China Grill Miami Beach

China Grill

Gimmicky theme restaurants are a dime a dozen in this country nowadays; places where decadent portions of food have become the norm, and too many seats are often crammed into too cavernous a space. Unlike most, China Grill is a more personal albeit stimulating experience, and one of the city’s most high profile gathering places.

They haven’t earned their spot at the top with fabulous public relations alone, though. Great service, attention to details, and a sophisticated, no-frills ambiance are the ideal backdrop for the finely tuned Pan-Asian concept cuisine. The real draw? It’s fun, it’s boisterous, there are enough barstools to go around, and the massive piles of Far Eastern cuisine are served in a uniquely personal way—family-style. That's what makes China Grill a popular locale for out-of-towners and locals alike.

Review:  One of my top two favorite restaurants to eat at in Miami. Some people may think it's a chain, but the only other one I know of is at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas and equally just as good. I picked this restaurant to take some clients to when I visited Miami and everyone loved and raved about it. We asked the waiter to make some suggestions for sharing such as appetizers and he said this may sound silly but get the duck salad and the calamari salad. I was hesitant being salads to share as apps, but they were huge and we couldn't stop eating them. My mouth is watering right now thinking about those two salads.

Review:  We spent, New Years Eve at China Grill and were thoroughly delighted. Not easy picking a venue to cater for varying ages from 21 to over 50 but this venue did the trick. All inclusive price sometimes leaves you trying to get a drink...not here....plenty of friendly, accommodating staff to make the night very memorable. If we could only be in Miami next year......

Review:  Great restaurant, great feeling and atmosphere, HUGE place.  No matter what dinning room you are put in, front, back, rear, side, whatever it's a great place.  Food is incredible but slightly over priced, even by crazy SoBe standards.  A++

Review:  I rarely dine at chain restaurants, but China Grill really is exceptional. My mouth is watering just thinking about the seared Mahi tuna. They have service down to a science and while some places tend to give you attitude, the customer really does come first here. It is a tad on the pricey side, but I would have paid double. It was that good. You'll be sorry if you don't give this place a shot.
