For one, though I don't recall reading this on the Miami Spice page, they limit Miami Spice to groups of 2 or more. I have no problem paying for good food as my 1300+ reviews indicate but I do have an issue with quality. I'd been curious about this spot for awhile, and decided to take advantage of M.S. to sample my asian food fix. However, I was not impressed and think I will stick with my usual Asian spot (waterfront as well, on the other side of the causeway). My appetizer was a single skewer chicken satay with a peanut sauce. The sauce was slightly sweet (I liked!) And served with a side of spicy sauce. A little small for the price but OK. My main was their Beijing chicken. This was $38 for a small plate of essentially cubes of sweet and sour chicken, with no side garnishes. The taste was comparable with my neighborhood chinese joint, nothing spectacular. Speaking of sides, and since I'm allergic to shellfish, I was offered a vegetable rice with some eggs. What I was served was white rice with a few pieces of green onions. This had no eggs, no other vegetables, no soy sauce, none of anything. This was white rice even I could make. Oh and that Mr. Chow hot sauce served with my app? It disappeared when they cleaned out those plates. They offered dessert or coffee, but at that point I wasn't feeling anymore overpriced "chow". Basically you're just paying for decor, location and the greetings of the wait staff as you walk in. I'm still hungry! read more

I love the Miami Mr. Chows location. We stayed at the W, so we had to make a stop. The place is stunningly gorgeous. Staff is in crisp white, and the outdoor space is just breathtaking. We opted to eat outside. Food was amazing as always, service, ambiance. Hands down this is one of my favorite spots in Miami to eat. read more

It would have been 1 star but this was during COVID.. seated 40 minutes late after reservation, tables weren't socially distanced. I didn't get my cocktail the first time and it took another 30 min before I did. They never came back asking others if they wanted a refresh of cocktails. But, geesh .. the food was bomb and people were nice.. but, they either need to limit reservations or make sure their is adequate staff. read more

Mr. Chow - Chinese Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I feel the people that give a low rating of Mr Chow's either don't know or understand the legend of this landmark London restaurant. From the minute you walk in this opulent interior you are greeted warmly. My suggestion-talk to the staff and let them know what you're looking for. They are knowledgeable and super helpful. While their wine by the glass selection is limited, they let me taste a couple before I decided. Having been to Mr Chows in LA and London, this was the best for sure. read more

WOW this is complete scam. Portion size is so small not even appetizer, but they charge for main course. Duck was a joke 1/4 of portion. Main agenda of all waiters is to put as much as possible water in your glass because each bottle is $10.... Take your money to different place!!! read more

Food was good. Good vibes. The wait time of hour and a half almost 2 was deff not a vibe. Service was good

Don't waste your time or your money. Completely and thoroughly terrible. Bad in every way. Food: Panda is 10x better. Our filet mignon was so bad I don't know how to explain it...sort of like beef flavored ramen noodle seasoning coating the meat and it was raw with this thick disgusting gravy on it. Chicken satays: vomit inducing: they coated them in some weird red stuff then drowning in a thick white sloppy sauce: horrid. Service: they hover and stalk you: way too much staff and all they do is watch every move you make! You can't get 5 solid minutes without someone walking over and asking you dumb questions. Our bill was $500+ ($175 bottle of champagne was good) It would have been better to go to Panda Express for a good solid meal and then donate $450 to anyone in need. I regret walking into this place, yuck! read more

I do not recommended this restaurant the food is overpriced and taste plain. Do not come big waste of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The service is top notch, they have a ton of staff working. Food is okay, feels a bit outdated (decor and food) but still good. Wouldn't be jumping at the chance to go back, but happy to pop in if I'm staying in the hotel and want something close. read more

Not sure why the ratings aren't that great. We had the 5 course meal for two including the duck, everything was so good! The spicy green shrimp was my fav. The drinks were absolutely delicious & the staff were extremely attentive and helpful, especially to make recommendations and break down the menu. We got to see the noodles being cut by the chef and it really was all a fantastic experience! The restaurant itself is in the hotel lobby of the W, and the whole area is really just a VIBE. Perfect for a date night, or special occasion. Highly recommend, and would be happy to come again! read more

