I placed an order from Southern California for a team meeting in Tennessee, and Chloe was very helpful. She suggested great items to accommodate the entire team, and they all raved about it for days! They enjoyed the options, and I am glad that Chloe was able to help me. I can't wait until my visit to TN because Mi Kitchen is on my list! read more

What a wonderful find. It's a pleasant space, some private booths and a couple rows of tables, plus an attractive bar. Though to our amusement we found the table we were seated at, across from the bar, to be very unbalanced, it kept turning in every direction whenever we barely touched it. Love that they take reservations - as soon as word gets out, I suspect this will be popular enough to be pretty much reservation only. Great respect for how they developed the menu - They keep the list of plates small enough to stay focused and ensure that each dish will be perfectly executed, but with enough variety to be fun and interesting on repeated visits. Decent selection of local and Japanese beer, though I really hope they expand to at least one draft Japanese selection (please?). The Capri Moons are brilliant, the wife is now in love with them. They are so much fun, and the two I sampled that she ordered, lychee and watermelon, were very pleasant. The presentation, with the drink pouch and a light, will make anyone smile. We split 6 dishes, including a dessert, which was plenty, especially since they were a combination of light and heavier plates. The dishes were brought out at a nice pace, only a couple on the table at any point, so the table was not overwhelmed, and we could fully enjoy each one. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. We loved almost every dish, and the only one I don't think we'd repeat order, the edamame dumpling, was good, it just wasn't to our personal tastes. We agreed that the k pop chicken and popcorn shrimp were musts - next time we'll start there and continue to try more new dishes. Get a cucumber as well, it's small, really fresh and flavorful. We'll be regulars. read more

Where have I been living, and why have I not been here before. Sampled a few different dishes, and they were all excellent. Super friendly staff as well. We will definitely be back!!!!! read more

Family of 5 (4 who have travelled / stayed in Seoul) enjoyed every dish we ordered which included: 1 popcorn shrimp - yummy lemon-y sauce 1 tuna - love the quinoa coating and the great mustard based sauce 1 octopus (special) - really good / meaty 2 k pop chicken - a favorite - so crunchy 2 cucumber - great w k pop 1 cauliflower veggie the spiciest thing 1 soy garlic k wings - great sauce / crispy 1 fortune udon - enjoyed this 1 truffle dumplings - interesting combination and I'd order again! And both desserts - Caramelato was just the right size, sweet sticky crunch over gelato w a salty finish - yum. Bread pudding was a takeout and enjoyed by the recipient. This was the perfect amount of food for 5 adults. We all agree we will be back. read more

If you want your taste buds to be mind-blown, go here. Everything here (except the broccoli, IMO) was incredible. We went with a group for a dual birthday celebration and got one of almost everything to share. Fantastic! The Tokyo Whiskey Sour was epic. Ask if they have Korean Beef Bourguignon (not on the menu) but may be available when you go and is so worth the try. Staff & Chef (owner) were top notch. The Bread Pudding will make you want to slap yo mama. Ohhh TAKE ME BACK! read more

If Mi Kitchen isn't on your radar, it absolutely needs to be. I can't remember the last time I was so pleasantly satisfied by a meal. We ordered almost every dish, and I can't even really pick a favorite because every dish that came out was so flavorful, unique, and delicious. The staff is also super friendly and awesome! Highly recommend going with a couple of friends and ordering the entire menu. You won't be disappointed. read more

