    We had heard about how amazing this place was and were scared of the high expectations set.... but we were not disappointed.
    We had the following:
    Crispy mushrooms, chicken wings, steamed pork dumplings, tom kha, duck noodle soup & a beer all for under $50.
    We went on a Sunday night so the wait time was not long at all.
    Everything was great but what forced me to write my first yelp review was the tom kha!!!!
    Amazing!!!!
    What amazing flavor combinations our palate experienced. We are in awe!!!
    We are definitely coming back and having two bowls each and expanding our experience by trying more of what this place has to offer.
    Highly recommend.

    The service at this place is one of the worse I ever had!
    They rush you for you to order your food, you can only place one order throughout your entire visit.
    It took extremely long time to receive my order, it didn't even taste that good after all the wait and they were rude when I asked for how much longer I had to wait for my food. They never apologize for the delayed or for the guests that got there after and they got their  food before me!!
    They don't even have soy sauce !!
    Muy malo este  lugar para comer. Se demoran mucho para service la comida, la comida no es tan buena el servicio no es nada amigable y es caro para la calidad de comida
    No es bueno

    After living in NYC for 3 years and having an abundance of Thai options, it's nice to find one in Miami that is truly authentic!

    The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because of the rude host who doesn't really know how to seat people properly.

    But the food is great! Can't go wrong with any dish, honestly will still be coming back routinely.

    I was not expecting to have excellent, authentic Thai food in Little Havana, but here I am, writing this review. There were four tables ahead of us on a Sunday night but it still only took about 15 minutes to get seated. We were told you only get to order once, so make it count.

    The chicken Tom Ka soup was, no joke, the best soup I have ever had. Creamy coconut milk met tangy lime juice at the pinnacle of flavor. I was floored. The veggie Phad Woon Sen was likewise stellar (although maybe not quite as game-changing). It was amazing how much savoriness they were able to imbue the thin glass noodles with. The fried oyster mushrooms were a worthwhile snack, not over-battered, served with sweet chili sauce. The Phad Thai was tamarind based. None of this tomato paste nonsense that has become commonplace. If I wanted ketchup-noodles I would have stayed at home. Luckily, here they delivered authentic tart noodles with a little more chewy texture than I've had elsewhere. Lastly, we had the onion and scallion omelette, which I may have skipped if only to allow more room to devour the noodles, which remained unfinished at the end of the meal.

    Plates are smaller than a normal entree elsewhere. Five plates yielded about 20% leftovers once all was said and done.  The price for all of this was just about $40, a steal for the quantity and quality. The service was quick and no-nonsense without being brusque. I would absolutely eat here again, hopefully with a big group of friends to try as many dishes as possible.

    Who would have thought that you'd have to go to Little Havana in Miami to get EPIC Thai food!? This place man, this place was stupid good. Best Thai food I've never had. This is your patented hole in the wall with amazing food. The place is tiny so they have you put your names on the list and wait outside of the restaurant. Once they have a table/seat at the bar for your party, they seat you. We got to sit at the bar right in front of where they cook the food so we got to get the real experience of seeing them whipping up the food.

    We ordered the fried chicken wings as a starter. These wings were fried to perfection. My fiance ordered the Khao soi gai with beef which was amazing. Probably some of the best soup ice very had. The flavor combination was delicious. I ordered the moo.paloo which was a pork belly and rib soup. The broth for this soup was unlike I've ever had. It looked like your typical beef broth but the amount of flavor in this broth was shocking. Not to mention, the pork belly and rib meat in the soup had just asuch flavor and was cooked perfectly as well.

    All and all, we will be looking to see if we can find a Thai restaurant with moo paloo and Khao soi gai that can touch what we got from this place. We will see if one exists in Philly because I can't just simply wait to get this type of food again until the next time I'm in Miami..
