    CLASSIC PAD THAI
    Caroline B.

    Degthai is one of my very favorite easy dinners out. The art throughout gives it a great vibe and they have both indoor and outdoor seating options (the outdoor is even covered now). I am not going to lie parking is rough but you don't have to pay and it is totally worth it. Service has always been quick and they take their time while checking you out to make sure you get what you want. My favorites are the red curry and pad Thai. I always order mine on the spicier side but chat with them to figure out what is best for you!

    The locals (aka my brother and his roommates) brought me to this Thai place when I said I wanted something good. This place did not disappoint! The food came out quick, hot and plentiful. My pad Thai had some big shrimp which was a nice change from the tiny ones most restaurants serve these days. The noodles had nice flavor and were very filling. I had enough leftovers for a whole other meal! I would definitely come back to get a pad Thai fix.

    A few times a year I find a place that deserves more than 5 stars Degthai is one of those spots. Parking lot was small but I got lucky. You enter and immediately go right. They have a pile of menus and you have all the time You want to review and decide. And, it's a nice simple menu. Not an overwhelming amount of choices. I like that. You then proceed to the counter to order. I got mine to go but same process for eat in. After you order, they give you a stand with a number card that you place on your table. The order came out pretty quickly even though the place was jammin'. I got spring rolls, dumplings and the OG Pad Thai and had them add chicken. The spring rolls were 4/5. The dumplings were 8/5. The pad Thai was 10/5. ;-) The pad Thai was loaded with 5 jumbo shrimp and quite a bit of chicken. I ordered it hot but would go next level of if I ever get back. They served with a small packet of pepper powder. Not sure what it was. The bean sprouts are served on the side with 2 limes. And honestly, there was no room in the pad Thai container to add them because it was such a generous portion! Highly highly recommend!!

    Go ahead and believe the hype. Degthai is that good. Besides its almost perfect rating on Yelp, it has won the top spot in Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat. The service is friendly (order at the counter and they will swiftly bring it to the table and ask if you need anything else). The vibe is hip Bangkok club house (if there is such a thing). The food is exceptional and damn if the portions aren't big enough for 2 or 3 meals, depending on your hunger level, surely a rarity anywhere the food is actually good these days. Normally when I see only one vegan option, I'm a little bummed out, even if sometimes decision fatigue can be a thing at places with multiple options. But when you do one vegan (entree) option and that vegan option is extraordinary... who the eff cares? The Tiew Gang Vegan is an enormous bowl of creamy, slightly spicy (not spicy enough for me, but they have an array of chili options on the table, including my fave, hot chili flakes in oil) coconutty goodness. It's packed with tofu, mushrooms, broccoli, bok choy and cauliflower, topped with green onions. Utterly heavenly. We also ordered the crispy tofu, also incredible. A large app, plenty to share and irresistable with its cucumber salad, sweet and sour sauce and chopped peanuts. I left Degthai obsessed. That's right. I can't get it out of my head. I may even be losing sleep over it. I can't stalk it because I live several states away. But I'm plotting a return...

    Very good spot. Cute building, a few gluten-free options (pad Thao, two curries), friendly service, fun decor, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is limited but we went early, no problem. We both ordered the Pad Thai and liked it, but found it a bit limited compared with other Thai spots we're used to that include more variety. It was a bit one note - just dense noodles that solidify into a block and a bit of veg, not enough other things mixed it like spring onions or whatnot. Good but could be great with minor tweaks.

    Chicken Red Curry
    Stefanie C.

    Degthai has been on my radar since I moved to Tennessee, and it definitely did not disappoint. It's a casual, street-style Thai spot where you order at the counter, grab a seat, and they bring the food out to you. There's plenty of space to sit and free parking, which is always a plus. The menu is small but solid, making it easy to choose. We did family style and tried a few things: the classic chicken pad thai (my favorite as a pad thai lover- so good), the red curry over white rice which was perfection, and fried rice that goes with everything. We also ordered Jay's Special since it was something new to us, and wow. Spicy, sweet, and savory stir-fry chicken over cucumber salad with rice... so good. They are also very accommodating with vegetarian and gluten free options, that way almost everyone can enjoy their dishes without sacrificing flavor and quality. Kudos to their staff, so friendly, so kind! Everything was a hit. Definitely recommend.!

    THAI ICE GREEN TEA
    Rebecca Y.

    5 stars every time from me. I love DegThai. Their location is so cute and the patio area has a really nice vibe with the lights. Their menu is limited, but they know how to execute everything with so much flavor and the perfect amount of spice. Their Pad Thai is the best I've had in Nashville so far and the Red Curry is my favorite. Tried their Green Thai tea which not many places have and it's so great!! Will always pay DegThai a visit when I'm craving some Thai food.

