The good... I went for my birthday and had 16 friends with me. The food was great as expected except that some dishes came out in 3minutes and others took 20 minutes. I understand that we were a big group but it would have been a bit better to try to serve the dishes somewhat together. Everyone enjoyed their meal I bought a bunch of appetizers for the table and they were good, but small. I also ordered a nice malbec. The bad... Shortly before my wine glass was dry, the waiter asked if I wanted another. I said yes that I did, so he brought another one shortly. While placing it on the table, he gladly announced that the wine was "on the house"...meaning a gift. I thanked him, of course. However, when the bill came, he charged me for 2 glasses of wine. When I confronted him about it afterwards, he said "oooooh" and kind of cowered like someone caught in a lie. He told me "yea, sorry it is already on the bill..." So I pushed him again, "so why did you offer me the second glass if you then charged it? I can pay for it, but I do not agree that you offered it to me and then you are charging me for it." He did not have a good answer; and he did not apologize, nor offer to remove it from the bill. After much awkwardness, finally the manager came by and I explained the situation. He offered to rerun the bill without the second glass of wine. It was shame that this mishap occurred, because the evening was nice otherwise. read more

I don't understand how this place is rated 4 stars. They don't serve sashimi or nigiri and their rolls were so sour my face automatically cringed. Their Thai food might be okay but if you are looking for anything Japanese - avoid this place at all cost. Service staff were friendly. read more

We wandered into this restaurant and we were immediately taken by the atmosphere and service. They had beautiful roses on every table and huge fresh flower arrangements. Our waitress was knowledgeable of the menu and friendly and patient. We went around 10 PM and didn't have to wait for a table (not always and easy thing to find in Brickell). Dishes are to share, and we had the chicken fried rice and the yellow coconut curry dish (I can't remember the name, but it had potatoes and an avocado on top). Both were delicious and it was plenty of food - we had leftovers for later. We would definitely go to Bonding again. Note they don't have a full liquor bar, but do have a large selection of Japanese beer, wine and Saki. read more

Delicious food and friendly people! I sat at the bar and I got a free seared tuna salad

Went for lunch...service was great, the quality of the fish was EXCELLENT! Everything was fresh and delicious. Had option #4 from the Japanese menu Can't wait to go back :) read more

My boyfriend and I just came for dessert and O-M-G!! The Thai donuts and cheesecake roll are a MUST have! Service is really great too! There is a guy with Amazing hair as well.. You'll know when you see him read more

The food is amazing I love Thai cuisine I have tried every Thai restaurant in Miami And this one is the best I am so happy to finally have a place where I can eat such good food The place is great. And the best is that they do delivery If they could come and replace miss yip in my building it would be even better read more

Giving it 5 stars just based on the dessert, had the Thai doughnuts and they were great. Butttttttt the strawberry cheesecake roll now that was freaking amazing. I took one bite and it was like having sex for the first time. Ahhhhh sooooo good read more

Finally a great sushi place in Miami!! I just moved here from LA and must have tried 5 places in the Brickell area...but this one is by far the best! read more

Bonding is fantastic. Beef pad thai, chicken red curry, and brickelpolitan were all 5 stars.

We did have the entire restaurant to ourselves on a Friday night- -where is everyone? Parking is around back for $10. The service was just okay. I sat for awhile with an empty glass, but yet we were the only diners and there were like 6 people working-hum.... To me, the prices are high for what you get. Most rolls are $16-$18 each. The tuna was very fresh and tasty, but I would expect more on the plate for what you pay. I have a thing with sushi rolls being too large to eat in one bite and I had this problem here. I like to be able to enjoy each roll and taste all the flavors, but when a piece is stacked too high, it is a challenge. These rolls are more like inside out rolls. My husband loved it, I on the other hand just thought it was okay. I would have liked a cocktail menu or something more than what they offered. read more

I work in the Brickell area and sushi is something I crave probably 3 times a week. Enter: Bonding. Although it took the place of my former favorite french bistro (RIP LouLous- you were delicious!), it's hard to be loyal when the food is so damn good! The lunch specials are on point- price wise ($10) & taste wise. Dinner's are great also. Bonding offers a selection of unique rolls that really hit the spot. The part I look forward to the most is the different soup you get (for free!) at the start of your meal. The food is fresh & tasty and the service is great. Weekdays around noon- you can probably find me here. read more

