Authentic Chinese restaurant. Very varied menu. The vegetable tofu soup was huge, lacked flavor so I added chili oil. Spring rolls were cooked perfectly. Fried rice was fresh. My husband did not like the wonton soup. He thought the sesame chicken was flavorful but it didn't come with white rice. Ambiance was lacking and service was ok. Strangely enough the entire staff sat down to eat while we were still there and hadn't paid yet. read more

Reviews about service is spot on - you literally have to go out of your way to ask for service it's kind of ridiculous. I'd hate to see this place when it's busy... Now the food - AMAZING! I was so fully I had to unbutton my pants and I had plenty of leftover for almost 2 meals. The chongqing noodles are a must. Deliciously spicy and numbing if you eat continuously. I liked having the extra oil as well to put on top of the other dish I ordered. The addition of nuts add such great texture. The sliced pork belly is divine. Perfectly cooked and I'd order again 1000%. read more

This is the only Szechuan restaurant in South Florida (that I know of). As a Southern Californian, I grew up eating this cuisine and it's one of the main types of Chinese food I crave. Can't really compare this to my spots in CA, but I will definitely be back to satisfy my cravings!! FOOD - Szechuan Chicken: one of my favorite Szechuan dishes. Although there were a lot of peppers (as there should be), I thought it could be spicier (as someone who can handle spice). The chicken was crispy. However, I do wish there was more meat in the chicken bits (a lot of pieces tasted just like breading). Overall good flavor though. - String Beans: this was my favorite thing I got. It's so savory (thank you MSG hahah- probably) and so addictive. 100% will be back for this dish. Not spicy - Dumpling: probably wouldn't get this again. It was mostly skin and no filling. - Beef Noodle Soup: I personally thought this could be spicier. Not the best beef noodle soup I've ever had, but also one of the only options in South Florida and it hit the spot. They give a decent amount of meat with it too. INTERIOR This establishment had the stereotypical Chinese restaurant decorations. Overall, spacious place and was clean. They have multiple huge tables, so it's a great spot for groups. SERVICE Pretty attentive. I never had to wait around for service. MISC There's some street parking around. read more

The area off 163rd St has been known to be Miami's unofficial "Chinatown" for many years, with options stretching from highway to the bay, CY is unique in their full menu of Sichuan cuisine as well as the traditional American style Chinese food offerings. Parking may be a little strange for some, but the restaurant is what you'd expect, ambiance is not a focus but is relatively clean. There are two menus, great for the unadventurous who can't take the heat and fire that is the hallmark of this cuisine. For the uninitiated, Sichuan food is not just spicy hot but also tingly and slightly mouth-numbing with the use of the Sichuan Peppercorn, it's a unique experience that adds to the exoticness of flavors and CY does a pretty good job representing them. read more

Listed, I get it, you're one of the few chinese restaurants in Miami, but that's not a reason for bad service. We have been there twice and it's been pretty consistent, when we get seated it takes them a while to take your order, and then the food to come out. I think we waited over an hour to get our food, which means it's cooked from scratch, and that's a plus, but also the time we waited there was not much to do really. Also they ran out of tea pots! How can you run out of tea pots in a Chinese restaurant. Anyway, this doesn't warrant a 3rd visit. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover when coming . The establishment is like a home cooked meal and you feel very welcome and at home. Our server Marcy was the one and only server there and she was so attentive and fast and super friendly and very helpful with recommendations as far as appetizers we started off with the wonton soup and the fresh sliced beef. Then we proceeded with the Singapore street noodles from the traditional menu and then had gotten the brown sugar eggplant which was one of the top two favorites.. Everything there is so fresh and delicious the atmosphere was quiet and calm it looked as if only locals knew about this place because it's so well hidden and this place is. True gem read more

CY Chinese Restaurant - Szechuan Near Me - North Miami Beach, Florida

I'm going to be very honest right now... I haven't tried anything from this restaurant, besides their sautéed potatoes. I LOVE these potatoes and frankly, that's the only reason I order from this place. It is so hard to find these type of shredded potatoes around South FL, because they are very authentic and time consuming to make. I used to get them at Chinese Guy Chi Town Restaurant, but it closed down during Covid. Ever since then, I've craved it and hunted it down to this very place. 5 stars to keep it alive because I can't handle losing these potatoes again. Please support me and my relationship with these potatoes. Thank you. Pro tip: Order these potatoes to go, add chili oil at home, and sauté them for 2-5 minutes. Then, you will experience my experience. All the potato sticks should be orange. You're welcome. read more

