FUHU at Resorts World Las Vegas is the perfect spot for those craving an electrifying atmosphere and bold, contemporary Asian cuisine. “We wanted to bring something different to Las Vegas and capture the high energy that you expect when you’re on the Strip,” Executive chef at FUHU, Chef Justin Kalaluhi, told us. “It’s definitely not your classic Asian cuisine restaurant, but it’s also not what you’ve seen in other hotels and casinos. I think our menu is incredibly special, and our team has poured everything into developing it.”
Every detail has been designed to enhance the vibrant, high-energy dining experience, from the retro-inspired decor to the indoor-outdoor dining space. “FUHU’s venue is a great backdrop for aesthetic photos, which everyone is always looking for!” Kalaluhi told us of the space. “Our patio is perfect for when the weather cools down in the evenings and perfect during brunch. It looks out to Ayu Dayclub, which has a tropical oasis atmosphere, so it feels like you’re on a secret island getaway.”
“Mixing retro, modern and Chinese-inspired décor seems like an interesting combination, but they all complement each other in an elegant way. We have our iconic cherry blossom tree right at the front entrance, which is inspired by the cherry blossoms in the first FUHU at Resorts World Genting in Malaysia. The flowers floating and twinkling above the bar tie it together.”
FUHU’s menu features a wide selection of seafood, steak, sushi, and specialty cocktails, inviting guests to indulge in a culinary adventure unlike any other. “We like to keep the mystery alive and want to surprise our guests,” Kalaluhi said of the beloved menu item. “For the next menu change, we’re going to have a twist on chicken and dumpling soup! We love to think back to the tried and true and then play around with that idea.”
Items that stand out include innovative takes on classic dishes like the FUHU Fried Chicken. “This one is a menu staple, and everyone loves it,” Kalaluhi told us. “FUHU’s Fried Chicken is actually a signature dish we replicated from FUHU in Malaysia! It’s fried chicken with a bit of a spicy kick and chili glaze. It’s super flavorful and has the perfect texture that makes you keep craving for more.”
Other favorites are a little less familiar. “It’s gotta be the Banana Cake!” Kalaluhi said of the most popular dessert item on the menu. “It’s unique because it comes with a crème fraiche ice cream instead of the typical vanilla ice cream. On top of the banana cake, there’s an amazing rum caramel sauce and caramelized bananas.”
“Another one that is always a fun way to top off the dining experience is the Wonton Candies—they are deep-fried wonton wrappers twisted to look like little candies! When you take a bite, you get gooey chocolate milky way in the center.”
FUHU is not just a restaurant; it is the ultimate party destination in Las Vegas. Every Saturday night, guests are invited to “The Patio is a Vibe,” a weekly party concept that promises hidden delights, live music, and specially crafted cocktails and dishes. “Our specialty cocktails are a must-try and make it so much fun,” Kalaluhi said of the cocktails. “There are drinks inspired by tropical flavors like lychee, guava, coconut and passionfruit. And, of course, there are Asian influences in our cocktails; for example, FUHU’s Wasa-Bi, which has wasabi syrup and Green Gold, which features matcha. You really can’t go wrong!”
“My personal favorite is Fallen Ambers because I love Old Fashioneds and Japanese Whiskey. The drink comes with a cool smoked presentation that gives it an extra unique element.”
The excitement does not stop there as FUHU also offers a unique take on the classic brunch experience with the imaginative Saturday Brunch. Featuring Ube Pancakes, Snow Crab Scramble Dynamite, and Hainanese Chicken Rice, diners are treated to a fusion of flavors that satisfy a variety of tastes. Additionally, exclusive brunch cocktails and Dim Sum options are also available, making Saturday Brunch at FUHU an unforgettable experience. “Our brunch menu has dim sum, twists on classic brunch cocktails, hot and cold dishes and even sushi rolls,” Kalaluhi explained. “We have our own take on everything! An instant crowd-pleaser is our Ube Pancakes. This is a fun tropical take on classic pancakes by making them ube and adding coconut flavors. It’s paired with condensed milk and whipped butter to give it that sweetness.”
“Our guests love FUHU’s food and vibes!” Kalaluhi told us. “That’s always been a highlight in feedback and reviews. Many of our patrons come to FUHU before heading over to Zouk Nightclub, and coming in to dine is like having another party at the table. When our guests leave our restaurant, we hope that they are mesmerized by the attention to detail in our dishes and the incredible flavors and want to keep coming back for more.”
