    Thai Basil
    A D.

    Great food and great service. Tried the Thai basil chicken and it was amazing. Friend had green curry and raved about it. Will come back for sure

    Bonding is in a prime spot right across from Brickell City Centre, so it's super easy to pop in. I got the chicken pad Thai from the $16 special and it was actually really good, the portion was big and it hit the spot. The shrimp buns though... total miss, they had no flavor at all. Service was okay, but the lady who took care of us was really sweet which made it nicer. Between three of us we ordered 2 apps, 3 plates, and dessert, and the bill came out to $125. Overall, decent but not amazing so I'd give it 3 stars.

    My friend and I absolutely love this restaurant, we tried a variety of dishes including Tom Yum soup, green curry, Pad Thai, and fried rice--and everything was delicious. The green curry and Pad Thai stood out in particular for their authentic flavors, truly exceeded our expectations. Be sure to try the Thai tea too!

    Overall, I would rate this establishment a commendable 3.5. The service was notably courteous, and the Thai cuisine, for the most part, was quite satisfactory. Their unique position as one of the few Thai dining options in the Brickell/Downtown area certainly works in their favor. I commenced my meal with the papaya salad, which was exemplary. Following that, the green curry proved to be very good as well. However, the Pad Thai was rather insipid, and the meat quality--both chicken and beef--was merely average. For dessert, the fried banana, although interesting, was overly fried. Despite these few flaws, I would consider a return visit. The overall dining experience was average, yet it remains a reasonable choice for Thai cuisine in the area. Plus the ambiance is nice. Nonetheless, I find myself unable to quite justify a full 4 stars.

    Red Curry
    Christoph F.

    I have been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years. The quality of the food and service stands out among the mostly average restaurants found throughout Brickell. The two servers, Oum and Mike, are courteous and kind, providing attentive service always with a smile. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, especially my favorite--the red curry with vegetables. You will not be disappointed, I certainly have never been in the more than 50 visits.

    This is a nice Thai restaurant behind Suit Supply behind Bricknell City Center shopping mall. I came here a year ago and this time I brought my husband for dinner. We arrived during happy hour. Food: you scan QR code for the menu. Since we arrived at happy hour, we ordered we got the fried gyoza for appetizers at happy hour prices. They were okay, the skin was a bit thick and the filling was lacking, but they were crunchy. I loved the green curry last time, so I ordered that again. The description said bamboo shoots and green beans. The dish came out temperature hot which I like and generous bowl of jasmine rice. The curry was a generous portion and packed full of bamboo shoots, but green beans were lacking, 3 in total, and overcooked. But I like the green curry flavor. I asked them to make me sweat for spice level and they delivered, I got some sweat around my eyes. My husband ordered the red curry, it also was supposed to have green beans, but he had 1. He was not happy with his dish and did not finish it. The experience will be based on what you order. I recommend green curry and not the red. Service: above average, our waiter has a good sense of humor, he was attentive and made sure we had water in our glasses. Asked if we wanted more beer, and just made sure we had everything we needed. Restaurant cleanliness: average Bathroom cleanliness: average

    Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice
    David D.

    Great service, wonderful experience, best thai food i've had in Miami to date. We had the pineapple rice, lettuce wraps, and pad thai. We also made it in for happy hour and Thai beers were $5 each!

    Drive quickly on South Miami Avenue and you'll miss one of the original Thai places in the Brickell area. Although the wall mural points out the opening as 12/12/12, it feels like a cozy institution, like it's been in the Brickell area forever. Their seating runs the gamut from dog-friendly outside, to both the bar and tables inside. Service was really attentive, and the food tasty. The volcano chicken I enjoyed had a sweet bit of hear to it, and the milk tea was a great dessert.

    Came here on a Friday night for a quick grab to eat, service was great. I really enjoyed the chicken fried rice with pineapple, it was amazing! Def will be back

    Had a great time at Bonding! Definitely try the Bangkok chicken wings and the passion fruit sake. The service was great and I loved the vibe. I will definitely be back SOON!

    Is this a more casual place or nice? Trying to figure out how to come dressed. You never know with Miami.

    Casual, not fancy at all. Shorts and t-shirts type of place, plus business casual crowd for lunch.

