Bonding

Overall, I would rate this establishment a commendable 3.5. The service was notably courteous, and the Thai cuisine, for the most part, was quite satisfactory. Their unique position as one of the few Thai dining options in the Brickell/Downtown area certainly works in their favor. I commenced my meal with the papaya salad, which was exemplary. Following that, the green curry proved to be very good as well. However, the Pad Thai was rather insipid, and the meat quality—both chicken and beef—was merely average. For dessert, the fried banana, although interesting, was overly fried. Despite these few flaws, I would consider a return visit. The overall dining experience was average, yet it remains a reasonable choice for Thai cuisine in the area. Plus it's a nice atmosphere. Nonetheless, I find myself unable to quite justify a full 3.5-star rating.

Lovely vibe and the food is 1000/10 so delicious!!! Mike our server was excellent, kind, patient and recommended some great choices from the menu. I recommend trying the orange duck. Will defintely revisit next time I'm in miami.

Fresh food and delicious! The staff is super friendly and amazing Thai food. Highly recommend this place it is a hidden gem and must try. The food is definitely prepared in real time for you and presentation is great. Cozy ambience vibes too.

The food and atmosphere of this restaurant is outstanding! It’s super cozy inside with nice lights and decorations. The staff is also AMAZING! Michael, Oum, and Levi really made sure we enjoyed our experience. Would recommend coming here! Our favorite dish was the Pad Thai!

Cute little restaurant with delicious Thai food and very friendly service. We enjoyed everything, from spring rolls and tom yum to bonding fried rice. Happy hour also has some great options. Overall, very pleasant experience, will definitely be back.

Very good! I recommend the pineapple rice & pad Thai. Pad Thai was smaller than expected but very good. Great for casual meal - nothing fancy, affordable, quality food. Fast service.

I love this little place. Bonding is a small restaurant but has a lot of heart. The interior is pink and adorable, they have a small menu, and the food was really tasty and portions big. They also serve it really quickly! It's run by this really nice woman who I think might be the owner.

Hidden Gem in Brickell. I absolutely love this place! One of our favorite date night restaurants. Food is amazing. I recommend the Shrimp Cigars, Bag of Gold, Massaman Curry, Pad Thai, the buns… everything is delicious! Must try the Tom Yum soup with shrimp. It’s an explosion of flavors. Great atmosphere and service. Oum and Miguel Angel always greet us with a smile and go above and beyond. All staff is super friendly, very attentive and provide excellent service. The prices are very fair considering the location. Amazing place to share an authentic Thai meal with friends and family.

The red curry sooooo goooood. I'll be back for it. And the drunken noodle as well! Great waitress and relaxing music. Thank you!

Decent but not fantastic Thai food. Food: had fried dumplings for appetizers, and they were ok. Green curry was really runny and the chicken had zero flavor. Curry had a decent flavor but no flavor chicken was a bit tough. Combined with the runniness, the curry was just ok. Service: good service Drinks: some drinks and beer offered Note: 20% tip is automatically included in the bill Overall cleanliness: above average Bathroom cleanliness: average

This is a nice Thai restaurant behind Suit Supply behind Bricknell City Center shopping mall. I came here a year ago and this time I brought my husband for dinner. We arrived during happy hour. Food: you scan QR code for the menu. Since we arrived at happy hour, we ordered we got the fried gyoza for appetizers at happy hour prices. They were okay, the skin was a bit thick and the filling was lacking, but they were crunchy. I loved the green curry last time, so I ordered that again. The description said bamboo shoots and green beans. The dish came out temperature hot which I like and generous bowl of jasmine rice. The curry was a generous portion and packed full of bamboo shoots, but green beans were lacking, 3 in total, and overcooked. But I like the green curry flavor. I asked them to make me sweat for spice level and they delivered, I got some sweat around my eyes. My husband ordered the red curry, it also was supposed to have green beans, but he had 1. He was not happy with his dish and did not finish it. The experience will be based on what you order. I recommend green curry and not the red. Service: above average, our waiter has a good sense of humor, he was attentive and made sure we had water in our glasses. Asked if we wanted more beer, and just made sure we had everything we needed. Restaurant cleanliness: average Bathroom cleanliness: average

Pretty good! I really like that their food isn't too oily which can sometimes can be a toss up with Thai food. We got pad Thai, fried rice, and papaya salad. It was all pretty tasty! I haven't eaten there yet know takeout but the staff were nice when I went to pick up the food. :) I think it's a little expensive but it's also Miami so makes sense.

