DO NOT GO HERE! Yue Chinese in South Beach is a major trap serving overpriced pre-fabricated food backed by predatory tipping practices and rude service. We came in with a group of 4. Average dish prices were around $30, which we didn't mind paying IF the food was cooked fresh. Sadly, almost everything tasted like it came out of a frozen bag: Pork Soup Dumplings: Lukewarm on arrival, skin was thick yet broke apart easily, no broth whatsoever inside, and the meat smelled off. Sichuan Spicy Chicken: Not real Laziji. They literally used cheap, fast-food-style chicken nuggets and fried them up. Boiled Beef: Clearly a pre-packaged frozen meal just reheated and brought to the table. Crab Meat Tofu: Oversalted and sitting in a puddle of water. To make matters worse, they added a 20% automatic gratuity onto our bill without any notice on the menu. Mind you, our server literally ignored us the entire night--we didn't get a single water refill. When we brought up the mandatory tip and lack of service, we were met with pure attitude: "It's like this everywhere around here, take it or leave it." Extremely disappointing food quality and appalling customer service. You are paying high-end prices for frozen meals and getting disrespect in return. read more

My friend and I were walking down Espanola Way looking for another appetizer/dinner option and saw this place and decided to try it out. First off, it was not busy at all and service was very slow. We ordered pork soup dumplings, shrimp dumplings, and beef dumplings. The shrimp dumplings were the best, the others were just okay. The pork soup dumplings did not have enough soup and the skins were dry. The beef ones were also a little dry but not too bad. It took a while to get the check. If you want Chinese food, it's a fine option, but there are better places in the area. read more

Ordered dim sum - the soup dumplings didn't have soup in them. The skins were too thick and had holes, perhaps that's where the soup went. Service was good. Ambiance outside was fine. read more

If you like dumplings, then you have to check out Yue Chinese! We came for happy hour, where the list of dumplings (and everything on the hh menu for that matter) for $5.95 is plentiful, and man was everything excellent. If you want to try a truly unique dumpling, you have to try the black truffle and beef one. It's stunning to look at, with gold glittered all over the top. And it was so juicy. In fact, every dumpling was juicy and luscious. If we had bigger appetites I would've tried everything on the hh menu. If you are in South Beach looking for some authentic, delicious and economically priced food, then you have to check this place out! read more

I stopped by Yue Chinese on Española Way and really enjoyed my visit. The ambiance is beautiful colorful, fun, and super welcoming. The decor definitely adds to the dining experience.

There is no reason why this spot should not be packed. It's beyond excellent and I'm not an Asian food aficionado. My beau had beef and broccoli twice now and he said it's the best he has had. As a vegetarian, I ordered the happy hour taro soup dumplings which were out of this world. And I ordered eggplant and tofu. Everything was prepared exquisitely. They have an all day happy menu of lite bites available plus drink specials until 7. Please support them and allow the excellence to thrive. read more

Ordered the cumin lamb and the shrimp & crispy lace dumplings. Since the weather was so nice, we decided to sit outside and really enjoyed it. The restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The cumin lamb was flavorful and tasty, but the dumplings were definitely the highlight -- incredibly good! We really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back. read more

We needed a place to start my annual week-long birthday celebration. I had read about this new place in the neighborhood. The $5.95 lunchtime dim sum attracted us. It's a small restaurant, with additional sidewalk tables. It's utterly beautiful with amazing embroidered panels. Service as a bit slow, but considering only one waitress was helping 2 large parties and 3 small tables, it was great; she was most helpful and nice. The dim sum menu is small, but delicious. We had shrimp dumplings, crab and shrimp sui mai, beef soup dumplings, and spring rolls. I would not order the spring rolls again, they are good, but not to my taste. I expected more liquid in the soup dumplings, but they were delicious. I also had the treat of the lichee cocktail. Real lichee flavor, delicious. I mentioned we were celebrating my milestone and they brought out a huge bowl of ice cream, fruit and who knows what else. It was outstanding and delicious. Thank you. I hope we'll return again soon. read more