Now this is one fancy Chinese restaurant! Located in the W, Miami Beach, Mr. Chow lived up to all the hype in terms of a beautiful restaurant with impeccable service and food that was quite tasty. We were a large party so when we walked in, there were no less than 6 people standing around our table ready to help us with our chairs and napkins and make sure we got settled properly. Next up came the guy with the "trolley of champagne". Now the prices on these babies will send you to the poor house so order carefully or do what we did and ask for the menu and just order a bottle of Veuve ($145) although I did like the trolley idea. Next up the menu. There was some confusion on how to order. What I finally ascertained is that it is set up family style, so our server suggested we order a few items from the top of the menu (starters) and a few from the entrees. I don't know who said on here that the portion size is small but that wasn't the case. We also had a vegetarian in our group and they were able to quickly make adjustments so that this person had the same experience as the rest of us. The duck was a full duck, cooked to perfection with crackling skin and deboned table side. The spicy beef was a huge plate of pieces of spicy meat. The potstickers had about 20 on the plate and the lettuce wraps were abundant with more than enough wraps and filling. Even the fried rice was plentiful. I'm thinking that because we were a large group, they plan it for how many people are at the table but we had a ton of leftovers of everything! Good for us cuz the food was very tasty! For dessert we went with the coconut cheesecake and the chocolate cake. Perfect to pair with a glass of port. Our servers were on their game and no question or request went unanswered. These are trained servers who are looking to anticipate your need before you even have to look around to ask someone. Not a cheap date by any means but if you are looking for a bit of Miami glam, you need not look any further than Mr. Chow. read more

If you are looking for a fancy night out and are sick of the steak houses, this is a great alternative. Great service and ambiance, (waiters wearing tuxes has that high class feel). A great date night/anniversary place. Food is pricey, but we would come back. The overall experience was great. The duck was amazing, shrimp dim sum, crab soup, all above par. I don't go out to save money, I go out to have a great time. This met my expectations. read more

Mr. Chow - Duck, Spicy Pork, Shrimp Fried rice. Very good! - Chinese Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

If I could give this restaurant negative stars I would. Where do I start? We chose to dine here because we were guests at the W and we wanted a nice but convenient location to celebrate my 35th birthday before going out for the night. We arrived about 10mins late for our 8:30pm reservation. Upon arrival we were told by the hostess (who was definitely not trained in hospitality) that we would have to wait until a table opened up. There was no other information provided as to when we would be seated despite having a reservation. We continued to wait for over 1 hour to be seated for a reservation which is outrageous. We would periodically check in with the hostess who would blatantly ignore us or be dismissive towards us or if she finally spoke, did not offer any real information or update. Yet, other customers would arrive after us and be seated immediately. When we were finally seated almost an hour and a half later, there were no napkins at our table, no water, no menu. These are all items we had to flag down a waiter to bring which took a while. Within minutes of finally receiving the menu, our server decided to promptly appear and command us to place our orders immediately because the restaurant was busy and if he did not take our orders then, we would be subject to even more waiting. We rushed through and placed our orders quickly without having time to properly review the menu. My appetizer came out. We waited for a while and my companion's appetizer still did not arrive. By this time I was famished and began to eat. I finished my appetizer and her app had still not come out. My appetizer, the chicken satay, was pretty bland and felt like they microwaved an item bought at Trader Joe's (and even that would have been more flavorful and authentic). We had to flag down a waitstaff to ask about the missing appetizer (shrimp roll) because our server failed to check in on us even once after taking our order. We waited for almost an hour and finally our server appeared to let us know our entrees were ready and would be right out. We still had not received the appetizer. At this point, we were beyond frustrated with the restaurant, the staff, the whole experience and asked him to just box our food so we can take it up to our room. I kid you not, it took them almost an additional hour to box our food to go despite the server saying it was being brought out when he initially came to our table and we made the request. To make matters worse, he stood directly next to our table when he advised the manager on duty that there was an issue at our table because we asked for the food to go without touching it. The manager simply waved his hands, said something to the effect of it doesn't matter, and walked away. When we finally received our food and brought it to our room, we were too exhausted from the almost 3+ hours of waiting and frustrated by the overall horrible experience to want to eat but tried anyway. Both of our entrees (the prawns and the velvet chicken) were awful. The portions were small and the food was lacking any flavor. There seemed to be no effort or thought put into creating the dishes. We ended up throwing both meals in the trash. I've been to countless restaurants all over the US and internationally and this is by far the absolute worst restaurant I have ever been to. Everything from the staff to the actual food was abysmal. Literally nothing about this experience was good, or even marginally decent for a business to still be in operation. I would never set foot in another Mr. Chow's establishment again. read more

