Miami Beach Restaurant Guide

Industry veteran Jennie Yip blended Eastern tradition with Miami flair at Miss Yip Chinese Cafe. Modeled after a Shanghai teahouse, the restaurant design is simplistic but enriched with exotic details; most noticeable is the high, open ceiling, deep red booths, and intricate, oriental wallpaper. Regulars go for the homemade dim sum or the daily lunch special, a choice of entree, rice and vegetable spring roll, but more neo-traditional dishes include the steamed golden corn shrimp ball or sliced duck and mango salad. For cocktails, the drinks are subtly infused with such flavors as ginger or fresh raspberry: the after-work Lincoln Rd. scene guzzles the Madame Ming or a fresh take on a Miami favorite, a Lychee Mojito.
