September 6, 2024

Miami's food scene offers a broad taste of the world, and Chinese cuisine is no exception. But sometimes, you just want to curl up on the couch with a satisfying takeout meal after a long day. Finding the "best Chinese takeout near me" can feel overwhelming whether you're a longtime resident or a curious visitor. But don’t worry. This guide dives into three popular Chinese dishes and recommends top restaurants for takeout in Miami. We'll introduce you to Gradito, a service that elevates your Chinese food experience with Michelin-trained private chefs!

General Tso's Chicken

This spicy classic is a staple in American Chinese takeout. Crispy, battered chicken gets tossed in a sweet, tangy sauce with chili peppers and garlic. It's a flavor explosion perfect for takeout nights!

Where to Find It: Head to Tropical Chinese on Bird Road. They've been a Miami favorite for over 30 years and are known for their authentic Hong Kong-style dishes. Their General Tso's chicken is a crowd-pleaser, offering the right balance of sweetness and heat.

Kung Pao Chicken

Another popular choice is Kung Pao chicken, which features stir-fried chicken with peanuts, vegetables like peppers and celery, and a savory, slightly spicy sauce. It's a great option for those who enjoy a richer flavor profile with a satisfying crunch.

Where to Find It: Kon Chau on Bird Road is a local gem known for its extensive menu and delicious dim sum. Their Kung Pao chicken is a takeout favorite, packed with flavor and generous portions.

Wonton Soup

This comforting noodle soup features wontons (small dumplings) with savory fillings like pork or shrimp swimming in a clear broth. It's a perfect starter or light lunch option; many takeout menus offer it in various sizes.

Where to Find It: China Express has multiple locations across Miami, making it a convenient option for takeout. Their Wonton Soup is a crowd-pleaser featuring a flavorful broth and perfectly cooked wontons.