Apologies to my friends who live in Nashville proper, as I'm about to start dragging you all the way to eat in Cool Springs. I've lived in Brentwood since '91 and this is the first time I've thought there was a restaurant unique and tasty enough I can convince my friends to drive 20-30 minutes for an incredible meal. Billed as Korean fusion tapas, plates are small-medium and ideally folks order about 2 dishes a person here. LOTS of seafood options making the pescatarian part of me really happy (also a decent - but not expansive number of veggie only options). My biggest regret is not being able to try more on this first visit. The K Pop chicken was very good - super fresh and great crispy / sweet / just mildly spicy combination. I was thinking I could have done with a bit more kick but then my gochujang gnocchi came out, which had the perfect blend of slightly chewy gnocchi, sauce that was sweet and spicy enough to make my nose run a bit, making the whole dish reminiscent of a Korean favorite (tteokbokki). But it was also just elevated perfection - crispy, fine rice chips on top and a cream/mayo-like sauce to lighten up the spice. Just incredible and a must order dish. For dessert, the only option is a bread pudding but it is also just a perfectly balanced dish - warm, acidic from a Berry compote, creamy sweet ice cream oozing all over it. One of my favorite meals I've had in the greater Nashville area in months. They just opened so coming in at 5:15 on a Friday, there was no wait, but I expect that to change quickly based on how many people I saw coming in and leaving with the same amazing reaction as I did - this place is going to absolutely blow up. Stunning, beautiful and wood-paneled renovation with lots of mood lighting. Lots of easy parking in front and just attentive and wonderful service. Absolutely will be a regular here. read more

Mi Kitchen - Inside the restaurant. - Tapas Bars Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Mi Kitchen is.... Mi new favorite... Every dish was delicious. Every plate deserved 5 stars. I was actually blown away. Cocktails were perfect. Service was courteous, well-timed and never overly insistent OR persistent. We ordered about half the menu and four cocktails and didn't break the bank. Franklin / Brentwood needed this place. Don't let the strip mall exterior fool you. High ceilings and dark wood tones created a cozy yet breathable ambiance. We'll definitely be back. I wish I would have taken photos... next time! read more

Wow. If you want some incredible Asian fusion/tapas deliciousness - do yourself a favor and check this place out. Chef's Special of the day was Crispy Tuna and was a really great little dish. The stars for us, though, were the K Pop Chicken, Steak (with feta grits and cherry tomatoes), and "Gnocchi" (like a traditional Korean tteokbokki). Both perfectly balanced and portioned, cooked perfectly and delivered with graceful explanations of what we were about to dig in to. Definitely a fine dining experience at a more affordable price. DO NOT sleep on this place!!!! read more

Mi Kitchen - Crispy Tuna and Kpop Chicken - Tapas Bars Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

In the age of mass customization in restaurants, there are rare experiences where you sense quality and love of craft. It was evident the first time we walked in for dinner without a reservation. We felt welcomed as we were given an option to sit at the bar or the raised two tops just inside. I first noticed the atmosphere and It was such a refreshing experience at Mi Kitchen, that I knew we would have a good experience from the moment we were seated. I loved the flavors of the food and the tapas style in which it is served. Our server had great menu knowledge and guided us through the experience. I want to explore the menu more, so we will be back. In the future, we will call for a reservation in advance. In conclusion, Mi Kitchen is the coolest restaurant experience in Franklin by a mile. All the others that try to be cool, while they are pretty good, don't hold a candle to this gem of a restaurant. read more

Outstanding, delicious, decadent, superb, amazing....should I say more?!! We shared the k-pop chicken, kimchi bacon risotto, fortune udon noodles and poke tuna..... All of them were my favorite.

We ordered seven dishes and didn't enjoy any of them. Most things are very spicy but all taste similar. Several things made me gag. Something seemed really off with several dishes. We usually love this kind of food. The fried plantain was good but also the same sriracha spice on everything else. We won't be going back. read more

I was really excited to try this place because of the adult capri sun type drinks they had! Unfortunately they were a little too sweet for my taste but if that's the kind of drink you like then definitely give them a try. My favorite thing here was the k pop chicken. It is a must order. A few other highlights were the fortune udon and the crispy spicy tuna. Service was great and the restaurant was very well kept. read more

Tapas is such a great thing to share and order multiple dishes then just a entree!! This place offers so many options like meats, seafoods and veggies. Great ambience, friendly staffs and delicious foods and the signature cocktails are topped off with attentive, knowledgeable service. We ordered so many (will post pics with captions). Every dishes were so good and flavorful, i added more details in the captions. I am shocked that I got to try such a high quality dishes in Nashville. Their creations with ingredients pairing are beyond and above. read more

