Chinese, Asian: "Word of warning: This restaurant is across the street from Tropical Park and the roads get especially crowded around rush hour and in the evenings in December when folks are rushing to Santa's Enchanted Forest inside the park."

Best for Chinese Because: Tropical Chinese is coming up on 33 years of serving delicious push cart dim sum, and has clearly become Miami's favorite go-to.
Best for Asian Because: Tropical Chinese is the local's favorite place for Cantonese and Mandarin cuisine. Their Dim Sum is the real deal.
