Found them on Instagram and started following them. They are new and fine tuning everything. Finally made it. On the west side of Groovy Pizza so you can use the same free parking lot. Hallway from back door to restaurant needs to be cleaned up from all the clutter. Same with some claw machine in the corner. The minute we sat down we were served kimchee and water. Great service. The hot and sour soup, the dumplings, calamari (great crunch and lightly salted), and noodle dishes were excellent. We tried the crab and pork soup dumplings and just the pork and we highly recommend. The soup dumplings do not come in soup, there is liquid inside, so peel them off the paper carefully. Music and decor lovely. Staff and owner great as he came over to explain the restaurant. ONLY complaint is that the ragoons and calamari should come with a basic sauce. We had to ask for it and the ones offered did not enlighten the appetizers. Was told it did not come with sauce because they do not know what people like. You need to have a basic one when served. Try a teriyaki or tempera sauce and bring it with the appetizer. We loved the experience and will be back and back and back again....
Read moreAfter living in Miami for two years, this was by far the worst dining experience I've had here. When we entered the restaurant, no one greeted us, so we had to find a place to sit on our own. Since there were three of us and we needed to combine tables, no staff came to assist us, so we had to move the tables and chairs ourselves. After sitting for a long time, we had no utensils or water, and later realized we had to scan a code to order. After placing our order, we tried to ask a server for water, but no one paid attention to us, so we ended up doing everything ourselves. Given that good Chinese restaurants are rare in Miami, we were really looking forward to this meal, but it was a huge disappointment. The portions were small, the food was overly salty, and everything was loaded with MSG. Throughout the meal, someone kept asking if we were finished, which was the only thing they said to us the entire time. Even when it came time to pay, no one spoke to us, and we waited a very long time before finally going to the front desk to...

It takes quite a lot for me to make the effort to give a place a bad review, but this is easily the worst dining experience I’ve had in years. The staff did not greet us or help us with seating so we had to put our tables together.
While some of our food came out in less than 10 minutes, it took over an hour and a half for other items ordered at the same time. The soup, fried rice and pan fried dumplings were OK, but the chongqing chicken’s flavor was a mix of expired Cheerios, Fabuloso & vinegar. The dumplings came out an hour after the order was placed and the crispy chicken wings came exactly an hour and a half after we ordered, well after we ate the rest of the food and were full. We tried to cancel these later items but they insisted we must still continue with the order.
The managing staff simply did not care about the timing of the orders and gave attitude when asking for updates. Our server was apologetic as it was out of his control.
Worst $160...
