This was a first time visit and we will be back! Two of us ordered Tom Kha Soup, Satay chicken, Lobster tail pad thai, and Crab fried rice. Entrees were large and we enjoyed them the next day, too. Look forward to trying other dishes, too. Lovely environment. Might be fun to try the outdoor eating one day. read more

Came in for lunch and had a great visit at the sushi bar. The food was good (soup/salad lacked flavor), the place is nice and clean and the service was great! The lunch menu offers great options that are reasonable and will get you quite full. Food: yellowtail sashimi, drunken noodles with beef (comes with soup and salad). read more

Stopped in with friends and food was delicious! We started with Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice, which was delicious. Entrees: Pork Belly Dish, highly recommend and great sauce with it. Red Curry with Shrimp was also really good! Pad See Ewe with Beef was well seasoned! Dishes are a good portion to share! They have a full bar and enjoyed their Lychee Martini which was refreshing and not too sweet! I did have a gripe on our visit! We asked for the spice rack (4 condiment tray) and they brought it. Mid way they picked it up and we were in the middle of our meal. They said another table needed it (there were like 3 floating around). Come on, get more spice racks then - don't take it when it's being used. Service is usually good but this night I would give it a 2.5. None of the wait staff were the people we have had in the past. Otherwise a good meal. read more

It seems that nobody knows this place is here! It's tucked in next to Galleria Mall in the old Red Robin location. The staff are amazing. They know allergies, they explain the heat scale, and they are patient! Bonus points for stocking Coke Zero. As the name suggests, they serve both Thai and Japanese dishes. I went with the rainbow roll as a starter. It was fresh, perfectly presented and they did not skimp on the seafood components. I ordered the Green Curry and it was a large portion. The presentation is really cool. They place the metal container atop a pedestal holding a lit coal to keep constant heat on the dish. If it gets too hot, simply blow out the flame. The vegetables were crisp and the chicken was tender. The sauce was creamy and plentiful. I was thoroughly impressed. read more

This restaurant has it all. From tasty food, service, selection, cleanliness, and location. We met for a business dinner and everything from portion size to the flavors was an absolute yes. I'm just sad, I don't live closer so I can have this more often. As a sidenote, I have never had my Panang curry served to me like the pictures below. read more

Beyond excited Thai Samurai decided to come to Franklin! The decor and vibe is trendy & sexy. A great place for Date Night. My husband & I bellied up to the bar to eat. The bartender ( I think her name is Mia) was super sweet & informative. She walked us through the menu & offered some suggestions and she was very helpful and welcoming. I was boring & ordered the Orange Chicken and it was good. Note:the portions are plentiful. My husband ordered the Signature Basil Pork Belly and it was Outstanding! Highly recommended! I am looking forward to my next visit. Definitely put Thai Samurai on your must do list. You can thank me later . read more

Thai Samurai Cool Springs - Tom Yum and spicy tuna roll - Japanese Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Having been a semi-regular at Thai Samurai, it's sad to say that my dining experience on Sunday, June 22, 2025 at 6:30 pm might possibly be my last. I've reviewed more Thai, Japanese, and Thai-Japanese fusion restaurants than any other cuisines and I very rarely scrutinize the prices on the menu, let alone, for any business in general. But this time, I have to because their prices were somewhat on the high end before they updated their menus. Now, some of the prices on the sushi rolls have gone up from $5 more to twice their original price. For example, California roll is such a basic roll that used to cost $8 now costs $16 is egregious! California rolls are considered basic and shouldn't cost more than $10! It's unfortunate that my favorite salad, chicken larb, was taken off the menu due to its unpopularity. It's a classic Thai salad so taking it off was a shame, especially because they make it pretty authentically. Luckily, the kitchen was able to make it, but it was $3 more than it used to be. The crab fried rice was excellently seasoned and was very flavorful. Pad thai was on point - you can never go wrong with pad Thai here. The tom yum soup could use more tom yum flavors with the lemongrass. The broiled squid needed more broiling. Service was consistent and good. Overall, I'm deeply disappointed they adjusted the menus and the prices even though the quality and service had remained mostly the same. read more

Beautifully redecorated building -- was built to be a different place. (Next to the mall/across from Aveda salon) Staff very attentive, accommodating & gracious. Service excellent. Cute staged picture taking locations in the entrance, and outside. The food was the star. I ordered spring rolls with the fried option. Tasty and large! And Green Curry spice level 2. It was perfect! Btw spice level 2 definitely has some kick! Large and lovely presented portions. We had such a nice time! This will be a go to in Franklin for sure!! read more

Went to Thai Samurai for the first time and the space is beautiful. Parking is easy too. We started off with a roll and an appetizer along with the curry duck and drunken noodles. We really enjoyed our lunch. Our server was very friendly and he took great care of us. We'll definitely be back. read more