This is by far the tastiest Thai and Japanese restaurant in Miami. After you have tried there pad thais and sushi, you will not look anywhere else. The complimentary soup are always delicious. Mr. Bond is friendly and courteous. I've been coming here for years and will not give it up for anything else. read more

Bonding - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

What a find...so glad I came here! The place gets going late (past 9PM) and can get very loud. Seems to be very popular with groups with a very hip vibe. Love the music and atmosphere. The service is also very good. Accomodating and freindly. And what's not to love about Bond himself. Just to see his hair is worth a trip in and of itself. But the main standout here is the food. It is very high quality and delicious. Sushi, pad thai, curry, etc etc...it is all good. And their special ice cream...what's it called is awesome as well. Already planning a return trip. read more

On point. Bond is usually present and greets you and opens the door for you. The staff is Asian AND knowledgeable. Super friendly. Menu is "modern" and you get a substantial amount of food for your money. Cozy & colorful spot for a date. I had the tuna tataki new style which was fresh and perfectly seared and covered with spicy mayo and caviar to playfully coalesce textures, colors, and taste. Complimentary soup was surprisingly delicious as well. A solid step up - just not sure how long it will be around with Citicentre coming through. read more

I went there with a couple of friends on a Friday night, we got there at 8 and were seated immediately. At around 9 the place started to get packed. We shared a bunch of dishes and everything was so delicious. I specially liked the cuba ocho tuna, the sushi (forgot the name) and the mochi ice cream, which is the bomb. Nothing I've ever tasted before, this ice cream stayed on my mind for a couple of days actually. You have to try it! The service was also spot on. Our server was really nice. When we asked about a dish she was pretty honest and said she didn't like that one (we giggled) and so suggested another one which we loved. The owner Mr.Bond is also very attentive, always making sure we were satisfied. I will be back for sure. read more

We have been here so many times that I cannot believe I forgot to write a review. The food and service is always on point. The place a semi small and modern with house music usually playing later on at night. This is great for any occasion honestly. We have been for just a simple date night and also a crazy night out with friends and have loved it more and more. Friends from philly that came to visit still are talking about their meal from here and asking when they can book another trip back. For birthdays the owner sometimes gives out sake shots which is a lot of fun. The garlic edamame is a excellent starter and I usually get Pad see ew which i love. Enjoy this great little Miami find. They deliver too and even that is perfection. read more

One of the better asian fusion places around town. The food was quite good but a bit overpriced (which is expected for a trendy place). I was here over a year ago and the owner is super friendly and gave us a free round of the yogurt sake drinks. Good ambience though. read more

I have ordered food from Bonding almost everyday for a week now and I've got to say I don't plan on stopping. The tom yum soup I've ordered every time and it gets better and better each time. If you like soup with a little more texture try adding rice noodles or veggies to your order, but either way you can't go wrong.The chicken wraps weren't my thing, I prefer the taste of PF Chang's( I know). But the Drunken noodles, the pineapple fried rice, and the HANGOVER SOUP are all amazing. Order the TOM YUM it's amazing! read more

The place is tiny but cozy. The service was on point, different people came over to make sure we had what we needed and had ordered. The food was tasty; and their happy hour menu is good too! Recommend! :) read more

If you're going to order take out from here think twice!!! They lie about the timing and we never got our food!! Unacceptable !!!

