Bamboo Garden III

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 rice noodles with seafood, stocked with shrimp, scallops, squid, and lobster - are big enough for four, as is terrific hot-and-sour soup. Gelatinous mango pudding is a dessert alternative to fortune cookies. Takeout and delivery.
