We had a wonderful time here! The Thai food is authentic flavors and has great taste! The duck buns were incredible and a great balance between savory and a light sweetness. Loved the 3 flavor fish red snapper as well! The service at this establishment is very high quality and we were treated very wonderfully by the whole staff. Very warm and inviting atmosphere! Really enjoyed and would be a repeat customer. Keep it up 👍
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 it's a nice atmosphere. Nonetheless, I find myself unable to quite justify a full 3.5-star rating.
Forget about the negative reviews, this place was awesome, service was impeccable as well as authentic and delicious! If we lived in the area nearby this restaurant, we would religiously come back. You should definitely visit this place if you are looking for a Thai restaurant to visit.
The place is super cute, especially for those who love instagrammable places. He food is delicious, fast and a great portion so as to not feel it’s overpriced or to have too much leftover. We had the gyozas and the drunken noodles and it was delicious! We were impressed how fast the were able to seat us given the location and crowds, loved the aesthetic and the service was superb with frequent follow ups, catering to our preferences and offering recommendations. Will certainly return when in the are! It’s a must have if you’re interested in flavor, service and a casual but nicer dining experience.

Extraordinary service with delicious food
We would have given this cute restaurant with the friendly staff 5 stars , but we were craving & expecting a sushi menu, which it no longer has.
Buena comida pero muy pequeñas las porciones
Delicious and very fresh food, excellent service and great location. Highly recommend this place. Looking forward to coming again on our next visit!
Food is SO good, service is sweet and kind, prices are good. We are definitely coming back. Thank you!
Nice place and staff. They were honest that most of the items is pre-bought from a store frozen and just heated up at the restaurant, not freshly made, so would not recommend the food for a meal. Good place to sit for a snack or quick appetizer, just know that this is packaged food that is frozen and just heated up.

Great service, atmosphere was very welcoming and helpful. Food was superb.
Delicious food ! And great service.
We tried Chicken Druken noodles and Red Chicken curry - YUMMYYYY !!! ❤️❤️❤️
The passion fruit sake was also flavourful !
Very cute place with amazing and authentic Thai flavors.
This was the best meal I had whilst in Miami. Excellent flavor, portions, and service. I can’t recommend this place enough.
Pad Thai and crispy duck is unmatched, service is timely, and staff is very nice.
Nothing short of amazing
Eff the naysayers. This place is great
Super tasty food, very few vegetarian options, but whatever they have are absolutely yum!
The food is excelent… fresh, flavored, delicious. I will come back on my next visit to Miami!
The food, ambiance, and staff were exceptional. We dined at 9 PM, and the server was highly accommodating, making thoughtful suggestions to suit our needs with two toddlers. The food was delicious, with generous portions, and the warm atmosphere added to the experience. Highly recommended.
I can’t not speak enough wonders about how good this food is!! We ordered the chicken wings and edamame for appetizers and they were both a 10/10. But the star of the show was the pad Thai and the red curry! Holy cow I wish I could have it everyday. We also had the he sweetest host in the whole world Ouma, she’s an angel and so helpful. Don’t even think twice about coming here.
Best Thai food I’ve ever had and great service
Delicious Thai food and service was top notch. We loved our waiter. Highly recommended!!
Truly one of the best Thai restaurants we have ever been to! Mike & Dio were fantastic - excellent hospitality. Will definitely return.
This restaurant is a gem! This is the best Thai food we have had, and we have a high bar! The customer experience was top knotch. They get the golden buzzer! Lol

Very delicious crispy duck salad and entrees (honestly tastes better than Komodo). Excellent service. Prices are incredibly cheap for Brickell. Overall, recommend.
Your best local Thai restaurant in Miami. The food is incredible and the service is hands down the best service you have ever had. The staff is SO attentive and kind, they make you feel like royalty. Support this place!
Hidden Gem in Brickell. I absolutely love this place! One of our favorite date night restaurants. Food is amazing. I recommend the Shrimp Cigars, Bag of Gold, Massaman Curry, Pad Thai, the buns… everything is delicious! Must try the Tom Yum soup with shrimp. It’s an explosion of flavors. Great atmosphere and service. Oum and Miguel Angel always greet us with a smile and go above and beyond. All staff is super friendly, very attentive and provide excellent service. The prices are very fair considering the location. Amazing place to share an authentic Thai meal with friends and family.
Good food. Good price!
one of the best Thai food I have had
Great food

Cute little restaurant with delicious Thai food and very friendly service. We enjoyed everything, from spring rolls and tom yum to bonding fried rice. Happy hour also has some great options. Overall, very pleasant experience, will definitely be back.
Amazing Pad Thai 👌
Best food in town!