Amazing sushi, great prices, attentive and nice staff, loungey atmosphere....definitely a wonderful addition to Brickell. And absolutely the best sushi in Bricke, aside from Zuma of coursell! Bon is the owner and he made a point to introduce himself and chat for a few minutes. Only recommendation would be to order in stages, we had a big group and just ordered at once so everything came out in a timely manner but all at once so it was a bit much. That was probably our fault for ordering everything at the same time and not spacing it out a bit. The Special K roll was insanely good!! Cant wait to back! read more

My girlfriend and I were looking for good sushi, so we looked in yelp and this place had good reviews so we gave it a try. Getting there is hard due to the construction in Miami Ave. You can park for $10 behind it in the Tobacco Road parking lot which is right there. The place was full on saturday night but there was no need for a reservation. We got there between 8 and 8:30 and didn't have to wait at all. The area doesn't look that great because of the construction all around it, but it still ok. We tried the ceviche as an appetizer and it was really good. A lot better than we expected, actually. From the sushi menu, we ordered the snow rolls (recommended to us as a popular item) and the "Sleepless in Seattle". Both were absolutely delicious. The thai donuts were good also, but hey, have you ever had a bad one of those? Service was also good. Overall, great place. Would definitely recommend it. read more

They do a great job! Food is very good, staff is even better! Very nice vibe. We had a little of everything and every dish was very good. Tai donuts are off the charts read more

Phenomenal, cozy, and tasty Thai restaurant. Seating and parking space is limited but the food is worth it - it's on the pricey side but elaborate creations with large portions. read more

Before you read anything else: Just go! It's a fabulous Thai/Sushi restaurant. The food is amazing. I keep going back because the food is great and the location is relatively convenient for me. I've had the Pad Thai, the Cashew Chicken, and other Thai dishes. We've tasted the Thai Donuts which are gorgeous in their presentation and so delicious. The decor is modern and hip and often you can see who we think is the owner watching over the service (which is hit or miss). I hope this place gets the traffic to make it work. It's affordable, delicious, and has a great atmosphere. Parking on the street is hard, but you can also park in the back, where Tobacco Road has their parking lot. read more

I was in Miami with my parents last week, but this was no vacation. My dad had a recurrence of throat cancer, and so we were at the University of Miami Hospital for his surgery and then a week of recovery. The surgery involved 3 procedures over 12 hours. The rest of the week was spent staying with him during the day while he recovered. Each night my mother and I stumbled, bleary-eyed, back to our hotel and grabbed whatever was convenient for dinner. By Sunday night, we were ready for - no, needed - something else. Something more. We needed a night out for a nice meal and cocktails. She requested sushi. I found Bonding right here on Yelp, and off we went. First, the interior is lovely. We walked in and immediately a lot of the stress was washed away. Your staff is very welcoming, and the decor chic and hip, but also warm and inviting. The flowers. Good God, the flowers. Beautiful. We shared the Brickellpolitan roll and instantly fell in love. For dinner, Mom had the Orange Duck and I had the Osaka Lamb Steak. Everything was perfect. It was just what we needed after the week we had had. Needless to say, we will be back. And we're telling everyone we know who lives in or visits Miami regularly to go. Bonding is now a part of the story that we tell about this week. Because you didn't just feed us, you nourished us. You helped us heal. read more

The staff is amazing and so is the food!! I had the most wonderful experience! My pad Thai was great, and the entire staff made sure my experience was perfect. Definitely try this spot!! read more

Tasty enough food but inauthentic flavors. Surprisingly stingy pours of wine. The only part about the experience that could be described as bonding was when our waiter's fingers made repeated close contact with the served dishes and sides of rice. Unacceptable. I will not be back. Too many strikes for a single visit. read more

I came here because of the reviews mainly... I loved the ambiance of this place -- the music, the lighting, the fact that it was crowded but not a long wait time. I also really liked the appetizers, drinks, and the presentation. However the sushi isn't great... The flavor combination is just odd: I guess it's a hit or miss and for me it wasn't great. One more thing, the service: the moment we were done w our meal someone picked up the plates and then someone else came and cleaned the 2 tables we were using -- this was completely necessary and I felt like it invaded my space; the table wasn't that dirty to begin with and we had to lift all of our drinks and the center piece (I thought that was a bit too much). Then, after handing our cards, the server took a long time (~15 mins) to bring them back which was odd as well. I wasn't impressed by this place, I rather go to a whole in the wall where the food tastes amazing and the service is impeachable but if you like the fancy look, go ahead and try this place! read more

