Yip Wynwood — Restaurant in Miami

Dimsum maybe just street food to some but it requires technique and proper equipment. Yip has both plus good customer service so this equates to one of the best dim sum brunches in Miami.

We came around 12:15pm on a Sunday right after opening. FYI, Yip is located inside 1800 Lucky so it gets pretty packed the later it gets so if you want to snag a table, come early. The menu is divided into 3 categories: Steamy, Crispy or Both so it just made perfect sense for us to order from each.

We got the Shrimp Dumpling, BBQ Pork Bun and Shanghai Soup Dumpling from the Steamy. Flaring Shrimp Ballz and Fried Siu Mai from the Cripsy plus an order of Soft Shell Crab Bao and also on order of the Grande Shrimp Bao. Folks, there wasn't even one single thing that we didn't love. Each dim sum morsel was made fresh and tasty, the fried items were perfectly crisp and piping hot and both bao buns were just heavenly. These were clearly crafted with care and made with high-quality ingredients so I could see why the prices might discourage some patrons.

Even though this visit was a special treat, we would gladly come back and order the same items again because they are worth it! The dim sum from the steamy and crispy sections is about $6.50 per order and the bao buns are $9 per 2. And oh, we also had a dessert called Crispy Mini Bao with Lech Condensada. Wow! Simply scrumptious. We will...

It’s something about bad service that makes you never want to go back to a place. I went here for the first time a month ago. Ordered the shrimp dumplings. I would say about 3.5/5. However the service was HORRIBLE. The girl with the purple hair served me. She was very rude and just not friendly which I believe to be important in a customer service role. Not to add that when you sign, it adds a 20 percent extra gratuity. I didn’t mind, I work in the industry and know the struggle. But when you literally sit behind a screen to type my order and then bag it and then on top have the audacity to be condescending. You deserve zero.

Nonetheless, I came and returned because I was craving dumplings. I visited yesterday. My dumplings were horrible. They were over steamed. I mean just a complete waste of money. And I even found something black in one of them. TO ADD, the same girl with the purple hair.. more concerned about her own lunch than a paying customer. Please sit this little girl down and have a chat with her. She should not be in this industry with the attitude she has. If you’re truly unhappy with a job, please leave.

I will not be returning to this...

We are all about an Asian food hall and we found this spot inside 1-800 Lucky.

Covid-19: we were able to eat outside on the patio that was very empty.

We got the Shanghai Soup Dumplings, Char Siu Bao, and Crispy Mini Bao which came with a condensed milk dipping sauce.

Everything was delicious. The soup dumplings were smaller than others I've had, but still just as good. The Char Siu Bao were perfect. The Crispy Mini Bao were a great, unique dessert.

It's a little pricey. Each dish was very small and cost about $10. We spent over $30 for what felt like a few snacks.

1-800 Lucky is a must try food hall in my opinion and this place is worth checking out...
