This is my I don't want to cook day and I need my Chinese food fix. I always order chicken fried rice and I have to say being of Chinese decent, it was yummy. I also ordered the curry chicken which Estella told me that her brother is now cooking it and I have to say it was wonderful. I also ordered my staple chicken wings and honey chicken. I need my veggies so I order Chinese broccoli with sliced beef and Tai Miu vegetables sautéed in garlic. So even though I am 100% Chinese and I go for the authentic stuff I am also an American and love my American Chinese food from this place. read more

Life is full of surprises. Dim sum was one of those for me. Ever since I was a teenager, I have been fascinated with Chinese food. Lo mein, fried rice, chop suey - you name it and I have tried it. Because of this, it is why my discovery of dim sum is so shocking. Had it not been for Yelp, I would never have known this even existed. Specifically, I remember one day being a bit overzealous and bookmarking goodness knows how many restaurants and this was among them. It was not until a friend of mine kept checking into this place though that I began to get curious, and thus, my research began. I learned the fine details of this delicacy. So soft, so intricately made, so full of wantonness... it was only a matter of time. The issue was always when. Well, it finally happened. Yes, yes, it did! This past Sunday with the wonderful boyfriend. The truth is we had been debating going for a couple of weeks, but we ultimately chose to go yesterday given that our plans fell through. We originally were going to head up to Fort Lauderdale for lunch, but we got distracted visiting my boyfriend's mother. Given proximity and the fact that Juana La Cubana closes at 4 PM on Sundays, we ended up at Kon Chau. BEST DECISION EVER! *Dances, throws confetti, and starts a Conga line* Cough, cough. I cheated on my favorite Chinese restaurant and it felt so good. Heck, I am amazed by the extent of my love. I just went less than 24 hours ago and I am already dying to go back. Can you say potential addiction? Anyway, before anything, I must say this. Do not make the mistake my boyfriend and I made. If you are a complete beginner to dim sum, know this: Dim sum is small, yes, but each dim sum plate consists of at least three dumplings. The price you are paying for one dim sum is not for one dumpling, it is for three usually. Unless otherwise specified, assume this. Dim sum is family style, so everyone gets to share various plates. Not to mention that from what I have heard, it is usually cart style, meaning that there is someone who brings a cart around full of them. Oh, and there is usually a rotating table, but at least at Kon Chau, this isn't the case, but frankly for me, this does not matter. The food is so tasty. On this particular occasion, we tried the following dishes: -Steamed chicken dumpling: Boyfriend and I decided to order three dim sum plates each. This was one of mine and it was fresh, healthy, and properly seasoned. -Steamed Chinese sausage bun: One of my boyfriend's choices. This was the only thing I ate I was not a fan of. It was cooked well. The sausage was on point. I just did not like the bun too much; it was a bit sweet for my liking. -Deep fried shrimp and meat dumpling: Recently I have been obsessed with shrimp, so that was my motivation for ordering this. Extremely satisfied. The mix of flavors was heavenly. -Baked roast pork bun: Another one of my boyfriend's choices. I loved the sweet covering on the bun and the savory pork inside. Made me think of those pork buns they have as appetizers at some Asian restaurants. -Wonton noodle soup: A little pricey compared to other dim sum but so very worth it. This is big enough for two. It easily has five or six dumplings. It is essentially a soupy dumpling and it is hands down the best thing I ate at this restaurant. Just thinking about it makes me salivate. -Roasted duck noodle soup: My boyfriend ordered these dumplings, but they ran out. He then then replaced them with the steamed roast duck bun, but they came out later to tell us they were out of those as well. We would have tried a third option, but frankly, we were beginning to get full and we still had other food to think about. -Chicken lo mein: Because we had no idea how big these plates were, we ordered a side of chicken lo mein. It didn't help that we had seen other people order it. I don't think I need to tell you that we had a bit and took the rest home. It was just too much. I am still eating the leftovers today. -Tea: The real winner of all this meal. Seriously... we didn't want tea at first, but later we got it, and well, this tea is a killer digestive. So needed! All that being said, all this wasn't even $40 without tip, and with tip, it surpassed that but just barely. Amazing food, great service, and the hostess was sweet. We were impressed to see that she was trilingual. She switched languages on a flip of a switch. English, Spanish, Chinese - it did not matter. Incredible really. I'm trying to this if there is anything else I can say. Nope, I think that's it. We got fortune cookies, grabbed menus, toothpicks, and mints to go, and later realized they do delivery in a limited area. It's probably a good thing I don't live or work in the limited area. This place can cause potential problems for my waistline if you know what I mean. read more

