    Everything I have tried is amazing. Top favorites are drunken noodles and pho. I am picky when it comes to pho and normally eat at Bida and Bida only for it, but it was a Tuesday so I gave it a try. 10/10. So much flavor. No need to add any other sauces.

    The atmosphere was perfect so cute and cozy! Best service ever! Everything we ate was absolutely delicious! Accidentally ordered the sticky mango rice for dessert so I went ahead and ordered the tiramisu also because it's my favorite, it did not disappoint! That mango sticky rice was a wonderful surprise! Can't wait to go back!

    Great new location, amazing atmosphere and the service was amazing. Had some of the best Pad Thai. Crab Rangoon were very good as well. Ignore the latest bad reviews, nothing bad about this establishment.

    3 shrimp in the entire container.

    Ordered Tom Kha soup with shrimp tonight. The good news is - broth is great! Bad news - there's no substance...about 4 slices of mushrooms, 2 cherry tomatoes, and 3 plastic spoon size shrimp in the LARGE container! Will not be ordering again unfortunately. Shrimp were $2 add on. Worth about $0.50! Broth for $12 - I can only assume there are better options out there.

    I want to start off by saying that the owner did the right thing and refunded one of our meals when I told him about our disappointing experience. He was really apologetic and nice about it. I'm hoping on my next trip it'll be a 5 star review. That said, I can only review on what was my food experience on this day. The restaurant felt a little "shabby"... Self serve water station looked very messy (so much so we paid for bottled water) and it just didn't feel welcoming and super clean. We grabbed menus at the front and went to our table to decide what to order. We ordered two entrees. An order of drunken noodles with beef (12.00 plus an extra 2.50 for the beef) and an order of crispy shrimp (14.00). We also ordered an extra side of sauce which was a single tiny plastic container and was a dollar. That's a bit high for a single container we felt. We ordered two bottles drinks (again, because the water station looked like it wasn't kept up). When the order came I was beyond shocked our $14 shrimp entree came with 3 total shrimp, 4 carrot slices and 2 pieces of broccoli with rice. I felt like this was a kid's meal, not a $14 adult meal. The veggies were ice cold and the rice was luke warm. I asked the owner if 3 shrimp, and a garnish of cold veggies was normal. He apologized profusely and said his son was injured and as the cook they're struggling to keep up without him. Immediately he refunded me for that entree and told me to please give them a second chance. It was because of his kindness and willingness to take responsibility that I will give them a second chance! The drunken noodles were OK. The sauce was all on the bottom (as if it was poured in and the food placed on top) and so it didn't have a lot of flavor. The beef was very tough and really wasn't appetizing either, but with just 3 shrimp we ate it. At least the sauce itself was good when we got to the bottom noodles. I think this dish could have been better with chicken (no upcharge there) and if the noodles were covered in sauce better. Overall I'm hoping it truly was an off night for this place because the other reviews are great and the owner was so helpful. I look forward to a better experience next time and being able to edit my review to show a better experience. Thank you to the owner for trying to make it right! I appreciate that very much.

    Combo Meal

    I have order from here twice now. Both times excellent. Last time I ordered was the pho and it's became probably my top three pho. This time I order a combo with fried chicken it's so good season perfectly. I just love this restaurant.

    I mean you have some of the items at JD

    The atmosphere for this for this type place is great. The food is excellent service is also very very fast and very good and friendly too. I would definitely recommend this to another another place another location and then I also it's probably one of the better Thai places that I've been to in the greater Knoxville area so I'm gonna give this five stars.

    Sweet and sour tofu
    Kathie S.

    Enjoyed our lunch today we got chicken drunken noodles and sweet and sour tofu. The noodles were very tasty and the right amount of spice for medium, according to my husband. I loved the sweet and sour tofu - the tofu was slightly crispy on the outside and soft/chewy in the inside (chef's kiss). Reminded me of my childhood. BTW, I don't eat meat or seafood and many of their offerings can be made vegetarian/vegan. Looking forward to our next visit!

    Green Curry (With Steamed Rice) (w/the bamboo cut to smaller bite size)
    Renee H.

    still one of my fave local offerings for lunch delivery. the red curry used to be my jam. [but i think it's no longer offered.] ~~ {Please tell me i'm WRONG} so now the green curry is where it's at. and i love eating the bamboo shoots. (even tho my TN'd teeth require some smaller cut pieces than it comes with... kitchen shears FTW.) As for ambiance... it's been several years since i dined in, so i'm not the best judge of that. for me It's usually work lunch delivery. and lasts me TWO lunches!

    Cute family owned local business. True authentic Thai food. Had a specialty curry over rice and tofu. Prepared in a timely manner delivered fresh and hot. Average size for the price. Overall a good experience.

    This restaurant feels like new Japanese, a western twist. We had the crab cakes, which were…read moredelicious with a side of roasted beets and edamame. We also had the drunken noodles and the spicy chicken steamed buns. I will say that the portions feel small for the apps and buns. Entrées are filling. Some of the meat in the drunken noodles were tough, others was nice and soft. Service was good. Ambiance is small and feels quaint, they have a patio outside in the back. 8/10

    You can find Kaizen at 127 S Central Ave Knoxville, TN 37902. This is in Knoxville's revitalized…read moreOld City. There's some street parking but most of it appears to be pay-to-park. There are several nearby lots also pay-to-park but some may be free on weekends. Kaizen appears to me to be more akin to an Izakaya than a noodle hosue, where you basically go for drinks and they supply some food to keep things going - it has a more expansive menu than an Izakaya (which tends to be yakitori and sushi) - Kaizen's menu features several noodle dishes which all looked very interesting. We started with the appetizers and ordered some mixed steamed buns and soup. All of the buns that I tried I liked quite a bit - some strong, distinctive flavors. For an entree I ordered the Koji-Cured Ribeye medium-rare - 12 oz sliced ribeye, gai lan, broad bean paste, steamed rice. The steak was cooked perfectly. The service was exceptional - the next night we tried Fin-Two Japanese Ale House across the street - this restaurant was my preference - the flavors seemed more authentic and the quality of the dishes better in my opinion.
