Niño Gordo Wynwood
Miami
Originating from Buenos Aires, Niño Gordo is a vibrant Asian fusion restaurant in Wynwood featuring an Argentine twist within a red lantern-lit dining room. Standout menu items include cauliflower karaage, veal and squid or cheesy dumplings, crispy A5 wagyu katsu sandos, and miso flan. Guests can also discover a unique Tokyo-bus-inspired speakeasy omakase hidden in the back.
While commenters appreciate the cute and visually appealing aesthetic, sentiment is heavily mixed due to high costs averaging over $100 per person and relatively small portions. Many diners voiced frustration with Wynwood's oversaturation of pricey Asian fusion spots and expressed a preference for more authentic Asian food.
