The sweet smell of cakes a-bakin’ tickles your nose way before you step into Mary Ann Bakery, and you’d have to be subhuman to resist the urge to walk into this unassuming little spot tucked away on 163rd Street. The front window is filled with birthday and bridal cakes, and although they look (and probably […]
Chinese in Miami New Times
Showing 45 - 66 of 68
Everyone can use a little Asian persuasion every now and again, but Miami’s lacking in a proper Chinatown, Japantown, Koreatown … hell, any town a la the Asian continent. Luckily, Miami China City is a little town unto itself. From samurai swords and litchi juice to cast-iron tea seats and Hello Kitty suitcases, you’ll find […]
There has been an influx of high-end, gourmet Chinese food restaurants in Miami, but Mr. Chow is the original innovator of the trend. Mr. Chow has been cranking out pricey chicken satay and prawn toast since 1968 in London, with other well-known locations in New York City and Beverly Hills. Opened in 2009, the Miami […]
New Chinatown isn’t reinvented Chinese fare, as the name might suggest, but it does feature exquisitely fresh old-time Cantonese cuisine. Barbecue spare ribs are meaty, egg rolls crusty and propped up with a plethora of ground pork. Yatka mein soup (chicken broth filled with curly egg noodles) is great lunchtime fare. Deep-fried honey garlic chicken, […]
Do you want a wine that goes best with roast duck and pickled vegetables? Or maybe you would like to know which varietals pair well with dumplings and steamed buns. Fret not. No Name Chinese has the perfect bottle to go with thoughtfully sourced and executed Chinese cuisine that turns what was once familiar into […]

Novikov Miami is the first U.S. outpost of the Japanese-Chinese fusion eatery, with locations in London, Moscow, and Dubai. In Miami, the menu boasts 17 sections with dozens of plates. Robata items are perhaps some of the heartier fare on the menu. The Wagyu skirt steak, asparagus with soy sauce, and corn on the cob […]
You wouldn’t think there’s anything special about Peking One; it’s a three-table takeout spot with pink Formica walls. The menu, or rather, a series of photographs of typical dishes, sits above the counter. Boring-looking takeout d
Clad in white elegance and black lacquer floors, this room is as debonair as one might expect from a Chinese restaurant named Philippe. The space soars with supper-club sophistication, central focal points being a circular bar and a large window that offers peeks into the big, bright, spotless kitchen. The fare is fresh and tasty, […]
Tucked out of sight in a rear corner of this small Asian grocery store is a hidden gem: a glassed-in take-out counter that looks like a miniature version of one of the rotisserie windows you’d expect to find on New York’s Mott Street. And the housemade Chinese barbecue within – hanging ducks, strips of pork, […]
Proprietors Purwan and Irene Cheung have cooked and waited tables here since they opened Sang”s 19 years ago. Nowadays, the unchanged, basic-Chinese-restaurant décor is tired, but two important details stand out: Most of the seats are filled with Chinese people, and most of the plates are filled with rewarding Cantonese fare. There are two menus […]
You can find better Chinese food elsewhere, but Sango is unparalleled when it comes to serving up big portions of authentic, affordable, and delicious Jamaican cuisine. A rotating daily menu ensures fresh meals, but it also means you’ll have to consult the calendar when choosing which day to visit. Wednesday is jerk day, with succulent […]

Shing Wang signals the arrival of Miami’s first all-vegetarian Chinese restaurant and one of its few purveyors of Taiwanese shaved ice and bubble tea. The latter is a milkshake-like beverage made from powdered milk, sugar, tea, and choice of main flavoring ingredient (mango, taro, etc.); viscous pearls of black tapioca pile up in the bottom […]
The difference between Westernized and typical Chinese cuisine is crystal clear at South Garden Chinese, which serves both. One side of the menu offers Americanized goodies such as crab Rangoon, egg drop soup, and General Tso’s chicken. Flip the menu over and do as the Chinese do, with more complex traditional dishes. The crisp fried […]
One thing about Chinese cuisine in the City of Progress: You can always count on dishes with a touch of Latin flavor. Sun Wah knows what we are talking about. The family-owned restaurant serves “sunny fried rice,” the traditional Chinese dish modified with pineapple chunks for a sweet kicker. It is by far the most […]
Jerry Seinfeld once said, “Where there’s Chinese food, there’s leftovers.” That’s not necessarily true with all such restaurants around town, but it’s exactly what you get with Susie Lai when you’re hankering for some Chinese take-out. This place serves enough Szechuan to keep you fat and giggly for at least half a week. Tucked in […]
At Talde, the new Asian-American restaurant inside the Confidante Hotel, the chef and his crew – which includes executive chef Jeanine Denetdeel from Talde Brooklyn – dont take themselves too seriously. In fact, they want customers to know it’s OK to let loose. To facilitate that, they have the underground-club vibe down pat – from […]

This Indian eatery (which might also serve Thai, Chinese, Philippine, Italian, and/or Japanese food, depending on the season and the chefs’ vacation schedules) doesn’t serve Bombay’s famed regional chaats (snack foods). The menu covers only the usual Northern Indian/Moglai dishes found everywhere, and à la carte prices are no bargain. A daily lunch buffet, though, […]
With its sterile, glassed-in views of Biscayne Bay on one side and the kitchen on the other – and nary a hint of Chinese tchotchkes anywhere – the setting of this upscale old-timer (opened in 1991) seems better suited to slick rubber-chicken fundraising dinners than to ethnic eats. But Chan’s is one of Miami’s best […]
Nearly four decades into its existence, Tropical Chinese is still going strong. The dinner menu is chock full of offerings, from the traditional to the exotic. Appetizers include wok-fried, salt-and-pepper-style calamari, and the Peking duck is prepared daily. What’s more, this unassuming spot in a West Miami-Dade strip mall remains a go-to for the best […]
