Suyo Gastrofusion

Finally got the chance to try this spot after living Uptown for a few years now (I'm late, I know!) I'm so happy to have a spot like this nearby. You can't tell how cool it is from the outside, but the space inside is so huge & unique. The different rooms showed the different vibes and uses for the space. Perfect for parties or any kind of celebration.

Now for the food- 10/10.
My bf & I only ended up getting a few appetizers and drinks which were filling enough. The duck mofongo was outstanding. We also got the duck bao buns which were delicious. I was referred to this place by a fellow foodie and love referring my friends when they're in the Bx. Looking forward to going back for a full dinner.

I so wanted to love this place based on the reviews, and the other couple I was with were equally exictied. We came about 7 pm on a Thursday night, and I was not sure we were in the right place. I am not sure if this plave knows what it wants to be? Is it a bar, a restaurant, or a nightclub? Insta posts show this lovely soft music/date plae...however you walk in and the lights are low, flashing lights, and they had an actual DJ (Leslie) that had the music so loud people were shouting at each other. My friends apple watch went off and told her "warning excessice noise volume."
There isn't even a dance floor, so I am not sure why in the world the music would be that loud. What was being played would have been fine (club music), just turned down.
Service - we were seated right away and then ignored by every server for over 20 minutes. The servers would walk by, look at us, and keep walking. We almost left.
Finally, a manager came by and asked if we had been helped and took our order. Apps came out in a decent amount of time, maybe 10-15 min, and they all looked good. My friend said her potstickers were good. We had the pork boa buns that had soggy bottoms and way overcooked pork (pork jerky). However, the pickled carrots on top were amazing. We also ordered the capellini steak. Which is steak, pasta, and mixed greens on top. It came out missing the pasta. When I asked the server, she said that is how it came, and "capenelli" means something else, but she could not tell me what it meant? I showed her a picture of what calenelli Pasta was, and she just shrugged - she did offer to go get a plate of pasta - we declined. My friend had several items missing off her dish. Which hey if your out of stuff, change your menu or just tell people - we get it. The supply chain is tough , but be honest.
The dessert was a cheesecake with strawberries ontop- the strawberries were still frozen (they should not have been) but it tasted good. Overall highs and lows but the music being turned up so loud, poor service, confused menu...not sure why this place is so beloved??

Came to this Asian Latin fusion 2020-2021 Michelin's Bib Gourmand award winning restaurant for a birthday celebration.
For an appetizer I tried the pork belly bao buns. I liked the sweetness of the red onions, crispiness of the cucumbers, flavors of the cilantro, and juiciness of the salsa. The bun was soft, fresh, and delicious.
For entree, I had churrasco peruano; Served with fries and Asian salad. It was good. I felt like more chimichurri sauce would have made it better and more flavorful, and a different side would have made it more filling. I tried my boyfriend's pork chop and mashed yuca. I'm a fan of yuca, it was good.
I ordered a spicy margarita and sidecar to drink. The spicy margarita was too boring in flavor and the side car was too sweet for me. I should have picked something from the drink menu instead.
We brought a birthday cake for dessert. Service was good. Ambiance was nice. The food was presented well. I hope my family suggests spots in the Bronx more often, such an easier ride than going to the city.

The menu is constantly changing. You never know what you could order and the host is not that experienced in telling you what's going on.

Can't stop raving about the food and drinks at this place! I will always recommend Suyo! Everything is good. EVERYTHING!

Love this place. Food is great, drinks are creative and also delicious! If you want a date night vibe come before 8pm on the weekends. There's a DJ (who is great) and once he gets going, it's dancing and singing along all night. Bar staff is also great and they're able to handle a full bar with ease.

Overall Thoughts: This is an innovative Asian-Latin Michelin Bib Gourmand spot in the Bronx with friendly service and a low-light, intimate vibe. The dish presentations were creative, aesthetic, and diverse in flavors, colors, and textures. I came to celebrate my partner's birthday and appreciated the care that the staff put into making it special. Definitely recommend this spot for a little brunch/dinner splurge or for special occasions. They also have live music that starts at ~8:30pm.

Food I tried:
- Confit Duck Mofonguitos (4/5): I liked the presentation of this dish and how it had many diverse textures-- with a soft, grainy mofongo base, crunchy pickled veggies, and tender duck. I felt the flavor of the mofongo base was a little bland though, but the duck itself was quite good and flavorful.

- Yakitory Tofu (4.3/5): This was a delicious vegetarian option with a nice tangy, sweet purée flavor. The tofu texture was perfect, with a crispy exterior and soft interior.

- Roasted Salmon (4.6/5): Enjoyed this one-- the salmon was tender, flaky and umami, and the fried rice was really good, full of flavor. I liked the tangy marinade which paired well with the neutral creamy avocado flavor.

- Chocolate Lava Cake (5/5): This was soft, rich, decadent, and delicious. Though they don't do complimentary birthday desserts, I ordered this cake with sparkler candles for $13, which they brought out for us as the live performer sang happy birthday.

Fun and funky place right near the train. Early dinner meant drink specials were still on, which was great. Food was delicious and service good.

Suyo is handing out good vibes and good service. As a parent, I try to get out as much as I can, and that means bringing my broke best friend. Suyo staff were very courteous and helpful from the moment I came in on a Tuesday during happy hour. Helping with my stroller was top tier, you hear me. The food was great. I tried tye Thai wings, Thai friend rice and my little one enjoyed it all including the fries.

Great ambiance as well.

This is a hidden gem of the Bronx. I wanted to gatekeep it and not post it but it would be an injustice not to tell everyone about this place.

The food here is phenomenal and possibly the best latin food i've had in New York City. the place is lively with music and has tv to watch the games as well.

I really admired the service everyone was kind and attentive to every detail. I plan on going back here in the next few days and try out everything!

A+ 100% come here for authentic and wonderful food!
