| Hutong
by Juliana Accioly Updated

A couple of savory bites here, a couple of sweet and sour bites there (there’s no set way to go about it) create a meal of small plates of dumplings called dim sum — like its translation from Chinese — is one to truly “touch the heart.”

From the coveted har row variety (steamed shrimp dumplings) to the popular siu mai (formed in wonton wrapper open-faced and steamed), these bite-sized delicacies make for a wonderful lunch or dinner solo or with friends to pair with sake, beer, or a warm cup of tea.

Miami’s food landscape is dotted with great places to savor dim sum; read below for the eight best options to try now.
