LUNG-YAI THAI TAPAS – Thai
A tight, unfussy room on Calle Ocho where a Bangkok-born chef cooks Thai street food with no interest in toning it down. Red and green curries arrive fragrant and forward; palo moo brings the deep, savoury braise the kitchen is known for. Michelin awarded it a Bib Gourmand in 2022, 2023 and 2025, and Miami New Times named it the city's best Thai in 2022. No reservations, one order per table, first come first served. Come hungry, come early, and let the heat do its work.