Fresh food and delicious! The staff is super friendly and amazing Thai food. Highly recommend this place it is a hidden gem and must try. The food is definitely prepared in real time for you and presentation is great. Cozy ambience vibes too.
Delivered all my food. Called me to make sure I get it
Excellent food . I came with friends as a recommendation from a bartender at koana room. I literally inhaled the Pad See Ew. The apps were also excellent. Extensive list of sake, we got an unfiltered sake that was chilled and delicious! The wine pours are generous. Like … incredibly generous … the Pinot is great ! We shut the place down . They were so nice and we had an awesome experience !
Food was delicious and staff were very hospitable.
Wow, great food, I loved the chili sauce with my meal, definitely go back, worth the trip!
Very good food, and excellent value with their lunch specials.
Bonding is such a great place! Food is always delicious and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I have dined in and have also had take out, both ways the food and service is wonderful! Highly recommend!
This place is just pure class , service and quality food
Curry was amazing.. friendly lady that served us
Uber order:
DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!
Portions are tiny. No utensils or typical condiments that come with Asian food. Greasy and meh. Overpriced fried rice that has one shrimp in the order. The $5 from Trader Joe’s is better.
DO NOT ORDER HERE! Portions are minuscule. Food is meh. No condiments, or utensil option on any delivery app and none arrive. When I called to ask about receiving 1 shrimp in my fried rice the woman said that’s our standard portion. Said call Ubereats, which we all know there is no number. Complete waste of money and time. Save yourself the headache and go elsewhere.
Eat there all the time. Fantastic food. Great people. Quiet atmosphere.
Excellent customer service, especially the staff who are attentive, cordial, and very knowledgeable. The menu has a great selection and the food we got was all fresh. We loved our experience there and would certainly go back!
best service i have ever had. i felt i was at a five star fancy restaurant
Food was great, service was pretty good, ambience is whatever. My only dislike: they don’t tell you 20% service charge is included, and waitress went straight to the tip percentage screen so you can’t review bill. For what was probably around $65 tab ended up being $95 after the sneaky service charge and additional tip.
The best Tam ka soup (with shrimp) I ever had, and the service was also perfect
Discreto, non troppo pulito.
Dimsum molto buoni, pad Thai non buonissimo.
What a great time we had at Bonding. The food was so delicious that I went to the kitchen to speak with the chef. Michael Angel the server was a gentleman. Please try the passion Fruit sake . All 💯 perfect. I really like and recommend this place . And make your reservation because it is always full. See my food pictures .
Tasty food with Great service.
Be careful! They charged a dinner price (40% more) for a lunch order! Plus they added an 20% tip for the lunch! This restaurant is cheating visitors!
Not a lot of gluten free options, maybe a dish or two. Also Pad Thai is not Gluten Free either due to the use of regular soy sauce. Aside from that the food is amazing because I did not go alone and everyone loved the dishes they ordered. They looked amazing and the staff was very friendly. Service was good.
Michael from Bonding is excellent. Very professional and friendly. He needs to be promoted! Just a super experience. He is attentive , we had special requests and allergies and he took care of everything! Just a super casual dining experience!
Fantastic small cozy place with nice lighting and ambiance. Best Tom Yum soup I’ve had in awhile :)
Very Nice experience. Gyozas were fantastic ( the sauce is very good), good wine for reasonable price, and what ca I say about the crispy basil duck => marvelous!
The team is really nice and help me to make my choice. Do not hesitate
Food was great! Michael and Oum were super friendly and made for a great experience!
An incredible experience from start to finish. Great prices, yummy food, cute atmosphere and genuinely kind customer service
A complete surprise!! A small place ,the service was impecable and the food was outstanding. Can't remember the waiter's name sorry. Best duck Ive had in a very very long time. Try eatin at Bonding you won't be disappointed.
The food and atmosphere of this restaurant is outstanding! It’s super cozy inside with nice lights and decorations. The staff is also AMAZING! Michael, Oum, and Levi really made sure we enjoyed our experience. Would recommend coming here! Our favorite dish was the Pad Thai!
OMG this place was nothing short of spectacular! The food was amazing 😍 I don't think I've had better Thai food before. I ordered the volcano chicken, which had a nice mild spice to it that built up over time and my wife got the orange duck which was nice and crispy and cooked to perfection. My only critique was that I wish the volcano chicken was as crispy as the duck, but it was still phenomenal nonetheless. Def coming back next time I'm in Miami!
This place is a local gem. Fantastic good, great service. Must try is the pineapple rice and the pad Thai !
Buff!! Mas que delicioso. Volvere por su puesto. La cerveza tahilandesa muy rica. La super bowl soup 🤤🤤, la mejor que he probado... Muy rico
Everything is absolutely delicious and the attention is great!
