    Beef Pad Thai
    Elizabeth N.

    This is a small Thai and sushi place in MJ. Our first time being here, we waited a while at the front to be sat. Nice inside, the restaurant is decorated very nicely, a little dark, but overall really nice! The menu is extensive, so many options and different things to try. It took quite a while to get our food, and my husbands food came much later than the rest of our food. My daughter ordered two different sushi rolls and loved them, the presentation was great. I ordered the beef pad thai and it was great! The presentation was well done in a metal bowl and the flavor was awesome! My husband got a beef bento box and the beef was high quality rib eye and cooked perfectly! We will definitely be back to try more things on the menu, just hope the service is a little better next time.

    Veggie Pad Thai
    Brett B.

    This is your consistently great Thai/Japanese restaurant. Be it sushi, pad thai, pad see ew, fried rice, or broth based entrees like ramen and pho. You really can't go wrong. The wait staff are friendly and professional, and keep items moving out of the kitchen. I hope you give them a try

    Spicy Edamame
    Steve K.

    Our gang of 4 enjoyed lunch at Thai Samurai. After many visits of take-out, this lunch was with friends dine-in. Staff was warm, friendly and attentive. Notably clean...as a sushi place should be. Many non-sushi dishes on the menu. Open daily, lunch and dinner. We enjoyed plate of Spicy Edamame and appetizer of Veggie Gyoza (5 pieces) with dipping sauce. Starter was a nicely chilled martini. I counted 12 brewskies on tap...something for everyone. 16 ozs pours. Enjoyed entrees of 12-piece Sashimi served with small ginger dressing house salad and miso soup, and Thai Massaman Curry (with coconut milk, onions, carrots, and potatoes topped with peanuts). Would order both again. Tip: Ask for metal chop sticks to replace the usual wooden) Overall, a delightful lunch and will return.

    Fried rice
    Maggi V.

    Wanted to love it but it fell flat. We ordered take out and the portion sizes were good. But the tom kha soup was mostly coconut and didn't have any depth of flavor. We ordered this as pick up and just generally did not like any of the flavors. We got the orange chicken. The orange sauce was separate which I appreciate because it keeps the food from getting all soggy but it was terrible. Like they failed to cut the acidity at all or it was rancid. It was way too much. The broccoli was done right so I guess there is that. The fried rice all tasted the same. No variety just one mushy of meaty flavor. The egg rolls was the best thing we had from there... Im sad to say everything was kind of disappointing. I'm usually pretty easy to please but... I'd recommend another Thai place tbh

    This place was really good - phenomenal crab fried rice. We had to ask for a waiter after about 10 minutes which was slight frustrating. The atmosphere is really cool, with ample seating. The food was out within minutes and was hot and fresh, obviously fresh ingredients. Definitely will be back!

    Pork Tonkotsu Ramen

    Although my service was fine this is what the restaurant called a pork tonkotsu ramen. Now if you have eyes you can see this is uncooked chicken with boiled eggs I've never been so disappointed in any ramen before. But this was so far left from the pork tonkotsu advertised on there menu and yes I sent it back.

    Curry duck

    The food here was amazing and honestly worth much more than the price. You get a large portion of duck which leaves room for leftovers. We had the satay chicken and calamari appetizers, caramel duck and curry duck dinners.

    Desert Pear Lemon Drop

    Service is nice, but a little slow. Food and drinks are very good and fresh, so it makes up for how long it takes. Did not like the condition of the seats, they were very worn looking.

    Vegetable Roll
    Stephanie T.

    Dec. 28, 2023 Came with the family and honestly, the food came out pretty quick. Great customer services, always checking up on us, and refilling our drinks. Love that! Can't complain about anything and the food was amazing! Definitely a 10/10 recommend. Here is what we ordered: - Agedashi Tofu - Chicken Pad Thai - Fried Rice with Chinese Sausage - Kid's Lo Mein - Volcano Roll, Vegetable Roll, Sweet Potato Roll, and Avocado Roll

    Sushi- This is the Tennessee Roll with some Wasabi and Ginger.  Nice flavor. ( 7.7/10 )
    Mike R.

