Tanka Modern Asian Cuisine & 川渝印象

Pleasantly surprised by this place! It’s tucked inside the Grand dated mall that we’ve walked through countless times, and honestly never thought twice about trying it. Yesterday we finally did — and wow, what a mistake it was not to come sooner. The ambiance is warm and inviting, the service was genuinely friendly and attentive, and every single dish we ordered was delicious. You can really tell care goes into both the food and the experience. We tried the dumplings in chili oil, hot & sour soup, Mongolian beef, Singapore noodles, and a couple of rolls — and each dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. It’s rare to find a place where everything hits. On top of that, the pricing is very reasonable for the quality you get, which made it even better. Such an unexpected gem in a spot we had totally overlooked. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend giving it a try if you’re in the area — don’t make the same mistake we did by walking past it for years. 😊

Unfortunately not impressed with the visit. Ordered 1 x gluten free JB roll. I received it and had no cream cheese. Brought to staff attention and they ‘made a new one quickly’ which after I got back to my hotel room I realized was them smearing a small amount of cream cheese on top of most pieces. Would not recommend this place if you have any allergy corners. Staff were super friendly. But 0/10 overall for the food.

Its a ok experience. I wouldn’t come back here though. not worth the time. The food is on the expensive side, the seasoning pepper beef had triple the vegetable than meat. It tastes really good but are so many better restaurants with the same taste at a lower price. The staff doesn’t even understand their own chinese items. Their attention skills are a bit lacking. The service took a long time to serve dishes that weren’t even that complex. At least the atmosphere is friendly and quiet. They have good decor as well. Looks pleasant.

From the moment I sat down, the vibe was relaxing and classy. The sushi was incredibly fresh — every roll had perfect texture and flavor. Presentation was beautiful too; you can tell they put real care into the details. I ordered a sushi roll platter and a signature cocktail, and both were amazing. The drink was smooth, refreshing, and garnished with an orchid — a great touch. The sushi was balanced, not too heavy, and the quality of the fish really stood out. Even the ginger and wasabi tasted fresher than usual. Service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The staff made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend for a date night, dinner with friends, or just treating yourself. Definitely one of the best sushi spots in Miami. I’ll be coming back for sure!

Manka’s dumplings are absolutely outstanding all homemade, incredibly fresh, and full of flavor. The spices are perfectly balanced and clearly high quality, enhancing every bite without overpowering it. You can really taste the care and freshness that goes into each dumpling. A must-try for anyone who appreciates authentic, freshly made food.

We visited here multiple nights while on vacation. The drinks were very tasty and reasonably priced something that is hard to find in Miami. I also highly recommend the Lucky sushi roll it was delicious!

The sushi was very fresh and delicious, soups were comforting and full of flavor, and the lychee martini was absolutely perfect. Loved everything!

Great sushi, drinks, udon, etc! We stayed at the Marriott here a few times in the last month, and stopped in for dinner, drinks, etc. the service is great, it’s a warm, cozy, environment, and Anthony is an amazing sushi chef! Also, their banana old fashioned is fabulous, and the ice comes in the shape of a teddy bear!!

我们住在亚特兰大，因为这店有四川重庆的美食和日本寿司，朋友介绍后打电话提前预订了川菜，非常正宗，好吃，也点了寿司和鸡尾酒，确实很有格调和高档，强烈推荐大家去吃美食。

The mochi is soooooo good! Employees are very nice too. Would recommend the mango mochi, come for lunch. My opinion.

Solid place! I came here with my friend as we needed someplace to get a snack before the evening. We came during their "happy hour" but weren't aware that that's only applied to drinks. We each got appetizers (I got the spring rolls) an he got the chicken gyoza. Both tasted great and I loved the sauce that came with the rolls. Drink wise, I got the passion fruit lemon drop which was super tasty! I've never heard of or had that variation before, but I liked it so much I plan on ordering it in the future! As for the menu, there are several things to choose from. The bartender was great and the service matched.

