Sawaddee is inauspiciously tucked off Normandy Circle. In the five years since Montri and Riam Putlek opened this petite room, locals have learned the location quite well; the 16 seats are consistently filled, as are numerous take-out orders. Another eight stools run in an L shape against a sushi bar that fairly dominates the space. […]
Sea Siam’s fare is ocean-tastic. Take the pla lad prig: a fresh, whole fried snapper with delicate, crisp skin and moist white meat drenched in a spectacularly tangy, sweet, and spicy chili sauce. Then there’s the fabulous ped nam dang: crisp duck that comes with cashews, sweet peas, black mushrooms, baby corn, pineapple chunks, and […]
Like many restaurants in our subtropical paradise, Sea Siam pads its Thai menu (excuse the pun) with sushi in an effort to broaden its appeal. And it does. Basics such as spicy tuna and the JB roll are clean, fresh, and well executed, and signatures such as the “kissing roll” ($10), a California roll topped […]

More than 2,500 miles of land and sea – plus a cultural gulf that’s just as wide – separate Thailand and Japan, so diners have to wonder why the two nations’ cuisines share menu space at Thai House II. An appetizer of “crispy noodles” – slightly crunchy strands loaded with shrimp and scallions and stuck […]
Adventures in high-ticket parking and sunburned tourists are just a part of a trip to South Beach. Steps from the din of vacationers is an oasis of amazing Thai cuisine. Once you’ve removed your shoes and are comfortably perched at a low table inside Thai House, the aromas of curries and peanutty sauces whisper that […]
The menu at this Indian-Thai restaurant is densely populated with a plethora of items from both namesake countries, but the bulk of selections are from the owner’s native India. House specialties include dosas, a southern Indian pancake rolled with choice of fillings such as onion masala, mushroom cheese, and chicken tikka; and the namesake thali, […]
