Worth the Drive: Asian Food in South Florida
Six Asian restaurants north of Miami that justify the traffic, from Isan Thai in Fort Lauderdale to charcoal Korean barbecue in Lauderhill.

Not by a star rating. By the dish you want, the night you are having, or the kitchen you are in the mood for. Every number below is real.
620 restaurants across 87 neighborhoods and 150 cuisines. Nobody pays to appear here, and nobody pays to rank.
Brickell after work, Wynwood on a Saturday, Coral Gables when it matters. Each area eats differently.
Every one names the places, says what to order, and shows how it was put together. None of them are for sale.

Six Asian restaurants north of Miami that justify the traffic, from Isan Thai in Fort Lauderdale to charcoal Korean barbecue in Lauderhill.
