Master Critic Review
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar
8.5
David Yeo's Hong Kong-born, Michelin-starred Northern Chinese concept landed in Brickell as its second U.S. location in 2019, bringing 35,000 hand-chiseled antique grey bricks transported from a 1930s Chinese building to line the soaring walls. The flaming Peking duck—air-dried for 36 hours—provides the theatrical centerpiece that justifies the $$$$, while the red lantern soft-shell crab and ma la chili prawns deliver on the promise of elevated Northern Chinese technique. The dramatic interior design alone makes it Instagram-worthy, but the food backs it up. Platform ratings diverge notably—some praise it as Miami's best Chinese, others note prices that sting. Worth the splurge for special occasions if you're prepared for the check.