If you are looking for a delicious food and great service in the area - look no further. I loved every single bite of the food that we ordered. Must try their Tom yum!

This place has the nicest server and we love the pad see ew... it's close to everything in Brickell making it easy to walk over for locals. The space is nice and feels like a 'mom and pop' restaurant feel.

Service was amazing. Food was delicious. Such a cute little spot! Tom ka Kai soup was to die for.

Came here on a Friday night for a quick grab to eat, service was great. I really enjoyed the chicken fried rice with pineapple, it was amazing! Def will be back

Drive quickly on South Miami Avenue and you'll miss one of the original Thai places in the Brickell area. Although the wall mural points out the opening as 12/12/12, it feels like a cozy institution, like it's been in the Brickell area forever. Their seating runs the gamut from dog-friendly outside, to both the bar and tables inside. Service was really attentive, and the food tasty. The volcano chicken I enjoyed had a sweet bit of hear to it, and the milk tea was a great dessert.

Hands down the best garlic edamame ! This place has a great location and happy hours. Servers always welcome you with a smile and excited to serve. Gyozas, duck buns, pad thai everything is always done at the moment and delicious. Becoming one of my weekly stops for happy hour. If you are down in Brickell stop and try it!

Awesome service and delicious food. We've been with our 2 kids and it's been a perfect experience. The service was A1, the ambiance causy and the food delicious.

I was really disappointed with the food. We had the steamed gyoza and it was really cold, the noodles my mom ordered came with about 4 noodles the rest was chicken & a lot of vegetables. The rest of us ordered the pineapple fried rice and the regular fried rice all super bland. & they charge you $3 every time you get a soda refill which seems crazy to me. Its a shame the food is not good because its nicely decorated.

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Miami! I specifically love their green and red curry and their sake! The service is outstanding, ambiance is cool and colorful with pink neon backlighting, and the location is in the heart of Brickell. This is the perfect starting point before a night out on the town. Highly recommend!

I visited this restaurant last night with family. At first, the service was great, the servers were attentive and brought our food out fairly quick. I had been looking over the menu prior to ordering; I have a severe peanut allergy and shellfish allergy. I had ordered the Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice without the shrimp. As pictured below, it clearly says the only nuts included are cashews. When my food was brought out to me, I saw nuts on the plate that didn't look like cashews. I will admit, I should've immediately asked for a new plate but, I digress. I began to eat my food, almost immediately I noticed that my mouth began to itch, my lips became irritated and the inside of my mouth felt irritated as well. I ate around the nuts that were on my plate, however, I didn't feel good eating it. My stomach began to hurt so I had gone to the bathroom. My family had asked the server what was in my meal, she said it was in fact peanuts and NOT cashews. We left the restaurant after one of the servers had given me a Benadryl. I then had to be taken to the ER where I spent the rest of my evening and hadn't gone home until 12:35am. I was given medicine to stabilize my symptoms via IV. I'm thankful to be well and not be in a worse state health wise. However, it's upsetting that their menu wasn't updated. Food allergies when not attended to immediately can have fatal outcomes. (15 minutes to be exact) I advise anyone and everyone to always double check menus and triple check with your server and/or chef when visiting a place that potentially has ingredients/foods that may cause allergic reactions. I was also a little sad to hear, while I was in the bathroom, the servers didn't seem to concerned about my allergic reaction which is careless and unkind. I will not be eating here again and don't recommend eating here if have any kind of NUT allergies. Hope that this helps someone!

