What’s Going to Be Good: CHO Funky Asian Bistro

The Scallop Crudo is quite possibly the best dish we have eaten in 2026. Full stop.

The Khao Soi Lamb Neck, egg noodles, crispy noodles, bean sprouts, is the kind of bowl that makes you cancel your plans and order another. The Duck Fried Rice was perfection in the most unfussy, confident way a dish can be perfect.

And the Wasabi Cabbage Salad, Korean pear, apple, wasabi vinaigrette, we found ourselves wishing it was bottomless. Olive Garden style. No shame.

Then there are the drinks, which deserve their own conversation. An Asian riff on a margarita that was beautiful, light, and airy. A rum punch served in a tiger cup that was as theatrical as it was delicious. And an ube martini that had no right being as good as it was.

This is a kitchen and a bar program firing in the same direction. That is rarer than it sounds.

South Beach has been waiting for this restaurant for a long time. It just didn’t know the address yet.

Now it does.
