Kung Fu Chicken Announces Expansion in Miami Market

Following the successful debut of its Miami Beach location earlier this year, Kung Fu Chicken will bring its signature Asian-style fried chicken to Kendall this fall, marking the fast-casual brand’s fourth South Florida location and the latest milestone in its rapid expansion across Miami.

Founded by Chef Yu Bi and her husband and business partner, Dr. Tingjun Lei, Kung Fu Chicken has built a devoted following for Asian street food-inspired menu rooted in the flavors and hospitality traditions of Chef Yu Bi’s upbringing in Sichuan, China. The pair met while studying hospitality at Florida International University before launching 107 Taste in 2016 and Cajun Boil in 2018. The duo has cultivated a loyal following both online and in person, generating millions of social media views showcasing signature chicken dishes, house-made sauces and colorful crystal boba beverages.

Spanning 1,200 square feet, the Kendall location will seat 30 guests in a bright, modern dining room that reflects Kung Fu Chicken’s playful identity. Crisp finishes and distinctive brand elements create a lively backdrop, anchored by the restaurant’s iconic “KUNG FU” feature wall and a playful mural of its mascot, JoJo. The space is designed to accommodate both grab-and-go guests and dine-in customers, with convenient on-site parking.

“Opening in Kendall feels especially meaningful to us because this community brings us back to where so much of our Miami story began,” said Chef Yu Bi. “Everything we create at Kung Fu Chicken is inspired by the flavors, techniques and traditions I grew up with, and we’re excited to share that experience with even more guests.”

The menu will feature Kung Fu Chicken’s lineup of Asian street food-inspired favorites, including the Classic Chicken Sandwich ($9.99), made with crispy chicken marinated for 24 hours in Chef Yu Bi’s proprietary spice blend, and the new Kung Fu Wings, featuring crispy Chinese-style chicken wing flats available in a variety of house-made flavors, including the new Spicy Soy Garlic. Additional offerings include Asian-inspired sides such as Cucumber Salad ($3.99), featuring crisp cucumbers tossed in a sweet, tangy and garlicky dressing.

Distinctive house-made sauces and seasonings help define the Kung Fu Chicken experience, including Spicy Soy Garlic, Kung Fu Sauce, Honey Garlic, Sweet Sriracha and Szechuan Ma La Powder, a Sichuan-inspired blend known for its tingling heat. Guests can also enjoy tropical smoothies, including the Mango Coconut Smoothie ($6.99) and Strawberry Coconut Smoothie ($6.99).

Kung Fu Chicken Kendall will be located at 12536 SW 88th St., Miami, FL 33186. It will be open Wednesday through Monday from 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and closed on Tuesdays. For more information, visit eatkungfuchicken.com or follow @eatkungfuchicken.
