Big Pancakes, Good Coffee, and an Easy Brunch Choice We've…read morebeen here quite a few times and keep coming back because it's just an easy brunch spot that doesn't disappoint. The menu has a good variety of croissants, egg dishes, toasts, coffees, and juices. One of my favorites is the breakfast croissant with egg, ham, and melted cheese. The cheese inside is so good and really makes the whole sandwich. We also tried the scrambled eggs. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the whole wheat toast, which felt a little dry, but everything else was good. If you're coming hungry, get the pancake platter. The portion is huge and perfect for sharing. It comes with eggs, bacon, and three large pancakes. They also have no problem bringing extra syrup, which is always appreciated. For drinks, we've had iced cappuccino, lattes, and the detox juice. The detox juice was actually really good, especially for a green juice. Service is always quick and attentive, and the atmosphere is calm and comfortable. It's the kind of place where people grab breakfast, work on their laptops, or stay a while and enjoy their coffee. Nothing overly fancy, just a solid brunch spot with fair prices and consistently good food. We'll definitely keep coming back.

YES!!! THE PLACE:…read morelocated on a strip mall, plenty of free parking is available. Inside, the restaurant is beautifully decorated with a mixture of cozy traditional, and clean modern decor. Tables available. THE FOOD: On our visit my husband grabbed a crossaint sandwich and a peanut butter smoothie, both of which he really loved. I had an iced coffee and a pane chocolate (flaky top, soft buttery inside) - which I haven't stopped thinking about in over a month. I do believe that the restaurant overall has higher pricing in comparison to their portions, but then again this is also South Florida. THE SERVICE: the staff was very nice, helpful, and worked well together in the back and in the dining floor as they arranged and cleaned the restaurant consistently. At one point, I believe I met the manager who was also delight to speak to.

I found out about this spot from New York Times list of the top 25 restaurants in Miami and I was not disappointed. The food came out fresh, hot, and packed with FLAVOR. I ordered the vegetable spring rolls, Red curry with chicken, and Crab fried rice, and every dish was well-balanced and tasty. The portions were extremely generous. The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant had a nice cozy, homey vibe. If you're looking for authentic Thai food with great service and reasonable prices, Ricky's Thai Bistro is definitely worth a visit. My new no. 1 spot for Thai food.

The restaurant opens at 4:00 p.m., so there are no lunch specials. We arrived just a few minutes after opening and had our pick of seating. The dining room is on the smaller side, and given its high ratings, I'd recommend arriving early. Not long after we were seated, the tables started filling up quickly. Our server was friendly, attentive, and offered several excellent personal recommendations. To start, we ordered the vegetable spring rolls, which were delicious and came with five generously sized rolls. For my entrée, I chose the chicken Pad Thai. When I asked about adding spice, our server suggested ordering it on the side, which turned out to be the perfect recommendation. The Pad Thai arrived promptly and was absolutely delicious, and being able to adjust the spice level to my liking made the dish even better. My partner ordered the red curry, which arrived piping hot and was thoroughly enjoyed. Before leaving, we ordered the crab fried rice to go, and it was packed with noticeable chunks of crab. One thing worth mentioning is that the portions are very generous--large enough to share in many cases. Other than the somewhat challenging parking situation, I have no complaints. The food, service, and overall experience were excellent, and I look forward to returning whenever I'm back in the area.
