14 Best Broward County Restaurants That Make Us Want To Move - Miami - The Infatuation

"And now we submit even more evidence that Broward’s Thai scene simply isn’t fair. When you get to this restaurant on Hollywood’s busiest street, flip over the menu and find the section that says “tum tum bar.” Those 15 dishes—all pounded with a mortar and pestle until they release their innermost secrets—are the reason why Bok Bok Baby is an essential South Florida Thai spot. The other side of the menu is a very good mix of curries, stir-fried proteins, and Isan street food. Things can get incredibly spicy here, so be willing to ask your server for guidance if your tolerance for bird's eye chilis is nonexistent." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino

Bok Bok Baby’s fiery tum tum bar is worth traveling for - Review - Miami - The Infatuation

"When you get to this Hollywood Thai restaurant, flip over the menu and find the section that says “tum tum bar.” Those 15 dishes are all prepared with a mortar and pestle (the English translation for “tum” is roughly “to pound”) and account for the faint banging sound you hear coming from the kitchen. It’s those tum tum dishes that make Bok Bok Baby a South Florida destination for Thai food. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Pause Unmute They range from your typical papaya salad to dishes we’ve never encountered on a local menu before—like a pile of a sweet corn with pulverized salted egg yolk, fermented fish sauce, limes, peanuts, and more things that’ve been pounded into releasing their innermost secrets. The other side of the menu isn’t an afterthought though. It’s a mix of curries, stir-fried proteins, and Isan street food. You should know that when they say spicy here, they mean it. Servers are more than happy to bring a thunderstorm of chilis down upon your face. They’re just as happy to guide you towards a painless (but equally delicious) meal if your tolerance for bird's eye chilis is nonexistent. Be honest and willing to ask for guidance. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc The energetic restaurant on Hollywood’s busiest street is aglow with neon and TVs that play cooking videos on a loop. They’ve got a long communal table that could accommodate a spontaneous party of 10. Ask about the specials (including a whole steamed branzino we haven’t been lucky enough to try yet) if you do have friends to help. But remember to listen to that pounding sound, and let it remind you why you’re here. Food Rundown Isan Sausage The casing of these plump, charred sausages is working as hard as a pair of jeans that don’t fit anymore. Inside, it’s salty, sour, and textured. Start here. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Tum Sweet Corn This crown jewel of the tum tum bar looks like a pile of corn, limes, and tomatoes that someone used to release stress. The fermented fish sauce brings funk. The corn cuts through with pops of sweetness. And the salted egg yolk adds a lusciousness to the whole thing. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Spicy Oyster Salad This tum tum bar dish is a big pile of raw oysters covered with herbs and crispy onions. Those oysters are there to absorb the sauce, which has a fireworks display of spice, acid, sugar, and a spice kick like a cattle prod. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Krapao Pla Muk Here’s a great dish that won’t make your lips cry. The stir-fried squid is tender, speckled with holy basil, and comes with an ultra-crispy fried egg balanced atop a mound of rice. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Southern Thai Curry These spare ribs are swimming in coconut milk-slicked curry, which has a spice level we’d describe as: being bitten by an angry cat. The ribs are a bit chewy and could be more tender. Skip this in favor of other proteins. PlayMute video credit: Ryan Pfeffer Mango Sticky Rice The best thing about this mango sticky rice is the temperature. Both the rice and the mango are hot, which helps the mango taste perfectly ripe even if it’s not mango season. PlayMute video credit: Ryan Pfeffer" - Ryan Pfeffer

BEST THAI FOOD IN SOUTH FLORIDA!!! And most authentic! My husband is Thai and we are so picky when it comes to eating out at Thai restaurants, but we literally would eat every single meal here if we could!! We have gone through most of the menu at this point and everything Nani cooks is a 100/10. The service is amazing, all the staff is so kind and engaging and eating here is just an amazing experience. If you want a real taste of Thailand you need to eat here!!!