The red curry was the best I have ever had. A perfect combination of sweet, yet spicy. The pad Thai sauce was phenomenal. I highly recommend the garlic edamame- the sauce was mouth watering. Great service!!!! I highly recommend.

Pretty much the best and most authentic tasting green curry I've had in Miami. The only bad thing is the portion sizes for the price (especially for delivery was pretty disappointing.)

Always end up going here when I'm in the mood for Thai food in the brickell area. It has the classics and is a casual & bright little spot that's been here forever. My favorite thing to order is the red curry. Love the flavors in this dish and they do it justice. Thai lettuce wraps weren't the best and I was left craving the ones from PF changs. Overall simple and flavorful menu.

I've been wanting to go here for Years ! I always drive by it in brickell. Thai is one of my fav cuisines so the bar was high ! This thai is some of the best Thai I've had in Miami. My friend and I were sat down with no reservation. We ordered a green curry and massam curry. Both were so yummy ! My personal fav was the green curry. It was so rich with flavor. The Massam curry tasted as good as a grandma would make it. This is a really cute date spot btw. Pay by phone street parking. I will definitely go back here. I highly recommend this Thai spot for the curries.

You haven't had Thai food unless you've had BON DING! I go to Thailand multiple times per year and the food there is utter slop compared to the glorious and delicious BON DING! That's right, this place is better than actual Thailand it's such a sneak W. Do not walk, sprint as fast as you possibly can to eat here, and make sure to order: TOM KHA SOUP SPICY PORK BASIL "PAD GRA PROW" You're not ready, this place is amazing. The staff takes care of you better than your aunt does. I love this restaurant and I only discovered it a month ago. I've been 5 times, it's that good. BON DING!

Great environment the staff makes this the best sushi party experience in Miami! Both the cooked food as well as the sushi chefs such attention to detail. The Rolls and the Salmon Sash

This restaurant has good food. Our server was such a great guy; gave us a lot of recomendations and it was good. Great place to stop by and try some specialties from the menu. Note that they no longer have the sushi options.

Great food and great service!!! Soft shell crab buns are amazing The service and care to customers is superior!

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner on a Saturday night. It's a tad small but the decor and space was so nice, comfortable, and modern. We sat at the bar and it was really cool watching them cook without it being too loud or visible. The waitresses were so sweet and attentive. All good came out amazingly fast. We ordered the bbq duck bao buns as an appetizer and they came with a very good sauce, a little goes a long way! The main dishes we got were the Pad Thai and Pad See Eww and both were to die for. The portions were a great size and had plenty of flavor. Overall we'd definitely come back!

I'm going to start with service - exceptional! Everyone was so friendly, helpful and professional. We came as a party of 6 (3 kids) and the staff was so helpful with every spoon and fork that dropped on the floor haha besides that - the food is beyond delicious. Tom yum - Top notch, fried rice - top notch, pad Thai - top notch. We cleaned out plates and didn't take any photos, but trust me, every single dish was amazing. Highly recommended 10/10

First time visiting this spot. We sat outside due to covid. Service was amazing, the staff was super friendly and really helpful. Our Pad Thai was amazing, we ordered the bag of gold for our appetizer. Although it was super good, I couldn't really get a taste for the shrimp, still super good and would recommend!! The only thing I wasn't too blown away with was the Mexican roll, it was good but in my opinion the jalapeño overpowered the roll. I'm happy I tried tho, definitely not your conventional sushi roll. Would definitely come back to try more dishes!

We ordered "Thai spicy," and my mouth got burned, haha... The food was pretty amazing!