    I came here to scratch a sushi itch and received a deep tissue massage…read more I must preface that I am a sushi snob. I have walked out of places that served fishy fish. Then there's the other end of the spectrum -- the kind of restaurant that reminds you why sushi can feel less like dinner and more like art, hospitality, and therapy in one sitting. Uchiko Miami sits firmly in that category. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance struck the perfect balance between modern elegance and traditional Japanese warmth. It feels refined without being cold, stylish without trying too hard, and intimate without feeling small. Every detail seems intentional. The food was exceptional, but what elevated the night was the experience around it. The fish was clean, precise, and beautifully handled. Every bite had that rare quality where you pause for a second because you don't want to rush past it. The flavors were layered, balanced, and surprising in the best way. The service was just as memorable. The staff were welcoming from the start, and my server turned the evening into something personal. I ordered what I came for, but kept being gifted thoughtful additions that made the meal feel curated rather than transactional. It is rare to feel both spoiled and completely at ease, but that is exactly what happened. Uchiko did not just satisfy a sushi craving. It reset the bar. This was one of those meals where you leave already thinking about when you can come back.

My wife and I arrived at 6:15 PM for happy hour, but our server didn't come to the table for about 10 minutes. When they finally arrived, we were told happy hour was over and we could not order any happy hour items. I spoke with the manager and explained that we had arrived before the cutoff and only missed it because nobody came to our table. While I understand having rules, I was surprised they wouldn't even honor a happy hour drink for my wife and me given the circumstances. The issue wasn't the discount--it was the lack of flexibility and customer service. After being told there was nothing they could do, we decided to leave. Still a great restaurant with excellent food, but this was a disappointing experience.

I could not…read morefollow that rule with Kuffo though...this restaurant is simply too good to not return again and again. The restaurant is named after the owner's grandma. How can anybody not appreciate a guy that loves his grandma? But there is more to Fernando than just that. He actually sums it up on his website when he writes, "cooking is my passion my real joy comes from making my guests happy." Having been there a few times now, I have grown certain that these are not just words. This sentiment comes from the heart and is evident in not just the amazing food, the attentive service, and the beautiful decor but also in the personal attention he shows every customer. It is not just business to him, it is personal. The food here is spectacular. So far I have tried a bento box which included miso soup, chicken padthai, and sashimi. The combination of flavors, the freshness of the fish, and the presentation were outstanding. I believe the dashi base for the soup must be made from scratch because the soup is so flavorful but, if not, I must find out where he gets it. The fish is nicely portioned and of a high quality. The padthai is not overly sweet like at so many restaurants which allows you to enjoy the perfect balance of savory ingredients including the perfectly cooked noodles. The portion is generous...enough to take some home. I have also had the Mongolian Chicken and the Ginger Glazed Salmon. Each of these were excellent, again sharing that perfect balance of flavors. I would call each of these dishes memorable. The only appetizer I have tried is the gyoza. It was outstanding. I like them fried but not oily, crispy on one side, with moist and not over-seasoned filling. These surpassed my expectations. The word perfect comes to mind. The only reason I have not tried any other appetizers is because the main courses are so generous. For the same reason I have yet to try dessert. I have also not tried any of the side dishes. Strangely, I have ordered sweet plantains twice, but for some reason, they were not served to me either time so I cannot comment on them. The experience was so good that is strange omission did not distract from the experience of the meal. The services is simply outstanding, the food is great and the vibe of the restaurant just creates a wonderful dynamic experience. But again what puts it over the top is the personal intention of the owner who treats us like we are his most valuable customer ever every time we walk in. And we will walk in. Often. kuffo is that good!

Not only was the food outstanding at Kuffo, but the service was also exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant's cozy and cute ambiance added to the overall charm, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's the perfect place for a nice chill dinner or lunch.

Food highlights: Baby Corn in parmesan cream with paprika was the dish of the night. Crispy Truffle Fried Rice hearty and satisfying. Miso soup clean. Salmon Furai solid. Sushi enjoyable though the rice lacks the refinement of Miami's top raw bars. Vegetarians: limited options -- one Veggie Roll and uncertain tofu preparation when we asked to add it to the rice. Service warm but plates were cleared twice while we were still eating. On billing: 20% service charge added automatically, then the receipt suggests an extra 2-5% tip on top -- worth knowing upfront. OpenTable users: if you're redeeming a Dining Reward card, the staff hadn't encountered one before -- but the manager handled it graciously and honored the full amount without issue. Family-friendly, fair value, genuinely memorable evening.
