Lung Yai Thai Tapas

Little Havana


This tiny gem in Little Havana has some excellent Thai cooking – and provides a nice change of palate in the area. Chef and owner Bas Trisransi produces a menu ideal for sharing – hence the 'tapas' in the name – try the perfectly spiced fried chicken wings, tender duck salad or a much-revered Kaho Soi Gai (a rich noodle curry).

Lung Yai is a tight space (part of the charm is sitting at the counter and watching the cooks in action), though there are more tables in the yard outside.