    Yelp's Top 100 places to Eat in the US winner? You better believe it! I am so glad I got to try out Degthai while visiting Nashville in the company of their lovely community manager, Bailey. This was the very first place we went after my plane touched down, and it was the perfect spot. The menu is unique and interesting without their being an overbearing amount of choices. From what I tasted, there probably isn't a bad item. We got some dumplings in spicy oil to share, because if you threaten me with dumplings, you can rest assured I will rise to the occasion. They were awesome. Dough was just the right texture, meaty filling full of interesting flavor and hearty, spicy oil leaves a little burn for later. To be honest, I'm no longer sure of the name of the dish i got for lunch... the flavors live rent free in my head forever though. Spicy, a little sour (in a good way), aromatic, and the meats were all tender. This place reminds me of a spot I have at home, that anytime I want to scratch an itch for this particular cuisine, I'm likely going there because it can't miss. If I lived in Nashville, I would be certain to be here a lot. Thanks Degthai!

    Degthai is not food, it's an event, a problem, and a personal attack on my health goals. This place has never fumbled. Not once. No mid dishes. No "it was good but ". Just nonstop excellence and reckless portions like they're trying to see how far they can push the human body. The service? Michelin star energy with "we know exactly what you want before you do" confidence. The food? Absolutely unhinged. The curries? Life altering. The Pad Thai? Illegal in several countries. The rolls and dumplings? I've accepted they now live rent free in my bloodstream. I blame Degthai entirely for my cholesterol, my BMI, and my inability to eat like a normal adult. Every time I eat here I start considering learning their language, changing my personality, and rethinking my entire cultural allegiance. That's how powerful this food is. People say "Nashville has great food," which is usually a bold lie told by people who haven't traveled. But Degthai? Degthai makes that lie sound believable. Briefly. I will keep coming back. I will keep pretending I'm "just grabbing something light." And Degthai will keep ruining my life in the best possible way.

    CRISPY SPRING ROLLS
    Ferdinand C.

    The atmosphere is lively. The staff is responsive and friendly. The guest is here for one thing and that is some good Thai food. This is my second time visiting and I promise you that it makes me want to visit this place even more. Too bad I don't live in Nashville. I took my little brother here and he used to live in Thailand. His response to me was that this place tastes just like the food you would get in Thailand. So we both give it a stamp of approval.

    Dumplings and spring rolls
    Missy S.

    I recently tried Degthai and while it seems to be a Nashville fan favorite, my experience was just okay. I ordered Jay's special rice, dumplings, and spring rolls. The dumplings were definitely the highlight--flavorful and satisfying. The portion sizes were generous, so you do get a lot of food for the price, which is a plus. However, the rice was pretty mediocre and didn't stand out, and the spring rolls were unfortunately overcooked. Overall, it's not a bad spot, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for me.

    Stopped by Thursday for dinner. Pretty tasty food...._a tad salty for me but seasoned well. I had the OG shrimp Pad Thai. Thin noodles soaked up all the flavorful sauce and the large shrimp made the dish. All the ingredients created a balance of flavor. The street dumplings were filled with pork and some vegetables. The tasted pretty good. The spring rolls were hot and crispy. My friends enjoyed the food they had ordered. I tried the soup and it had a distinct lemongrass taste. The lemon really made the soup delish. The place was clean and has many tables and chairs for patrons. It was consistently busy as we dined in whether people were ordering take out or enjoying a meal inside. The service was on point. Our food came out very quickly after we ordered and the servers were constantly cleaning up and attending to us. I would come back to try other entrees and sides on the menu. We had a great time.

    JUST A FRIED RICE and CLASSIC PAD THAI
    Ashley L.

    I will always crave Degthai! This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city, and there's a reason it's one of Nashvilles top restaurants year after year. The spice level is no joke if you're sensitive to spice (I am..lol), so I always order a level down from what I think I'd want, and if I want it more spicy then I add the spice from the table. I love having all the spices and things at the table to try and mix in myself. A great quick bite or even date night on the patio when the weather is nice.

With a 4.77 aggregate rating across all user-driven platforms and nearly 1,700 reviews to date, Krustaceans is much better on paper than it is in reality, a very overrated restaurant! As the highest-rated seafood joint on the entirety of Highway 70 across the America, it simply did not live up to the hype as I passed through Nashville. Perhaps I should have ordered crab or shrimp or some other boiled seafood which seems to be more of their specialty. But the fish and chips caught my attention. Beware, these aren't the fish and chips you'll find in the UK or the Northeastern United States. Instead of a crisp, beer-battered exterior, this is more like a catfish breading. And it's not bad, but it's just very different than the name would imply. The batter is probably too salty, but the fish is very fresh! The Cajun fries are horribly mediocre. They're definitely just frozen fries from a local supermarket with an uninspiring spice mix. The employees didn't seem very welcoming either, which was kind of sad since I was excited to be there. It's not a bad meal at all, but the ratings are way higher than they should be! If you're haphazardly shelling out five-star reviews, you've probably never had real seafood on the coast and have only inflated the truth for online viewers. Don't expect too much out of Krustaceans, hope for a decent meal, and you won't be disappointed.

