Two portraits adorn the wall, paralleled by a pixelated mirror. Inverted take-out bags line the ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, I tried an appetizer of crispy-fried calamari. The blend of crunchy and chewy textures was enjoyable, as was the orange flavored dipping sauce served alongside.<\/p>\n<p>From the Japanese side of the menu, the tuna tataki consists of pan-seared tuna, thinly sliced and served over a bed of stringed carrots and is accompanied by a California roll and sashimi platter. Overall, the flavor is good, but it is not very filling.<\/p>\n<p>A dish from the Thai group, the pad thai, was very good. Served with your choice of protein\u2014chicken, beef, or shrimp\u2014the meal came wrapped up in a blanket of an omelet, concealing the deliciousness inside.<\/p>\n<p>Soi\u2019s specialty, however, is in their curry dishes. Their massaman curry was rated No. 1 curry in Miami by Miami New Times. I cant say I disagree at all. The spicy bite of the curry was mellowed well with the coconut milk and provided exquisite flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Although I\u2019m not big on desserts, the tempura cheesecake was delicious. It was mango flavored at the time, although I\u2019m told it\u2019s usually strawberry.
