A giant baby-shaped balloon floating above the entrance is how you find this Asian-Argentine restaurant in Palermo Soho, which tells you something about the room before you walk in. Everything inside is red, hung with lanterns, and loud in the best way. Argentine ingredients meet Japanese, Korean, and Thai technique, landing on a #21 spot on Latin America's 50 Best list. Sit at the bar facing the kitchen if you can.

How we scoreThe dishes from the writeups
-
Katsusando
“If you were to choose a dish that sums up Niño Gordo it would be the ever-popular Katsusando, made with brioche-style bread instead of shokupan and with beef steak replacing the usual pork.”
Michelin Guide -
Sweetbreads with miso and choclo
“Sweetbreads with miso and choclo (corn) are another original creation, while the spicy fried rice is both vibrant and highly satisfying.”
Michelin Guide -
Crispy karaage
“Think crispy karaage (fried chicken) dipped into salsa verde, or parrilla-grilled sausage with wasabi and tamarind.”
The 50 -
Pedro piña
“Wash down the courses with one of the excellent cocktails, such as the Pedro piña, made with rum, peach, coconut liqueur and vanilla.”