Really. really good Cantonese dim sum in Miami. There are no pushy carts, but fresh seafood (especially all the shrimp dishes). Let's be honest- Miami is not known for their dim sum or Asian food. But this restaurant in a strip mall near an Asian grocery store is very comparable to things on the East and West Coast. The Food: 1) All the shrimp. All of it. They are fresh, clean, big, and delishes. 2) Duck and Wonton soups (big enough to share with 3-4 people) 3) Duck dumplings 4) Scallops dumplings 5) Lots of Veggie dishes 6) Noodle dishes are on point 7) Lots of vegetarian dumpling options 8) Excellence steamed bbq pork buns 9) If you don't eat pork, lots of chicken dumpling options. 10) If you don't eat shrimp, it kind of suxs, but there are def. enough vegetarian, duck, and other yummy options. 11) Lots of Green Tea dumpling paper options. I honestly prefer the regular, but it's nice to mix it up. 12) 17 items with tip around $30 for 3 people. This is amazing and I couldn't eat for the day! If this wasn't in Miami, I would come here too. The people here speak mostly Cantonese with some Mandarin and English. This isn't a fancy place. This is just more authentic, reasonably priced, and cures any Miami night out. read more

Decent dimsum Food 4/5 Brought one of my friends for her first time adventuring into dimsum and she loved it, so clearly pretty up to par as far as dim sum goes. A large variety of dumplings for sure!! Lacking in some of the more traditional classics, but service was quite quick and efficient. Ambiance 4/5 quite packed when we came at late lunch time ~ 1:30, when they stop serving at 3pm on the weekends I believe. They didn't run out of anything though!!! Price 4/5 at about 3-4$ a dish, comparable to what other dim sum places in the area are offering. read more

Kon Chau Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - Miami, Florida

Amazing dim sum. Great portions and pricing. I dream of the Baked pork buns and pork dumplings. Shrimp and chive dumplings are also top of my list but haven't had anything bad here. Their fried rice is also one of our favorites. Order delicious chrysanthemum tea with your dim sum to compete the experience. Fast service and delicious food, if you're lucky you might see staff seated in the back wrapping the dumplings by hand. Oh and order the custard buns as dessert! read more

The food, staff and selections were really great. The food was fresh and exquisite. The food order was quick and very well cooked. The ambience was very low key and comfortable. The food was absolutely tasty. Overall I highly recommend this Chinese restaurant. read more

Not enough things to say about this establishment. This is the absolute BEST Chinese food in Dade county. There is dim sum everyday with many traditional items to choose from and their entrees are too die for!!! This picky New Yorker found this restaurant and never looked back. The decor is what you expect of an outstanding Chinese food restaurant, fake wood paneling, carpet, tables with condiment dispensers. I mean after all, I know of a fancy looking place just down the street that is far more pricey and they can't hold a candle to Kon Chau. Service is always outstanding whether you dine in or take out. Employees pay attention to detail and are fast and efficient. If your a dim sum/Chinese food fan, this is the place! read more

Came in the restaurant 45 minutes before closing and was greeted with "we close at 9pm", "do you know what you want?"... we hadn't even been seated yet. I just said, I wanted better customer service, and I will never return. read more

