    Jeow Bong
    Chom A.

    I have waited over a year to write a review for South-Ahan. Food was phenomenal when they did a soft opening in 2023. The taste, the vibes, and the Jeow Bong they put aside with wings and sticky rice was the only menu that made me come back every week in 2023. It reminded of home and it tasted authentic to me. Then, they were out of Jeow Bong at some point. I went and asked every week over couple months. They said they were busy and shorted staff. They didn't have time to make more. I stopped going there. My husband still ordered carry out here and there for himself in this past year. I went back to dine in couple days ago. They changed the menu and Jeow Bong is no longer a part of wings menu, same as sticky rice. It is a completely different menu called "Sticky wings" served with white rice. Does it taste good? Yes! But it is very Americanized Asian food. I totally understand that the restaurant has to survive and adapt to the area. They can't stay authentic or the community would be like "What kind of food is that? It doesn't taste like other American-Asian restaurants that I have had before." I am sad but completely understand. South-Ahan is still the best asian restaurant in Columbia though. The tables are clean and the service is still great. I am happy that people in Columbia love South-Ahan. They were very busy when I was in the restaurant. Ps. The bright side, they have Jeow Bong in a jar for sale now! Whoop whoop! It tastes exactly the same as last year and it is still the best Jeow Bong version that I like the most. If you can't eat spicy food, please don't even try it. Your mouth will feel like it is on fire and it burns for minutes! That burn is lingering. I have warned you!

    Ask the Community - South-ahan

    Do they have any vegetarian options?

    I would say yes. Any thing they have just ask with no meat. I do think they had some options anyway but any Chinese Thai food place I would say just asked for no meat most of its vegetables anyway, good luck. Hope you enjoy.

But despite that, and my love for pretty much any dumpling, I was not wowed by the flavor of either the dumplings or the dipping sauce. Sesame chicken. Kudos that they use chicken breast, I suppose that's intended to be a sign of quality. But it made the chunks of chicken much dryer. The dish was actually more like orange chicken that they'd sprinkled some sesame seeds on top of. Not necessarily bad, but very different than the many other takeout sesame chicken dishes I've ordered. The beef and broccoli, apparently a favorite, was the most successful of the three. The beef, while a bit chewy, was not overcooked, and made a pretty pleasant bite. The broccoli was plentiful and nicely al dente, and the sauce was flavorful. I don't expect I'll order from W'lin's again. But 4 stars in support of a well loved local business.

    As first timers in Nashville, we were very excited to try Noko from what we've read online and it…read moredid not disappoint! Our reservation was for a Saturday at 5pm which was perfect for us since it was quiet enough for us to converse before the dinner rush at 6pm. We tried 6 dishes + 2 desserts and were stuffed by the end, so I'd recommend getting fewer plates for a party of 2. Our dinner included: hamachi crudo, bluefin tuna crudo, spicy tuna crispy rice, district sandwich, wagyu tartare, and the burnt ends lettuce wraps. The hamachi was a light and refreshing starter and reminded me of a papaya salad at a Thai restaurant. The bluefin crudo was probably the star of the night with the crunchy garlic topping and thick savory sauce! Our server told us that the spicy tuna crispy rice was their best seller and it was amazing; a perfect ratio of fish to rice and the rice was nice and crunchy on all sides. We've had a lot of spicy tuna crispy rices before and this one is up there with one of our favorites back in California! The district sandwich was the perfect girl dinner addition to our table with how creamy the cheese was on the crust-less bread. Wagyu tartare came out as a build your own handroll and by this point, we were stuffed so it was nice to be able to adjust our own rice portions in each bite. Lastly, the burnt ends lettuce wraps were covered in a thick glaze and would have been better if we had more friends to share with. After stuffing ourselves, I somehow found more space to try their brookie and pineapple dole whip. The brookie was a nice twist of your pizookie with the black sesame seeds. Eat this one fast as the vanilla gelato melts really quickly! The dole whip on the other hand was light and refreshing and was really a great way to end the meal. Our server, Eleni, called it the palette cleanser and sure was she right! Overall, we had an amazing experience here and left with happy hearts and full bellies. Thank you Eleni for a wonderful first time at Noko!

Our server (I believe his name was Mitch) was phenomenal! We started off with the guava girlies, anti-hero, tan lines and good times - our favorites were the guava girlies and the anti- hero. The tan lines didn't have a deep enough flavor profile for us. For food, we got the Caesar salad, the green beans, the tuna crispy rice, the hurricane fries, charred scallion noodles, and burnt end lettuce wraps! Every dish was a hit but our favorites were the green beans (we were obsessed with the sauce) and the burnt end lettuce wraps. We also tried the lipstick marks, second hand smoke (sub mezcal with regular tequila), and guava girlies with tequila - all of these were also delicious! Despite being full, we had to try the dessert and tried the brookie with ube ice cream. We were also surprised with a scoop of pandan ice cream. This may be one of the most unique flavor profiles for a brookie I've ever had and it paired beautifully with the ube and pandan gelato! This was truly a fantastic dining experience and we will definitely be back!

Really appreciated how the Hot Chicken was pan seared and kept more of the traditional Korean spices. We did find out that the Spicy Pork Bulgogi is not available anymore , but remains on tee menu as sold out. Service Get there early! Waited in line for a while and also not much seating inside or out. We were lucky to grab one open table outside. You grab a number after ordering and they bring the food to you. Self serve drinks.

    Redemption Tour -- Mostly Successful…read more Full disclosure: I got pretty sick after eating here in 2021 -- my spouse too -- and we swore off the place. To our credit, neither of us left a nasty review at the time; it happens in the restaurant business. But five years of watching them stay busy and still standing convinced me it was probably a one-off, so I gave Soy Bistro another shot. I ordered the Hot Chicken -- pan-seared, chargrilled chicken breast with Korean spices, served with house coleslaw and rice. The restaurant was clean, the service attentive, and a genuine highlight: self-serve beverages with large cups of ice-cold water, which I really appreciated. The coleslaw was crisp with a terrific dressing, and the rice was spot on. The chicken itself was a touch dry and could have really used a dipping sauce to pull it all together. At $15.50 -- closer to $20 after tax and tip, I wasn't wowed by the value on this particular dish. The cheesy skillets were flying out of the kitchen and looked amazing, clearly the crowd favorite for a reason. Next visit I haven't found my dish yet, but I have a pretty good idea where to look.

I will NOT support such a poor move on their part and purchase the salad again, unless they go back to the original size or lower the price a couple of dollars for the amount they served me today! There are similar places around, where I can still pay the same price I used to and get what is actually called a "salad." I refuse to pay for one piece of lettuce, and I question whether it was a whole piece, at that! Plus, they didn't even fill the measly bowl. Wish I could still give a 4 star rating, but quantity has gone down. Some of you may say, it's just a freaking salad. Others that look forward to this being one of their favorite things on the menu, will understand. IYKYK

My personal favorites are the eggrolls. They have a wide selection on the drink menu, but you can order any standard mixed drinks as well. I recommend trying at least one of their signature cocktails, though, because there are some really neat options! The only downside is the limited seating, which can be annoying if they are super busy. If you get a table or a seat at the bar, you'll have an amazing time. Otherwise, you might be standing along the wall waiting for a spot to open up. That's a risk that's probably worth taking, though, given how great the atmosphere will be while you're here!
