This is one of the best authentic Chinese restaurants in South Florida...period. My caveat to that is, there are not that many authentic Chinese restaurants in S. Florida. I've been here for Dim Sum twice and they had all the standard fare of dumplings, bows sp?, and egg rolls which were all very quality. I dropped in for lunch another time and I was able to fill myself with food as good as what I had back in DC. If you want to try real Chinese food, stop by the Panda Express next door. jk! But Panda Express is also awesome

Great dimsum place and clean!

the four stars is based on the whole experience inc the decor, the food (more scpeifically the dim sum) and the service... but here is the break down:-decor - 5 stars... updated when new management/owners took over few yrs ago... it's a large dining room w a partition that can be closed for a wedding, etc.-cleanliness - 4 stars... carpet is getting a bit too dirty from the heavy traffic but everything else is good inc the bathrooms which have also been updated-food (dim sum) - 4.5 stars... not bad, prob best in miami but a bit on the oily side... -faves: stuffed bean curd skin rolls, shrimp dumplings, siu mai, beef or shrimp rice noodle rolls, rice porridge w lean pork & salted egg and the phoenix claws!-food (authentic chinese) - 3.5 stars... oily and at times bland but the winter melon soup is my go-to "chicken soup" - faves: orange beef, mongolian beef, s&p squid-service - 3.0 stars... it's a toss up... sometimes it's good and other times not very attentive...-DO ask for the sriracha hot sauce (the clear bottle hot sauce w the green top!)-DO NOT tell your kids that the fish tank by the kitchen entrance are the same ones that end up on the lazy susan ready for consumption!-DO ask for chopsticks... esp. for dim sum and for noodles-DO come on weekends for dim sum - push carts come around you for visual ordering - no need to pull up your cantonese/chinese disctionary for translation... just point to what you want and enjoy!-DO make a reservation for big groups or if you planning to hold an eventthere is plenty of parking here... and on or around Chinese New Year, they hire a local martial arts team to come out and do the Lion Dance show and light up the fire crackers to help ring in the new year and bring you some prosperity! gom bui!

This place is the best for Dim Sum !

A scrumptious dim-sum brunch w/ Natasha and Sandra. We stuffed ourselves and shared all plates. The place fills up quickly. At noon, there was only one empty table. They serve dim-sum all week from 11:00-3pm but the carts only roll on Saturdays and Sundays. I've been there for dinner too. Excellent. A little difficult to communicate,(unless you speak Chinese,) so we ended up with a couple strange dishes but they were delicious anyway. I saw a couple small plates I want to try next time.

I am Chinese. I come here every other Sunday JUST for the dim sum. This is the best dim sum restaurant in Miami. I have been to many and been left disappointed. Only go for the dim sum on Sundays, not the other stuff.One time we ordered a sweet and sour pork and we told them it was still raw. They were mean when we told them that and were hesitant to do anything about it. When we got the dish back, it was obviously microwaved, soggy, and still not edible. If it is not dim sum, it is quite bad.The service is so-so, depending on the server you get. Some of the servers will give you attitude. There is this one particular waiter (skinny, kind of tall, with round glasses) who has the tendency to always ask if you are going to keep eating, but he does so in a tone that sounds like he wants to give you the check and he wants you to leave already.

Never fails... best dim sum in town!!!

Best dim sum that we've found down here in Mia. Service was exceptionally nice, it felt like my mom and her friends fussing over us to make sure we got enough to eat.The dumplings tasted fresh and not frozen. The sauces on such dishes as the tripe and short ribs were flavorful yet light and not too oily. I enjoyed myself so much that I also ordered some Singapore Noodles para llevar and it did not disappoint.Dim Sum TIP: order some vegetables with your dim sum meal, it will balance things out and make the meal even more enjoyable. Try cai lan (chinese broccoli), baby bok choy, or chinese spinach (rau cai in Viet).

Authentic dim sum served in pushing carts. Friendly service, highly recommend it!

This was the first Chinese restaurant I ever went to, and as a kid with very picky parents, this was also the only restaurant I ever really went to. True, I haven't gone in ten years, but my memory of the place is still fresh. I always looked forward to South Garden because they had the best dim sum, and I believe the only dim sum place in all of Miami at the time. Their steamed shrimp dumplings had me jumping in my car seat before we even got there. Their quail egg congee were absolutely delicious, my sister's absolute favorite. We always went here for family parties because this is the best Chinese place in Florida, or at least so I've heard. Love South Garden!

illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

It rocks . its awsome i love it. it is prety. cool.

Wow, the staff was very attentive to my needs. The food was as good as NYC Chinatown and was quick to my table. I can't wait to come back and try the authentic Dim Sum. I heard it is one of the best in town.