We were taken to Tanka by my cousin who lives in the area. It is a small, beautifully decorated restaurant with a variety of Asian dishes, as well as sushi, and a very nice bar area. The service was excellent except for the fact that all 4 of our entrees came out separately with almost 10 minutes in between. So the 1st person served was almost finished before the last person was served. The last meal out was the clay pot and it was boiling hot - literally still bubbling and way too hot to eat. Issues with the kitchen aside, all of our food was absolutely delicious. My Thai Curry chicken had the perfect ratio of chicken to vegetables and the Mongolian beef was tender and flavorful. I have now found my go to place for Asian when I'm in Miami.

We stopped here for the first time night before last as we are in Miami for a cruise. The food was beyond exceptional. The waitstaff was attentive and we decided to return for another dinner there tonight. Again, everything we ordered was beyond phenomenal. The prices are good and the drinks are strong. We can't wait to come back to this restaurant the next time we are in Miami. Definitely a five star recommendation.

Stopped in to give it a try since staying at the Doubletree hotel. I really enjoyed this place. Very clean place with cool decor. The menu is very diverse. Service was top notch. Food was excellent.

We were in the area after attending Luminosa, and it was getting late at night, and Tanka was open late. Our group was promptly seated, and we ordered a few appetizers to share: Crab Rangoon, Pan Fried Pork Buns, Salt & Pepper Calamari. For Entrées House, Special Fried Rice, Plantain Roll, Mongolian Beef, Orange Beef, plain Noodles for the children. All the food was excellent. Service was good. The ambiance is very nice.

Went there today because the group was hungry. Ambience is nice. Staff friendly but not attentive. It was not busy. Hot and sour soup came at the end of the meal. No taste. Udon beef noodles were good. Not much beef. Mongolian beef taste was good but beef was chewy. Curry beef was not good barely any taste and unlike any curry dish I have had. Tons of potatoes, very little beef. Not sure how they have such a high rating. Plus. 22% service charge for below average service. Won't ever return.

Place is delicious and affordable! Everything is hot and fresh. Staff is pretty good. You know this place is going to be amazing when there are a ton of Asian people eating there! It didn't disappoint at all. The drink was delicious and something I had never had. The food was fresh, done perfectly and presentation was beautiful. My poke bowl was $19 and I couldn't finish it. I don't recall the other prices, and let me tell you, doesn't matter because you get a lot for you money. Happy hour is all day M- Th and I believe up until 6:00pm F-Sun. Drinks are half price. So the old fashioned way as $10. What a deal! If you don't want delicious food at great prices and leave full, then this is definitely the place for you.

This is a hidden gem worth finding. The ambiance, food and service were excellent! We will definitely hit it again on a future trip to Miami.

Had a great time at Tanka. Came in while on a work trip staying at a nearby hotel. The food was amazing. I'm a sucker for crispy rice and this one did not disappoint. The dragon roll was also great. I think the ceviche was missing a little something, but still good. Did not expect the brownie to be a whole slice of cake, but I was not upset by that. Would suggest to anyone in the area or staying nearby.

Why is this place is not packed?! It's okay, it can be my little secret gem. This place surprised me fully. Great portions, attentive staff and flavors that make me crave for more. I seriously overate and it was because I could not stop myself. chicken lettuce wraps 5 spice marinade, cashews, bean sprouts, bib lettuce, pickled cucumber, pickled chili $21 pork and shrimp siu mai sweet black vinegar sauce $16 Peking duck whole steamed bao buns, house made hoisin sauce, chili oil $50 half / $95 whole Mongolian beef 8 oz, scallion, crispy noodles $28

Amazing Thai restaurant in the Doubletree The Grand! Great option if you want a night in. The staff were wonderful, ambiance is great, and the food was delicious!!

Wonderful and super friendly wait staff!!! The food was amazing and delicious!!! The hidden menu was unbelievable nice!!! The happy hour is for drinks only--awesome presentation for every items!!!