I got the yelp app just so I could do this review. Not being familiar with Miami, we got lost on our way to another restaurant and stumbled upon this place instead. And such a find it is! What they lack in size, they definitely make up in the quality of food, service and ambiance. Not an extensive menu, but well thought out- simple but precise. Wings were nicely seasoned without being overpowering. The Mexican roll(don't think salsa at all) is a MUST-TRY item! We ordered the Flaming Fish out of curiosity, and it did not disappoint, plus it was HUGE! I can almost imagine making an excuse to come back to Miami just to try their other surprises. read more

Delivery saved me! Nothing is opened in this area, everything closes at 10pm.... on a Friday!!! Oh how I miss NYC. Thanks to yelp I found this place close to my hotel, listed a food menu and ordered. Ordered the pineapple rice, dumplings and eddamame and it was perfect. Hit the spot- I like it. Saved by yelp!! read more

Bonding - Thanks delivery!!! Pineapple rice and eddamame - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

The menu is small, so if you're picky, check in advance -- this is not the large Pan-Asian menu we are accustomed to seeing in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Red curry with chicken is often (but not always) excellent. Flavors are very good, portion is large, and "spicy" really does mean spicy. The red curry has a great amount of vegetables, which are well well cooked. The chicken was well cooked when we ordered today. However, on a some previous occasions, we've found the texture of the chicken "off" and a bit rubbery. I've previously ordered the pad thai (quite a few times), which tastes best spicy. All the same, it is at best ordinary. Today, I departed from my typical order and instead had the thai basil chicken, spicy. This was substantially better than the pad thai, which had been my previous go-to order. A good amount of vegetables, and here, too, "spicy" really does mean spicy. My wife reports that the sticky rice with mango is very similar to the sticky rice with mango she would eat when abroad in Thailand (albeit, Bonding's was more bland). Ultimately, Bonding is good choice held back by being just a bit too expensive for what it is. Note - delivery fee is a $3. read more

This place is just great overall. The ambiance is fun, classy and hip. We were immediately greeted by the owner, a funky and fun young man who seemed very interested in making our experience a great one. We started off with Passion Fruit sake, it was delicious and addicting, we ended up with a small bottle and ended up wanting a lot more, so we got a large bottle. For apps, we had the garlic edamame, which was flavored generously and perfectly. We also shared a tuna tataki, which is one of my favortie plates in Asian cuisine. I probably could've ordered two more of these and just had it as my main meal. The tuna was fresh and the seaweed salad was refreshing. I had the Dancing Spider Roll, which has slices of tuna on top. I ordered it specifically because the tune tataki was so fresh, I just wanted more and more. I had a taste of my friend's Massaman Curry, delicious!! I almost wish I had ordered that one... I'm not even a huge fan of curry but it was very tasty and light. For dessert, we had the thai donuts and Ice cream tempura. I've had better donuts but they weren't bad and wasn't a huge fan of the ice cream either. Next time I'll try the sticky rice with mango. Overall, great, fun ambiance and fresh asian food. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

The decor is cute. The owner is always there and a character. The food is on point. What's not to love. It is pricey but that's what happens when you live in Miami and especially in one of the more pricey spots of Miami. My favorite dishes have to be the lobster roll and the seafood salad... The lobster roll is fried goodness covered and spicy mayo all in one role. If I could I would eat this every day and be a happy camper. The seafood salad is also amazing... Don't think it is healthy though. It is an arrangement of fried seafood on a bed of spinach, if I remember correctly. Yeah, it is definitely not healthy but so worth it. There pineapple fried rice is also delicious and worth trying come here with a group of people, the rolls are big enough to share and it is a very fun environment. I tend to come here for girls night out, we always have a great time. There is hardly any street parking in this area but they do have a parking lot located in the back. To make things easier though I would just walk here if you live in the area or take an Uber. read more

The food and service here was very good, the place is pretty small so you're lucky to get a table without a wait but there are also seats available at the bar. Their veggie spring rolls and the doughnut (the waitress called it their "happy ending" which was definitely accurate) are both a MUST! read more

Great place to have dinner and even better lunch! I can't say about the sushi section, but the Thai cuisine is the best! Little bit more expensive than Lung Yani Tapas, but as good as the 8th street restaurant read more
