I'm so happy I had the chance to dine here during my Miami trip!! I haven't had such delicious and fresh hotpot in so long. The portions are generous, the meat is SO fresh (I highly recommend the ribeye) and the flavors are authentic. The decor is super Chinese hahaha and the servers are helpful!

Note: The food here is pretty good. Really overpriced, but good. Was it worth the price? Not really, especially coming from someone who eats Chinese food every day and knows what authenticity is The reason for the two-star review is they're deceptive. We visited this restaurant for lunch because we've heard decent comments about the duck from friends. However, when we were ordering, the waitress tells us that they don't offer tap water because in the US there's no free tap water. We were like huh? She realized her mistake and then emphasized "you may not know this since you're visiting, but in Miami, it's common practice to not give free water."I grew up in Miami. When I called that out to her that I grew up here and I've had free water in the city my whole life at every restaurant establishment, she course-corrected and said "oh, well not Brickell. Brickell restaurants dont." When I pointed out that I come to Brickell as a regular to dine, she just said "well do you want this water or not" (note: it's $8 for a bottle of flat water). I think if a restaurant establishment wants to scam people via water that's fine. Just say you don't offer tap water and you charge, but don't make ridiculous excuses because you assumed we were foreigners/out-of-towners and think you can make a quick buck off of us. It really left a bad note for our dining experience. It's rather sucky because I do want to support Chinese businesses! But I don't stand for deception nor scammy techniques and false assumptions of dining guests. I'd much rather support the many other amazing local Chinese-owned businesses across Miami that have always warmly welcomed us with nostalgia and grace.

Food was subpar and the quality tasted old. Not even a thought of compelling anything. Service was lackluster, rushed, and uninformative. The ambience is all that there is to be said about this place. I highly recommend the Chinese Pavilion inPembroke Pines however, it is like day and night. In an obscure way, this was night.

Took myself here for Valentine's Day 23'. I was so excited to find an authentic Chinese place in Miami, finally! I was so tired of all the Asian-fusion ish places in FL. I got some dishes along with hot pot, mixed my fav sauce at their sauce bar. I think the total was a bit more expensive (120$+ for just myself). I did had 2 lychee martinis, and I'd have to agree with other reviews, the drinks are probably some of the worst I've ever had. However, I think the food is decent although not the best value compare to the value. But I'm glad to finally have an authentic Chinese place in Mia!

I love this place, I come here every week and always have a satisfying meal so I'm actually confused by the low rating. The food itself is actually great. I love their pecking duck, pork soup xiao long bao , shrimp dumplings, dry fried green beans. I get the pork hot pot while my bf gets the spicy one, we order a much of high quality meat, shrimp wontons, oyster mushroom, lotus root, pumpkin. I love the sauce bar I add more seasoning to my hotpot because I like to drink my soup. Service is fine, sometimes they're more busy than normal and you have to ask twice but I'm not bothered since I come frequently it's not always the case.

This place is located inside a shopping complex where the four ambassadors hotel is located so it was kind of hard to find at first. When you step inside, it doesn't feel like you were just in a shopping mall in the city of Miami next to the ocean for sure. I love the modern Chinese decor of the place. Maybe my experience was different, but I thought the service was not bad. The staff was very attentive to the table next to us providing them with lots of recommendation and checking up on them with every order they made about the food. We didn't need the same attention but the staff was nice and accommodating to us as well. All of the food we ate were delicious and flavorful. I never had any issues with it being too salty or overwhelming. All of the food were perfect to my liking. I enjoyed the duck and my favorite was definitely the fried eggplants. They also have a la carte hot pot but we didn't think it was quite worth the price but it looked really good as well. We'll definitely be back to try more.

Avoid this Place if You Want a Good Hotpot Experience in an Honest Establishment'This restaurant is extremely poor value for money, and downright dishonest in how it conducts business. I went with two other friends. Having been to more than three dozen other hotpot restaurants within the past few years, I knew what to expect. My friends did not. The first problem came when we got the menu. They have 2 ways to order meat for the hotpot. You can either (1) buy individual meats and vegetables a la carte, or (2) order from an extremely limited menu of meats and have it flat rated. Most hotpot and Korean BBQ restaurants have a flat rate (like $40) for unlimited meats from a set menu of maybe 8-12 meats. That is what I assumed option 2 was. However, after talking to the waitress, that is not what Option 2 was. She first pushed that option very heavily. When I asked for more details, she was very squirrelly about answering. She finally admitted that if you choose the flat rate option, you only get 1 option of meat and only get 1 plate of it for $45. It is not unlimited. The limited meats in that flat rate list mainly consisted of cheap ones like pork belly that cost $9 a la carte. I naturally asked (and assumed) that if you're paying $45 for pork belly in the flat rate option that you can pay $9 for on the a la carte menu, then the $45 plate would have significantly more meat. The waitress said no. The amount of meat on the plate depends on the mood of the chef, sometimes you can get just as much meat if you do the a la carte $9 plate as you would in the $45 flat rate option. She also said you could also get less meat. It took a lot of probing to get this information out of her which makes it seem like its a scam where they hope you pick the $45 flat rate meat option (as you would in most other hotpot places) and get surprised when you don't get more after the first plate. Apart from that, service was horrible. There were only 3 tables full on a Saturday night, yet they forgot our rice and noodles, did not refill water for 45 minutes, and did not check on us at all.This place reeks of a dishonest scam and there are so many better options available in South Florida.

I cannot express how amazing this place is. The food is delicious, the service was phenomenal and the ambiance was fantastic.We ordered Peking Duck, the hot pots and a little bit of everything with them. I had the pork broth and it was really good.I will be definitely back here, it was probably the best Peking duck I've ever had

Asian food is so limited in Miami. This is my go to restaurant for comfort food. I've only ever ordered hotpot which has always been good. It is a little bit on the pricier side.The service is good but sometimes they'll forget items you've ordered so you have to remind them. Overall it's a great restaurant for hotpot.

Quality meat. Good noodles. 6 choices of flavorful soup base. Great service. Love how safe the pots are installed and used, especially for young kids. Nice decor throughout the place with well used space. Restrooms are not inside the restaurant which actually might be a good thing. Huge TV in public space and each VIP dining room has its own TV for karaoke. Price is also reasonable given the area.Love. 5 stars well deserved.
