User reviews

2.)He had attitude. (I mean MOST waiters in South Beach have attitude...but this place was EMPTY on Christmas Eve...and, well, it was a little-dump/eat in-take out CHINESE Restaurant!
it's like getting attitude from your laundromat lady. -Ridiculous.

3.) The soup never came.

4.The appetisers (which were good) were sloppy finger food (Which is fine!) but the waiter only gave napkins to one of us - poor service.

5.) BOTH entrees (Curry chicken and cashew chicken) were just plain CRAP. I will say that the portions were big....but who wants a bigger serving of crap anyway? My Chinese dinner partner was the first to mention this.

6)The waiter charged us both for the soup even tho it never came. (After the meal, when shown this, he had the audacity to ask us if we wanted to take it to go!)

7.) After my dinner-mate complained that the bill was too large I asked to see it: The prices were scrawled in such a way that you REALLY couldn't tell how much he was charging you for various items.
He also NEGLECTED to mention -until pressed- that TIPS WERE INCLUDED. (20%!!!)

I have NO problem with that if the service is good.
I DO have a problem with dishonest waiters that take your money without telling you.
(We were about to give him a double tip when I caught this)

In short:
The food was bad.(3 out of 10)
The service was below average. (4 out of 10)
The Wait staff himself-(1 out of 10)

PS I used to be a waiter. if anyone is going to be generous with this reveiw, I would be.
This Chrismas Eve Dinner experience sucked.

I'm guessing the other reveiwers that liked this slop either:
1: Never had authentic Chinese food. 2: Never had GOOD Chinese food.

You just can't beat the quality, size, and price of the food at Sum Yum Gai. This cozy restaurant has some of the best Chinese food I've ever tasted and more than you can eat in one sitting, so expect to take home a hefty doggy bag. Although you might find bigger establishments with more menu options or smaller ones with cheaper prices, Sum Yum Gai offers the best of both worlds and is the only Chinese place that I recommend visiting while you're in Miami.

I order out every night and while I enjoy the food at this restaurant ordering can be a hassle as the ladies answering the phone put you on hold and hang up on you alot. I'm not sure what there system is there but it seems to happen every time we call.