Wow. NEVER COME HERE A Russian hooker took me Wish I would have looked this place up before I came. Probably the worst pricy food I've ever had in my entire life. Chicken skewers were absolutely disgusting... so bland no flavor. Tasted like boiled chicken with no season? So gross. It's like nothing was seasoned... portions were small.... Also they kept trying to upsell me telling me I didn't order enough food. Like wtf? You don't know how hungry I am, can you shut up and just get what I asked for? Jesus it's just so bad. DO NOT COME HERE EVER read more

The worst, most overpriced Chinese food I've ever had. Save yourself the trouble and literally hundreds of dollars and go to Panda Express. Much better food. $46 for a small plate of overcooked chicken chunks. I mean, come on. Also, what a bizarre collection of humans. read more

Not so great quality of food cooked at Michelin rated prices. There are way better options in Miami to come for subpar food because rent may be too high for them. I don't know what's going on, but nothing we ate was worth the price. I'd skip this if possible and head somewhere with better food. Ambiance was nice and the busboys were on point, hence the two stars. read more

A friend was in town and invited me for dinner. As he just heard P. Diddy's song "so into you", he made a reservation at Mr. Chow. I was excited as I had never been here, but also nervous as the reviews are variations of good and bad. I found street parking in front of the hotel. The entrance is next to the W hotel entrance. The hostesses welcomed me. My company was sitting behind them waiting for me. We were guided to our table. I love how staff is dressed so nicely in white and are very professional and polite. It feels like a European dining experience! We get a small table at the end of a long row. It is cute but you sit soooo close to the people next to you. So be aware there is no privacy for your conversations unless you have one of the bigger group tables. The interior is gorgeous with all the lights. The place is large and very busy. We get assisted immediately. I have a hard time hearing my company across the table as it is so loud inside. The food is delicious. We order lobster, prawns, lobster shumai, beef, shrimp, sides. All is delicious. The glazed prawns with walnuts are my favorite! The sides don't have much flavor, the rice with mushrooms has none but is meant to be mixed with the main course. The mixed vegetables also have hardly any taste. But overall I liked the food. Experience is ok. They tried to make it fun by announcing the chef was going to make pasta, we got to see it but I was not that impressed. I did enjoy the silence during his show:) Food is great, service is excellent, but for romance, go somewhere else! read more

First of all-the reviews on open table are so widely different that I had to double check to make sure it was the same restaurant For us -the restaurant was five stars We ordered 4 appetizers only -dumpling noodle, walnut shrimp, mr chow noodles and chicken lettuce. All were too notch and well balanced The service was incredible and attentive Well done!! The portions are small plate size and are expensive but reasonable for MIAMI Beach. The place is in the W hotel and is easy to get Don't come here With kids or expect garden variety Chinese. read more

Food is really bad. Even the simple noodle is tasteless. The service is bad and delayed. Extremely overpriced for the food. Everyone is better off if this restaurant shuts and a better one opens up at the W hotel. Do not go read more

