The service was great and the food was delicious. That greenery, decor and music were all very vibes and cool. As someone who rarely eats fried things – don’t skip the lightly fried spring rolls! The gao dim sum was very yummy and the Shrimp Pad Thai. Save room for the banana rolls for dessert
And the melon mocktail was really refreshing!

My second time here , came back for the chicken curry , didn’t disappoint.We also order sizzling beef with peanut sauce , I had great expectations for this one , sauce was delicious but they used a cheap cut of meat . Some pieces were tough , this sauce deserved a better cut of meat , this is a nice restaurant , with high prices , please don’t use cheap meats!!
Goldfish and mushroom truffle dumpling were good starters
Desserts are not the forte here so we didn’t order dessert this time .
Service was good , I wish our waiter was not wearing cologne though

We had a great experience! The dishes were filled with rich flavors, yet everything was quite balanced together to give our tastebuds that smooth excitement. The service was fantastic! Everyone made sure we had a great experience, so a big thank you to the whole team! Oh, and the terrace outside is just so charming. You won’t regret sitting outside.

Amazing. Our server, a young girl from Thailand she was very funny and knowledgeable about the menu. Music was great, the restaurant is beautiful as well as clean bathrooms. The whole place was a vibe and all the food was delicious

Beautiful restaurant, with an outdoor oasis and a refined interior. We sat outside on a gorgeous stunning Tuesday winter night in miami, atmosphere on point, very friendly staff – we even put in a special request and was met with a friendly smile-
The dim sum is exceptional, handmade with exquisite ingredient with delish flavor profiles but, I’m going to say not worth the price point because serving is meager
Tamarind soup was very good, unique soup flavor, exceptional (but only had 2 pieces of shrimp when considering the price of this dish ♂️ again)
Then came the main dishes, we ordered skip light chicken dish, pad Thai (small pile on the side if a big plate) , crispy ginger chicken and Thai beef salad. Sadly, they all were nothing to write about, they were all ordinary Thai dish you’d expect to eat from any takeout spot. To clarify, they tasted good but surely not what I expected from a caliber of this restaurant and steep price point…. Not to mention very stingy portions.
I would have rated GAO with 3 stars because the steep price point when considering portions served, but the atmosphere and the very happy smiley friendly staff and the stunning atmosphere, I decided to leave a 4
Most probably won’t come eat here again, but I’d come for cocktails on a date night out on their terrace then move on elsewhere for food nearby.

An amazing new restaurant that’s quickly become my favorite! But let’s be honest, it’s the only Asian restaurant on south beach. Despite just opening, I’ve already visited three times. The staff is incredibly welcoming, the food is outstanding, and the ambiance is simply perfect. A well-deserved 5 stars to the team behind this incredible launch!
Forgot to mention the most beatifull terrace in SoBe, waiting for good weather to take dinner on it.