What an amazing experience. Loved the atmosphere and the menu. Excellent service too. 100% loved the spicy lamb dish recommended by a fellow patron. It looked like beef but was so tender and flavorful! Excellent fried rice, too. We also tried an off the menu item called spicy chicken but that got mixed reviews at our table since it didnt have a sauce. It was crispy and similar to salt and pepper flavor. I liked it. Tip: People who like simple foods might not fully appreciate the explosion of flavors and heat here. But if you want a new modern fusion style experience, enjoy! read more

This place was everything I wanted it to be. Coming from NYC, I was worried about the Chinese food scene here, but so glad I found this place. Truely authentic and delicious. Has the true Sichuan flavors. The beef soup in chili oil was the star of the show. It was absolutely amazing. Their dim sum happy hour was also great with many choices. We also got the kung pao chicken which was solid and the beef lo mien which was good. It also has the most unique decor, with comfortable seats and a very chic aesthetic. This place is run by a couple and they literally do everything. Which means the service can be a tad slow but so worth it. Can't wait to come back & I'll definitely be ordering take out read more

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience at Yue. What an incredible meal from Northern inspired Chinese dishes. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful and a vibe itself. The service is kind and on point. Everything we tried was unique and so flavorful. The crab and pork soup dumplings were a wonderful start, followed by the ribs that were fall off the bone tasty. The Sichuan beef in chili oil with noodles was outstanding! The half portion of Peking duck was this perfect and so flavorful. We cannot wait to come back and try more of their delicious menu. read more

Being from California, I usually get disappointed when I go out of state because the food just doesn't taste the same especially Chinese food. Since we were craving Chinese food we decided to give this place a try and we were not disappointed at all. The server was very attentive and friendly with great recommendations and the dishes we ordered were delicious. We had the black pepper beef with mango and the glazed lychee walnut shrimp. The flavors were phenomenal and tasted just perfect. The soup dumplings were also very flavorful although, I wish the spicy wonton would be spicier bc I really did not taste any spice. I do love spicy food and can tolerate more than the average person. Overall the restaurant is also nicely decorated and very cute! read more

This is probably the least authentic Chinese restaurant I've ever been to. The food came out barely warm, and the soup dumplings were really disappointing--the wrapper was cooked, but the meat inside was still raw. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I'm so happy I found Yue! I appreciate authentic Chinese flavors. The mapo tofu was my favorite. I just couldn't stop eating it! The black truffle dumplings and pork and shrimp dumplings were juicy and flavorful. The spicy fish soup really took me by surprise! Burst of spicy and tender fish. I can't wait to go back and try out new dishes. I'm also so enamored with the decor! And the attention to detail! This is a spot for someone who can appreciate and explore new flavors and dishes but can also accommodate someone who likes traditional Chinese American food as well. The staff is also so very nice and welcoming. read more

I was genuinely excited to try Yue Chinese on Española Way. Being from California, I've been hoping to find a spot in Miami that could give me a taste of home--but unfortunately, this wasn't even close. To start on a positive note: the white rice was good. But everything else left me disappointed. We ordered the walnut shrimp, and to my surprise it came with what tasted like a chocolate-like sauce. The batter was extremely heavy, and the sauce itself was bland, making the whole dish feel unbalanced and overly sweet in an odd way. We also tried the seafood lo mein, which should have been a straightforward, reliable choice. We asked for it spicy per our waiter's recommendation, but it wasn't spicy at all--just noticeably salty, and the flavors never really came together. Finally, we sampled a couple of dumplings--the shrimp dumpling and the taro. Sadly, neither had the freshness or texture you'd hope for in good dim sum, and both fell flat. I rarely write negative reviews because I know how much goes into running a restaurant, but this visit left me truly disappointed. I wanted to love Yue Chinese, and I was rooting for it, but the dishes just didn't deliver. read more

As locals, we have been to Yue several times and are so happy to have a good Chinese restaurant open here! It gets better and better with each visit. The dumplings on the "all day happy hour" list, are excellent. Four of us shared the crispy chicken with ginger and the pork tenderloin with osmanthus flower honey but we especially loved the shrimp with creamy walnut sauce and the soup-like Sichuan fish filet, Chinese cabbage and glass noodles in chili broth (spicy). All courses were a generous size. It was fun sitting outside and watching the action on lively Espanola Way (if outside is important to you, book ahead to make sure) -- but the inside is very pretty! read more

Awesome Chinese food, we needed this place in Miami Beach! Best hot&sour soap ever! Not to be missed. The pork and shrimp dumplings in peanut and peeper oil are a must.

