    Pineapple Fried Rice
    Cristina R.

    Last weekend I visited the Thai restaurant bonding. It's a very nice restaurant but casual. I went with another couple and all four of us enjoyed our meals and were very satisfied. I ordered the Tom Yum soup with extra Thai hot chili and I loved the spices and heat the soup had. I also ordered the volcano chicken and really enjoyed the spices and heat. All of the meals were packed with flavor and large portions, which left us leaving very full. The presentation of the food was also very nice and made the experience more elevated. The staff was extremely nice and very attentive. I highly recommend.

    Thai food holds a special place in my heart. And bonding Thai in Brickell for sure tugged my hearts strings. The place is small and intimate with a great spring like feeling. The service was fast and attentive and the food was amazing. The duck bao buns featured braised bbq shredded duck which was a first for me but was delicious nonetheless. The khao soi was te highlight for me having a perfect combination of sweet coconut milk, spices and lime. The pineapple fried rice didn't disappoint at all especially with the size perfectly meant for sharing. I would definitely recommend this place to any Thai food loving friends and will definitely make my way back soon to try other parts of the menu.

    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.

    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

    Red Curry

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Checking in!

    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.

    An Evening at Yamashiro…read more I had the pleasure of dining at Yamashiro on Wednesday evening with my best friend, and from start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional. It was one of those evenings where every detail--from the food and cocktails to the atmosphere and hospitality--came together beautifully. We started with cocktails. I ordered the Downtown Abbey made with Ketel One Vodka, guava, gold lavender syrup, yuzu, and Prosecco. At $22, it was beautifully balanced--refreshing, elegant, and, most importantly, not overly sweet. The combination of guava, lavender, and yuzu gave it a lovely balance of fruit, floral notes, and acidity. My friend enjoyed a passion fruit margarita, which was equally delicious and a perfect way to begin the evening. For our first course, we ordered several dishes to share. The Katsu Tender Sando was absolutely incredible--easily one of the highlights of the meal. It was so flavorful and satisfying that I could have happily ordered another one. The Cucumber Tataki Salad was the perfect contrast: crisp, tangy, refreshing, and light. It brought a beautiful freshness to the table and helped balance some of the richer dishes. We also had the steamed edamame with truffle, which was such a simple dish elevated by the addition of truffle. It was a subtle but very nice touch and showed how a familiar ingredient can feel completely different with the right finishing element. For our second course, we shared a sashimi and nigiri platter, and the quality of the fish really stood out. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, delicate, and beautifully prepared. Each piece allowed the natural flavor and texture of the fish to shine without being overwhelmed by unnecessary additions. For our main course, we had the ribeye steak, which was rich, flavorful, and perfectly suited for sharing. But if I had to choose one absolute favorite from the savory courses, it would be the miso butter corn. The combination of sweet corn with the savory richness of miso butter was incredible. It was one of those dishes that sounds simple but ends up being something you keep thinking about after the meal. We finished dinner with a lava cake, which was the perfect indulgent ending to the meal. But the evening didn't end there. After dinner, we were invited to experience the new 400 Vinyls room, and honestly, this was one of my favorite parts of the entire night. The room has a completely different energy while still maintaining the sophistication of Yamashiro. The atmosphere feels elevated yet warm and homey, making it an incredibly comfortable place to settle in and enjoy the rest of the evening. And then came the dirty martini--possibly one of the best dirty martinis I've ever had. Made with Beluga Gold, it was beautifully executed and exactly the kind of cocktail you want to end an evening with. The music was another highlight. It was incredibly diverse, with something for everyone, and it created an atmosphere that felt lively without becoming overwhelming. The 400 Vinyls room is truly the kind of space where you can see yourself staying for "just one more drink" and suddenly realizing you've spent the rest of the night there. Overall, Yamashiro gave us much more than just a great dinner. It was a complete experience--from the food and cocktails to the setting, music, and transition into the 400 Vinyls room. It felt sophisticated without being pretentious, intimate without being too quiet, and energetic without losing its sense of elegance. It was the perfect night out with my best friend, and 400 Vinyls was the perfect way to end it.

