Five Top Thai Restaurants in Miami

There’s something so warm and comforting about a big plate of Thai food, maybe it’s the spices or just how filling it always seems to be. Miami might not be known specifically for its Thai restaurants, but there are tons of great options to be found all over the city. If you’re craving Thai this weekend, we’ve got a list for you!

Lung Yai Tapas

If you can handle the strict rules of Chef Bas, then Lung Yai should be a number one Thai restaurant on your list. It’s not often that there’s no a line of people waiting outside, but it’s always worth it. Check out the menu before you get there and order quickly, you only get one chance to order. It’s part of the rules.
