The Hollywood installation of this Miami-based Chinese restaurant might be the best. Make sure to ask for the small “Chinese” menu at Bamboo Garden III – it yields authentic goodies like kung pao frog’s legs and beef tripe with preserved mustard greens. Steamed whole flounder and Maine lobster – not to mention dishes like stir-fried […]

It’s been an awful day. Now, it’s getting dark. The rain is coming down. The exhaustion settles in. Those two rental movies on your passenger seat look awfully enticing. At times like this, the difference between good Chinese takeout and bad Chinese takeout is based on three factors: taste, price, and speed. China “A” aces […]

This traditional Chinese restaurant is known for its dim sum offering. China Pavilion, in Miramar, is a small, bustling restaurant with basic d
A perfect world? Maybe not always, but it comes close at Chinatopia. Proprietor David Chen and family, formerly of Wong’s in North Miami, serve some delectable pork chow fun and lobster in black bean sauce.

The Wans have been running Chinese restaurants around South Florida for more than 40 years, satisfying cravings for fermented black beans or Peking duck without inducing any Fear-Factor-type gag reflexes — no jellyfish or clotted pig’s blood. Ms. Wan is a presence at her new place — chic and sharp-eyed — and as always, the […]
Dragon City, a Hollywood Hong Kong-style Chinese restaurant minutes west of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, stays open really late but merits return trips at any hour. A simple, austere room with the usual hanging roast ducks and fish tanks along a wall is set apart via the sheer number of tanks filled […]
So your sizzling Latin mate is in the mood for a spicy dinner, the couple on the couch across from you are vegetarians, and your visiting sister and brother-in-law won’t try anything they haven’t eaten a thousand times before. Give Dragon Gate a call — it serves Miramar, Pembroke Pines, and Davie — and order […]
The single person and the takeout-Chinese restaurateur have an interesting relationship. With the barber and the mechanic, there’s banter. With bartenders, there’s chat. But with the Chinese takeout guy, there’s not much to say. You order, “Szechuan chicken, hot-and-sour soup, and an egg roll. For one.” He gives you the price. You arrive ten minutes […]
The menu boasts that this elegant Hollywood strip-mall eatery serves “the finest and latest in Chinese cuisine.” The latest can be found in only one dish, really – a moist fillet of salmon topped with ground pork, chopped peppers and green onions, and black-bean sauce presented on a bed of spaghetti. But the finest is […]
The Zhang family’s Gou Lou Cheung Chinese BBQ has the best Chinese roast meats in Broward.

Fans of pork rinds will understand the terrific crispy […]

Reopened under the aegis of a new family, this 20-something Hong Kong-style restaurant in a Tamarac strip mall remains essentially unchanged, much to the relief of local foodies addicted to the restaurant’s pan-fried noodles. The authentic flavors of Chinatown emanate from these dishes, and whole ducks, pork, and chicken, served barbecued, still hang on view […]
An authentic, New York Chinatown Chinese restaurant in an ill-lit Sunrise strip mall. Go figure. But you can count on two things to give it the right feel: the delectable Peking duck and the messy floor. Choose from the countless noodle soups and hot pots for a one-dish meal, debate over the assorted barbecue platters, […]
The Mai-Kai is easy to love. It’s not that its oversized tiki cocktails and Lobster Tahitienne are anything to write home about. It’s just that you can’t set foot in the place without succumbing to a deep enchantment: You’ve entered a waking dreamworld, part Blue Lagoon, part Monkey’s Paw. Maybe because it’s dark as a […]
Experienced Chinese food consumers can get soy sauce stains out of their undershirts, and they never let the faded photos of Hunan beef above the counter of a takeout eatery deter them. If the grub is going to be consumed elsewhere anyhow, atmosphere doesn’t matter; the truth is in the General Tso’s sauce. Leave it […]
For the longest time most people tended to think of all Chinese food in the same greasy, all-night delivery sort of vein. That started to change when somewhat swanky P.F. Chang

Aptly named — there’s gold under this rainbow. Creative touches transform even simple Chinese won-ton and duck-noodle soups into house specialties. Ditto for the shrimp-and-lobster dumplings, orange beef, cilantro scallops, and the mushroom trio — portobello, shiitake, and button varieties sautéed in garlic, soy, and sherry.
Red Ginger covers all bases with a pan-Asian menu that stretches from China to Thailand. The spacious restaurant is draped in steely grays with lipstick-red accents. The food showcases similar contrast. Chinese classics like kung pao chicken and Szechuan beef share space with wok-fried Thai soft-shell crab and spicy beef and lime salad. Sushi from […]
House specialties at Shhu Mei include a full rack of barbecued spare ribs served with steamed rice. Follow the meal with the sweetest dish on the menu: Bite-sized is also a pretty good description of this place; catering mostly to takeout customers. The tiny Oakland Park shop has only a couple of seats at the […]
Awash in pink linen tablecloths, the dining room at Silver Pond in Lauderhill is framed by assertive maroon wallpaper with a Chinese mural at one end and a wall of tanks at the other, with lobsters and Dungeness crabs on display. Small groups of Chinese families using chopsticks flank a dining room peppered with tourists […]
