   Rarely have I had an experience such as this... First the establishment is BEAUTIFUL! The service was on excellent, and the food/drinks were outstanding (spring rolls, goldfish dim sum, pad Thai, beef satay and shrimp vindaloo). I will be back with more guest, and I hope that Gao stays around for a LONG time!!

   Mediocre Asian food at astounding prices. Realize that South Beach has few Asian spots but the quality/value equation is completely broken here. Can’t charge $25 for three pieces of dim sum that any serious Chinese restaurant would be embarrassed to serve. Service was excellent and the decor is attractive. But don’t compensate for food quality and cost.

   Surprisingly authentic thai / viet fare - pad Thai, green curry, Har Mok. Prawn vindaloo though tinkered with a bit too much to claim the name. Overall great experience with a large group.

   We were the first group of 5 including 2 kids on new years eve. All the seats were empty and the music was blasting with very loud speakers. We requested to be seated away from the speakers and a table with cushions. Absolutely refused to accommodate a simple request. Food was tasteless and overly priced. We left and not surprising, the place was a quarter full at most. Would not come back here.

   Food and ambience amazing but the wine list is extremely overpriced, some bottles are marked close to 4 x, as well as not enough selections around the $100 mark and under.

    We had a great experience last night at GAO. The food was amazing and reminded me of my travels to Thailand and Vietnam. The dishes were authentic and the service with a smile was a change from other Miami restaurants where you seem to bother the wait staff when you ask too many questions. The manager was very courteous and generous to buy us deserts. Strongly recommend it.
