Miss Yip Chinese Cafe, Miami

Classic Hong Kong dishes such as steamed buns and sesame chicken rule Miss Yip Chinese Cafe's menu, which was recently overhauled by a new chef to match the eatery's contemporary decor. At the front of the dining room, a merry burnished Buddha smiles at diners under walls intricately detailed in red and white. Red-cushioned chairs allow diners to lounge with a cocktail on the outdoor patio, and on some Fridays, DJs spin beats in the open air. The trendy atmosphere has attracted diners of all ilk, from members of the Miami Heat to salesmen trying to find a fitting home for progressive plate designs.