Bonding is the Thai restaurant we deserve in Miami. I have never been to Thailand, but this restaurant is consistent in its delicious food, attentive service and glammed up mood. I recently had the green curry with chicken and it was exactly what I picture having in a trendy Bangkok brasserie or at a seaside terrace in Phuket. The ratio of coconut milk and broth was delicately balanced, and I noticed that it had both stewed and fresh green beans. It was deeply satisfying and comforting. The decor is trendy with paper lamps, neon and contemporary furniture. On a prevIous visit I had the Massaman curry and the fragrant ingredients were so well selected I could have sworn it was made with cognac. This is an excellent choice for Thai food in Miami.

Authentic, good price for location. I would go back, I got green curry , I would go again

Amazing food and amazing service they were really nice to let us know that there is a Happy Hour on the items that we ordered. They were Really fast and Very nice. Cleanses? Last time a restroom like this ... Never? They even had a candle lit in the room, it was so cozy it felt like home.

Best Tom Ka Kai I have ever had. The staff are very kind and efficient. My favorite place to eat in town.

Definitely one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Miami. Their red curry is the best I've ever eaten in this city. I totally recommend this place if you're into authentic Thai food. Service and price is 10/10!!!!! Worth the stop!

The environment is lovely and the staff is very friendly. The food is heavenly. I recommend the Urey, all of them! And garlic edamame!!! I never knew you could cook edamame this way and it's extremely delicious!!! This is one of the best Thai restaurants I have ever had! Highly highly recommend!!!!!

This place is hidden right next to brickell city center and has amazing food!!! Both the pad Thai and massaman curry are to die for!!! Prices are fair and quantity is very satisfying. You can even say that sharing plate is an option. They have 2 small tables outside in case you want to people watch. Take out is my top choice. This place is a must!!! Their service is great also, you cannot be disappointed.

Came by here on Friday night because I wanted to try a new restaurant. I was expecting a little bit more authenticity but it's your average Thai/ Japanese food with the price that matches the area. Appetizers range from 9 to 20 which includes basic food that you can get at another restaurant for half the price. My partner and I tried their "bag of gold" fried dumpling it didn't blow my mind but the presentation was nice. Entrees are 20 and up. The food portion is good and the taste was good not amazing. Service was average too. So disappointed overall because I could have gotten the same pad Thai with the same portion and the same taste for a better price and if I was paying this price I expected better service.

The food was absolutely fantastic, the vibe is laid back and welcoming. I have never been to a restaurant with such attentive servers. My first five stars ever given. We had the gyozas, Tom yum soup with rice on the side and the chicken pad Thai. Enjoy!

Service was definitely off the evening we came. Our large party had called to make reservations and even confirmed with them earlier that day. However, when our group arrived, they were not prepared for us and had to hurry the table that was seated before us. Our waiter also seemed very aloof and was not very attentive. As for food, my duck noodle soup was simply prepared and pretty straight forward. I found the wonton chips to be unnecessary though as they weren't very crisp and didn't taste fresh. The duck itself was tender but not very flavorful. Everyone else at my table did seem to enjoy their meals without much complaint. As a note, their curries are apparently pre-made and they were not able to accommodate my vegetarian friend. Food: 3 Value: 3 Service: 1.5

Finally! Good Thai curry in Miami! I'm use to eating Thai about 4 times a month but ever since I relocated to Miami I haven't had the same luxury due to all the bad Thai food here. I was so reluctant to order but I've been eyeing them for weeks and finally gave in. The green curry was so good! The texture and flavor was perfect. I asked for it to be (Thai Hot) and it was a nice kick. It's so close to home I'll definitely a regular now!

Really enjoyed the food, specially the pork dumplings. Also had the Thai Chicken Wings and the Ice cream. The wings were really good, not too spicy but filled with flavors. The dumplings are by far one of the best I've had since I moved to MIA. The ice cream was okay, too much bread and I don't like that. We sat outside and it wasn't bad, you don't feel like you're in the middles of the street or anything. Giving them 4/5 because I feel that they could do presentations better, and to me presentation is a BIG thing.

