Top Best Chinese Restaurants in South Beach

"Restaurants Chinese Midtown. Chef and restaurant owner Richard Hales serves modern, Chinese Sichuan cuisine at this casual but inviting restaurant in Midtown. He sources ingredients locally and isn’t afraid to push the envelope when it comes to proteins, like the gong bao rabbit, and preparations, including handmaking the noodles you’ll inevitably find yourself slurping."

"Sakaya, an innovative Asian fusion restaurant, has taken the city by storm with its creative interpretations of traditional Asian dishes. The moment they walk through the door, guests are greeted by the expansive menu, an entire chalkboard wall dedicated to sporting daily specials and menu items. Don't be afraid to ask the staff for help navigating the boundless choices."

"We certainly wouldn’t be mad if Miami got itself a few more solid dim sum options - but until that day comes, you can find us at Tropical Chinese pointing to random plates being pushed through the dining room on carts the size of baby elephants. This Bird Road favorite is where you’ll find Miami’s best dim sum and a roast pork bun we occasionally dream about. Dim sum is served seven days a week until 3:30pm."

"Find Chinese cuisine at its best at this spacious, airy restaurant. Devoid of all the typical decorative trappings, the minimalist interior at Tropical Chinese is always full of fans clamoring for some of the best dim sum in town. Cantonese and Mandarin dishes are specialties, and the menu is dotted with unexpected items ranging from early leaves of snow pea pods to fried chicken feet."

"Restaurants Chinese Ludlam / Tropical Park. Family-owned and in business for more than 30 years, Tropical Chinese is the neighborhood favorite for Hong Kong-style Chinese food, and the best dim sum west of the Palmetto. It’s busy most of the day but nothing beats the lunch rush in crowd size and offerings."

"Located in the Fontainebleau Hotel, the Hakkasan was a landmark moment for Miami when it opened in 2009. Not only did it exemplify the standard and quality that Miami dining had finally reached, it created a restaurant that would continue to raise the bar even more. Hakkasan has not disappointed the people of Miami in its decade of existence and is as popular as ever with locals and visitors alike, who flock to sample the excellent Cantonese cuisine, the award-winning wine list and bask in the delightful, opulent ambiance."

"Restaurants Chinese Miami Beach. This swanky Chinese restaurant inside the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel has the look of a sexy Asian parlor, though far less nefarious (unless it’s late-night, then anything goes). The food, however, is an above-board experience of expertly executed Cantonese dishes with a twist—think crispy duck salad and jamine-tea-smoked ribs."

"Restaurants Pan-Asian South Beach. A serviceable spot for lovers of Chinese and Japanese cuisine, this Pan-Asian spot has something for everyone in your party. Tanuki offers a ton of variety, especially in the dim sum department."

"Modern Pan-Asian eatery serving an extensive array of Chinese & Japanese fare in a chill setting. Note: Order directly at Tanuki's website and get a 5-10% discount. Menu:tanukimiami.com"

"Restaurants Chinese Wynwood. Commanding its own lively corner on the outer edges of a tightly packed Wynwood, this petite, dimly lit parcel serves up Chinese classics alongside a respectable wine list and just the right amount of scene. Its pink facade, hanging wicker lamps and elbow room only dining room make for a fun stop off before a night out, but Palmar’s blue crab fried rice topped with bean sprouts and a sticky 63-degree egg is reason enough to put in a reservation and brave the Wynwood crowds."

"As cool as its Wynwood locale, Palmar offers contemporary Chinese food with unruffled style. Guests enjoy a hefty selection of wine, beer, and dishes such as duck confit dumplings and guava and cheese spring rolls underneath the red glow of modish rattan lanterns. Available for dine-in or takeout."

"The restaurant takes traditional Chinese cuisine and turns it into something that locals and critics have fallen in love with. Some even say it’s the best Chinese restaurant in Miami. For starters, their dim sum is bursting with flavor, along with other colorful dishes."

"In business since 1991 and located at the rear of the hotel lobby, overlooking the Sealine Marina, this elegant Chinese establishment has earned a solid reputation for its attentive tableside service, white tablecoth-and-fresh-flower decor, and consistently excellent Hong Kong-style Cantonese cuisine. On one side, you have a view of the sunken kitchen sealed by a glass wall, where you can watch the expert chefs whip up masterful concoctions. On the other side of the open, airy dining room, you get sprawling views of Biscayne Bay and the Venetian Isles."

"Restaurants Chinese Omni. This nondescript, banquet hall-style restaurant does Chinese food for Americans, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if exotic cuisine isn’t your thing. Don’t miss Tony Chan’s Peking duck and its fried fish drizzled with the chef’s special sweet-and-sour sauce."

Meaning basil in Italian, the restaurant was named after the first job owner Carlos had to do in the new eatery.
