    Crab Rangoons
    Danielle V.

    We try crab rangoons everywhere we go. I had to order some when I spotted them on the menu. Not much crab, and otherwise very ordinary rangoons. Nothing exceptional but still tasty.

    Pad Thai and Pad Kra Pao

    Decent Thai food prepared quickly and made to order at Assembly Food Hall. With all of the available hot chicken, pulled pork, and beef brisket, Thai Esane is a nice alternative.

    Panang curry was sooooo yummy!! This is in the 3 story food hall with live music on da roof!! This place was quick and delicious. if you seek Thai in downtown Nashville...this did it

    Red curry

    We love Assembly Food Hall and aim to try a new place every time we come here. Thai Esane was our restaurant for our recent visit and it was a decent meal overall. I got the drunken noodles and I liked the flavor of the meal and the texture of the vegetables, but the chicken was oddly soft and the texture was more akin to tofu. My wife got the red curry and she loved the flavor of it, but the texture of her chicken was also off and she didn't care for it either. Prices were very reasonable and we would come back here again, but would probably not get the chicken next time.

    Thai Esane is pretty good. Although my dish was too spicy for my liking, my husband thoroughly enjoyed his meal and even offered to finish mine as leftovers. The staff was really helpful in guiding us on vegan options to order.

    I visited Thai Esane in Assembly Food Hall on Thursday, March 23, 2023 at 11:30 am. The menu, of course, has only selected options from their main restaurant's menu which encompasses all the popular staple dishes like pad Thai, curries, drunken noodles, and fried rice. There are also fresh rolls, wings, and crab Rangoon available as starters. I had the Esane fried rice with chicken. Thai-style fried rice in general, tend to be more moist than Chinese fried rice. With that in mind, I thought the texture was correct, but the flavor was reminiscent of a Chinese take-out fried rice. Portion was small, as to be expected from Assembly Food Hall. Service was average. The lady who took the order had some attitude and seemed like she didn't want to be there. The food was prepared quickly, as it should since I was the only customer there at the time. If you want to try their full menu, I recommend going to the main restaurant instead.

    Crab Rangoon

    I got the crab Rangoon as an appetizer and it was more cream cheese than crab but still delicious. The chicken pad see was good and served fresh and hot. Not a large amount but still good for $23 at the food hall.

    Malaysian Noodles are just ok.
    Sherri H.

    We had just average service in ordering and food delivery. The Malaysian Noodles were nothing special. It was great to be able to have so many dining options in the food hall so you could enjoy a meal with friends or family and everyone can order what they want. Probably wouldn't return since there are so many other options around at this food hall

    Pad Thai
    Laura A.

    The food court here is incredibly large, but we always come back to the same place for their phenomenal food. This time we ordered pad Thai with chicken and pad see eww with chicken. Delicious!!

    Chicken dumplings - very scrumptious!
    A H.

    This place was insane in my membrane!! Great and quick service with a friendly smile in tow. The restaurant is a little lack luster in decor, but who cares when the food is delightfully delish! I am adding this place to my Nashville favorites!

    Full disclosure: takeout for a large group during our weekly dinner…read more I got the Kra Prao Moo Kai Dao, which is stir fry made with minced pork, holy basil, garlic, and Thai chilis. The Thai fried egg was a nice touch, but I wish it was jammy instead of well done. They have multiple spice levels and I got the hottest, Ass Fire (that's literally the name). The flavors were great, and it had small pockets of spice here and there, but over all, it's a spice level made for the typical alabaster disaster. They have pad Thai, various curries, tofu, dumplings, the typical Thai offerings in the US. Prices range from 8ish dollars to 23ish dollars depending upon the type of dish. Also worth noting, this location is in a food hall type building where you pick your food up from a locker.

    Best Thai food in Nashville!!…read more I love Degthai and have eaten here numerous times, both in person and for takeout. The portions are gigantic and the food is delicious. Service is always friendly and quick. I used to think the mild Pad Kra Pao was pretty spicy, but I think they have decreased the spice levels because now it is extremely manageable. They have chili oil and other spices at the table in case you need to add more spice. Recently, I've been loving the red curry. It is packed full of meat, vegetables, and flavor. It easily feeds me for 2 or even 3 meals They have an outdoor patio in the summer. Not a great view of the road, but it's a nice patio. The inside is cute and Thai-themed.