Worst Chinese Restaurant across the whole country. Reasons: 1) food are cold. Ordered 4 dim sum dishes, 2 of them are completely cold. When we ask to reheat, the response is "no way to reheat and Americans eat cold and they are just fine" 2) Hidden fees. We only have 2 person and the menu clearly states "add 15% service fee to partiEs greater than 5". We still saw the 15% services fee on the bill (when pointed out, removed the fee very unpleasant) read more

Nice choice for dim sum. I loved the steamed buns and the soup dumplings! I went a few weeks ago after finding this suggestion on Yelp. There were only a few tables when we walked in and by the end we were the only table so it seemed pretty slow while we were there. Servers are quick.I will probably order takeout from them in the future. We also had the orange chicken which as per the menu is spicy but had no spice at all. I enjoyed it nonetheless. read more

My Man Bruce Lee, Master Lee and I love to call the Dim Sum experience "little jewels"! A bite and a thought, a bite and a thought. I like that this restaurant is so centered as to take the effort to present a real socializing past time such as the Dim Sum experience and right in Miami city. Hou ahh! Go for it everyone!!

The service is great - the food is ok and the place is a whole in the wall but worth taking out or going! I have enjoyed it every time

The food here was good. Not many excellent Chineese places in Miami. But this place was good. Had the egg rolls good. Honey garlic chicken was good. Spring rolls good. Veggie fired rice good. All around good will try again just to see if I can find something spectacular! read more

After watching Anthony Bourdain name soup dumplings "pillows of happiness" on parts unknown, my friends and I decided to search Miami for said pillows of happiness. Kon Chau kept popping up in all our searches, so we decided to try. Be aware, Kon Chau is in a pretty unassuming spot. It's nestled in a strip mall with a beauty supply store, asian market and Brews Room in Westchester. If you didn't know it was there, or read the rave reviews - you just might miss it. It's I do not suggest missing out on the wonderful dumpling selection from Kon Chau! What We Ordered: - Wonton Soup: so many wontons, and so many noodles. I loved this soup, and it is large enough to share. - Soup Dumpling: did not disappoint. When you take a bite of the dumpling a savory broth emerges and surrounds the ground pork that is inside the dumpling. - Golden Crispy Tofu: by no means am I in love with tofu, but the vegetarian members of my party ordered this and i was so surprised. Maybe I was just into the garlicy butter sauce that surrounded every piece of fried tofu and veggies (who wouldn't be?!). - Chive Shrimp Cake Leek Dumpling: not my favorite order from the table, but still good! - Crab Rangoon: great choice, fried to perfection. I'm so happy we discovered Kon Chau, and we will definitely to be back to enjoy the more than 70 varieties of Dim Sum they have to offer! read more

Extensive dim sum menu. I got a few glimpses of what was happening in the kitchen, and it appeared that the dumplings were being made there. I was disappointed with the xiao long bao (soup dumplings). They did have a small amount of tasty broth inside, but the skin was thick and doughy and truthfully seemed packaged. Shrimp cake in shredded taro was both crisp and light, leek dumpling was pretty good, sticky rice in lotus leaf was fantastic. Overall-very friendly staff, but I think I prefer the flavor at South Garden and Hong Kong City better. Priced right. Nearly all the customers on Sunday morning were Asian, which leads me to believe I've come to the right place. I will try them again, and explore the menu further. read more

Kon Chau is a hidden gem! Amazing dim sum! Good service & inexpensive! My friend and I went and split the check, we each paid including tax & tip $36. you must try it! read more

My favorite dim sum spot in Miami. Everything tastes authentic and fresh. The wait is not very long. The leek dumplings are my absolute favorite. Never disappointed read more

Came here with some coworkers and really enjoyed it. The service was great and fast. There are some items which say 15 minutes on the menu but I found them to be quicker than that. On the food: Im a sucker for soup dumplings and these did not disappoint. I also recommend the basics: steamed or pan fried pork or shrimp anything is delicious. We also wanted something a little heavier and tried the soy noddles but boy they were salty. I dont think I would order this again, but if you go with dumpling anything you'll be on the safe side that is delicious. Place was cozy but had plenty of tables. We were seated right away. The location is in a shopping plaza so we did not have trouble finding any parking spots near the restaurant. The service was fast and friendly, food was great. Will come back soon. read more