Mr. Chow - Chinese Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Let me tell you something I haven't eaten at Mr chow for a few years now. I went last night and there is no reason ever someone should have something bag to say. Service was top notch. I only Remember one of the gentleman's name which Im sorry but Santos and everyone were all a pleasure. Food was on point like never before! Chicken Satays were double the size of what I remember. Water dumplings were perfect, walnut shrimp was nuts like so good the shrimp was so fresh and bouncy fried perfectly, Bartender was skilled and made perfect cucumber martinis. Which I'm guilty of having too many and forgot to take pictures of food lol. Drunken fish is exactly how I remember love those wood ear mushrooms. I didn't try the bejing chicken or lamb shank but my friends say best they have had from chows. The ambiance is always perfect. Sexiest Chinese restaurant in the world. Moral of the story, people complain about the Miami location sometimes but I have to disagree. Eaten over 100 times there and it was always amazing. Mr Chow runs a tight ship and his restaurant are dedicated to great technique and quality which shows. Looking forward to coming back read more

Mr. Chow - Cucumber Martini - Chinese Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Oh boy... Where do I begin? I've been in Miami for a few years now and I've been wanting to come to this restaurant since getting here. A friend of mine (who had also been wanting to try it) and I decided to give it a try for my birthday. The reason this experience even got 2 stars is because the staff is outstanding! I've never been greeted by so many people on the way to a table in my life! They were so welcoming and helpful. I loved that as part of their Covid precautions, they had plexiglass walls between booth tables. We sat at a booth. This is when things started to go downhill. We ordered drinks and I inquired about a couple of items on the menu. I was later informed that one of the items I asked about was not available that night. When we ordered, we were informed that everything was shareable. If that were really the case, that would explain the price but that's not the case at all. Additionally, one of the sides that my friend was planning to order was also not available. While we were waiting for our food the server came out to inform my friend that yet another side item which she ordered was also not available but made a recommendation for something that in the end worked out better. Just before the food came out, our sever came by an turned on the heating lamp that was under the center of the table. I'm thinking that's cool. The food comes and doesn't look anything like shareable portions. I essentially paid $50 for a single serving of chicken and she paid $50 for single piece of fish. All of the sides were about $12 including the white rice. Even still, I'm gearing up for dessert! The server comes by to check on us and I mention dessert which point he explains there was no dessert that night. He's apologizing and I'm looking at him and blinking waiting for the joke to end, except that it wasn't a joke at all. They really had no dessert that night. Upon further investigation, I was informed that the delivery truck was involved in an accident and therefore they did not receive their dessert. I was dumbfounded. I feel bad for the driver and said a little prayer for him but that was just the final straw. Nice restaurant. Great service. Great location. Good Food. But severely overpriced and not prepared for full service. A real disappointment overall. read more

Food was tasty, the chef and his noodle presentation is always entertaining and still has me questioning his witchery lol. I was turned off that we couldn't charge our dinner to our room (we were staying at the W, which is attached to Mr. Chow) and that we had to wait for all 8 of us to be present to be seated. 7 showed up the 8th person was 30min. late. I'd get it if this was a course meal but it's not and we could always order more... ... also that tactic is so "Sex in the City/1990", let's get to 2019 guys! read more

This was my 4th time dining at Mr. Chow in South Beach, and unfortunately my last. The only reason that this review isn't receiving one star is because part of me is sympathetic to the pandemic and challenges that restaurants across the country are encountering. Service: The service was sub-par. After ordering our meal and appetizers, we asked if we ordered enough food and the waiter said he thought so. We asked if we could order more if we wanted to, and we were notified that if we wanted to order more food after our initial order that it would take one hour...pretty excessive, but luckily there was no desire to order additional food. Food: Reviewed by item below. Mr. Chow Noodles (vegetarian): these noodles absolutely lacked any sort of taste. They tasted like plain spaghetti. I've had these a few times in the past, and was completely disappointed compared to what I had during my previous times. Squab with lettuce: these were ok. Green Prawns: these were good, highlight of the meal. Velvet chicken ($43): this was the most confusing dish. For $43, you would expect a decent amount of chicken, but this dish consisted of one piece of chicken diced up with vegetables. There was also no taste. Believe it or not, despite the small size of the portion, this dish wasn't even finished between four people. Gambler's Duck: DO NOT take a gamble on this dish. The "duck" looked like it was ran over by an 18 wheeler and was so dry and burnt. If you are craving duck in the Miami area, I suggest you hop on 395 and go straight to Komodo. Drinks: You would think for ~$17 a drink, these would be better than average. My friend ordered a whiskey that was half water and half whiskey. My fiancé ordered a tequila on the rocks, but got a tequila soda. As I sit in bed and write this review, I have my fiancé complaining that she is still hungry. Bottom line: There are dozens of restaurants in Miami that you can have a great meal at, but this is not one of them. read more

Went here tonight. Expensive, and easily the worst asian in mia. Nothing stood out, had pork rib, noodles (spaghetti bolognase), overcooked spicy steak, and 1oz spicy pork that was 10oz vegetables.