I uber eats the iron plate squid, it came with a tiny portion of squid (10%) tiny tentacles here and there, 70% onions, 20% scallions and the rest other ingredients, like spicy peppers, which btw are reallllly spicy, I ordered mild spicy and im dripping snot from a couple bites. The rice came in a tiny portion, which wasnt even filled up to the top, it looked like someone took a little bit from the box with their fingers and then closed it and packed it up. I ordered it from uber eats, i dont know if that has anything to do with it, but i sure wont be ordering from this place again specially not for 30$ for this plate. read more

Authentic low-key restaurant located right across the Walmart plaza. I never thought twice to go in but don't let the exterior or interior deceive you. They are more than just a Chinese restaurant. They serve authentic Szechuan cuisine as well as hot pot. We decided to get an appetizer (not pictured) it was tripe and ox tongue in chili sauce (served cold) it was delicious and light on the spice, just the sauce alone we used as a dipping sauce for our eggrolls it was so good. Their sake was a small clear bottle that was clean on the nose & fresh on the taste buds that went down easy. The herbal tea in a can (red can yellow letters) was very sweet & different that other teas. Our food was very hot when it came out and smelled amazing. We each got a small cup of white rice. The portion size alone could be enough for two people. The pork intestines with lotus root was very spicy and had strong szechuan peppercorn flavor. The only way to calm the spice was to eat the cauliflower in the dish or drink more sake. We were sweating! The pork belly was less spicy & was more distinguished by the meat than the szechuan flavors and paired nicely with the leek. I was disappointed with the dumplings in red chili they had good flavor however the meat portion inside the dumplings were little to none vs the picture in their menu book. They do close at 10 on Sundays so if you want hot pot it's best to get their early. Even at 8:30 they already stopped hot pot service when I asked. read more

I'm used to good Szechuan foods in Seattle but found CY to be the one in Miami area. It's located in a rundown stripe mall that has only a few parking spaces. I have doubts before going in due to the dirtiness on the outside. We were all tired after a day at Seaquarium, so decided to give it a try. The foods were okay but probably the most authentic in the area. The garlic cucumbers is supposed to be a cold dish but we're served at room temperature, not sure why. The Peking pork, twice cooked pork and mala pot were all yummy. The service was quick, bring the only other table at the time. Drive to Miami Airport was about 25 mins. read more

Excellent food. Extremely authentic Chinese food . The beef meat itself does not have an authentic texture in my opinion, but the flavor definitely is. The chicken is excellent along with the dry pot items. I would definitely come back here. Waitresses are kind and attentive. The place is clean. Worth the drive to come here! read more

This is 5 stars for authentic Chinese in Miami. Obviously not 5 stars in LA or NYC for Sichuan but pretty darned good. The only other legit Chinese in Miami is the OG Dumpling King. Been going to both for over tens years now since moving from LA. For the Asians looking for the authentic dishes my favorite is "Meat and Veggies w/ Hot spicy broth". It's basically Sichuan mala hotpot with everything from shrimp, tripe, spam, fatty pork belly, cellophane noodles to potatoes, seaweed, lotus root, and cauliflower with loads of garlic. I personally get it without the pork intestines but there is that also if you want. Disclaimer: this is NOT a healthy dish. This is a sweaty, endorphin rush, addictive dish. You have been warned. Other legit dishes include the dry spicy pot with bone in chicken, the fish filet with spicy bean curd (not that spicy), the shredded pork or beef with bamboo (not spicy at all). The green beans with minced pork is also good. They have the standard stuff also but if you come here, be adventurous. read more

CY Chinese Restaurant - Meat and Vegetables with hot and spicy broth - Szechuan Near Me - North Miami Beach, Florida

Best Szechuan in all of South Florida. When you ask for mala they give it to you. All the classic dishes prepared as you'd expect at any legendary Szechuan restaurant. Don't let the décor fool you, the food and service are top notch. I ended up trying all of the following (I recommend chongqing chicken only ever as dine-in): -szechuan cucumber (6.95) -spicy chicken w Fresh pepper (13.95) -mapo tofu (12.95) -spicy cumin beef (17.95) -twice cooked pork (13.95) -egg roll (3.50) -veggie fried rice (5.95) -hot and sour soup (3.95) -chongqing spicy chicken (16.95) -chicken drypot The cumin beef had a lot of cumin flavor. The hot and sour soup was also some of the best I've ever had. The chicken drypot was on point with mala flavor and seasoning. The only things I didn't like was the egg roll and the spicy chicken with fresh pepper had bone in it. I know thats more authentic, but I don't like having to gingerly bite into chicken not knowing if there is bone. There is plenty of parking in the back. It was soo good I came here twice in two weeks. Highly recommend. read more