Food was excellent but portions were very small. Even though it is considered tapas, I think the portions could be a little larger for the price. Cauliflower, Octopus, and Crispy Rice Tuna were excellent. Be aware - by reservation on Saturday evening! read more

The food is amazing! Mi Kitchen has the most intentional and elevated menu with Asian fusion items. Everything was excellent! We had the glass noodles, the cucumber appetizer, the dumplings, the popcorn shrimp, and the taco. We were visiting friends in town, and because Mi Kitchen was so good, we went twice. The servers were excellent, and the presentation of each dish was thoughtful and elegant. We will definitely be back next time we are in Franklin! read more

The vibe was fun and all the food and drinks were delicious. Especially recommend the cucumber and K Pop Chicken. The Udon was outstanding. Will go back read more

Recently ate at Mi Kitchen a third time and I'm going to go ahead and join the majority and say it's an unqualified 5! The lamb was more tender than in past visits, the K-pop chicken was the perfect balance of crispy/juicy, and the spicy tuna was incredible (our first time trying it). The other dishes we had remained excellent. So glad this restaurant is in Franklin! read more

Mi Kitchen - Beef tacos and fried plantain - Tapas Bars Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

A neat fusion of Korean and Tapas with good flavors and offerings. I was with a party of four, so we got to try a number of different dishes. The Korean Fried chicken had a good flavor, being both spicy and sweet (some places use too much vinegar, which thankfully they got right). I also had the edamame dumplings, with the soy beans pureed and almost buttery in flavor. A fellow diner thought they had a hint of sweet, but I couldn't pick out that note. And lastly I found the kimchee shrimp risotto delightful. Service was mediocre and getting drink refills was a challenge. The décor is modern but still comfortable. I was entertained by the retro 90's commercials running on the big screens above the bar. read more

Loved the attention to detail and options, including dietary restrictions. Multiple heat levels too. read more

We love it! All the great reviews are well deserved. The best part of Mi Kitchen is that my 2 young kids, who are picky eaters, love it. My son loves the lamb chops, and they are always perfectly cooked. The k pop chicken is delicious, always crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The crispy rice that comes with the tuna is phenomenal. The prices are also incredibly reasonable. Depending on what we order, we can easily get out of there under $200 with alcohol and tip, usually with leftovers. read more

They have a unique Asian fusion menu and you will be pleasantly surprised on any choice.

Amazing food, atmosphere and service. Highly recommend. Fantastic. Will be back soon.

Delicious food, and very attentive, courteous service. My husband and I like to sit at the bar and eat, and the owner is usually there and she's just lovely. :) read more

This would be my favorite restaurant in Franklin if they didn't squeeze people in like sardines. Amazing food and amazing service, but being uncomfortable the entire night due to having no room makes it not worth going. Very hot inside the restaurant as well. I won't be back until I hear that they have fixed this issue. read more

Best restaurant in Franklin. The food was amazing, didn't have a single thing that wasn't elite. The servers were amazing. They were there when we needed them but not super hovering. The vibe was amazing for such a small place. 10/10 read more

Stop what you're doing and come here now!! Chef Yun is awesome, bringing in the Spanish vibe of tapas to Asian inspired food! We came here on a Wednesday night and it was poppin! This means this place is fire especially of the obscure location aka people coming intentionally to come here :-) My husband and I had their popcorn shrimp (fried with bright flavors! One of our favorites for the night), k pop chicken, steak and crispy rice tuna - ALL the dishes were so great and so thoughtfully crafted! Chef Yun checked on us towards the end of the night, he is so kind and wonderful and had such a personal touch. He definitely didn't have to but we really appreciated it! I think my first time where the chef and owner did that! We have another favorite spot in Franklin! If you're feeling shareables and yummy Asian food- COME HERE!! read more