I booked a one person reservation at Mr. Chow due to my boyfriend flight late arrival. I had absolutely the best experience and it was all due to my waiter Rodriguez.

Mr. Chow - The best waiter Rodriguez. - Chinese Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Once again, Mr Chow was chosen as a pick for Miami Spice. The head maitre-d will show you to your seats. The wait staff greets you as you pass by. They are quick to serve the guests in an outstanding fashion! The Miami Spice menu changed a bit from last year and includes a glass of wine for $10. My favorite dishes are the Beijing chicken (chicken with candied walnuts) and the Drunken Fish (moist fish cooked in wine). Of course we stayed until 9 for the noodle show! If you do decide to dine here for Miami Spice, a group of 4 or more is ideal. Each person chooses 1 item from the first course (of 4 options) and second courses ( 4 options). The dishes are served family style and is large enough for the no of people at the table. The W hotel has valet parking and a parking lot (1.50 / hr) beside it. read more

Mr. Chow - Miami Spice menu - Chinese Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

If Mr. Chow had existed in a certain city, undoubtedly there would be about a 100 or so reviews reiterating that this is not authentic "chinese" food (see New York Yelps). Thank you to Miami yelpers and tourists for not overstating the obvious. This place is easily 3.5 stars, just only based on the location and decor. It is right in the gorgeous W hotel, they hosted our large party after a photo shoot (400+ people) in their patio and indoor areas. Beautiful candles and flowers on the tables and billowing white linen curtains surrounded us. There were servers in abundance, and swarming around us like bees. To set the mood they had great music playing in the background. We were served family style with a first course, main course and dessert. None of the dishes were particularly amazing, but some were leagues better than the others. The better dishes: Crab claws with gambei (a towering plate of crab claws) Lobster and sea bass ( I have never seen a restaurant be so generous with lobster claws) Glazed Prawns with candied Walnuts (the most unique dish there, with its sweet and crunchy texture). Lettuce Wraps The less than good: Drunken Fish-nope this fish was sober. Absolutely zero flavor. Ma Mignon-Overcooked, no pepper, no taste. The chocolate cake and coconut cake for dessert was basic, and even though oranges soaked in grand marnier sounds awesome, they ended up tasting like mandarin oranges soaked in grenadine. The pasta chef entertained us after the meal with a hand pulled noodle show. Basically making thousands of long (by long I mean several feet) noodle strands in just a few minutes from a ball of dough. I can't speak to how much the final bill was or what each entree cost, but I can tell expect this to be a three digit dinner tab for each person. Come here for your fancy night out in Miami, if you're a tourist, spot a couple of celebs, ballers and blow some change, but don't expect a mind blowing culinary experience. read more

Ridiculously expensive average chinese take out food. Literally the worst dinner ever. Literally can feed the street cats with that. Total rip off. Service was good but that wont give it a second star unfortunately. I dont even understand how this survives in such a prime location and with so much competition around. Maybe because its the only chinese place idk. Never again. read more

I wanted to try Mr. Chow because of its interesting background and I am from China. Reminds me of food I knew growing up in China. Another reason is that there is a paucity of Chinese restaurants in SOBE. All servers wore white dinner jackets, bow ties, polished, beautiful hostesses, impeccable service. However, the food is no better than an above average chines restaurant in some of the bigger city Chinatowns, and definitely not even close to the best eateries in Chinatown. Given the exorbitant prices, the value is simply lacking unless one needs to feel the need to be pampered in a corporate style high end restaurant which is a dime a dozen in SOBE. read more
