305-279-6906 | | | | | Description: SUNSET. Accomplished Thai cookery and authentic decor reel in diners at this neighborhood favorite. Many dishes, particularly curries, pack a potent kick, but less adventurous diners are pleased to find more subtle flavors as well. Popular choices include seafood, vegetable spring rolls, basil chicken and a classic pad Thai. Coconut ice cream caps it all on a delicately sweet note, and prices are decidedly un-Miami.
