I came to Nan Thai for a date and I really loved all the dishes I tried!! For appetizers, we had the octopus lemongrass salad and toong tong, both of which I found super delicious. The toong tong are crispy dumplings, and they came paired with a sweet chili dipping sauce, and the octopus lemongrass salad was very refreshing, we chose a regular spicy level. I had the Khao Mok Ped duck leg dish, which I strongly recommend, it was very tasty, rich, and filling. The ambience was a nice, dark moody vibe, but with enough lighting to still read the menus. Our server was great, service was quick and she had a great cocktail recommendation for me, a gorgeous hibiscus vodka cocktail! I definitely would come back again, I absolutely loved every dish we had that night, 10/10!!

Enjoyed dinner at Nan Thai in Buckhead. Located in the same complex as the St. Regis and Chops, the restaurant is to the right of the ovation building. They have a patio that was rented out for an event(note to self for future use) and more formal dining inside. We enjoyed the calamari, lobster soup, and chicken potstickers. Yum! They validated valet parking but not the parking lot.

Panna cotta
Aria S.

Came here with my husband a couple weeks ago. This is the old Chai Yo location - restaurant looks the same but menu is slightly different. Elegant atmosphere. I ordered the duck at the recommendation of the server, and it was perfection. I loved combining the duck meat with the fresh cucumber and rice - made for a super tasty and flavorful combination of different textures that I still think about weeks later. I'll definitely go back. My husband ordered a deconstructed green curry with sautéed veggies on the side and a papaya salad. He was very happy with the portions and the flavors. We also had the panna cotta dessert. Everything was fantastic - highly recommend!

Came here for Mother's Day and was impressed by the food! I think this place is still relatively new so it was a bit on the emptier side. The service was great though and everything came out pretty quickly. It was decorated pretty nicely and the vibes were great. There's also parking and valet in the deck nearby

Randomly decided to stop here for a quick bite to eat (and a cocktail or two) and I'm glad I did! The ambiance pulled me in right away. Even though it was still light outside, I loved the dark and intimate mood. And I felt that from the bar, where I sat during my visit. The staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations and attentive service. And the food and drinks were flavorful and a treat for the senses.

WAGYU BEEF CHEEKS
Trinity N.

The service was a bit slow, the restaurant was not very busy, but the food came out after 45 minutes, our martinis and drinks came out after about 30 minutes. The staff were polite and the server was friendly, just wish we got our food sooner. The ambiance is nice, interior is very clean and pretty, and you can get parking validated. The food however was pretty good, the lobster soup was my favorite, and the laarb was good too. The papaya salad was kinda mid. I recommend the beef cheeks and the lobster soup!

Sigh. I was so excited to try this place. It just didn't live up to the expectation. To be fair, I started with the Phuket All cocktail, which was all the hype. It was phenominal. After that, we slowly went downhill food wise. Nothing was bad, just underwhelming. Steamed shrimp and chicken dumplings were good, not great, but good. Lobster coconut soup, same thing. We have had better and were expecting more from a recipe that won on Beat Bobby Flay. Main dishes were disappointing. My pad Thai I just didn't like and my boyfriend's sea bass dish was a little bland. Our waitress was super nice and attentive and even gave me a free slice of cake for my birthday, which I appreciated a lot. Overall, the experience and ambiance of the restaurant was nice, food was just a little lackluster for the buck.

LAMB CHOPS   GEAH YANG
Brittany T.

Nice ambiance, with the flavors to match. So here are my honest ratings of the dishes that I enjoyed. Octopus salad 10/10, flavorful! Tom Kha Lobster Soup 6/10, soup tasted more like mushroom soup but lobster very tender. Chilean Sea Bass 10/10, perfectly cooked and sauce was lovely. Pad Thai 5/10, not great but not bad. noodles were not well separated or tender enough and too much egg. Lamb chops 9/10. great taste and sides to complement.

We had dinings for the dinner for 6 people and the food and water were served after 30 mins we got there. The price of the cocktails weren't on the menu, and its price was different than I expected. I would have been satisfied if we got the table as other customers were staying and the service they provided was quick enough to enjoy our time there.

Basil Rolls
Chris S.

Came by with a reservation for 6 on NYE around 9PM. Make sure you call because their online reservation system doesn't take large parties for some reason. We got the basil rolls to share. It said 6 pieces but it really meant 6 PIECES of one basil roll, rather than 6 basil rolls LOL. Tasted fine but it's pretty much just one (1) cut up Vietnamese spring roll for $10. The Chilean Seabass however was pretty good. The filet was very juicy and tender on a bed of fried rice. It's paired with bok choy and some of this fried stuff (not sure what it was but was crispy and tasty!) all with black pepper sauce. Pretty good service, as well.

Amber G.

I loved this place. I enjoyed the cocktail with basil and coconut milk? The Panama curry with Wagyu was excellent and is worth a trip back. I also enjoyed the sea bass entree - fish was cooked perfectly. I even liked the thai tea crème brûlée! You won't have a bad meal here.

Toong Tong
Patrick T.

Delicious food, great service. The Toong Tong is a highlight. Will definitely be going back.

