Do not go to this place.
We got tricked by the rating which was 4.4 stars. Some reviews of 4 and even 5 stars reviewed this place as excellent.
We are very dissapointed on the people who took the time to give this place more than 1 star.
We do understand that in Miami, the predominant cuisine is the latin cuisine, specially in Little Havana... But come on... This is not a place worth calling "the best asian food around"... The only nice thing I will say about this place is that the place is cozy (period)
I was on a date with my fiancee celebrating International Women's Day, and it ended up being the worst Thai/Asian food we have ever tried!
There are not enough adjectives to describe how horrible the food was.
In a nutshell, I ordered the Vegetable Fried Rice.
I’ve been a fan of veggie fried rice since I tried it for the first time in Pattaya when my mom used to cook it at home I was always captivated by the spicy and umami flavors around the kitchen.
In this restaurant, the rice is soaking in oil, very salty, and the portion is unbelievably small (taking in consideration that Asian restaurants and take outs are known for specifically large portions, specially when it comes to rice)...
Anyway, I asked the waitress to put extra veggies (even if I had to pay extra) because we are vegan.
The plate came out with pieces of carrot, broccoli, and onions. Pieces that you could count with one hand. That was it. I asked the waitress if she had forgotten the extra veggies order and she said that was it. (If that is extra Veggie, I wonder how does the regular plate looks like).
I was expecting to see green peas, mushrooms, green or red (or any kind of peppers for that matter), maybe some Coliflower and scallions... At least they topped it off with cilantro...
My fiancee ordered the Veggie & Tofu Pad See Ew... And the story is the same... Oily, salty and over cooked noodles...
Before this nightmare began, my fiancee ordered a glass red wine which was very good, and I ordered a Thai beer "Chang" ... Can't go wrong with a cold lager... And we went ahead and order our appetizer.
Who can resist some delicious crispy vegetable tempura? Right? crispy yet airy coating that doesn't absorb oil when deep fried...
MISTAKE...
First of all, the appetizer never came ... I was done with my oily fried rice and my beer when the veggie Tempura arrived. My fiancee was also about done with her dish too.
And the Tempura? Horrible...
The batter was tasteless, and the veggies had taken the flavor of the oil... The diping sauce which was supposed to be an aromatic well balanced kombu dashi with grated ginger ended up being a simple water down hoisin sauce with dry ginger flakes...
One thing really surprised us was the fact that they had eggplant, sweet potato, yellow squash, zucchini, & coliflower for the tempura... Why couldn't they use this for my veggie fried rice? Or my fiance's Pad See Ew???... It does not make any sense...
I know this is mostly a Thai place, but they proudly advertise themselves as an Asian Kitchen as well... Food wise this place is a disgrace... It does not honor Thai food and for what we tasted in the Vegetable Tempura does not honor the Japanese Culinary culture either...
Again, we are dissapointted at the food, but mostly at the lack of knowledge of people when it comes to Asian food specially Thai. Leaving 4-to-5 star reviews just because the place is cozy and the service is friendly doesn't help the community to have a nice eating-out-experience!
One might think I am being to harsh, I might be ... However, the truth sometimes hurts and reviews are meant to...
Read moreA Thai Gem in Miami: Asian Thai Kitchen is a Must-Try! A true celebration of authentic Thai cuisine that will leave your taste buds dancing and your heart full. This unassuming yet extraordinary restaurant is a hidden gem that every food lover in Miami must experience. From the moment you taste their dishes, you’ll understand why this spot is a local favorite and a my favorite Asian and Thai destination worth raving about. Under the passionate leadership of owner Koon Nila, Asian Thai Kitchen delivers an unparalleled dining experience that blends tradition, love, and creativity. Koon’s dedication to showcasing the true essence of Thai flavors shines through in every dish, made with fresh ingredients and lots of love. The Thai cooks here pour their hearts into their craft, infusing each plate with the bold, harmonious balance of sweet, spicy, sour, and savory that defines authentic Thai cuisine. Their love for what they do is palpable, transforming every bite into a journey to the bustling street markets of Thailand. The menu is a masterpiece of vibrant flavors. The Shrimp Pad Thai is a revelation, with perfectly chewy noodles, plump shrimp, and a tamarind sauce that strikes the ideal balance of tangy and sweet, elevated by a sprinkle of crushed peanuts. The Panang Curry is a creamy, spicy dream, bursting with aromatic kaffir lime and tender bell peppers, while the Tom Kar Gai (coconut milk soup) wraps you in a warm, fragrant embrace of lemongrass and galangal. For something truly indulgent, the ATK Crispy Duck—crisp-skinned, succulent, and paired with a sweet-tart tamarind sauce—is a showstopper that will leave you speechless. Even the simplest dishes, like the Miso Soup, are elevated with unexpected depth and flavor, proving the kitchen’s mastery. What makes Asian Thai Kitchen truly stand out is its unbeatable value. Generous portions, fresh ingredients, and exquisite flavors come at prices that feel like a steal—most entrees are under $16, making it an incredible bang for your buck. Whether you’re savoring a solo meal or ordering for a group, the quality and quantity never disappoint. Speaking of groups, this restaurant (ATK) is a dream for special events, office lunches, or workplace gatherings. You can easily order from the comfort of your home or office via their seamless online companies like uber eats or call directly to arrange catering for events. Koon and her team go above and beyond to ensure every order is perfect, whether it’s a quick lunch break or a festive group celebration.
The atmosphere, though modest with just a small table and a small counter, exudes warmth thanks to Koon’s hospitality and the staff’s genuine care (it is best to order for pick up or delivery, the seating area is kind of a waiting area or for one to eat fast). The flavors are so authentic and explosive that you’ll find yourself planning your next visit or your next delivery order before you’ve even finished your meal. For delivery, the packaging is impeccable, ensuring your food arrives hot and fresh, ready to brighten any workday or gathering.
Asian Thai Kitchen is more than a restaurant—it’s a love letter to Thai cuisine, crafted by Koon Nila and her talented team of cooks who live for their art.

Read moreWe were looking for a good Thai restaurant in Miami and came across Asian Thai Kitchen 2 among the long list of Thai restaurants in Miami. We decided to give them a shot even though we’d never heard of them. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. I think she might’ve been the owner based on how polite and friendly she was. As you may already know, Miami is not known for their customer service, but she was great. She didn’t rush us and told us to take our time in deciding what to order. The menu is surprisingly extensive and is very moderately priced. We both ordered soup as our starter. I ordered the miso soup which considering how basic a miso soup is, I was pleasantly surprised at just how flavorful theirs is. My fiancé ordered the Tom Kar Gai (creamy coconut milk soup). It was thick and creamy and very well flavored. For our entrees, we ordered the Panang curry: the sauce was impeccable. Best Panang curry I’ve had in a very long time. We also ordered the chicken with Thai Ginger Sauce: if you love ginger (as do I), you’ll love this dish. It has the perfect amount of ginger and the sauce tastes delicious when poured over their fluffy, steamed, white jasmine rice. Overall, this is the best Thai food I’ve had in years. The portions are generous and plentiful, the flavors are authentically Thai, the prices are very fair, and the service is fast and attentive. I’ll be back without a doubt next time I’m in the mood for some great Thai...