The place has been relatively new being open just 6 months (in July 2025). The place has inside and outside seating area which is right in Espaniola way. The interior is nice, and fancy. As for the food, their Peking Duck and beef and truffle dumplings were very good. The rest of the food items was jyst okay. For instance their seafood crispy noodles was very plane and without even trace of crab flavor, despite menu description. But, personally, I would give them another chance. read more

Expensive. Barely edible food. Pathetic service. Hey served our dinner on a platter without giving us plates or chopsticks or forks. We asked 3 times for plates as our food got cold. I finally walked into the kitchen to get them myself. We asked 3 times for soy sauce and hot sauce. No joy. Went to the kitchen again. read more

Came here with my family while on vacation. Ordered lettuce cups, fried rice, xiao Long Bao, braised pork and fried tofu. Overall, food quality was mediocre. Service was really slow and the restaurant was not even full. They even forgot one dish that I ordered. While the lettuce cups was probably the best of all dishes, it only came with 4 pieces of lettuce, when we asked for some additional lettuce, the waiter charged us $5 for four pieces of lettuce without asking first. Never have I been charged for asking for extra lettuce. $5 for 4 pieces of lettuce? read more

They are doing a soft opening this weekend. We wandered in on Monday evening and were thrilled with the food, beverages, and atmosphere! Omar was our waiter and he was fantastic and fun! We tried a hot tea and a cold peach tea.Both were great, but I'm a fan of the cold sweeter tea...so Peach ice Oolong Tea (Iced - Great for Sharing) A refreshing blend of Floral oolong tea and juicy peach, served over ice for a perfect balance of aroma and sweetness was my favorite! Sichuan spicy shredded chicken, and Truffle Beef Xiao Long Bao (4 pcs) Juicy dumplings with truffle sauce beef...both were excellent! Pan-Fried Chicken Dumplings (6 pcs) Fried dumplings with chicken were very good, and very interesting presentation too. We shared a Sweet & Sour Pork with Osmanthus A beloved Chinese classic, sweet and tangy. This was a favorite for all of us. Crispy Egg Tofu with Truffle [Vegl Pan-fried egg tofu with truffle aroma. Was good, but a little bland. I used the sauces from our other two dinners to dip in for a little extra flavor. We rounded out choices with Sichuan Spicy Beef [Spicy] Classic dish with intense Sichuan spice aroma. It was an all around great experience and we will be back! read more

Great place for happy hour. Lots of choices. All good and only $6 each. Definitely will go back to try their regular menu.

This place should have more reviews, it is great! Long time Beach resident and we don't have any good take-out Chinese restaurants so I'm so happy this place opened up. The quality of the food is great and doesn't feel greasy or cheap. Very flavorful too, will be ordering again read more

5 stars Food, Service and Ambiance. Great new restaurant on Espanola Way ! Can't wait to return .

Chinese food was my least favorite cuisine. It was chop suey and fried rice and always disgusted my palate. New place on Espanola Way has turned that around. The owners are from Beijing. Stepping into Yue Chinese feels like the China I can only imagine. Beautiful decor. That spot on Espanola and Drexel is charming also from the outside with it's huge windows looking out to the circle. I've been twice for lunch and ordered more to eat at home. Went to dinner with a friend. Point--I've tried many dishes and all are to die for. Four pieces of Dim Sum (various choices) are $5 during all-day happy hour. Beverages I've never had before are iced teas; unique refreshing flavors new to me and boba drinks. The man and wife owners are friendly and charming. She told me they are so happy to be here after having restaurants in NYC. She said everyone is so friendly, happy and having fun. The waiter Omar is very attentive, knowledgeable and has super fun energy. Will be eating my way through the menu. Great energy all around. read more