    I've eaten here quite a few times over the years. It's been consistently very good. I believe they have a few more restaurants in different locations. I have only visited the Mt. Juliet location. They make the Sushi in the front of the house where you can see the chef's prepare it. The interior is fresh and clean. The staff are always friendly and helpful with questions about the menu. You might have questions about the menu because the menu is divided between Thai dishes and Japanese dishes. I recommend that you look at the menu online before you go and kinda get an idea of what you want to eat. The food comes out in a timely manner. I have liked everything I have tried there and it's always fresh and tasty. They have a full bar and there is plenty of free parking. Enjoy !!

    Honestly, the best sushi and Thai in Tennessee. We've been searching for a new spot, and thank gosh we found it. Owner and chefs are incredibly friendly. Service was quick and food was borderline artistic. My delicious roll came with a flower. Fiancée and I are headed back there tonight for a date night. We can't get enough. We Recommend the red curry as well.

    If you walk into a restaurant at 7pm on a Wednesday night and the place is fully packed and there…read moreare people waiting behind you to be sat, you KNOW you made the right decision to go there. We were greeted nicely by the hostess and waited roughly 5 minutes for a table to open up. A family of five came in right after us and decided to sit at the bar to eat. I knew in my heart that this was the best place to go to for my husband's birthday dinner. We sat on some barstools while we waited, discussing the hockey game playing on the tv behind the bar. I loved the low ambient lighting that spread across the ceiling. Our waitress was nice but she never gave us her name so I unfortunately can't shout her out. She gave us recommendations so I ended up taking one of hers. Now, if you have read my Thai restaurant reviews, you know by now that I judge a Thai restaurant by ordering their Pad Thai the first visit, however, I broke that rule because I just KNEW this place was going to be good. We ordered the Tom Kha soup with chicken, Pad Kee Mao with chicken, I ordered the Khao Soi Gai (it comes with chicken, no substitutions), and one Thai iced tea. You guys. When the Tom Kha soup touched my lips, I was SO excited to get the main course! It was made PERFECTLY. I haven't had true Tom Kha since probably when I lived in California over a decade ago. The Thai tea was strong and delicious, exactly how it should be made. The Khao Soi Gai...that first sip of the curry broth nearly made me go Meg Ryan-mode in the restaurant. If you know, you know. "I'll have what she's having!" Our waitress recommended this dish and I'm so glad I was adventurous and tried something different outside of my "I'll judge you based off of your Pad Thai" attitude. It was perfect and when I say perfect, I didn't even add lime juice to it because I didn't want to mess anything up with the flavor profile. Sure, lime could have added another element to the dish but when I say it was perfect the way it was, it's true. The night at Smiley would have ended perfectly if it weren't for the miserable couple who sat beside us discussing how unhappy they were in their marriage and decided to accept the waitstaff into their broken marriage by being completely rude. But the staff remained professional and kind through it all and I give them HUGE props for that because I was a moment away from telling that wretched couple off. In short, the staff here are wonderful, and the food is memorable, delectable, delicious, perfect...it's HEAVEN. We will DEFINITELY be back to try other menu items!

    This place was packed!! Which always says something about the business, means food is good and…read moreservice is good! Which was spot on! We met family there and ate great food! I had the Pad Tai prawns, it was a lot of food but it was so gooooood!!! I couldn't even finish it all, so I took it home, our server was very attentive, the ambiance was good, packed but not loud! Definitely would recommend and we will be back!

Juliet, TN, looks much the same on the outside as many other take away places, but we couldn't be more wrong! This restaurant has, hands down, the BEST Asian cuisine we've had in the metro Nashville area. From portion size, to the thoughtful service, to the freshest dishes undoubtedly made with love- one is left feeling less like a customer and more like family. One thing that my wife and I couldn't wrap our heads around was why in the world all of Nashville isn't packing this place daily? All we could gather is that it is so unassuming that people don't even know what they have in their own backyard. Do yourself a favor; GO! You'll be thanking me later for the tastiest, most home made flavors that are sure to become must-haves. A+, guys! Well done, and we'll see you again very soon!

The staff are very friendly and the interior of the restaurant is descent. There are better options in Mt. Juliet if you want Asian food. I got the #4 Bento Box which is General Tso's Chicken, Chicken on a stick, Egg Roll, California Roll and Fried Rice. The Chicken on a stick was so dry I only ate half of it. I'm really surprised that they served it to me. Everything else was just O.K. My wife got the same Bento Box and her Chicken was dry like mine. I was very disappointed with the food. My granddaughter got Sweet and Sour Shrimp with Noodles and she didn't like the Noodles.
