Latin-Asian Fusion is Making Waves

Miami being defined as “fusion” comes as no surprise. From the murals of Wynwood to the Cuban cafés of Little Havana, this city has always brimmed with diversity. Yet, a new trend has brought a refreshing kick to the mix: Latin-Asian fusion. It’s bold, it’s unexpected. And at the heart of it is KONG, a Coral Gables restaurant that has redefined what sushi can be as the best sushi in Miami.

Miami: The Perfect Ground

Why is Miami the best place for Latin-Asian fusion cuisine? The answer is simple: the city itself is a melting pot.

In Brickell, young professionals are always on the lookout for trendy spots. In Miami Beach, tourists want flashy and Instagram-ready dishes. In Coral Gables, families and locals look for sophistication mixed with comfort.

Latin-Asian fusion in Miami: a constant blending of stories, traditions, and flavors. 

KONGs Take on Latin-Asian Fusion

At KONG, fusion isn’t a gimmick—it’s the heart of the menu. It brings together the elegance of Japanese tradition with the boldness of Latin cuisine.

Sushi Pizza

Forget everything you know about pizza. At KONG, the Sushi Pizza replaces the dough with a crispy tempura rice bun. It’s topped with smoked salmon, sweet plantain, avocado, raclette cheese, and drizzled with passion fruit glaze. The result? A dish that’s unmistakably Miami.