Service was prompt and wonderful! Aesthetically a very unique place -- very bold and colorful (loved it). The food was equally delicious -- perfect spiciness and flavorful. The happy hour drinks (sake and marg) were also great value (and flavor)! Would definitely recommend! read more

Pad Kee Mao. And Bottled Singha in a cold glass ! What could be better ? Also know as "drunken noodles" The beef pad came out here was exquisite and I like it very spicy so it's Thai level five for me ! Excellent food and immaculately clean establishment Pay no attention to one star reviews. Those people are obviously addicted to crack cocaine or need to have their head examined. If they are even real people read more

Food Everything was exceptional!! Tried the zombie roll, lobster roll, spring rolls, appetizer sampler, pad Thai, basil duck and any and everything was spot on. The accompanying sauces paired well with the dishes, also. Service From the hostess to our server, very attentive with great conversation. Made us laugh throughout service, boxed and bagged all of our leftovers. Ambiance Plenty of seating inside, out, and at the sushi bar. When we were talking to our server he mentioned that location at The Galleria had only been there 2 months and you could tell by how clean it looked. Enjoyed the fact they had Japanese and Thai options but there were a ton of options. It was a full Japanese menu and a full Thai menu. There was also a happy hour menu. Great place where everyone will be able to find something they'll enjoy. read more

Been meaning to try it for a while now. Finally made it last night, and it was really good. I'm not a sushi person, but got the jalapeño chicken, chicken satay, and edamame. All great quality, and great service. Definitely be back. read more

My service was great. The food wasn't great at all and it had me on the toilet later that night! I will not be back!

Nice looking interior and great service; large menu that I eventually narrowed down to a tuna poke bowl which was so tasty and beautiful! read more

The restaurant has nice decor. Everyone was friendly and the service was good. The fresh room was ok, I won't order it again. I got the Tonkatsu Ranen. Or was a large dish, and I could have easily shared it. It had a great flavor, however, there was only 1 small piece of pork. TONS of ramen. More pieces of pork and maybe, some veggies would have made this dish much better. My hubby got Basil Fried Rice, and said it was "the usual". For a restaurant to spend as much time on the decor, it would be wonderful if they spent that kind of time on the food. read more

The space is really great. Tables, seats. It feels big and small at the same time. Nice place for a date night, funky place for the restaurant to sit. Especially for the money that you would be spending. However I did enjoy the food. The crispy rice was great. The crying tiger was also very good. I went back a second time and the crying Tiger was a bit different and more fatty. I get it. Things change. Service was great. read more

Great food and exceptional service when sitting at the bar. Try the hamachi Kama, it's a fantastic appetizer.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! I'm a Thai/sushi enthusiast & have eaten this cuisine in many cities in the US and this is one of the best. The chicken, lettuce wrapped appetizer is fantastic - get extra sauce. The red wine ribeye is just melt in your mouth & sauce also yummmmy. All the regular sushi is good as expected but the meals are BEST! We are addicted to this place. read more

Always thrilled to have another Asian fushion spot! When we saw this come up we made it a priority to visit and we're very pleased with our experience. The entrance sets the vibe with cute decor. We ordered & split the chicken teriyaki bento box with a california roll & the tennessee roll to split. The teriyaki chicken was flavored well but the quality of the chicken didn't hit for us. The TN roll was fire and we would def order it again! Random - the gold metal dishes are pretty but not that practical - painful on sensitive ears or those with easily triggers by the sounds. All in all, will return and try more! read more

The best Pad Thai in nashville!! It's not easy to find this spot but it's very convenient as a go-to once you stumble upon it

The first time we went here it was wonderful so we went back tonight. I should know better than order a cheeseburger at a place like this but I sure did not expect to have a shrimp shell in my burger. Fries were cooked on outside and raw inside, cheese was ice cold. This was disgusting and servers did not make any effort to make it right. We won't go back. read more

Food was the worst Thai I've eaten in Tennessee. Basil Chicken stirfry was ground chicken(?) that was a greasy mess with small bits of vegetables. The satay chicken was hard and cold and difficult to chew with peanut paste that was cold. Spring rolls were average with average sauce. Small bowl of white rice for two. Ask for more rice and was charged $3. Total was $52 dollars before tip for two people. Uncomfortable table and chairs added to the bad experience. Can't believe this type of restaurant is in Franklin TN. Visit 1/1/26 read more

I love Thai food! I was so excited to try this new spot out. But it was terrible. The food was lacking favor. The presentation of the restaurant was beautiful but the food, omg was missing the favor. My friend tried soy sauce noodles and I tried the pad Thai. Both were horrible!! When the gentleman finally came back. He asked if I didn't like my food. I was honest and said no, I didn't. He didn't offer to have me try something else. Just gave me the check. read more
