    Drunken noodles with chicken - the bomb!
    Julie M.

    There is a lot to love about Thai Samurai in Bellevue which took over the former Lemongrass space. The moment you walk in, the bright open room feels familiar with plenty of booths so you can be seated quickly. The service is fast and extremely attentive, but the food is what really makes this place shine. Everything comes out fresh with a focus on presentation. Our curry arrived in a metal serving dish set over a small gas flame to keep it warm which was such a thoughtful touch. The drunken noodles were spicy, rich and deeply satisfying with those wide flat noodles cooked exactly the way you want them. They also offer brown rice in generous portions which I appreciated. Every dish was full of bold seasoning with just the right amount of red chili heat. They are open late for Bellevue, closing at 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays which makes it a perfect spot to unwind with friends after a long work week. I am so glad Thai Samurai is in the neighborhood. A wonderful addition to the area.

    My favorite Thai in Nashville! I've tried several others and all were bland and disappointing. Disclaimer: I like my Thai food hot. Sweating and nose runningly hot. You have to order it hot to get this result (it's Tennessee .. they don't really do spicy or exotic here) but this is the best I've found by far. I love the Panag curry, dumplings, and all the noodle dishes. I've only had takeout or delivery, both are fast!

    Lunch menu

    The place is nice and clean. Weird blue seating but that's no big deal. The waiter was awesome and sweet. The meal came with soup and salad. It was great ! Then I got the green curry chicken and it was excellent! One of the better ones in town! Happily surprised and it came out very quick. I had a water. The total with too was 21 dollars. Not bad really. I'll go back for sure. The decor is the only reason I can't give it a 5. It felt kind of like a diner. But that don't change the way it tastes in your mouth.

    Salad

    Thai Samurai is fairly basic. I'd never usually choose a place that didn't focus on just one cuisine, though this was fine for lunch. I wanted the pad see ew, but though the menu states Chinese broccoli, pictures show otherwise, along with carrots. That's not pad see ew, so I passed. I went with a bento box, with a tofu vegetable stir fry, tempura, and gyoza. It hit the spot for lunch. Salad was unimpressive, but I liked the miso soup. Service was good. This place isn't fancy but it's not a bad choice when in the area.

    The food was delicious. To the reviews commenting on price--it's on par, if not slightly under, the expected cost for basic Thai food. And this place does have fantastic service as well as ambiance. While they have a large menu, it doesn't feel overwhelming. It was my first time here and the food came out fast. Next time I go, I'm getting hot tea afterwards!

    Massaman Chicken Curry with Rice Noodles

    Still a good spot for Thai food. As inflation has taken its toll, this place has definitely outpaced the rest of the economy. They recently changed their name and have raised their lunch prices by 50+% in the last few years. Not nearly the good deal it used to be, but still good food.

    Lard nar with the gravy I took out
    Anita M.

    After trying lemongrass again, I have completely changed my opinion. I am positive I had just experienced an off day. Now, I can say this is one of my favorite Thai spots. I have tried other Tom Khas and Chicken Larb in and around Nashville and none really compare to this place. They have perfected the flavors and there is a reason this place got a face lift. People love this spot. They serve their food with love and care. The servers here are all very sweet. I personally love and can recommend any of their noodle dishes along with the starters mentioned above. Anytime my friends order sushi they are also happy with their food.

    Tuna sushi
    Cheryl D.

    The service was outstanding! They were attentive and kind. I got the chicken teriyaki and my husband got the dumplings and tuna sushi. The teriyaki was ok. A little bland for my liking but good nonetheless. I have a very festive glass of Ameretto and sprite that was perfect. My husband loved the dumplings and sushi.

    Delicious sushi roll! I can't remember the name, however it was great!
    Lillian K.

    Loved this place! My 1 year old was a bit fussy and the staff was so kind and offered her orange slices right away! The service was quick and food was good. My daughter got California rolls and potstickers- pretty straight forward and good. My husband got Drunken Noodles with Beef and loved it! The portion could feed 2 people easily. I forgot which sushi roll I got, however wanted ti say they are a good portion size for the price. Overall, the Japanese/Thai options are nice to have. I'd come here again to try more dishes.

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

The…read morebase of vegetable broth mixed with coconut milk was creamy yet not heavy (with a blend of yellow and red curry spices, according to the menu -- sadly I am not that well versed in curries!). 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.

    The Tiew Gang Vegan is the best version of a Khao-Soi-like curry noodle dish I've had in years…read more Typically Khao Soi dishes can disappoint from being not full-bodied or temperature hot enough, but Degthai's Tiew Gang Vegan is a complex+balanced, complete curry soup noodle bowl full of uniquely satisfying goodness that is seldom found anywhere. The hardest part about eating at Degthai is beelining to the Tiew Gang Vegan. (BTW, I am not Vegan, yet I LOVE the Tiew Gang Vegan.) They do everything well - the other curries, the standard noodle dishes, the dumplings - and it can be tempting to just go with your regular go-to dish like Pad Thai w/Chicken (BORRRINGG, but they do it well nonetheless.) You've gotta try the Tiew Gang Vegan. It's truly a once-in-a-year of eating out experience finding a dish this incredible. It competes pound-for-pound in the same heavy hitter weight class as the best Pho, Ramen, Jjamppong, or Beef Noodle Soup you've ever had. I've now been to Degthai 10 times, and have gotten the Tiew Gang Vegan the last 5 times in a row.

Now... if only I could remember where I am staying. LOL. Just kidding! I made it. I got so lit in Japanese whiskey flights that I ordered enough food for two people. The "Flight to Tokyo" lived up to its namesake tremendously. That dang whiskey is wicked man. Combined with the beers that go down like water and you may be like me.... Wasted Soup dumplings are so damn cool. It's also either an engineering marvel or some sort of biblical miracle. How is the soup born inside the little dumpling?? So many questions!! I had some here and they were sure tasty!! I also had some killer crispy fried pork belly and some kick ass twice fried Korean wings!! Pork belly had tremendous umami flavors and was sticky sweet and yummy all at once! Loved it! But then came the Star.... I love chicken wings as much as I love life! That my friend, is a whole fucking lot!! I am more full of myself than you could possibly imagine. I loved these particular chicken wings a little more than life. I walked through downtown Nashville alone, on a random weeknight, just to eat these wings because I saw them on Yelp. I had already eaten dinner at Eddie V's earlier in the evening, but these wings called me from more than a mile away... Come eat me, Adam.... Is all I could hear after I saw others pictures of the wings.... Shhhh. Wings. I can't. But you must, said the wings.... I can't, I have no transportation....

We started our night with the Pork Belly Bao Buns, but since they were out of pork belly, we tried the Chinese BBQ Pork instead. I wasn't upset because they were phenomenal. The Soup Dumplings were just as amazing, but the Roti Canai (Malaysian flatbreads with curry sauce) stole the show. The curry was rich with the perfect amount of spice. You're missing out if you skip the appetizers here. For my entrée, I ordered the Hong Kong Wonton Noodle Soup, and all I can say is wow. The broth and tender wontons were the perfect combination. My boyfriend loved his Pad Thai as well, and the only downside was the portion size for the price. I want to give a huge shoutout to our server, Jaylen, for making the experience top-notch. He was incredibly attentive, patient, and offered great recommendations through the night. Hawkers is on my list for date nights, ladies' nights, or a casual evening out (especially for drinks and appetizers!)
