Miami Restaurants

  1. Hy Vong Vietnamese Restaurant

    In a neighborhood full of communist regime exiles, it makes sense to find a Vietnamese restaurant. Despite all the great Latin food around, Little Havanans still wait hours for a seat here. Why? Because great Vietnamese food - which this absolutely is (with little touches of Florida, like mango marinade) - combines quality produce with Southeast Asian spice and a colonially inherited French penchant for rich flavors. Just be prepared to wait an hour or more for your culinary reward.

  2. Miss Saigon Bistro

    This clean, spare and delicious Vietnamese spot is a good middle-of-the road option for folks seeking a good meal - the caramelized pork and crispy fish spring to mind - without the pomp and circumstance of a huge night out.

  3. Sushi Saigon

    The stark simplicity of Japanese cuisine and the colorful (and delicious) energy of Vietnamese are an odd marriage, but this menu basically splits rather than combines the flavors, which is probably a good idea. Black and white photos from the two parent cuisine countries cram the walls and create a nice, Old-Asia atmosphere.

  4. Tamarind

    No surprises here (unless you've never eaten Thai food); there's the standard palette of Thai curry (red, green, yellow) and pad-everything. And it's excellent: food, service and setting. Sometimes, as the cooks at Tamarind happily know, you stick with the classics.