Was looking for a Thai place outside of the city (wanted to go for a long drive) and found this place randomly - read up some nice reviews and decided to go for it. Papaya Salad Super fresh with the right amount of crunch and spice—loved that part. The only thing that threw me off was the number of lime wedges inside the salad. I bit into a few of them and… not great. Would’ve much preferred them on top as a garnish instead of mixed in. Fried Pork Belly Delicious. Big portion of bite-sized pieces with crispy edges, topped with crunchy onions and scallions. All of it sat on a bed of lettuce, which I guess made it feel slightly healthier? Pad Kee Mow (Chicken) By the time this arrived, I was already full from the first two dishes, so I could only manage a few bites—but wow, when they say “Thai spicy,” they mean it. The heat level was on point, and the gravy-to-noodle-to-veggie-chicken ratio was honestly perfect. Can’t wait to go back just to finish a full plate of this. Will definitely visit again.

I recently visited Bok Bok Baby and was absolutely blown away! It's rare to find truly authentic Thai food, and this place absolutely nails it. The Pad Kra Pao and Som Tum were out of this world—packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat. Highly recommend!

So, I spent 6 days in Miami and this Thai place turned out to be the best part of the trip! The food was insanely fresh and tasty, just like what I've had in Thailand. Prices were fair, and the whole vibe was super Thai and chill. The service was also amazing! Honestly, no complaints at all. I just wish I lived closer so I could eat there all the time!

The best Thai street foods in Florida. As a Thai people, I’m highly recommend!!!!! 100000000/10 All dishes are authentic Thai taste, and you will never disappointed. They’re also have the real Thai Basil which is not that easy to find. Highlight: Papaya salad with streamed whole fish must try.

Great little place for creative Thai food with large portions. Ordered a dish medium spicy and it was perfect, nice heat, great flavors. Crab fried rice ordered mild, came just that way, flavor of crab just the way it should be. Water spinach with garlic was pure and simple, so so good. Service is excellent and attentive, 2 lovely Thai ladies, one from Korat, the other from Surin (prayers) that are very happy to see and take care of your dining needs. Stainless steel tabletops and TV's showing Asian food being prepared make you just want to dig in and try the tasty dishes. They will be opening for lunch around September which will give me even more opportunities to return here. Excellent addition to downtown.

We had an amazing meal !!!We ordered the Chicken Pad Thai, which had the perfect balance of flavors, and we loved that we could choose our own spice level. The crispy chicken wings were absolutely perfect super crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The kids hit was the Pad Woon Sen, which my kids devoured! The service was friendly, and everything came out fresh and flavorful we ordered to go We'll definitely be coming back for more

We went here when it was originally a Korean restaurant but now it’s re-opened as a Thai place and I am so glad we decided to give it another try. We absolutely love Thai food and finding an authentic spot right in Hollywood is a dream come true. One of the owners is actually from Thailand and you can tell from how delicious the food was. We started with the Papaya Salad (Som Tum), which is one of my favorite things to order and it did not disappoint. So fresh, well-seasoned, and the medium spice level was spicy but I thankfully still have my tastebuds intact. The crab fried rice was generously portioned and made even yummier with the side sauce and spice caddy they have available. The star for me was the chicken Pad See Ew, definitely going to be a regular order for me! The mango sticky rice with ice cream is like something straight out of a food challenge with its size and it was a great way to end the meal. Drinks are reasonably priced, some great Thai beers and the two Thai iced teas they have are great. Got to try a variation with lemonade instead of milk and it might be my new go to, which is insane because I love the traditional Thai iced tea. Staff is all so friendly and welcoming. Came a little later on a Saturday and it was easy to get a seat (for now!). Parking can be a challenge but we found a garage a few blocks down that was easier and cheaper than all the street parking. 100% will be back and love this new addition to the Hollywood area. Thanks for a great meal!

Thai street food restaurant located in downtown hollywood. May be a struggle to find parking and may be a walk unless you get lucky. Beautiful interior with greenery ceilings surrounded by art and videos of authentic Thai food. We got seated right away! Service was great and our server was attentive. Food was delicious. The raw shrimp (Goong Cha Nam Pa) was really spicy but delicious ! The papaya salad has a great flavor I recommend a medium spice level not too spicy but a kick to it. The Tum sweet corn caught me by surprise quite tasty. Pad Thai was hit on the tangy side. Tum yum soup was bit on the salty side for my liking but overall everything was good.

