Reviews
Also, their to go containers need to be sturdier and have better seals as a lot of their food has sauces and the clamshell boxes don’t cut it as the sauce spills everywhere.
The staff is friendly. Service is good on a slow day, but on a busy night, it’s nonexistent. Be prepared. We don’t mind that as much as long as our food is out. We can do the rest ourselves.
The decor is simple and clean.
Food Preparation Issues
The high quality of the curry flavor was hampered by execution errors with the add-in ingredients:
Lemongrass: Large, coarse chunks were left in the curry. Because lemongrass is extremely fibrous, these pieces were unchewable and had to be awkwardly picked out or spat out, indicating it was prepared for infusion but served for consumption.
Pineapple: The large chunks of pineapple retained significant heat from the sauce, causing bursts of scalding juice when bitten into. Cutting them smaller would solve this minor hazard.
Mango Sticky Rice: This was the most disappointing dish. The mango was firm and under-ripe, lacking the necessary fragrance and sweetness. This is a significant quality control failure, especially given Miami’s excellent access to ripe mangoes in the late season.
Service Execution Issues
The service was friendly but clearly inexperienced, demonstrating a lack of essential training and attention to detail throughout the meal:
Missed Cues: We had to ask for water initially, and refills were inconsistent. The server struggled with basic dining cues, such as asking to box a plate while it was still being eaten.
Pacing and Cutlery: The server did not offer the dessert menu or provide appropriate tools (only a spoon was provided for the firmer mango).
Final Details: Even the complimentary Lindor chocolate arrived partially melted, serving as a final, minor example of the lack of care in presentation.
In summary: This restaurant has a strong foundation and excellent culinary potential. Investing in staff training on service pacing and essential ingredient quality control would elevate this business from average to truly exceptional.
Next we had the Kow Piek Sen, basically a chicken soup with delicious fresh noodles. It was seved with a type of fried bread and various chili-based toppings which added to this soup. The bread was particularly delicious – hot and crunchy. We also shared the Kow Poon which is more of a curry type dish which was also delicious. For dessert with tried the Sticky Rice with mangoes which was surprisingly delicious as well.
In conclusion this is a great restaurant and a wonderful addition to the Miami food scene.
