Kung Fu Chicken

Kung Fu Chicken Miami Beach is a counter-service fried chicken restaurant at 1502 Washington Avenue, a block off Española Way in South Beach. It opened in March 2026. At 1,600 square feet, it is the brand’s largest location, with seating for about 40 guests.

What Kung Fu Chicken Miami Beach Serves

The restaurant serves Asian-style fried chicken. Its own site describes the chicken as marinated for 24 hours and “always crispy, never greasy.” The menu covers chicken sandwiches, wraps, crispy fingers, wings, combo meals and rice bowls. It also lists Asian 3D ice cream and smoothies.

Wing flavors on the official menu include Honey Garlic, Szechuan Mala, Sweet Sriracha, Snow Cheese and Spicy Soy Garlic, plus the Original Crispy. Sides include chicken gyoza, corn cheese, cucumber salad and fries.

Dishes Exclusive to the Washington Avenue Storefront

Opening coverage says two items debuted here. The first is the Master Chicken Steak, a large panko-crusted cutlet inspired by Chinese night markets. The second is house-made radish kimchi, served as an accompaniment. Community Newspapers listed the steak at $8.49 at opening. Prices can change, so check the official menu before you go.

The Classic Chicken Sandwich and the Lava Chicken Sandwich, which adds melted cheese, are the sandwich staples. At opening they were listed at $9.99 and $10.99.

Ordering and the Dining Room

The location is built for both dine-in and takeout. Guests order at the counter under the overhead menu boards and eat in the dining room. The room has a large round communal table and booth seating along one wall. Coverage of the opening describes white walls, pink accents, custom tile work and a mural of the brand’s mascot, JoJo.

The restaurant also takes online orders through its own site, and its location page mentions delivery.

Hours and Getting There

The restaurant is open daily from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM, with no midday closure. It sits on Washington Avenue within walking distance of Española Way. The restaurant has not published parking information for this location. Allow time to find street or garage parking if you drive.

Where It Fits in South Beach

This is a casual counter-service stop rather than a sit-down restaurant. It suits a quick lunch, an early dinner or takeout back to a nearby hotel. The 10:00 PM close means it is not a late-night option.