Comida deliciosa y excelente atención
Amazing food and service! Fresh tasty food and options. 😍 The vibe was chill
They close at 9:30 not 10:30. Wasted time and money parking. Fix the time
Must recommend for veg options.
Had the Garlic lover lunch plate for $16 and it was delicious! Perfectly seasoned! If anything, I wanted more garlic sauce because I am a true garlic lover lol. Also had the passion fruit sake drink which was so refreshing! And finished off my perfect lunch with an order of the bonding donuts! Truly a phenomenal hole in the wall lunch location! They also have happy hour from 5-7pm
¡Great place!
Gran lugar y gran comida. La atención de Miguel Ángel inmejorable. ¡Claro que volveremos!
Very nice moment thanks to this cute place !
The staff is so kind, welcoming and the food is delicious !
A Brickell staple for outstanding Thai cuisine!
Food was great! We had garlic shrimp and fried rice and the spice level was on the spot (you can make it as spicy 🔥 as much you want)! They will ask about dietary restriction and also have good veg options. Portion was perfect for one. The environment was nice and ambient, and staffs are friendly
This place is the best Thai food in Brickell by far. Food is delicious and traditional. Mike is a great attentive server. This place instantly became my go-to Thai spot
The food was so delicious and the presentation was beautiful on the dishes I would add pictures but we ate it all fast lol. We will be sure to come back when in Miami, Micheal was our server and he was very friendly and attentive. Thai tea was so good too hard to find good Thai tea
Here was the best to good
-tofu pad Thai (so much flavor )
-spring rolls (so crispy and delicious)
-king of the seas soup (really good soup big portion )
-Crab buns (were good but not personal favorites I don’t like crab though )
This Thai restaurant offers delicious and authentic dishes that will transport you straight to Thailand. From the spicy tom yum soup to the rich and flavorful green curry, every dish was expertly crafted and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Thai cuisine.
I ordered the Tom Yum soup, it was too salty and had shrimp in it. There was not supposed to be any seafood according to the menu.
The food here is excellent! High-quality every time I've eaten here.
DINE HERE!!
So I have a pretty strict policy of not writing reviews since experiences can vary from even hour to hour. But the food, service, and attention to detail has convinced me to break my rule and write the review. I am thoroughly pleased by this place.
We ordered items we already knew we liked, but somehow Bonding made them better than we've ever tasted. It felt like our dishes surprised us with explosions of flavor. We left happy and satisfied.
I like the place, and the food. But not too much the people there.
"I had an extremely disappointing experience with this restaurant. Not only did they steal $60 from me after I canceled my order, but their food is also not worth the price. I tried their food once and found it to be subpar, but the fact that they would steal from a customer is completely unacceptable.
I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone, and I urge others to stay far away. Their lack of ethics and disregard for their customer’s needs makes them unworthy of anyone's business. Save yourself the trouble and find a more reputable establishment to dine at."
I do not recommend this restaurant. They stole $60 from me after I canceled my order, and their food is not worth the price. Their unethical behavior and disregard for customers make them unworthy of anyone's business. Please avoid at all costs!
Nice food.
Taste authentic Thai.
And hot sake was a cherry on top.
Food was super delicious,flavorful and fresh. Good portion sizes too!
The staff was also really nice.
The service was ok. The rest was just bad. Thai food didn't taste good at all. The quality and taste were a disaster. Simply not recommended.
Bonding is one of the best Thai restaurants. Definitely recommend it. They pay very high attention to the details.
La mejor comida Thai del mundo. El red curry es exquisito. Lo recomiendo al 100%
La atención maravillosa. Micke es muy amable y educado. El lugar muy acogedor y limpio. Sin duda volveremos!!!
great place for quick bite.
Excellent experience
Great food and people are super nice! The service could not be better. One of the best Massaman Curries in Miami. :)
Great hidden place in the heart of Brickell. They have the best orange duck I have ever tried. The duck buns and pad Thai are also a must have.
best place to get Thai food in the city of Miami
Food is great but the service was amazing. Every staff member was very welcoming and trained very well. From the food, I recommend the BBQ duck buns!!!
Delicious
Good to eat in, pick up, or delivery. Only tough decision is to eat the whole meal or save some for tomorrow.
Prices are high, yes, maybe a little too high. $21 for drunken noodle in a casual environment is odd; however, the food is excellent. Many Thai restaurants struggle so badly with flavorful fried tofu, not this place! Get tofu in your dish, even if you are a meat eater. It’s GOOD. The drunken noodle (I ordered vegan) had a rich charred taste (very hard to do). It was rich, garlicky, and beautiful. Mushrooms are a nice touch, but not a fan of the green beans. Overall, worth it.
