Miami doesn't have great Japanese, Chinese, Thai cuisine restaurants - actually let me correct that, Miami doesn't have great Asian food restaurants at an affordable price. In my own experience, for less than $10 you can have amazing Pad Thai Noodles in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, LA, but in Miami that same quality will cost you double. I think this is due to the fact that the Asian population in Miami is not as big as other cities in the States, but really, I don't know why - or maybe I will find a great Asian food restaurant at a reasonable price and then be writing another different post, but again, for now I stand by what I just said.

So Saturday I am meeting my friend to try for the first time the restaurant Sushi Maki in Coral Gables. My friend comes to Sushi Maki all the time, and so I trusted him that my time would not be wasted. Oh boy it did.

tom yum koong soup from sishi maki in coral gables

Dish Name: tom yum koong (traditional thai soup with shrimp in a tangy & spicy lemon grass broth)
Price: $6.95

The bowl came pretty quickly after ordering - and it was a very large one. Really the ratio between liquid vs solid was too high, too much liquid and I believe I got 3 shrimps on this soup and a random mushroom here and there. There was no lemon grass flavor whatsoever, quite a disappointment and I do not think they should serve such a large bowl as I kept drinking and drinking and it never ended. By the time I said to myself "give up on this soup, it's just not worth it to keep paddling" (I had flashes of canoe paddling), I was so full of really nothing that I did not order another dish. Don't get me wrong, this dish is $6.95, not too much of an investment, but I would recommend Sushi Maki to bring the liquid ratio down if they want to sell a main course after this lagoon.
