Finally found proper Thai food in Miami. Lung Yai's som tam (papaya salad) has legitimate heat and they don't water it down for tourists. Khao soi is rich and complex like northern Thailand.

Away from main Wynwood tourist strip so you get authentic Thai flavors without Instagram crowds. The larb is exceptional — Proper acidic and herbal, not sweet like most American-Thai places.

Tapas-style portions so order 3-4 dishes to share. Plan on spending accordingly. They have decent wine selection which is rare for Thai restaurants.
