I went here randomly just to get see what a Thai Tapas restaurant was. Basically they have noodle soup bowls. The noodles were rice noodle , not wheat noodle so I was good with that. I ordered the spicy seafood bowl that has the pinkish color to it. I'm not sure what spices were in there, but it was mild to me. It could (and I wish) have been alot spicier. The waitresss gave me a no refund" warning so I was somewhat of a letdown when the soup was mild. But overall good and the price was very good

Food= 5 ⭐️Location= 3 ⭐️Waiter= 5 ⭐️Host/hostess= 1 ⭐️Value= 3⭐️I was meeting my son here for dinner. It was early (about 5pm), so there were plenty of tables available inside and out. My son was running late. I asked for a table for two and the hostess told me that they won’t seat me until my son gets there. My son had a gig at 6 nearby. I wanted to order our food so that it would be there waiting for him when he got there. Instead I had to just stand there in front of the restaurant for 20 minutes! I also could have had a glass of wine while I waited but they refused to let me sit down alone! What difference would it have made? The smallest table is for 2 people, not one! It would have taken up the exact same amount of space to seat one person as it would to seat 2! Then, by the time my son arrived the two other tables outside that were available were 4 tops and they would not sit us at them. ? There were some ladies about to leave the 2 top table outside so we sat at the 4 top and waited for them to leave. ? Absolutely ridiculous!The waiter who came was very nice, but I refused to order anything to eat there and give them my money! I waited until we were at my son’s gig at Terras and I ate there instead. So, they ended up only serving one person anyway! If they could have been a little more accommodating, especially at a slow time like 5pm then I would have loved to eat and drink there and our tab would have been double what it was.I gave the food 5 stars because my son said it’s the best Thai food in Miami. I tried a bite, and yes, it was good.I won’t be back. I even tried to talk my son out of eating there.Oh, and those two 4-top tables were still empty when we left. And, they made my son late for his gig, forcing me to wait to order our food. You have a lot to learn about customer service!

Very interesting and tasty place. Off the main area and very nonchalant appearance is not an obstacle to make this place very busy. So reservation is highly recommended. Also you have to order all of your food at once, you will not be able to add any dishes once your order is placed. Like I said the food is very tasty I really liked their fried mushrooms, crab and curry noodles. The only reason why I gave 4 stars is because the way they treated as once they see that we about to finish our food. They have asked at leat 5 times if need the check and almost took away unfinished food, kind of forcing us to leave as plenty of people were waiting. The place is popular, but I personally don't like this kind of pressure

Had the beef curry, beef salad which are my favorites so far. You can only order once and its a small place. Go during lunch!

Decent Thai…not something I associate with Miami. Khao soy was not savory enough / too much coconut for my pref. Mushrooms over breaded. Maybe I ordered wrong bc people love this place

Pleasantly surprised. I say that because in the past I traveled often on business to Thailand and got to eat the delicious authentic food there. When I eat Thai food in other countries it often does not measure up to what I had in Thailand. I was in the mood for shrimp Pad Thai and it was very good as were the dishes of my 4 companions. Friendly people running the place are from Thailand. If you want Thai, here you won't go wrong

Fast, delicious and pretty cheap for the quality of food you get. Wings, beef and duck salad were all amazing. The larb, duck basil and baby back ribs also phenomenal. Passionfruit sake nice and refreshing too

I would highly recommended this place for the food but not the ambience although we really enjoyed the whole experience. We stumbled across this place in Little Havana, by the time we left there was a queue in the street. You ordered from an online menu and the idea is you order food only once and it comes quite quickly - the quality of the food is very high. I wouldn’t say they rush you but it is not somewhere you are going to spend a long time. The staff are friendly and match the quick tempo.

The food is five stars (very good dumplings and pad thai) but all the strange rules make it two stars. You can only order one time... no "can I get another order of dumplings" later on. If you want take home food, you also have to order that right away. They also blast music intentionally inside so you leave faster (sit outside if possible). Overall, good food but not sure I'd recommend to someone without going with them due to all the policies.

Loud music but delicious food. As my friend says they really try to turn over tables quickly which is great for people waiting but it means you are going to be a little rushed in leaving your table. Warning! You must order everything at once!!! No changing your order later. Will definitely be back, popular place for a good reason. Curry and dumplings are fantastic. Thai coffee was a winner too.
