He started the Asian restaurant KYU in Miami. Now he has a new spot in Fort Lauderdale
An Asian barbecue restaurant from Asheville is now open in South Florida — and it's got a familiar Miami force behind it. Ukiah Japanese Smokehouse is now open in downtown Fort Lauderdale, located on the city's riverfront not far from The Wharf. The menu, much of which relies on a large, wood-fired smoker, was created by a chef/owner well-known to Miami diners: Michael Lewis, the former global executive chef at Zuma in Brickell who opened the famous Asian restaurant KYU in Wynwood in 2016. Lewis has teamed up with restaurateurs Lizzy Maynes and former KYU general manager Steven Haigh, both with the Scotch & Bacon Group, and Michael Sponaugle from Buya Restaurants for the new restaurant. Lewis and Haigh were bought out at KYU by their original partners in 2020. The first Ukiah, which opened in North Carolina in 2021, was created as a neighborhood restaurant, Lewis said, which made the choice to open in Fort Lauderdale a natural one. 'After opening in Asheville, it was clear that community was core to our brand, and as much as we love our other stomping grounds of Brickell and Wynwood, there is something about the relaxed riverfront living of Fort Lauderdale that just felt right,' he said. 'I see a ton of potential, a ton of growth and change in this neighborhood.' There was one other small factor involved: 'Lizzy has lived here for 17 years and would kill me if our next spot wasn't in Fort Lauderdale,' Lewis joked. The restaurant spreads across 4,000 square feet with indoor and outdoor dining for more than 150 diners, with a central bar and semi-private spaces for events. The menu leans into deep smoky flavors from its signature dishes like brisket and pastrami short rib, served with toasted rye, fire-roasted kimchi and yuzu pickles. You'll also find a raw bar and street food items on the menu, like yakitori, gyoza and ramen as well as lighter vegetable dishes. Some of the popular items include crispy rock shrimp with chili butter and gorgonzola; hamachi with white ponzu serrano pepper and herbs; beech mushroom tempura with Tokyo ranch and onion ash; pork belly tonkotsu ramen; red snapper with white ponzu, grilled lemon and sea salt; and Japanese sweet potato with miso butter, brown sugar, parmesan and salt. There's a bar menu, too, which will specialize in sake, shochu and Japanese whisky. You'll also find cocktails like So Fresh and So Green, with gin, shiso, green peas, lemon, ginger syrup and a scallion tincture, and Purple Rain, with purple shiso-ube infused sake, orange Curacao, lemon and egg whites. Ukiah Japanese Smokehouse opens at a time when the Fort Lauderdale culinary culture is gaining attention. With the arrival of the international Michelin Guide rating restaurants in the city, the rise in downtown residential development and the $1.2 billion renovation of the Broward County Convention Center, the city is growing — and so presumably is its restaurant scene. Lewis, who was nominated for a James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant with KYU, said he felt that the restaurant landscape was 'taking off.' 'There is a growing young professional crowd here, and so much new and business infrastructure coming in that creates a need for evolving palates,' he said. 'This, plus a strong local community that is embracing new talent and flavors from homegrown concepts like Heritage [from Chef Rino Cerbone] and The Katherine [from Chef Timon Balloo] that offer a humbleness that I think people are craving more and more.' He's not sure if Fort Lauderdale will match the culinary madness of Miami — 'anything is possible,' he admits — but he's happy to have staked a claim in Broward County. 'As high rents push talented new chefs out of the Miami market, Fort Lauderdale is an amazing place to call home,' he said. Ukiah Japanese Smokehouse Where: 221 SW First Ave., Fort Lauderdale Hours: 4-11 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday; 4-midnight Friday; noon-midnight Saturday; 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Sunday; closed Tuesday More information:

This popular chef left Miami for Broward. Now he's opening an Asian smokehouse in Wynwood
Chef Raheem Sealey, famous for his time in the kitchen at KYU and his beloved barbecue spot Drinking Pig, has found his way back to Miami. In a partnership with Forward Hospitality Group, Sealey is opening a new Wynwood restaurant called Shiso, an Asian smokehouse that blends the flavors of wood-fired barbecue and the Caribbean (Sealey grew up in St. Croix). The restaurant, which opens March 28, is a return to Miami for Sealey, who in 2024 opened J&C Oyster in Hollywood along with owner Cesar Cifuentes and chef Monika Dominguez, also a veteran of KYU. Sealey, who has also worked in the kitchens of Pao by Paul Qui in Miami Beach and Zuma in Miami, said that he's excited about the return to Miami. Wynwood has changed tremendously since his early days there, but he views Shiso as good way to return to the Miami scene. 'Shiso means a lot to me,' he said. 'It's an opportunity that came to me at the right time in my career and is a culmination of being able to work with some of the top talents I've had the privilege of meeting in my professional journey. 'Shiso reflects my culinary inspirations and how they've impacted me at different times in my life. it's an honor to have a project I can call my own.' Sealey has long been known for the Korean fried chicken he perfected while he was at KYU. In what feels like an homage to that dish, a Miami favorite, is Shiso Chicken Please, a Cornish hen that comes with one half smoked and the other half fried and served with white barbecue sauce. Another signature dish is oxtail gunkan, smoked barbecued oxtail layered with pickle relish and rice, a dish wrapped in nori paper. The restaurant will also serve a selection of Japanese dishes, including sushi bites like uni cornbread and scallops. There are also a variety of fish and meat options that don't involve barbecue. Designed by Lambrini Palmieri-Schwartz of House of L, the restaurant itself is dark and stylish, with an open kitchen, two bars and a rooftop lounge. There's also a 15-seat chef's counter that offers its own version of traditional omakase (meaning the menu is chef's choice). The space's exposed concrete beams are decorated with graffiti, a nod to Wynwood's past as a playground for artists. You'll also see a street art mural on your way to the 6,500-square-foot rooftop space, home to a 35-seat racetrack-shaped bar. There's a retractable roof to protect you and your drinks from the elements, as well as semi-private dining cabanas that are surrounded by greenery and palm trees. There are even commissioned works from Wynwood artists in the bathrooms. Shiso Where: 239 NW 28th St., Miami Opening: March 28 Hours: 5 p.m.-close Tuesday-Sunday Reservations: Resy More information: or 786-559-1706