The Service was Amazing! The bartender who is an Artist was Amazing. He was kind, knowledgeable of the menu and made delicious drinks. I had 4 of the purple drink and came back to my hotel room dancing and then went to sleep. My dinner companion had tried a variety of drinks. We had the bogo happy hour special. The food was delicious, we had the Tanka roll, Mongolian Chicken and Shrimp Fried Rice. Everything was good.

Enjoyed the service, location, drinks, food, and wait time. It was super dark, that's probably only the old down side. We tried the pork bow puns, cowboy roll, Mongolian beef, Miami and coconut drink. Super tasty and fast service.

the food was amazing and the server was so attentive. the atmosphere was perfect for dinner. my husband and I were thrilled when his old fashioned came with an ice cube in the shape of a teddy bear. 10/10 would recommend!

I flew in from Dallas and arrived at 10pm- the sushi was as fresh as if I was there the day it arrived. Amazing chef and relaxed attitude. Come checks it out- you won't be disappointed!

Very traditional and original taste. Like it!!! Sol is very nice to us, especially as a Chinese, this restaurant is very Chinese taste. 川菜非常正宗，别让这店倒了下次找不到这么好吃的了。

Rainbow bowl and Aurora Rainbow roll were amazing!!! Roll was $22 so pretty costly but it was 10-12 pieces of medium size. The ginger was a little dry. The bowl was $19 and a good size--but may want to get a small app with it. Very fresh and tasty tuna, salmon, shrimp, crab. Ordered as takeout so can't speak to ambiance other than 8pm on a Wednesday was EMPTY. Not sure if typical in Miami but different price for card vs cash--I've seen this with gasoline but never in a restaurant. Not sure if the prices are standard for Miami but for a non-Miami person, was kinda costly for 2 items.

Food is very good Service is extremely slow. Ambience is very nice Need to hire more servers to be able to provide a better service

Great Chinese restaurant. Prob one of the best I've tried in Miami. Delicious Peking duck! Quite authentic.

This is a small restaurant that can be a little difficult to find. It is in the back of a mall inside a hotel. The service was good and the food was delicious. I would definitely go back.

Absolutely phenomenal Asian fusion restaurant in the heart of Miami. Went on a Thursday night, the atmosphere is so cute, beautifully decorated and the service was great. Hashimi Jalapeño appetizer was exceptional. Fresh yellowtail with a ponzu sauce and sliced jalapeño, so so delicious. The cucumber sashimi sushi roll was excellent and my friends enjoyed the shrimp tempura roll and the spicy dragon roll. They also have a great happy hour! Highly recommend!

Beautiful decor, attentive service and most importantly delicious food. It's not easy to find quality Chinese food in Miami but Tanka is our new favorite.

The service is awful. I have been waiting for my order for a long time. I have ordered wanton soup and dinner entree with house fried rice. The fried rice came out first. So i asked the server where's the soup and she told me that they will serve what was cooked first. I worked in a restaurant and I know how it works. No apologies for the wait. So it's been 35 minutes and no food. The Mongolian beef came with the early cooked fried rice that is now cold. So when the food was brought out I asked where is my order General Tao chicken, the waitress said oh let me check. The waitress never came around to check on us. The food is just ok nothing to brag about. For the price we paid it's not worth it. I have been watching the other table s and food was placed on the wrong tables.

If you can find it, you will be very impressed. Food is spectacular and the cocktails even better. Victor the bartender is a mixologist extraordinaire I have an Asian wife who is very picky when it comes to Chinese American food and she was blown away. Everything made from scratch, nothing frozen here. We ate in Klaw the night before but preferred it here. The pork bun is authentic, delicious and worth coming back as are all the appetizers. My wife loved her mapo tofu. Definitely coming back.

Excellent food. The sour vegetable fish soup and 3 cup chicken were the best I have ever had.

I can only speak to food quality as I got delivery ...but the crystal vegetable dumplings were great, and the MaPo Tofu was incredibly tasty. As a vegetarian oriented eater, it was great to find delicious options here. I look forward to trying more dishes!

Beautiful ambience great service delicious food. Very nice to enjoy with family and friends.