This was my first time coming. I came Sunday night. Got some beers, started off with spring rolls and the chicken skewers. The chicken was so tasty!! And the sauce was yum!! Spring rolls were delicate yet so satisfying to eat. Only thing though I would've liked is when the guy server approached to ask if we were ready and I told him I'm in between choices and he just said he'll just be back lol, but I figured it out. Just some help would've been nice and I love hearing staff opinion. I ended up getting " Pad Kana Moo Krob. It was absolutely amazing wow perfect I wanted to save to go but I almost cleaned my whole plate! One of the other servers though that was bringing us the food n offered us another beer and gave us a good tip to get a side of sticky rice with the skewers. That was great attention! She was lovely. We were confused on who was our actual server. Overall we had a very great time, the ambiance was chill and I loved the decor and lights! Very beautiful. I can't wait to return again and try something new next ;) :D

Bok Bok Baby Buriram (BBBB) is Chef Onanong Insamran Copelenko's restaurant on the main drag of Hollywood Blvd (2051A Hollywood Blvd.) You know her from her food stall at Yellow Green Market. It was previously a Korean restaurant named "Bok Bok Baby". Chef On decided to keep the sign, but that is all that is left of the original concept. In my estimation, it is -the- most hardcore Thai restaurant in South Florida right now, and very few typical or boilerplate items are on the menu--it is not for beginners or for someone who has never been exposed to Thai food before. Saying that this Thai restaurant is the most hardcore and authentic is a strong statement even for myself, especially since we have some very good places now, like Larb Thai Isan and Kan's Thai Kitchen in Fort Lauderdale and Just Thai in Deerfield Beach. But it is really that serious a Thai place. The menu consists of street food dishes from her home city of Buriram, which is in Isan (northeast Thailand). The food is by default VERY spicy, so don't order anything above medium unless you have a death wish. We ordered a whole bunch of stuff. The "Tum Tum" salad section on the second page has a lot of raw seafood, so if you have hangups on eating raw crab, shrimp, clams, and oysters, I would go for one of the regular ones. But if you like ceviche-type dishes, by all means. We got a spicy oyster salad in her homemade pickled fish sauce with a lot of crispy fried onion. It is outstanding, but you need to be a raw oyster fan. Oh, and if you don't like fish sauce (!!!!) and funky flavors, this place is not for you. Thai Isan sausage is the real deal, although the fermentation in On's is less than Larb Thai. This is not a bad thing because the sour flavor can be overpowering if you aren't used to it. But it's a great appetizer to start off with and to munch with the raw vegetables, herbs, and pieces of raw thai bird chile. Get some beers because you're gonna need it. Pad Kaprow (holy basil sauce) stir fry is excellent; it is easily one of the best I've had locally. Moo Ping/grilled pork is super juicy and flavorful and comes with an excellent "jeaw" dipping sauce. Morning Glory (water spinach) sauteed in an oyster sauce with thai bird chiles is an excellent vegetable dish, but it will bite you unless you order it without the chiles. The crispy pork (pork belly) and crab noodles are a twist on ba mee moo deng, and it's terrific, but ask for extra dressing/sauce as it is a dry noodle. Honestly, I would have loved to have ordered more stuff, but it was just the two of us. If you can bring some friends it would be ideal. They even have a large community table for an extra large party, or those who don't mind sharing a table.

We had the food delivered, it was super quick! Everything we ordered taste sooo good, with the exception of their pad kee mow. It was a little sour and too saucy. I've had plenty of this dish over my lifetime and it's usually on the sweeter and dry side. Surprise that it was the opposite. We made sure to order a bit of everything, sweet (ended up sour), sour, salty and savory. Nevertheless 5 stars since the other dishes were delicious!

We came in on a Friday night for dinner. We found street parking down one block down which is rare. You pay through one of the mobile parking apps. We were greeted right away after we walked in. We started with the chili garlic pork belly and that was better than I expected. It had so much flavor and the pork was crispy but not dry. My 8 year old had the beef jerky and said it was pretty good. Though, it was a bit chewy for him bc he has no front teeth but he still enjoyed it. I had the tum pha. even though it said salted crab on the menu, I didn't expect it to be so salty that I couldn't eat it. The rest of the dish was good until I got to the bottom. With all the fish sauce and crab, it became way too salty. I would love to go back to try all the other dishes.