I liked the food here. I didn't find it to be authentic Thai food but it was good nonetheless. I only knock off one star because I felt the food was a litttttlllleeeee on the salty side

The Tom Kha soup is sooo good! I would come just for that. The servers were nice too!

Absolutely fantastic place. Deserves every bit of 5 stars. Can't go wrong with quite literally any dish. Service was flawless and quality of food was impeccable. Fresh ingredients brought to table in a quick manner and just a phenomenal experience. You have gained some regulars Bonding team. Love this place!

Ahhhh!!! Just moved here and was on the hunt for the best Thai restaurant and I'm so glad I found it on the first try. It's a small quaint Thai spot off of the Brickell City Center. I would say portion size is a little bit less than most Thai places as I finished my pad Thai. And I NEVER finish my pad Thai in one sitting. My partner was also quite hungry still after dinner. Haha but the flavors were on point. The pad Thai was not too dry or too wet. Just the way I like it. Prices are a little higher here. But to satisfy your cravings in the city, you have to do what you have to do.

Love this small neighborhood place. Delicious, well-cooked shrimp tom yum and their green curry is the best I've found in Miami. The service has also always been friendly and very attentive.

The food at this Thai restaurant is tasty and well presented. The staff is very courteous and attentive with great upscale ambiance. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food you are getting. I recommend the pad Thai, it was a blend of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. It has a great combination of fish sauce saltiness and sugar sweetness. I also tried the volcano chicken hat came with Thai chili and garlic sauce over white rice. I did not like the popcorn shrimp, it was mostly bread. The mayonnaise sauce was repulsive. Oh I forgot to mention that they give you this mushroom soup which is delicious.

The pad thai and curry are good. Yesterday I went with my boyfriend and we had 2 pad thais. It's too much food if you are going late at night (we went around 9pm). The services is not thaaat great but food is good.

Exceptional Happy Hour at this boutique Asian Restaurant in the shadow of Brickell City Center, near the old Tobacco Road locale. First of all, quality wine, in large glasses, for $3 coupled with great Sushi (and other options - $6 per item.) we had, pictured here, an excellent Spicy Tuna Roll, alongside a Salmon Crust Roll, both delicious. We had to order a desert in the way of their Mexican Train Roll (Fried shrimp, plantains, egg roe, and mildly spicy sauce.) Along with one more $3 vino. Great vibes, cute place, attentive and friendly service. There are two outdoor tables, but at Rush Hour I'd recommend the window table we were offered. It's an easy walk from Downtown, assuming the Brickell Drawbridge cooperates. We plan to be regulars. Please join us.

A local friend recommended trying out Bonding after catching the Miami Heat game. This is a very cool small place I'd recommend to celebrate birthdays with a small group or a perfect spot to take a date out too! The service here is incredible alongside with the food! I was really blown away with the dragon roll I ordered which is usually my go to when I frequent sushi bars. Hands down this is the best dragon roll I've ever had, and it has such a perfect balance... not too much spice but just the right amount of kick to it and the flavor is amazing! Honestly the only negative I can think of is parking since it is downtown with construction everywhere. But once you find your way around that, you'll have a great time at Bonding!

Excellent Thai in a cozy atmosphere. We had a good variety of things this night, ranging from their homemade passion fruit sake to soft shell crab bao, two kinds of soup, "Drunken noodles" and delicious Massaman Curry. I'd say that this ranks highly among most of the local Thai places I've tried and we'll be back again.

Fantastic Thai food. Great service. I ordered a massaman curry and my husband had the pad Thai. Great both plates. I'll definitely go back!

Came here with my friend last night First time here. We had the lobster roll and the flaming fish.... what an excellent choice it was on food and in picking this place. The service was excellent!!! We started with sake bomb they have their own special Cups for sake we had hot sake in the middle with Sapporo beer on the outside.. it was much fun and delicious. The owner was there and came over to see how we were enjoying our time. It was a special night My friend had just returned from Tokyo and I wore the beautiful kimono he brought me. So yes I was dressed for the occasion.
