Loved by locals and hotel guests alike, Ke-uH has more to offer than impeccable beachfront dining in Miami Beach, Florida. Here, East Asian cuisine and Southeast Asian influence come together to provide a new take on Japanese fusion. Great food might be a given— Corporate Chef Oscar Noborikawa spent 14 years working at Nobu — but Acqualina’s eatery also represents a celebration of cultures, both near and far. If you are looking to take a bite of the multicultural magic, Ke-uH is joining top restaurants in Miami Beach with its special Miami Spice menu.
Available through September, the carefully curated, limited-edition menu offers a three-course dinner for $45. For Chef Edwin Delgado, Ke-uH’s executive chef and fellow Nobu alum, Miami Spice is a great opportunity to attract guests during shoulder season. “Our idea is to give our hotel guests and local residents a special prix fixe menu,” he explains. “More than half of our patrons opt into the Miami Spice menu every day.”
Awaken your palette with the first course: Delgado says you can’t go wrong with Ke-uH’s arugula salad tossed with a creamy, wasabi yuzu salad or tempura finished with a drizzle of honey and jalapeño aioli. Alternatively, adventurous epicureans can start their meal with tuna sashimi tacos or a salmon pizza topped with guacamole, kalamata olives, and truffle oil. While the main course features your choice of baby back ribs; a 16-ounce, bone-in rib-eye; and a vegetarian option, it’s an opportune time to experience Japanese fusion excellence.
Since Ke-uH offers incredible outdoor dining in Miami Beach, this limited-edition offering delivers a marvelous, multisensory meal. The restaurant’s Miami Spice program offers an exquisite tasting menu experience at a more accessible price point, but don’t discount quality. Not only does Noborikawa source excellent, sushi-grade fish from the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, but he also stocks Ke-uH’s kitchen with chefs who know how to care and prepare its fish. “I’m very proud that we carry the best quality of fish ingredients,” he says. “We always try to get the best of the best.”
The best of the best with a beachfront view? Now that’s a can’t-miss meal.