    My friends and I were craving Thai and wanted to try Thai Phooket on a wimp…read more The service was nice and quick, lots of seating inside and wasn't busy (no wait). Parking is free (must be validated inside the store) once you're seated. When it comes to the food, overall it was pretty good and reasonably priced. Lots to pick from, including Pho in a Thai restaurant. However, not sure if it was missed by our server, but the spice level (we got everything on a level 4 out of 5) was nowhere to be found/noticed. Pretty sure it was not spicy at all, we all added the chili oil which helped tremendously. On the other hand, protein was minimal. The portion was underwhelming and especially the chicken in the curry and shrimp in the fried rice. Lastly, the Thai iced tea felt more "sweet/sugary" rather than being actual tea. My personal rating: 3.8/5

    Stopped by for a Monday lunch. They described their spice system as 1 chili (mild), 3 chili (hot),…read more5 chili (native Thai). We had one dish at a 3 and it wasn't overly spicy, so for us we could have gone 4. We ordered standard items and I thought the food was pretty good. Items were seasoned well, but no stand out dishes. The Sizzling Seafood did not mention surimi on the menu and there is quite a bit of it in there. Massamun Curry wasn't bad, but it had the taste and texture of a yellow curry. They should change the name of this one. Unfortunately, they didn't have the ingredients for a papaya salad, so we went with a cabbage salad. The picture of the cabbage salad on the menu had purple cabbage, the actual dish did not. Large restaurant and good service. We were mistakenly charged for the papaya salad, but they corrected the error after we told them.

The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the tofu was browned to perfection. The grilled broccoli and cauliflower were snappy and contrasted well with the rest of the ingredients. The dish had a spicy yet tolerable kick to it, but I have a very high threshold for spice and heat (I added chili oil to take it up a notch!). Also, the portion size is BIG. I was very hungry so I had no issues finishing most of it, but it could easily be shared between two adults, especially if you order an appetizer or side. I loved the interior decor, which was simple yet eye catching. The mural encompassing the entire space in particular looked really cool. The place was packed, but the friendly staff were hustling to keep the line moving.

We didn't explore the grocery that much but it seemed like it had a nice balance of dry food goods, refrigerated items, and small objects, mostly either for cooking or the occasional gift. It was clean inside and being a grocery store had a good bit of parking outside. The restaurant is on the far right as you enter. We were greeted warmly and told to seat ourselves. Menus were delivered promptly. I ordered a Thai tea to drink. Hubs got the fried shrimp appetizer and we both chose noodles for lunch; he opted for pad see ew and I got drunken noodles. The restaurant was fairly busy but despite the crowdedness it still felt easy to have conversation with each other. Our food came out quickly but had clearly been cooked fresh. The Thai tea was the one thing that didn't hit at all. It had a very intense flavor that I couldn't quite place compared to all the other Thai teas I've had. Could just be this one is more traditional, lol. But it wasn't quite as sweet as I'm used to and it almost had a subtly salty vibe; I wouldn't get it again. That said, the cooked food items were quite good. The breading on the shrimp was incredibly crispy and even I liked them well enough at first; the flavor was light and the texture not rubbery. We did ultimately realize these shrimp had not been deveined, which is not our preference but I understand it's not a requirement to be able to eat them. The noodle dishes really shone, though. Hubs liked his pad see ew and we both thought my drunken noodles were even better. Lots of tender but still-crisp veggies in both. Strong and pleasantly aromatic basil flavor in mine. Large portion sizes. The noodles were cooked well and were pleasantly chewy. Mine was lightly spicy but nothing intense; I wound up adding more chili oil from the small container on the table. Service was a highlight throughout; the women working were very personable, got us to-go boxes, and were attentive to any other needs we had. Lots of menu choices here and fresh food prepared quickly. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area.
