We were in the mood for some Chinese food, and since Tony Chan's Water Club had some generally positive reviews, we decided to check it out. Getting there from the Hilton Downtown Miami was a little tricky if you didn't want to cross any street and use the crosswalk that connected the hotel to the Grand Double Tree where the restaurant was located. After having to ask several people for help, we finally found the restaurant.
When we got to Tony Chan's Water Club, unfortunately it was already getting very dark so we couldn't really enjoy the view to the marina. We were greeted and sat down, though it took longer than expected before they came to take our order. Not sure if it was because we didn't order any drinks, but the wait staff seemed much more enthusiastic and attentive with large tables, especially the ones that ordered alcohol. It was cool that there were huge windows into the kitchen where diners could look in and see the 3 chefs cooking with the woks.
We ordered chicken fried rice ($12), stir fried noodles with beef ($14), tofu seafood pot ($18) and eggplants in garlic sauce ($11). The prices were way up there, but we did have a Restaurant.com "coupon", so it made the prices more acceptable despite the 18% gratuity that was forced upon. The portions were not too much but not too small either. The taste was good and certainly authentic. Not surprising since the entire staff was Chinese.
Overall we certainly would return to the restaurant. Don't expect stellar service if you don't look like a big spender, but the food was tasty and the price reasonable when you do use a certificate from Restaurant.com.
