TROPICAL CHINESE RESTAURANT – Chinese
The carts start rolling not long after the doors open on Bird Road, and from then on the room runs loud, busy and happy. This West Miami-Dade strip-mall dining room built its name on dim sum — har gow steamed to order, barbecue pork rice noodles, shrimp wonton soup, fried shrimp balls — alongside a full Cantonese kitchen turning out Singapore noodles, triple salute chicken, honey garlic chicken, salt-and-pepper calamari and a duck served first as small wraps, then again as a main. Regulars talk about cooking that tastes clean rather than heavy. Come hungry, come with people.
