China Cafe

"BEST CHINESE NORTHERN BBQ SKEWERS! I have been to New York recently and this place was the best! The location is a bit far from Miami, but they are relocating their store soon! So delicious and the owners were very nice and friendly! I would definitely come back when I visit the area. This is the best 东北烧烤！超级无敌好吃！走过路过不要错过！"

"Great food, you just need to know what you want to order. No tap water, you can either bring your own water or pick what you want at the fridge (at a cost). All things we tried in the photos are delicious and authentic (to native Chinese standard) Expect to spend around $100 (skewers only) to $150+ (if you order seafood items) for a party of two. Staff is friendly but they could get busy so you need to ring the bell at the cashier area to get attention for service. We would recommend and come again."

"Honestly speaking this restaurant has been on my checklist for almost a year - I was hesitant due to these bad reviews. But in the end I decided to give it a shot because it's really rare to find an authentic Chinese Northeast restaurant in South Florida. Some reviews are not wrong, but after knowing that it's a small family run restaurant (only 3 people in total and they're not young) I think it's quite understandable that they don't provide free ice water and no fancy decoration inside. I'm not looking for excuses for them, but I came in as the only table on a Monday afternoon and service was almost the warmest I ever had. Dishes constantly came in with no problem and I kinda like the freedom to grab different drinks by myself (check their fridge out they have traditional Chinese soy milk). Everything here is loyal to the original Chinese Northeast taste which brought me back to the old time. Here's my must-try list: - Sliced house style pork It's always my favorite. My American friend loves it too. He said it's like an super advanced version Orange chicken but actually pork. - Korean cold noodles So fresh after spicy bbq in this hot weather. - Skewers - sauteed potatoes, peppers and eggplants I will definitely come back with friends in the future to try the traditional copper pot hot pot. :)"

"Had a delightful dinner here. If you have ever traveled within Asia you will easily recognize the style of cooking as the ideal pairing of mouth numbing chili and savory salt that goes perfectly with a cold beer at a night market. Most of the items fall into the category of skewers but they have a very broad collection of main dishes. Definitely get the soups and the pork dishes and don't skip the refreshingly cold and pickled vegetables. On a whim we tried the dumplings are were delighted to see handmade style ones very similar to what we'd get in the day markets in Taipei. I was very impressed with the flavor and for the price to value it is amazingly cheap. Highlights were the grilled eggplant and oysters due to the sheer flavor bomb of garlic and chili that contrasted to the cumin and pepper style skewers. Will be back soon to try their other seafood dishes."