    A rare dining experience, A gem in the MIA…read more If I ever get to dine here again, It will be a gloriously delicious day! It's The Hungry Poet back at it y'all, and I must say, this was one of the most eclectic, sexy, fully satisfying food experiences of my life. From the time you walk in the vibe is we have a dress code and if you didn't follow it you're gonna stick out like a sore thumb! But this a place where you wanna be in sync with the vibe. It's intoxicating (and I don't drink!) When we entered there was nothing that could prepare me for the open roof-garden vibe. The dim lights and chill, ethereal music set the tone. Service and the food recommendations they made...spectacular. The service team was extremely knowledgeable about every dish. The dining pace is as such: order everything at once and they keep the items rolling out steadily. Dishes are made to share. But don't fight your table mates. The food is THAT good! The Katsu Sando is to die for. Maybe not die, but I might give a limb for it. Okay, a toe. It's disturbingly delicious and worth the price. I have to forget it exists or I'd crave it every day! All the sushi was uniquely flavored. Each roll was its own special treat for the palate, and had a flavor identity that was memorable and unlike anything I've ever tasted. The kimchi sauce that came with the goyza had a beautiful composition, not too spicy. That dessert was crazy flavorful and unlike any dessert I've ever eaten. It may sound like I'm exaggerating but an every minute of this dinner blew me away. Grab a reservation and treat yourself...it's worth the drive 100%. Another review giving it to you straight no chaser from Lizz aka The Hungry Poet.

The place isn't that big and seating is first come first serve. I got my food to go and I asked for chili oil on the side.

The Korean glass noodles were extremely HOT like they were still on the stove and I love that so much. I enjoy hot food. The portion size is definitely worth the price.

    Refreshing drinks and a beautiful atmosphere…read more Stopped by Sovereign in Miami and tried the Thai tea latte and Butterfly Lychee. The Thai tea latte was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with that classic bold tea flavor and subtle sweetness. The Butterfly Lychee was refreshing, light, and visually stunning, with a delicate floral note and fruity lychee flavor that made it feel perfect for Miami's warm weather. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the staff were happy to answer questions about the drink menu. The vibe is modern, stylish, and relaxing, with a beautiful interior that makes it a great place to catch up with friends, work remotely, or simply enjoy a drink. The space feels thoughtfully designed and inviting. Overall, a lovely café experience with well-crafted drinks and a great atmosphere. I'd definitely come back to try more of their specialty beverages.

The fish we ordered (not sure the name of the dish) was incredible too. The service was impeccable as well. The waiter we had was Francisco. Seriously the best server I've had in ages. He was extremely polite, friendly and attentive. Their bar is pretty legit too and the bartender is super nice and makes the best drinks. Love everything about this place, highly recommend!! :)

    Osaka Brickell: Extraordinary…read more My wife and I visited Osaka in Brickell, Miami, this evening--and I was so impressed that I rushed home to write this review. The Verdict In one word: extraordinary. We loved it. Restaurants often use the word "fusion" loosely, but at Osaka, it truly applies. The menu delivers Peruvian and Japanese fusion at its best: a thoughtful blend of South American and Japanese flavors, with each bite offering a beautifully engineered explosion of taste. Food The food is creative, beautifully presented, and genuinely unique--but Osaka offers much more than great dishes. Our server, Yesenia, guided us with recommendations that balanced our preferences with the restaurant's signature flavors, including a remarkably fresh sashimi amuse-bouche, Kiiro ceviche, a Hongos Teppan trumpet mushroom dish that was not listed on the menu, and a Nikkei Makimono that brought Peruvian flavors into a traditional sushi roll. The restaurant manager, Miki, also checked in during our meal. The service was casual, attentive, and perfect. Ambiance is paid to every detail. We ate at the sushi bar, but the main dining area was spectacular, and the bar area was sublime. Lastly, the music was a combination (fusion) of new age, Peruvian jungle music and Japanese sounds all blended into a crescendo on the experience. Try it....you'll love it. Ten out of ten !

