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 .

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!!

Food came out fast and plated pretty . We came in on a Monday night at 6 , they had other tables etc but food was out in 5mins .

We had a great time here tonight! All our dishes were so flavorful and the sushi was super fresh. Staff were so friendly and we had a great time!

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.

Pad kee mao - Drunken noodles. Very flavorful
Julina K.

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.

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!

Tuna poke bowl that may take me a moment to finish

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

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.

Red wine rib eye. Yummmm
Barb S.

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.

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!

Pad see eww

Nice location with good vibes. Foods are good as well. Would recommend to all. Mixed of Thai and Japanese cuisines in one place under one roof

Pork in peanut sauce. Excellent!

It's one of those places where everything is packed with flavor and every dish feels a little special. The Mi cucumber is absolutely to die for--especially when you put it on top of the dumplings. Trust me on that combo! The K-Pop chicken is AMAZING and a must-order every time. The arancini has such a flavorful and unique twist that really stands out. The spring roll was delicious too, full of flavor with just the right amount of spice. And the tacos... you cannot skip them. The beef tacos are incredible, and the cauliflower tacos are just as good. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything here. On top of the fantastic food, the service is always great--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Highly recommend!! Be sure to make a reservation!

The concept is shareable small plates, so my suggestion is to come hungry with a group of friends to try a little bit of everything. I've nearly tasted the whole menu at this point. Unique standouts include the k pop chicken, crispy spicy tuna rice, arancini and "Capri moon" illuminated cocktails in a bag. But there is something for everybody on the menu.

We were then told our server had left and we had a new one. Once the rest of our group arrived, we waited another 15 minutes before he finally came over, with no apology, no urgency, and a pretty rude attitude. The food here is always amazing, but the service is consistently terrible every time I visit. What makes it worse is that the restaurant wasn't even busy -- maybe eight tables total, two servers, no bar guests -- yet every table around us looked annoyed and was waiting just as long as we were. Not once did we see any sign of management on the floor. The kitchen does a great job, but the service and lack of management presence really ruin the experience. this will be the last time any of us dine in here. which stinks because we love the one in nashville but this one is much closer.

The service was some of the best we've had: attentive, warm, and so generous. I couldn't decide between the house salad and the miso soup (both sounded amazing), and they kindly surprised me with a house salad topped with their housemade dressing, such a thoughtful touch. The miso soup was stellar, too. We started with the mango crab rangoons (highly recommend), then ordered a mix of rolls: two cooked: the Hotel Cali and Tidal Wave and two vegan: the Eden (a must!) and the Cowgirl. Every single one was delicious. To drink, we loved the China Doll and the Sangria Spritz cocktails. The lighting and overall mood of the restaurant i beautiful, warm, cozy, and perfect for lingering. We'll absolutely be back!

I've been a couple times and each time the bartenders are lacking in friendliness, accuracy, and efficiency. It seems that they pay more attention to the service bar and chatting with each other, it's surprising to me that management doesn't notice the bar is in need of supervision and improvement. I've had to to get my own napkins, chopsticks, and even had a food runner drop off my food to a couple sitting beside me and scurry away before any of us could tell her that she made a mistake ‍. It's possible that the service is better at the tables though, I sit at the bar because I go solo. Still, the food and ambiance are worth a visit, I will be back...the chargrilled edamame is delicious!

I think this one of my first date spots almost 15 years ago, and has now become a reliable spot for dine-in or takeout on nights I'm too lazy to cook but still want comforting, filling food. Almost every time I come in, I'm delighted to see one of my regular servers who remembers my favorite items, makes friendly banter while I order, and overall makes this an incredibly welcoming experience. There's a lot of regulars like me who have been coming here for years for some of their staple favorites: green curry, red curry, fried rice, pad thai cashew chicken, and truly any of the soups are always hits to me. I always get an appetizer as well with my favorites being the chicken spring roll, the fried tofu, and the small wonton soup. Nothing is spicy unless you request it so, and my meal is always about $14-18, even if I order an appetizer; it's truly one of the few remaining inexpensive spots in the area. Even my parents still request to come here, which is wild as they are truly some of the world's pickiest eaters; there is really something for everyone. Sushi is not my favorite here and I wouldn't call this the most authentic Thai food, but that doesn't make it any less delicious. Easy parking in a plentiful lot, thanks to the shopping complex it's located in. Welcoming atmosphere, comforting and delicious food, and the opportunity to support a longstanding local business - it's truly a no brainer to come and eat at Jasmine.
