimp Tempura with Avocado), Mojitos and Margaritas.
The bad: The service. It was good once seated but after that, the kitchen was horrendously slow, at times, getting the food out. That isn’t always the server’s fault, but the servers were very slow getting the check to us or checking on us. I would not recommend this place for getting in and out unless you got take-​out.
Overall, I loved the food. Plus, it was nice that we could use the hotel credit during happy hour.

Desperately searching for a sushi place on the beach that was open at midnight on a Wednesday night was hectic. Low and behold using my trusty Unilocal mobile app I find Kung Fu Sushi– kitchen open till 1 am. I have stayed in The Catalina Hotel before and eaten at Maxine’s but never had Kung Fu Sushi. I do remember seeing Pauly Shore in a commercial for this place.
Anyways, we were so happy they were open so we stopped in. The décor is super nice. You can sit outside or indoors. We opted for inside because once again, true Miamians can’t with the heat outside. We ordered the Kung Fu Crunch Roll, The Rock n Roll, Dragon Roll (which was actually one of the best Dragon Rolls I’ve had in a while) and the salmon carpaccio. OMG delicious! Everything was great.
You may have some top competitors on South beach when it comes to Sushi but you definitely beat them for your mouthwatering sushi and keeping the kitchen open past 11pm on a weeknight. Well worth it!
