MR CHEF'S – Chinese
Tucked into a suite at 18800 NE 29th Avenue, Mr. Chef's is Aventura's quiet Chinese standby, cooking Cantonese and Szechuan side by side with a small sushi counter. Two-course Peking duck anchors the menu; around it sit crispy shrimp balls, salt-and-pepper calamari, walnut mayo shrimp, cashew nut shrimp, kung pao chicken, lo mein and steamed fish. Diners describe cooking that reads clean rather than heavy, portions that are sensible rather than enormous, and an owner who remembers them. Special instructions actually get followed. A small room, personally run, and it shows.
