The tempura shrimp and veggies were so so good. Three smaller shrimpies. Three onion rings. 147 sweet potato sticks. The dipping sauce was spot on. I ate every bike. The lil missis had the basil roll. Time at bit of shrimp and then basil... she was it was largely a tasteless salad. ( don't shoot the messenger) The drunken noodles were great. Spivey but not too Spicy for this white boy. My wife added more spice on one side. The other dish was lava hot. It came with peanuts and bean sprouts. It was sweet, just like my date. We shared the dishes and I liked hers and she liked mine. We argued about the drunken noodles. Why the name? Is the chef drunk or the noodles? We have no answer. We got the leftovers to go and vanished quietly in the night. This morning I looked in the fridge and smiled that knowing smile of what is to come tonight for dinner. Yup- leftover Asian food. What is not to like. I'll go again. You should too. The sushi looked great- maybe next time.

My husband and I, along with our baby came in for lunch on a Saturday. When we came in the…read morerestaurant wasn't too busy but the people who were there seemed like locals and they were really enjoying the food. Always a good sign. We got sat and looked over the menu, one thing I thought was really nice was that they offered their lunch on a weekend. Not many places do that. We decided however to order their dinner for two which comes with two entrees and a choice of app or dessert. We got their fresh basil rolls and also got a cup of their tom yum soup to split. For entrees we got their phad Thai and yellow curry. The soup and basil rolls came out super fast. Both were delicious. The soup was light and flavorful with the ginger and lime really shining through. The basil rolls were also light and the sauce was great with it. The basil didn't overpower any of the other flavors and the shrimp was very fresh tasting not fishy at all. My husband had never tried either before and was really happy with both of them. The entrees were very well portioned (meaning we had amazing leftovers). The curry a a bit of spice but not too much and you could taste all the other flavors in it. The phad Thai was good it was a bit watery with the sauce but the flavor was there. The only complaint either of us had was that the chicken was a bit dry. But that was small compared to how good everything was. It was a great lunch. When we are back in Maryville which is often because my husband works there it's definitely a place I want to go again. They have great food and the prices and really good. Plus the service is awesome. Our server offered to box up our food for us when my husband was in the bathroom and I had our daughter in my lap because she wanted to make it easier for me which I really appreciated.

We had a nice dinner at Bella Hibachi and Sushi on Saturday with a group of six. This is a…read moretraditional Japanese restaurant where you can either sit around one of the flat-top grills and enjoy watching the chef prepare your meal or sit in the regular dining area and order from essentially the same menu. We have always chosen the hibachi grills in the past, but this time we decided to eat in the other part of the restaurant and enjoyed the change. Bella is a very popular restaurant, and if you want the full hibachi experience at one of the grills, I would recommend getting there early or being prepared for a long wait. One advantage we discovered on this visit is that the wait can be substantially shorter if you choose to eat in the regular dining area instead. You still have access to the same menu, just without having the chef prepare the meal in front of you. I ordered the filet and shrimp. The meal was good, although the filet did not seem like the same quality of filet I have had there on previous visits. It honestly tasted more like regular steak to me. In the past, I have always felt the upgrade from steak to filet was well worth the relatively small difference in price, and I would still recommend ordering the filet. Our service Saturday was very good. My wife also brought home some hibachi chicken, which I had as leftovers the following day, and I thought it was very good as well. Overall, Bella Hibachi and Sushi continues to be a good choice for Japanese and hibachi food. The portions are generous, the service on this visit was excellent, and we've had many enjoyable meals there over the years. If you're not particularly interested in the hibachi show, the regular dining area is a great option and may save you a considerable wa

Friends came here for spring break and recommended hibachi with ribeye steak and scallops. It was delicious. The plate had the ribeye steak cooked the way you like it.

They had a counter for sushi that you could watch them make. All in all good place to come and enjoy the food. Will be back next time back in town.

My first review for my hobby: Bert's Feast or Flop, where I review my experiences with restaurants…read moreand fast food places to determine whether they are a FEAST or a FLOP. I wanted to start with Thai Cuisine in Maryville because this place deserves more business. Food: 5/5 The food tastes amazing! Everything was cooked perfectly, tasted fresh and you can tell it was made by a chef who truly cares about their cooking. The portion sizes and presentation were excellent and very filling. This was my first time ever trying curry, and I was extremely impressed -- I loved every bite. If you're ever curious about trying curry, get the Yellow Curry. The spice levels range from 1-5, and I got level 2. It had great heat without overpowering the flavors. I also had a bite of my mother's Tornado Shrimp, and it was fried and sauced perfectly. It's hard to sauce fried food well, but Thai Cuisine does it perfectly every time. The vegetables were cooked to perfection too -- they had a great crunch without tasting raw. Lastly, the potstickers are the best in Maryville! ‍ Service: 5/5 The service was professional and super friendly. Our server, Yolanda, was incredibly helpful when it came to deciding which curry I should try and what protein paired best with it. The pacing of the service was excellent because we had time to enjoy our appetizer without feeling rushed into our entrée. You can also tell the cook(s) is passionate about what they do. Atmosphere: 4.5/5 The restaurant was very clean, and the vibes were exactly what you'd expect from a Thai restaurant. My only nitpick was that we were seated next to another group even though there was plenty of space in the restaurant where we could've had a little more room to ourselves. Value: 5/5 The portions absolutely matched the value of what we ordered. I know eating out can get expensive nowadays, but this place is absolutely worth the price they charge. Final Thoughts I absolutely adore Thai Cuisine in Maryville and the employees who work there. They're always friendly and always deliver great food. This will always be one of my go-to spots whenever I'm craving a fresh meal. I just wish this restaurant wasn't so hidden because more people deserve to discover and try it. I'd love to see them move to a more noticeable location someday. If you love Thai food, this is the place to go for a guaranteed great experience! FEAST Overall Rating: 5/5 Would I Go Back?: YES

Their General Tso's Chicken is sweet, but not too sweet...with just the right amount of kick for my weak self. It just works for me, to be honest. It is served with huge chunks of cooked green pepper, and that was good! Mmm! Gotta have your veggies with your fried meat concoctions! That's what I had last year. This year I went basic and went with hibachi chicken, and boy did that hit the spot! Brown rice is the norm down here, if you don't know. And that worked well with the hibachi chicken. The broccoli was crisp and tasty and went well with the flavor of the sauce and chicken. If you want some chinese takeout and you're in Pigeon Forge, this is a good bet!

There wasn't any sauce in the bag for my egg rolls. I ordered the shrimp w lobster sauce in the "brown" sauce as it is served in a clear sauce at this place. I ordered the garlic shrimp some wonton soup and egg rolls and veg lo mein. My bill was $60+. The food was pretty tasty although the wonton soup was very "clear" and had 2 wontons that were so small. This was not good at all and I asked for a large and received a pint. So there is that. The egg rolls were burnt and there wasn't much to those either. Plus I had to ask for the sauce. Now the shrimp w lobster sauce, the garlic shrimp and the lo mein were very tasty and of adequate portion for the price. I do think I will reorder from here on my way home in the future and try some other dishes. Ming Tree has the most flavor in their food in this area. So yay for that!!!