Incredible delivery order! The food was hot, fresh and delicious. We will for sure be ordering again. Everything we ordered tasted like it came right from the kitchen. We started with a crispy crunchy egg roll and then a variety of other dishes. The Dan Dan noodles were perfectly spicy. The string beans and eggplant were some of the best vegetable dishes I've had. The mapo tofu and the hot and sour soup are both a must. The vegetable fried rice was okay but, the vegetables were great. BIG FAN. read more

Sichuan food is some of my favorite. I used to live in China and now crave that spicy, numbing Sichuan peppercorn. CY Chinese does a pretty good job of delivering that flavor. I highly recommend the spicy mung bean jello salad and beef dry pot. I wish they had a little more of the Sichuan peppercorn in them, but the dishes were still delicious. The dumplings weren't spicy at all and were a bit bland. Service was attentive. The prices are good for the very shareable portions of food you get. The restaurant is a bit outdated and the parking is kinda weird. That won't stop me from coming back for the food, though. read more

Just ate the most disgusting Singapore noodles.... I think they were leftover as they were dry lumps with the curry powder in globs rather than coating all the noodles. The toppings were fine had they been mixed into fresh noodles but- never again! The shrimp with cashew nuts was delicious. It had plenty of shrimp, a mixture of vegs including red and green peppers, baby corn and water chestnuts. It really was tasty by comparison. Nevertheless, I'm not sure I'd go back again given the 50/50 chance for success. read more

Totally divey and it won't win any design awards but if you're looking for legit Chinese food - as opposed to Chinese American food - this is where you good, ESPECIALLY if you like spicy food. The mapo tofu is a must, and other good stuff includes their string beans, dry pot, and pork belly dishes. It's also one of those places where all the customers are Chinese expats which is a very, very good sign. Most of low reviews were for beef and broccoli or orange whatever. You're not here for that, and if you can handle a dive, this is where to go. read more

The foods are good however service is terrible. Very very very slow and the server is easily distracted and forget what he was doing

This restaurant opened on Christmas Eve, and according to my friend was totally packed during the holidays. To avoid the crowd I waited a bit before my visit. In the last few years, several Szechuan cuisine restaurants have opened up in Miami, giving us choices beyond the regular Cantonese cooking. The beautiful menu (the prettiest in Miami, I'd say!!) listed lots of the classic dishes from Szechuan, such as tea-smoked duck, twice-cooked pork, fuqi feipian, "water cooked" fish, chili chicken, dry pepper saute in pot, hot pot, and more. There are traditional dishes using rabbit, pig intestines, blood and so on. The dishes are good, though for the ones we tried, I would say it's not as good as the other ones in Miami. I love Szechuan food for the addictive mala: the heat (la) is evident, but it's missing the tingling numbness (ma) from the Sichuan peppercorn. So, this is good, but the others are *addictively* good - that masochistic, suicidal craving to keep eating that spicy food as your mouth numbs and you drench in sweat. Also, the heat level is not consistent among its "one pepper" dishes. Nonetheless, if you want to try Szechuan food in this neighborhood, this is a pretty good choice. The service, when we visited, was a big miss though. The jelly salad, supposedly an appetizer, was the second to last dish to show up. After we finished eating, no waitstaff came by for over half an hour. We went from "let's try the sweet potato dessert" to "let's get the bill and get out of here!" which was a shame. However, as this place was barely a week into opening at our visit, I didn't deduct any star, in hope that it will improve in the future. read more

Fantastic, authentic, delicious Szechuan cuisine. I've never had a dish here that I haven't loved. The servers are always friendly and kind. The restaurant itself is dated and has seen better days, but they've been making some small upgrades lately which is appreciated. It's the type of place you go to not for the ambiance but for the great food and good service. NOTE: They also have an American Chinese menu that seems very popular with the food delivery services. I have never had any of those items- so my review is based on the Szechuan menu which is stellar. read more