Looking for a fancy Chinese place to eat Peking duck? Look no further! This place has everything: nice interior, great service, amazing drinks, and delicious food with pretty decent portions. We ran out of pancakes for the duck and the extra portion was $5. Enjoy!

I love the environment. It was very relaxing. The service was fast and the server was very pleasant. The food was excellent. I would recommend the soup dumpling..

The food and atmosphere were very good. Everyone was pleasant. However, the service was not very good. Perhaps understaffed, which happens, but it detracted from the overall experience and interest in returning.

Highly recommend the sesame crusted jalapeño hamachi. They leave a few seeds in for heat! Excellent! You'll want to order one for the table and one for yourself. Service was prompt and professional. Tried the pad Thai this time, very good. They didn't ask me for spicy rating. It came out fairly spicy. It was probably a 4 on scale 1-10. I like 6. I will definitely be back. Ambiance was very sophisticated.

This was a beautiful restaurant to dine in. Our waiter was prompt, professional and had great recommendations. Love the colors in the restaurant and it had a very upscale yet laid back vibe. Manager cared about his customers and asked everyone how their experience was. Drinks were strong and our bartender even asked us how we enjoyed them. Food was very delicious! So many great items on the menu. The bathrooms were clean and posh. Wish we had more time to try this place again. Interior design was 10/10! Great for an anniversary or first date.

Made a reservation and the hostess and manager were very friendly to greet and accommodate our wait for table despite my friends being late. The ambiance is dimly lit with a show kitchen. Quite a good crowd, with table turnover. People were quite dressy here. The food was very flavorful. I liked the pork bao bun and king salmon the best. The garlic fried rice was also a table favorite. While my friends enjoyed the duck, I felt it was a bit too fatty. The raspberry almond cake was a nice finish, and I would welcome an extra dessert option or two. I'd come back here - the food was good. Minor preferences that would be welcome from me by might be right for others: lower the music volume a tad and expand the menu with a few more dishes. Prices were above average, whereas portion size was average. The richness in the food left me and my party satisfied nonetheless.

I was excited to try this newish spot for modern Chinese food in Edgewater. The space is nicely decorated, dark and cozy with a large bar for seating. Located in the same building as the doubletree hotel. The menu/food is good, but the prices honestly do not match up with the taste. The wagyu dumplings were excellent, but came room temp, almost cold. Everything else was just ok... we ordered the shrimp and garlic fried rice for the entree. The shrimp came without the rice, after about 10 minutes we asked about our server to check on it but didn't end up come out for about another 10 mins. Our server did apologize (prob not her fault) and she did comp the dessert which was a nice gesture for sure. Would I try again? Sure, but not running back.

This was a small restaurant with quality food. The lighting was low, which created great atmosphere but made it hard to read the menu. It's Chinese food with a more upscale take on the taste of the food. The most annoying part of our meal is they forgot my meal. We had a group of seven people and everybody received their meal except me. I told are server they forgot to bring my meal out at the point where everyone was already done eating. The server argued with me and said they didn't forget my meal. 10 minutes later it came out with zero apologies and everyone at the table got to watch me eat.

The menu is a cool, modern take on American Chinese. The dishes that were good were flavorful, but different from what you'd normally expect from a Chinese joint in the US. Keep that in mind if you decide to come. There were a few dishes that were absolute hits-- bao buns, peking duck, general tanka chicken, and garlic fried rice. The chocolate surprise dessert was also delicious! The Peking duck comes flambéd, which was quite fun! The skin was nice and crispy. However, there were dishes that were not so great. The dim sum was bland and had an odd texture, which was such a let down because shumai is usually one of my favorites. Our drinks were watered down, too. The location is not the best, either. The restaurant is inside a dingy mall. Its pretty dark in restaurant too, which I'm not the biggest fan of. Our server was ok but our busser/food runner was fantastic! He described the dishes before placing them on the table and had a great attitude. We'll be back now that we know which dishes to avoid.