Update: So... I have come back on several occasions. It was so hard to resist their various delicacies. The soup dumplings are crafted by true artist. It's so delicious & don't get me started on the green tea duck dumplings amazing. they also have something called a supreme wonton soup which is packed with shrimp dumplings. It's a great way to start the meal. The service is quick efficient and friendly. Everyone is very attentive. I drink a lot of water and my glass is always replenished without me having to lift a finger. Everything is sent out on a timely manner and it's hot and fresh So come and enjoy something authentic and delicious read more

Wow, Miami doesn't have as many Chinese restaurants as I expected it to. So when we finally found one, we're sticking to it, 2 nights in a row! We loved that it serves Dim Sum even during dinner. Everything we've tried was good with the fried rice being just OK (too Americanized compared to the other dishes that felt authentic) and the BBQ pork buns (steamed) were too big (well, the modern style is mini sized, lol), it would've been a welcoming thing had the pork been more fresh... PS. If you ask for chrysanthemum tea, they also bring out rock sugar to sweeten it up, very cute! read more

As an Asian living in Miami, this place is pretty authentic and I've been here several times! It's usually pretty easy to be seated and the waiters are generally quick with the orders. I especially enjoy their shrimp crepe on their dim sum menu! A few of their hot dim sim dishes were cold when it got to us but otherwise the food is solid. read more

Was really excited to have some Dim Sum, since we saw all the reviews we decided to try this spot. Unfortunately we were disappointed with the food. Every plate was a little off and the "American" dish we ordered honey garlic chicken was not good at all. It's hard to find a good authentic Chinese place in South Florida and Kon Chau does not make the cut. read more

Jon Chau is indubitably the best Chinese food in Miami, the level is outstanding, the friendly staff and the Dim Sum is amazing!!! Just few Chinese restaurants offer this kind of menu! And I used to ate from one of the best in the world!! But this one in Kon Chau is pretty closed. Ask for the Taro during weekends or the honeycomb with black bean, my favorite the duck bun is also something to request. Enjoy the experience and forget the rest. read more

Really good dim sum. Service is quick and the staff is attentive. They have a wide variety of dim sum options along with other dishes. We only ordered dim sum. We got the shrimp dumplings, the soup dumplings, the shrimp and Chive dumplings, the green tea duck dumplings, and the egg custard bun. Everything arrived quickly and hot. The green tea duck dumplings were the only ones we didn't particularly like but it wasn't terrible. The egg custard bun we tried for the first time and we loved it. Kon satisfied my DIM sum craving after a trip to London where I binged on dim sum in Chinatown. read more

Order, eat, repeat! I keep coming back here because, hands down it is the best tasting and most affordable place in town for good Dim Sum and Chinese food. The menu hasn't changed much and the decor is still the same, but the service and cuisine are always fresh and delicious. The menu reads like a who's who if you know what's what. The best part is, for those who don't know, there are plenty of pictures to help you pick out your heavenly delights. From the everyday to the more adventurous diners, the selections here definitely do not disappoint. You can order everything from chicken feet to Shanghai soup dumplings for yourself or to share with your party. Best part is, it's all a-la-carte. No minimums or maximums per order. Wear stretchy pants!! Kon Chau is located in a small strip mall anchored with an oriental market at one end. After filling up on dumplings, you can wander over to the oriental market for a little postprandial dinner shopping. Parking is a little tight, but if timed just right, you can get a prime spot right in front of the restaurant. If you're making it an evening with your partner, ride-share and let others argue over that parking spot. SYOY!!! read more

