The Latest Miami Restaurant Openings, January 2025 | Eater Miami
"An acclaimed Toronto restaurant and celebrity magnet from Big Hug Hospitality—founded by Culinary Director David Schwartz and Brandon Marek of Harlo Entertainment—opened at the end of December, bringing the Toronto original to the U.S. Schwartz, alongside Executive Chef Braden Chong (who also helm Toronto’s original Mimi Chinese and Sunnys Chinese), lead the kitchen and are explicitly "honing in on — not reinventing — the best of regional Chinese cuisine." Menu highlights at the dramatic, sophisticated Alton Road space include specialties from Hunan, Taiwan, Sichuan, and Guangdong, such as Hunan chili sea bass, hidden crispy chicken, the Four Foot Belt Noodle, and Chongqing hidden crispy chicken." - Clair Lorell