Outstanding customer service
I love this little place. Bonding is a small restaurant but has a lot of heart. The interior is pink and adorable, they have a small menu, and the food was really tasty and portions big. They also serve it really quickly! It's run by this really nice woman who I think might be the owner.
This is one of the best Thai places in Miami and the service is always on point. My favorite waitress Om is amazing and always remembers customer preferences. This girl gives the best service experience I hope she never leaves!
Small Thai restaurant near the brickell city center. The food is good. Red curry and drunken noodle was good. The passion fruit sake is good too. Happy hour daily 5pm to 7pm.
My husband and I live right next to it and have never been there before. Which now I think it is a huge mistake on our lives. The restaurant is very well decorated. The service was unexpected how good and sweet the employees were, and the food!!!! OMG the food was delicious. We over ordered and at the end we felt good that we over ordered because we were happy that we could have this delicious food to take home. I just think that everyone should try the Bay of Gold and the Orange Duck. This place has the best food that I have tried before in the neighborhood. And that’s why I thought that I definitely need to leave a review because people needs to know how good they are. I am coming back soon and also suggesting the restaurant for my friends.
Enjoyed everything we got and the service was great. Got chicken lettuce wraps, hangover soup (surprisingly incredible), duck buns, and papaya salad. Recommend them all
Appetizer and entree were delicious and reasonably priced for lunch. 100% Food Thai !!!
Good food , good value, always busy and noisy and tough to find a spot on weekends but don't let that stop you
Really good. Try the OMG spring roll. I didn't know what to expect but OMG, that was good.
Everything was good, except the doughnuts, they were absolutely incredible…. Kind friendly service, cute decor, and parking right behind. This is a true gem of a place
Stopped by for a lunch. Very intimate and small restaurant. Delicious food and the staff was outstanding
For me it's the best Thai restaurant in Miami. Everything is fresh, and delicious. One of my go to is the green curry <3 or lately I tried the curry Massamam and it was amazing. Service is excellent.
They take online orders…take your money…and never fulfill the order. After over an hour I speak to the delivery driver who was supposed to do the delivery, only to indicate the restaurant was closed….. never again with this place.
K place not great for the price u pay
The food all tastes like leftover food. The noodles are stale, the curry is chalky (not how this curry is supposed to taste), the soups have no lemon grass, and the rice is not fresh. They refused to refund me but offered me to dine again. NO THANK YOU
Best thai food ib town. Friendly staff.
I enjoy eating lunch here! Very good Thai for 15$.
Very nice ambiance with pleasant and attentive service. The food was good but I felt like the flavors were muted and the spice level was low. She mentioned it comes as medium [5] by default but I felt it was maybe a 1 0r 2. Thai food is supposed to be bold, I would definitely come back but ask for something closer to a 7 or 8 on the spice level.
OMG, what an increíble meal. I used a delivery service, and those always suck. This was real food, delivered hot and fresh. I’m genuinely impressed. My wife hates the food in the states, and she was also blown away. You can’t go wrong with this restaurant. SIX STARS!!! Awesomeness…just sheer awesomeness. Thanks for the great food.
3/3/22 OVERDUE UPDATE: They no longer sell sushi(I'm removing this image). only Thai food. **Still super delicious and fresh!** My top recommendation is the Passionfruit Sake. My favorite food here is the duck salad. Great place to pre-game and have some delicious grub before a night out in Brickell.
Food was amazing and reasonably priced. We tried a variety of dishes and they were all very good💕 I could eat 20 of those dumplings in 1 sitting 😭 very happy with this new find. Also the service was great and the passionfruit sake they mix in-house is amaaaziiinggg. If you like Thai food, this is a great place to eat!
Good selection
We had the most amazing lunch at Bonding. The soft shell buns omg were so good. Everyone loved their dishes. The restaurant is small, but the decor,
music and and staff are lovely. They do not skimp on the protein in the dishes either!
Sorry, but only way to describe this restaurant is "Amazing!! " Modern Thai food served with awesome presentations and of course, the taste to match! My third time to dine within the year, and certainly not my last. Same ownership as Lung Yai Thai Tapas, the extremely busy sister restaurant in Little Havana, but usually without the long wait for dinner. Expertly timed professional service, knowledgeable wait staff with a pleasant ambience as well as very reasonable prices. Please do NOT forget the Thai Donuts for dessert! This spot is a WINNER!
We ordered the best ever crispy duck in an orange sauce that we have ever had, including in China. All of the food was delicious. We had green curry with chicken and vegetables, garlic edamame, Tom Kha soup and crispy Gyoza.The food also had the perfect amount of kick to it. Don’t forget to order the fried ice cream for dessert! Large enough for 4 people to share! We were early for dinner 6-7 pm. The service was impeccable! We will definitely return with family and friends.
Excellent food and service
