The problem is it's difficult to search for.
First, I know it existed in the 90s but I don't know the name. I can't even figure out where in the mall it used to be, though maybe if I try looking harder I might be able to figure it out.
Second, simply googling "Chinese restaurant Sawgrass Mills" gives an extraneous result, P.F. Chang's (which I actually don't recommend if you're looking for actual Chinese food but that's beside the point), and even if I exclude that there are the random Asian stalls in the two food courts.
All I know about this restaurant is that:
(1) it was located at one terminus of the mall
(2) it apparently had genuine Chinese food, possibly dim sum but I'm not sure
(3) the interior was well-decorated, with a little pond and some bridges crossing it

I just posted this here because I was inspired by Centie's dead mall thread.
(Sawgrass Mills is certainly not 'dead', just that that particular restaurant no longer exists.)
I've considered going around the mall and asking mall staff to see if they know this.
But there are some things the internet can't help us with.