    So I really wanted to love this place. I have heard about their ladies night and happy hour…read morespecials for a couple years now. My friend suggested we go here before a movie on a Wednesday afternoon. I got there early, as we were to be at the movies, at the Silverspot by 6pm. And ladies night/happy hour starts at 5pm. Upon arrival I was greeted warmly by the hostesses and asked if I was there for ladies night. Then I was given two drink tickets. I sat at an empty bar. There was only one other person seated on the other side. At 5:15 a pack of women (5-6 ppl) walked in and started claiming seats and moving barstools around. I was saving one for my friend who was parking the car. When out of nowhere a manager (or someone who appeared to be in charge) ripped over to where we were seated and started talking to me sternly about moving chairs and saving seats. Never have I been reprimanded for saving one seat at a bar when there were other seats open. But I communicated with her that my friend was parking, and that I hadn't moved any seats. She reiterated again, no saving seats and then addressed the girls who moved the bar stools. Her tone was abrasive and honestly given what had occurred seemed out of place, especially that the bar wasn't packed and the restaurant was empty. Unfortunately, this interaction really just tinted the whole experience for me. I was scolded for something benign and also for something I had not done. Before I was admonished, I managed to order a roll (spicy tuna maki) and a drink, the agave picante. Neither was outstanding but neither were bad either. However, given the fact that it was happy hour food/free drinks it was perfectly adequate, nice presentation on both. The bartender was sweet enough and given how the manager treated us I figured he probably received similar treatment from both management and customers, or either or. So I wanted to tip him well. However, when I went to pay, the gratuity was already included and I said to him I wanted to tip him more than $2.40, because honestly he wasn't at fault at all, for how I was treated by his coworker/superior. But I guess whatever system they use makes it difficult to change because he didn't make the effort to let me pay him more. (It took very long to get our check because of said system, not sure why, but the poor man had to go hunt something down to do so. I paid with a normal card, nothing out of the ordinary as did all the people in my party.) My friend who chose the place and the other patron who was sitting at the bar both commiserated with me about the interesting treatment, and said they never saw or experienced what I did. So I hope it was a one off and maybe I was just unlucky to be seated next to a large group of ladies. But overall, if I had to recommend a place for happy hour, this wouldn't be it. Plenty of other places have better options for food/drinks and better service in the area. But I guess if you can't afford to buy yourself 2 drinks at happy hour prices and you happen to be a female, I understand its appeal.

Then they pour the bottle touching the rim of your glass spreading contaminated germs from the other patron's glass! GROSS! They proudly boast that their service is top notch, while it's 7 men standing in the corner and 1 sweet woman dressed like a geisha being obnoxiously monitored. The vibe felt very intense there. The hovering over people in this tiny, little whole in the wall restaurant felt overwhelming. I started to lose my patience being that there is so much staff standing around and found myself several times having to pour my own wine bottle. 2nd, I told them it was my son's birthday and nobody went out of their way to make his birthday special! And just a fair warning, you will spend over a $1000 dollars and walk out of there still very hungry! What a disappointment! Furthermore, they price gouge people trying to pass off as if his restaurant is Michelin worthy! An absolute joke! And here's the "best part" when I tried to voice my concerns, I was told to leave! I was very polite and instead of hearing me out, trying to make my experience better, I get told to leave! How disgusting! Please don't come here.

We got there a bit before our reservation time, and they let us sit in the smaller dining area as we waited for our spots to open up. We all did the $200 tasting and we were all pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety of the bites. It's 8 courses that range from a nigiri sampler, small bites, and dessert. Most memorable were the clam broth, beef loin and carrots, and the fatty tuna nigiri with caviar on top. The fatty tuna nigiri with caviar was the main reason I wanted the tasting! There is an à la carte menu too, but it was a lot easier just letting the chefs portion out our meal. Would definitely check them out and enjoy a superb evening out!
