About

About Lung Yai Thai Tapas

Lung Yai Thai Tapas opened in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood, bringing the vibrant flavors of Bangkok's street food scene to South Florida. Founded by a Bangkok-born chef, the restaurant takes its name from a Thai phrase meaning "to visit" or "to come together," reflecting its communal tapas-style approach to dining where dishes are meant to be ordered and shared around the table.

The restaurant earned Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition — awarded to restaurants offering exceptional food at a moderate price — in 2022, 2023, and 2025, cementing its reputation as one of Miami's best Thai destinations. It was also named Best Thai Restaurant by Miami New Times in 2022. The menu balances the four pillars of Thai flavor — salty, sweet, sour, and spicy — across appetizers, salads, soups, curries, and noodle dishes prepared with authentic Thai ingredients and technique.

Lung Yai also operates sister restaurants Daek Thai Eatery in Miami's Midtown neighborhood and Ahi Sushi nearby. The flagship location at 1731 SW 8th Street serves lunch Tuesday through Sunday (12PM–3PM) and dinner Tuesday through Saturday (5PM–10PM), with Sunday dinner service only. The restaurant does not take reservations for all party sizes — call ahead or check the website for current policies.
