    I have filed a complaint with the Tennessee Board of Health against this restaurant. There was a shard a glass in the wonton soup I received tonight. I contacted the restaurant immediately, only to receive chuckles and "we don't put glass in our soup." The manager then advised me to bring it back in and he would get me a new one. I replied "I don't want anything from your restaurant except for that soup to not be sold because someone could seriously be hurt." I received another chuckle and "no." Please do not eat here. There is obvious, blatant disregard for food safety and procedure.

    Simply awful! Cheap-o runs this joint. They messed up my order and the next day refused to fix it properly. I will never go back here.

    The steamed wontons are some of the best I have ever had, and I have never had a bad experience with their sweet and sour chicken.

To me, this is the perfect order for 2: 2 orders of peanut butter dumplings (yes, you need your own because they're that good, and for optimal sauce dipping for your other dumplings too!!) and an order of steamed half chicken coriander half spicy pork dumplings. Definitely don't skip the drinks! I got the lychee dragonfruit tea and added in lychee popping boba this last time. Delish. I haven't been super impressed with some of the items aside from the dumplings - I wouldn't get the hot and sour soup again and could take or leave the cucumber salad. But the dumplings and the drinks alone easily make this place a 5/5. Some of the best dumplings I've had in Nashville!

    Dumplings were pretty good! I think I will do the pan seared next time. I wish they told me you…read morehave to ask for dumpling sauce when you order in because I would have wanted that too. I didn't know until after that the had it. I really enjoyed my milk tea. It was delicious. Food was brought to the table after you order and the place is really cute. My friends love the spot. I like all the different tea and dumplings they have. I'll be back again to try the pan seared with dumpling sauce.

    A classic local Nashville thai spot with the coziest interior and great parking! It's no wonder why…read moresmiling elephant has withstood the test of time, and the test of 8th ave's growth. I'd definitely recommend dining in - we went in on a rainy Thursday around 6 and it was already packed, but a table for two opened within about five minutes. Service is great and food hits the table quickly. We started with the fresh rolls, chicken and cabbage dumplings, and the tom kha. We added a side of peanut sauce, which was a game changer for the fresh rolls. The tom kha was a little tart for my taste, but was loaded with veggies that were cooked perfectly. The dumplings were super tender, and the fresh rolls are my favorite in town! For entrees, we got the pad thai and pad see-ew with rice noodles. Both absolutely delish, and we loved how the pad see-ew was prepared simply and traditionally with Chinese broccoli. Those portions are not to be reckoned with... we ended up taking two boxes full of noodles home! Their sticky rice with mango was our favorite bite of the night. The rice was the PERFECT texture, in a not-too-sweet sauce, topped with toasted coconut, and the juiciest, sweetest mango. What a treat.

    I wavered between a 3 or 4 star review for this restaurant so take that as you will. This place has…read morewon many awards and was "good". I have eaten Thai from Washington state to Florida and everything in between. I always get chicken pad Thai as a barometer to compare between restaurants. I can't believe it but the very best Thai restaurant I have experienced is in Frankfort Ky. I'm spoiled so even a "good" experience isn't going to rank as high. This is a really cute restaurant and from the parking lot I knew it was a local favorite. Chicken and cabbage dumplings were excellent. Pad Thai was good, as mentioned. The sauce wasn't very flavorful and while I like onions, this dish had A LOT. Red and green onion and not consistently chopped. The green onions were very large, fibrous pieces that were difficult to eat. I also like the egg component but this dish had a lot of egg and seemed to be a large filler. We also had the pad see ew with chicken. Also good, but not outstanding. The service was top notch and the restrooms were very clean.