Famous for not having a sign, finding it may be part of the adventure, but once you do, everything else is effortless. Parking is simple--just pull up and valet takes care of the rest. With a reservation, we walked right in with no wait. The most difficult part of the evening was deciding what to order because the menu offers so many tempting choices. I selected the Kvarøy Arctic Salmon, while my wife chose the Springer Mountain Farms All-Natural Chicken. Both dishes exceeded expectations. The salmon was cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. It rested on a bed of greens with a subtle lemon flavor that paired beautifully with the fish. The chicken was equally impressive--moist, tender, and packed with flavor. What stood out most was the incredible smoky aroma that hit before each bite, making it even more irresistible. For dessert, the Blackberry Lemon Bread Pudding was the perfect finish. Soft, warm, and bursting with flavor, it was a standout ending to an already exceptional meal. From the outstanding food to the attentive service, Urban Grub delivered a fantastic dining experience. Make a reservation, enjoy the meal, and see if you can find the place.

I took my dad here for a late Father's Day/Birthday celebration. He's been wanting to go here for a while but since his girlfriend doesn't like seafood boils, he has no one to go with him. I've never done a seafood boil so this was a new experience for me. We were greeted immediately and sat at a clean table. Our waitress was awesome, she was attentive and quick. My dad had Combo G extra hot (1/2 pound snow crab legs, 1/2 pound shrimp, and 1/2 pound sausage with potato and corn), I had Combo I medium spice (1 pound shrimp, 1/2 pound sausage, potato, and corn) and a side of coleslaw, and my husband had spicy onion rings, crab cakes, and corn made hot with Old Bay seasoning. My dad requested butter and they gave him a whole bowl of their deliciousness! Our food came out quickly and we were given bibs, gloves, and a trash can. Our waitress refilled my husband's and dad's drinks twice without them asking (I was slow to drink mine). The food here is SO good!!! I regretted not making mine hot with old bay seasoning because truth be told, if you can handle spicy food, even the extra hot isn't that spicy. However, everything was perfect and I had a lot of fun getting a little messy. Their coleslaw was phenomenal. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was my husband's crab cakes but he really enjoyed them. We didn't have to wait for a check or for to-go boxes. Our waitress was on top of it throughout our entire meal. We will definitely be back!!

Mistakes happen, but refusing to fix them is poor management and worse customer service. Very disappointing experience.

Instead, we spent a fair amount of time looking at the menu trying to figure out what actually appealed to us. And when the food arrived, I started to understand why. The food was good. There's no question about that. We enjoyed the chicken, but even there, I found myself thinking that there was just a little too much going on. A little more sauce. Another ingredient. A garnish. Something else for texture. Then something else for contrast. At some point, I start wondering if the chef is trying to make dinner or win a culinary scavenger hunt. I prefer my elegance with a little less. Sometimes the best way to elevate a great ingredient is to give it a little room to breathe. The menu felt somewhat limited, and the food didn't quite live up to the very high expectations created by the restaurant's reviews. Everything we had was good, but I didn't walk away thinking it was as exceptional as I had anticipated. Overall, four stars. Etch is clearly a talented kitchen with a lot of creativity. I just think they may be trying a little too hard. Sometimes less really is more, especially when the ingredients are good enough to stand on their own.

We came here for late dinner, 8.30 and this place was not packed which is very surprising, bc they play music jazz music, and you can have a lovely dinner and still hear ppl talk.

We got the pork chop medium well bc we like our pork more cooked bc ain't no one trying to get salmonella from undercooked pork. But it was sooo good, has a nice char on the outside, and perfectly seasoned. Additionally, it sits on top of a bed of allegedly "rice" according to our server. But to me, it reminded me of a tendon brisket texture. I would've bet money on it too. But delicious with sweet peach sauce that came with it. For the prime rib, it was a huge cut of meat, but it was lacking flavor, needed some more salt and some rosemary to bring out the meat. Both main dishes can serve 2 people each, so worth the price and food. Definitely come back! And a shout out to our server Cole, who was great

The small signage made it a little difficult to find inside the Marriott (see pictures), but from the moment we walked in, heard the live piano player and saw the dining area - we knew this would be a great experience. We started off by sharing orders of Lobster Bisque (see picture) and Burrata with Toast (see pictures). We really enjoyed both of them - the Lobster Bisque was so creamy and smooth and the Burrata was cool, fresh and clean. They were a great combination to start our dinner experience and I would recommend both of them. Since it was a Friday during lent, my wife opted for the BBQ Shrimp Pasta (see picture) and I went with the Daily Fish Special on Blue Corn Grits (see picture). As we always do when we go out, we shared our plates and really enjoyed both of them. The BBQ Shrimp Pasta was rich, buttery and smooth and the Fish Special was a tasty white, flaky and blackened fish served on a bed of rich, creamy blue corn grits. Here again, both are highly recommended.