A street-food style Thai place in Hollywood that caught our eye. We went in on a Friday night and were seated immediately. The interior is fun and clean and they had cool videos of Chinese and Thai street food vendors playing which was great to watch while waiting for food. We ordered the pad Thai and pad see ew spicy (our go to orders when trying new Thai spots to compare). The food took a while to come out, but when it did it was piping hot. The flavors were strong and the spice was perfect (as we've found it difficult finding Thai places here that can bring the heat). The food definitely reminded me of the food I had while visiting Thailand. My only gripe is that the portions are small compared to the price and there was a bit of a wait, but I would come back to try other things on the menu.

Deliciousness is the only way to describe the food here. The pad thai is so flavorful unlike traditional pad that.

Visited in a Friday evening and it was not very busy. The service was super quick and friendly. The inside is decorated really fun and pretty with the hanging flowers. The southern Thai curry is very spicy as stated but super flavorful and delicious. Would not order if you are not spice tolerant. The water spinach was also very yummy and is a treat as it is not on many menus. Would return to try other dishes.

By far one of the best Thai restaurants in Florida. What is truly interesting is how Thai street food is gaining popularity. Authentic flavors, palate challenging dishes paired with true Thai hospitality. I love the authenticity of the food here. Felt like I was in BKK. Highly recommended

I can't tell you how refreshing it was to leave a restaurant with enjoying every single dish. Chef Nany is absolutely killing it. I can't wait to go back. Nina was our server and she was a delight too! Papaya salad is always my hands down fav.

Really great food! Same owner as the thai stand in Yellow Green market. My wife always orders like 3 plates of papaya salad lol, their fried pork is fantastic. Wish I wasnt allergic to seafood as it looks great here.

You can tell a place is good when the owner/chef is in on the floor not only working on the orders but greeting the tables, and making sure everyone is satisfied. Skip every other place in downtown Hollywood, I've tried most of them, a lot of great ones. This is the best. The main item Pad Thai is the best I've ever had. Or literally any dish with crispy pork and you will be happy. If you're in town or have to drive, it's worth every dollar and it's significantly less expensive than the places surrounding them. Get there now before word gets out and you can't find a seat in this place without a reservation a month out.

I was in town for a work trip and was looking for an authentic Thai restaurant for dinner. This is easily one the most authentic Thai restaurants I've come across. Possibly the BEST Thai Food I've ever had and I've been to a ton! When you walk in you're immediately warmly greeted and seated. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious. We ordered the isan sausage; papaya salad; chicken larb; chicken pad ka prao; and the mango sticky rice with ice cream for dessert.

I can definitely say this place left me speechless! I haven't had authentic Thai street food like this since my trip to Thailand! Initially I was skeptical due to some comments the owner at the restaurant down the street mentioned saying that the food wasn't good and too expensive. Take me for an example Check it out yourself!! Me and my partner are obsessed! The ambiance is such chill laid back but I don't expect it to be like this anymore once the word gets out super yummy & for the portions the price is super fair!

Meh, the water spinach dish was on point and delicious. Everything else was just alright. I think they may still be new and haven't figured everything all out yet. The portions were very small for the price. Almost wasn't worth it. More like half portions and certainly not like the review pictures posted. The pictures currently posted look like photographer pictures of full round plates but everything i was served except the curry soup was served in smaller oval plates. Much smaller in real life. Especially compared to other places i love like larb Thai isan where their portions are great and their prices are great. There's no cost vs value here. Not worth it. The papaya salad was very small the curry noodles was large and good. I wouldn't go back just for that though. I also had the grilled squid it was cold and very chewy. I tried to send it back and they wouldn't take it back so wasted $17 there. I also had the raw shrimp dish, was nothing special just raw shrimp with some sauce drizzled but didn't add a lot of flavor. Ordered the mango sticky rice for dessert. I didn't think you could really mess that up but it was TINY it was so ridiculous you got HALF the mango and maybe two table spoons of rice the coconut milk for drizzle was watered down and you go vanilla ice cream on top. I don't even think it was real sticky rice it tasted like just mushy caked up rice. I couldn't even eat it. Not worth it. Maybe give it a few months until they work those things out but maybe they won't. I won't be going back. I only have 2 stars bc the water spinach and papaya salad flavors were very good although very small. Going back to larb Thai my all time favorite.
