Lucky Thai Food - Miami Beach

I really wanted to love this place, had visited a few others that I really liked to eat and (which I think) was one of the owners was also very friendly. but that said last night had bought a terrible food poisoning from her chicken dish. I know it was the meal I had eaten on the other day I had previously eaten out of my own refrigerator two days before and was in order. Unfortunately, this is my third time in my life with food poisoning, so I know the signs, timing, etc. of everything. bummer! it can even pass the best of places, since huh is a tricky little animal.

Come and eat here! don’t think twice. We ordered calamari appetizer (excellent), duck in curry, and pineapple fried rice. All dishes were packed with amazing flavor and fresh. Also very generous large entree portions. We were very satisfied and surprised this place wasn’t packed. The chef is the sweetest, came out asking us how everything is. And waitstaff are very pleasant.

Edit for business reply: yup, and I’ve lived on Miami Beach for 6 years, and the food I received from you was just okay. I’ve had better, and since you want to be snarky, I can specify for others that Siami Thai has better pad thai and thai tea in the same price range. The prices listed below did not include DoorDash fees. I paid $7 toward tip and $10 in fees and tax, because yes, I understand the concept of paying a premium for services in the pandemic. When the food is mediocre though, it’s mediocre, and seeing the online reply, I can see the service won’t even be that. Original review was 3/5, reduced to 1/5 in light of business reply.I ordered delivery. It’s good, not $20 per tofu pad Thai good. $12 at best. Thai iced tea is okay. Not sweet enough or worth $5. I’d have to try in person to see if the ambiance and serve make it worth $35pp after tax and tip.

The only thing better than the food is the service. I had to wait a bit longer for my takeout order but was offered a complimentary cocktail while I waited. The owner assured me that it would be worth it. He was not wrong. The food was fresh and delicious with several unique items on the menu. Namaste to the chef !

Walked in the Lucky restaurant today around 7 pm with 2 friends. Asked for menu, the gentleman behind counter threw the menu across counter. Zero service. Need to learn how to give menu to guest. My friends decided to stay as the food is ok.Don't expect service. The sad part is that the bill comes in with service charge 18% already included. Never checked on us to see how is tje food and everything. Saw him washing the glass in the sink. Do not expect your water glass to be washed in a dish waaher- steamed during COVID.Good luck!