Michelin Star Little Sparrow is one of those restaurants I look forward to whenever I'm back in…read moreAtlanta. It captures that wonderful Parisian brasserie feeling without trying too hard--the banquettes, heavy drapes, soft lighting, beautiful tableware and attentive service. Everything feels considered. And then there's the food. The menu is small, the prices are not, but they execute what they do exceptionally well. I was tucked into a beautiful banquette and taken care of by Keenan, who was lovely throughout dinner--warm, polished, knowledgeable and attentive without hovering. First things first: do not skip the bread service. The warm levain baguette arrives wrapped in Little Sparrow-branded paper with their gorgeous butter, EVOO and Maldon salt. It sounds simple. It isn't. That butter sitting in fragrant olive oil with those little pops of sea salt, smeared onto hot, crusty bread? Heaven. Sometimes the simplest things tell you everything you need to know about a kitchen. My usual order here is the chicken schnitzel, which I love, but I promised myself I would branch out. I ordered the Cabillaud Frites--cod with tartar sauce--and Little Sparrow's interpretation of fish and chips is anything but ordinary. The cod arrived as beautifully fried little rounds with a deeply golden, crisp exterior and tender, delicate fish inside. Hot, crunchy, moist, perfectly cooked. The house tartar sauce was delicious. And because apparently I needed more decadence, Keenan brought me garlic aioli for the frites. Yes, please. And those frites. Lordy. Crisp, deeply savory and dangerously easy to keep eating long after you've told yourself you're finished. Dip one into that garlic aioli and good luck stopping. I skipped cocktails this time because I was saving precious real estate for dessert. I usually order the chocolate soufflé, although I continue to wish they would rotate the soufflé flavors. Give me Grand Marnier! And at $22, that soufflé is definitely an investment in dessert theater. Instead, I took the coconut cake back to my hotel. Unfortunately, this was the one miss of the evening. It was overwhelmingly sweet and lacked the richness and complexity I expected from a kitchen operating at this level. It tasted surprisingly ordinary compared with everything that preceded it. I'd skip it next time and return to the soufflé. That small disappointment doesn't change how I feel about Little Sparrow. The dining room is beautiful. The service feels polished and gracious. Even the restrooms and little sitting area carry through the aesthetic. There is an attention to detail here that I appreciate--from the china and menus to the lighting and presentation. Little Sparrow isn't inexpensive, but I don't come here looking for inexpensive. I come because they take seemingly familiar French dishes, focus on technique and ingredients, and make them memorable. If you're anywhere near Atlanta's Westside or the Design District--or frankly, even if you're not--make the detour. Make a reservation, settle into a banquette, order the bread, and get some of that food in your face. Life is too short not to eat well. Get out there and find your next meal.

Solid food though could be a bit more adventurous and a true bistro…read more Service: when I ask for a recommendation, don't repeat the entire menu to me. Make recommendations. And when you do make recommendations you avoid the pate bc you don't like pickles. Um. OK. I ordered a glass of Pastis after the meal and it was barely a shot. Come on. It came w waaaaay too much tepid water and I'm glad I stopped the server from pouring bc it would've been as tasty and weak as a postage stamp. Who are these servers?

Everything was DELICIOUS. The scallion bubble pancake came out HOT, like hurt-to-touch HOT. It was crispy and airy. It was served with a side of mild curry sauce. The noodles, lamb, and eggplant came out hot temperature-wise as well, but they were also hot spice-wise, especially the cumin lamb. The spice levels cleared my sinuses, LOL. But though I struggled with the spice, I kept on eating because all of the dishes were delicious and flavorful. The tender lamb was served on little skewers. The dry fried eggplant was super crispy; the pieces were shaped like spicy fries. I liked Grandma's noodles even more. The noodles had that bouncy, chewy, hand-pulled feel and were covered in vinegar & hot chili oil. I appreciated the portions. Despite being an appetizer, Grandma's Noodles came out on a large plate, and for being small plates, the eggplant and lamb were pretty filling. The service was also friendly and attentive. My food came out quick, and the staff constantly kept my glass of water filled. My only annoyance was the $1 charge for the bowl of white rice, but the food and service more than made up for that small, inexpensive annoyance.

Personally I like my tomato soups extra thick and creamy, which isn't how I would describe this one. However if that's not your style, this may be for you. I got it with a multi grain roll and chocolate chip cookie and when the roll was dipped in the soup, it was exceptional. And the cookie tasted nice and fresh. There's a free, private lot for parking, and lots of seating indoors and outdoors. The interior is adorable, drenched in yellows and reds, and the staff is very friendly and happy to give a recommendation. A great lunch option if you're over by Blandtown.

The noodle soup was a major letdown. When it arrived, I couldn't find a single speck of actual meat on the pork belly - it was literally 100% fat. I was in disbelief, I thought the meat fell off into the soup, there wasn't any inside. this was completely inedible, and I had to separate the pork belly on my plate. On top of that, there was absolutely no meat on the bone or any marrow inside the bone. It was literally just a bare bone thrown in with the noodles. Even the egg was overcooked and served whole, instead of being cut in half like it is pictured on the menu. Thankfully I ordered a second dish of protein. The Hainanese chicken was supposed to be the star of the show. While the initial bite with the yellow rice was decent, something felt off as I kept eating. It just didn't taste freshly cooked and lacked a real, natural chicken flavor. When the server asked how everything was, I pointed out the plate of separated fat and explained the issue with the pork belly. They were apologetic but "that's how it is." Overall, it was a very disappointing experience with lot of room for improvement.