I had the best prayer short ribs. I've eaten in a long time we had the Peking duck, which was excellent. The fried rice was very flavorful. The food was truly excellent. Service is amazing. The servers knew a lot about the menu and made some great suggestions. Really great crowd. It's reasonably priced for the area. I strongly recommend this experience. Till next time bon appétit

Absolutely blown away. We ordered three plates and all were perfect. What a treat it is to go to a restaurant and love everything served. This restaurant is a little hidden, but you owe it to yourself to discover it.

Anthony is the superstar! Sushi is very good and he knows exactly what he is doing! Delicious sushi, gyoza, and noodles! Be sure to stop by this hidden gem!

Walked into Tanka Asian restaurant first let me say, this is a beautiful restaurant it was dimly lit and very welcoming. I was immediately seated and given a paper menu. Now for this to be such a nice restaurant I was given a paper menu. I was like is this your menu? But I am here for the food and drinks and not the menu so I digress. I ordered a drink called the Purple Moon it was made with Belvedere vodka, St Germain, Lavendar syrup and lemon juice. The drink was ok a little to much lavendar syrup which made it very syrupy. I ordered sushi for my appetizer the Spicy dragon roll which was made with shrimp tempura, salmon, cucumber topped with spicy mayo, spicy tuna and avocado. The sushi was amazing everything was fresh was not so spicy I had to drink water after eating but just a hint of spice just enough which was perfect for me. I ordered the pad thai for my main entree. I ordered it with beef and shrimp and again it tasted amazing. The noodles were cooked perfectly the shrimp was cooked perfectly and the beef was very tender. The flavors were flavoring lol! I will definately return to try other items on the menu. If you are ever in Miami in the Biscayne Bay area and have a taste for Asian food, do yourself a favor and check this place out!

SERVICE WAS AWFUL!!!! If I could give zero stars I would. When we arrived they were about 60% full even less full by the time we left. After about 8min we were able to order two cocktails & a Texas Roll. We got the two cocktails no problem. Several people including the manager tried to take our menus & we told them we hadn't ordered & were ready. The manager came by again to take our menu & told her again we hadn't ordered & were ready. This time took our menu anyway. About 5-10min later we were finally able to order our meal. Still didn't have our TX roll. My husband ordered hot & sour soup and Szechuan chicken (which is just chicken nuggets with chili oil, no veg or rice) I ordered chicken gyoza. After all the tables around us who came in and ordered after us had their food. We asked where our food was and was told they were REALLY busy (there were several empty tables). We finally got the TX roll, chicken, & soup all at once all ice cold. My husband had to remind them several times about my food. By the time my oil soaked gyoza arrived my husband was done. Trying to get any kind of service was ridiculous. The manager had no solutions to the issues we had just the excuse that they were busy. (If that was busy then they're not used to having much business on a Friday night in downtown Miami). When we got the check no discount was given, not even an apology. The manager offered a discount only after a negative review was mentioned.

Good Asian spot in Miami, nice dim sum as well as good curry. I would recommend to anyone visiting

The inside is super sleek and date night perfect. Would also be a great place for drinks with friends. Love the decor. The matchmaker margarita was spot on. The Dim sum was delicious! The shrimp fried rice could have used more flavor. Staff was nice and the food came quickly.

This was our first time ever going to Tanka and the experience and atmosphere was amazing and they have such high expectations for what comes out of their kitchen, everything we have there was absolutely spectacular. We tried the Peking duck with boa buns and we have been searching for somewhere to get it from that can match Tanka but NOWHERE CAN COMPARE! Our server was very observant and whenever our drinks were close to being empty he would come and refill it without us even having to ask. Overall Tanka has been one of the best restaurants I've ever been to and me and my family will definitely be coming back

Stumbled on the restaurant while staying in a hotel nearby. We like Chinese food and this is the best Chinese I've had in a long time. The Service was great - very attentive. The location itself was very nice with a nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

We stopped there for lunch. It was excellent! The food and service was excellent. Unexpectedly, we hit daytime happy hour and got a discounted drink. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The food was great!i
