    rice noodles with beef

    I'm just learning about Thai food. It's quite a complex cuisine. We'd heard this was a good place - it was ok. I had the Pad-See-Ew - a dish with chicken, noodles, and vegetables; The sauce was particularly tasty. My husband enjoyed one of the curries with tofu. Our daughter ordered a dish with rice noodles and beef; actually we switched dishes as hers was not satisfying. As they say on the cooking shows, it was not toothsome! Service was very good, but the atmosphere was not comfortable. The large of two rooms was way too cold; I had to order tea for us to get warm. Another party was very loud to the point of intrusive.

    As good as 10 years ago! Glad to see this beautiful restaurant in business after so many years and still the same quality of service, food and consistency overall. It's BYOB - plan ahead! Love it.

    Great Thai food near the beach. Table service in a small dining room. They also have a small sushi bar.

    Steamed Gyozaa(pork dumpling)

    I stopped by this past Sunday , since I was craving Thai and wanted to try a new spot. Tucked away from the 71 St causeway and next to a municipal parking lot, Sawaddee seemed like a cool hidden gem for Thai cuisine. My final analysis: it's a cool neighborhood spot and if you're not in a hurry. I stuck to my usual dishes and have no complaints on the flavor. After getting my server's attention in a relatively empty restaurant, I started off with their steamed pork gyoza. The noodle's texture was just perfectly chewy, the greens fresh and the sauce delish. As it were, I ordered an extra sauce for my fried rice. While tasty, I was told I could get only a vegetable fried rice and not a chicken one. Their volcano chicken was my main dish, with kudos to the chef on the sauce as it was perfectly spicy! It was served on a bed of steamed vegetables and the sauce on the side. The tempura ice cream was yummy as well. Again, the food was pretty good. My only complaint was really on the time between dishes and getting attention.

    Sawaddee is a small Thai restaurant in Normandy Village. Parking is available in the paid lot behind the building (it's free in the evening hours) and a few spots on the street. No alcohol is served. You enter and your nostrils are filled with the tangy aroma of fish sauce & various other savory scents-always a good sign. Like most FL Thai places, they have both Thai and sushi. Pre-Covid Sawaddee had a really good lunch menu at affordable prices. I haven't been here for lunch since the pandemic, so I don't know what it's like now, but will update my review when I do. I recently went for dinner. The entrees on their dinner menu are a bit pricey. However, we found some affordable apps to try as a meal-fried tofu, papaya salad, and Tom kha kai soup. I will be back soon for the papaya salad and soup. Get the papaya salad medium and the soup mild. The salad has a delicious, spicy kick and the soup cools down your taste buds with tasty flavors of coconut milk, fresh veggies, and chicken. I went on a night when the small dining room was almost full and there was an endless string of takeout orders. There was one person taking orders, working the register, taking orders, and running food....and service did not suffer!

The ambience is secluded and warm without losing its chic feeling. The two chefs had a great personality and we had great conversations. The food was absolutely amazing. Each course had a completely distinct flavor profile and played off one another very well. None where so over powering that it made the other seem bland. Extremely well balanced with amazing flavors. For a nice night out. Stay at the beach for the weekend, take an uber to the restaurant, immerse yourself for an hour or so of culinary delight, and let the outside world melt away in the experience.

We normally check the Michelin Guide first but there's none for Miami so we decided to browse through Tock for fun. This was how we stumbled upon Sushi Bar and we are so glad we did! The price point of $185 per seating is super worth it. You get a lot of fish and they are very creative with each nigiri. Their spin on it shows their creative side (with Miami flavors) but is not super over the top and sauce does not drown out the freshness of the fish. Something that stood out to me was how they shaved frozen monkfish liver as a topping. I wanna go back just for that!! They also had some pieces where they smoked the fish. Besides the food, I thought it was very creative how they welcomed guests with a welcome drink at the hotel bar. This was so unique! We finished ours early, and had some of their other drinks - they were all very good! Once they're ready, a server came to get us from the hotel bar and led us through an alleyway to a separate building which was where the actual omakase was taking place. The atmosphere was dark and gave off speakeasy vibes, which I thought was different to other omakase places. Bar is spacious enough to still have private conversations. We did the beverage pairing and we really appreciated the sommelier's knowledge. Overall, we would want to come back again for another tasting experience!!

It was about a 10 minute walk from our AirBNB off Washington Ave and 12th. It was surprisingly empty, except for 2 other customers, so service was quick! Our server and sushi chef were pretty quiet, but that was okay. I loved the mural on the wall. We ordered a few different rolls including their special rolls, and everything was delicious! There was an additional 18% service charge on top of added in 20% automatic gratuity. Overall, happy with this sushi option in South Beach that we found on a whim.

I came in here after a night of looking at art and in search of a quick bite. I almost walked right past it, on the Monday night I went in there was no one in the restaurant. At first I thought it might have been closed. Once inside we were greeted right away and given menus. My friend doesn't really do sushi but she ordered the shrimp tempura roll and devoured it. I had the tuna Cali roll and I have to say it was fresh, simple, and delicious. The restaurant is rather small but gives a cozy feel. We sat at the sushi bar and got to see the chef masterfully prepare our rolls.

I was NOT aware that their version of complimentary meant you are required to pay for it-- otherwise I would have politely declined. Docking 2 stars for that. Other than that small deception souring my overall experience, the fish itself was fresh and tasty, flavors not super unique and leaning more to a traditional flavor. I was informed their fish is all real and fresh, so I even tried the blue crab hand roll, as well as the lobster yuzu, tuna, and yellowtail. The lobster yuzu and crab were both equally a pleasant surprise though Im glad I only ordered one of each. Came around 4pm and was pretty quiet, so great place for a solo date or even a lunch meet. All things considering, I appreciate variety so $5 for a Happy Hour hand roll that has about 3 bites in it is fairly decently priced, though I did need at least 5 hand rolls to feel full.