Kon Chau Restaurant - Dim Sum Near Me - Miami, Florida

I crave Kon Chau every day, I kid you not. The service is super quick, they are on top of water refills and clearing your table. But let's get into my faves: GREEN TEA DUCK DUMPLING: I cannot emphasize enough how fantastic these dumplings are. They're steamed, the filling is juicy, and the duck flavor is prominent. Pan Fried Noodles: Warning, you WILL eat too much of this. I always have leftovers of this, and they are actually better on the ride back home when they get a little cold. These noodles are simple: scallions, bean sprouts, & the noodles. Get one or two of these to share with the table! Pan fried pork dumplings: These are a classic, extremely satisfying. Slight crunch on the outside, super delish. They give you complimentary tea at the beginning of your meal, and fortune cookies at the end. Great touch! read more

My random dim sum crave got me here. Coming from NY, the is so much dim sum restaurants that you can easily pick up what is good and what is not. I do like their concept of sugar cubes for tea in the side, that was something new for me. The dim sum here order through a menu instead of the dim sum cart which it for me not as exciting. The food here is okay without any compliant but I just feel like the taste is missing something that could make it better. I ordered the Seafood chow mein, shrimp dumpling(har gow) , siu mai and steamed pork ribs. Services was good and the food came out relatively quick. I wouldn't mind coming back in the future if my family and friends would want to have dim sum but personally if there is other opinions I would want to try something new. read more

We originally were looking for a Thai restaurant on Christmas Day but never found it. This restaurant was open but because we had our fur babies I ordered the food to go. Due to the holiday, the place was packed. The lady at the front desk was answering phones, calling people when their tables were ready, and taking orders. It was crazy. I placed my order by filling out the order form, paid and told the order will be ready in 40 mins. I came back in 40 mins and my order was ready. I checked my order based on memory because my receipt wasn't itemized and I was not given the order form and noticed I was missing 3 orders of shrimp rolls. I went back in and asked the lady to double check. It turns out my order was put into someone's else's order. Luckily the other customer hadn't picked up their order yet. I found out that the shrimp rolls were fried and different than what I originally wanted. It was similar to the fried shrimp balls but wrapped with tofu skins so make sure if you want the steamed dish to order the shrimp rice noodle crepes. The curry calimari was very tough and portions was small. The combination fried rice had chunks of ham and a few shrimp, not what I expected. My family seem to enjoy the food, perhaps because they were hungry but there was something about the quality that wasn't up to par to what I normally expect for dim sum. Most of the food was just ok to me but I don't see myself returning. read more

Family-owned, local business with a great Dim Sum selection. The service is fantastic.

I can't believe I had no idea this place existed till now. I've been looking for good Dim sum forever.... and they have AMAZING dim sum. I couldn't be more satisfied with my meal. I came here looking for soup dumpling, which I enjoyed but would've liked if they were a bit bigger. I ended up falling in love with everything else! My favorite had to be the green tea roast duck dumpling. So much flavor, it was really juicy and delicious. Shrimp and pork Shumai was also really good. The only thing I didn't like was the deep fried dumplings but I probably should've expected that to taste like An elephant ear. Veggie fried rice was really good too chock full of all my fave Asian veggies. I can't wait to come back and try new things, the menu is vast and full of delicious sounding options. My biggest problem is that I keep ordering with my eyes, those dumpling are more filling than you'd e read more

Dim sum here was decent, but they do have great hospitality. When we first walk into this place it looks a bit old and run down. There wasn't much or any decor to make it looks like the typical dum sum places I go to everywhere else. The tables wEre a bit run down and I was scared that the corners would collapse soon and the food spill on me. The dim sum is ordered off of a menu and brought to you one by one. There is no cart. In the end we were all full, but the food kept coming. This is why for dimsum it is always good to have a cart so we are able to know the amount we are getting. We ordered a lot of dim sum, so let me just inform you of the things that you should get. Get: 1. Salty egg custard bun - runny and delicious 2. Shrimp balls 3. Egg tart. 4. Pork ribs 5. Salty pork and egg congee 6. Shang hai soup dumpling. I don't think I will come back for dim sum here, but if you don't have an option I think this place is decent enough. read more
