Two front door entrance at one door was blocked with lots of plants had to maneuver wheelchair accessible

Supposed to be grilled beef with fried egg rolls served with light fish sauce dressing and noodles were supposed to be thinner, with that being said. Dressing seems like it would be for the egg rolls . The website stated it was wheelchair accessible but the entry has 2 doors and only had 1 door accessible, for our son's power wheelchair to enter the door which their website description is misleading . All the plants from the front entrance to the back of the restroom and I could go on with the PHO soup , that was ordered incorrectly for $20 Would like to just give this place with no star.

Papaya Salad and Lemongrass Beef Skewers

Godness, the food so pricely and it took us 45minutes to wait. Terrible service and the drinks so sweet and bad, $6.75 not worth for the drinks. This place is overprice. Everyone is complaining because it took so long for the food. People are leaving and want to cancel their order.

The chewy gyoza and fresh - aka lettuce - roll.
Denise H.

Wow, I was so disappointed in the food and this place has 4 stars so double downer. My daughter picked this place before we went to the Theatre. We shared Fresh rolls, gyoza, and I chose the Pho Chicken. Pho is in your name so I was so excited (love Pho!) but man.... The broth was so murky and was heavy on anise maybe? Just not the beautiful balance I've come to know. The noodles were not mushy so that was a plus. The gyoza was standard and actually kind of tough, but the sauce I dipped them in was good. The fresh rolls.....mainly lettuce and maybe in their defense it wasn't supposed to be like a summer roll, but there was so much lettuce I don't even remember any rice noodles. On the upside, the server was very nice and attentive. There were plenty of places to sit as well. My experience was really a 2.5 - it was edible but didn't eat anything that would make me want to go back. With a 4 star rating, I must have gone there on a bad day.

My curry came out in this adorable pot!

Vietnamese Iced Coffee: made hot then put ice over (my first sip was warm), and it then got a little watered down. BBQ pork Bao: I was so excited for these because they're my favorite and I have t had any around here, but found them to be a little disappointing. They were good, I love the fluffy bread, but the flavor wasn't super punchy and there was very little meat. Thai Red Curry w/ Vegetables: firstly, it came in the cutest pot ever. It was very good and I'm always happy when I can get a curry with all veggies and no tofu. I got medium heat (she asked if 2 or 3 was okay, and I said 3, but I did not ask for the scale haha) and it was just right, though my nose was already dealing with the cold, so maybe I should have gotten a two. And, the curry itself was very sweet. There was plenty in the serving and there was a bunch of rice. My server was super sweet, too!!!

Inside

I was on the hunt for some food on Easter Sunday and a lot of restaurants were closed for the holiday. I found Yummy Pho Bac and saw their online order menu was still available so I decided to order from them and I'm glad I did! I have now ordered takeout from them twice, and everything I've had has been really good. During my first visit I ordered Pad Kee Mao, which is really good. I also have tried their egg bao due to them being out of their bbq bao. That was surprisingly good as well. I plan on trying their boba tea sometime soon. This place is cute and clean on the inside. I will be back to support this local business!

Papaya salad sampler
Thommy S.

Not a bad spot at all. We came during lunch hours on a weekend, and it wasn't busy at all. We got in right away and there was probably another table or 2 in there when we were there. They have a variety of things on their menu. I started off with the dumpling. It was good. It was my favorite thing here out of everything that I tried. It was pretty meaty, steamed perfectly, and the sauce was good too. The next thing I tried was the pho beef combo. It wasn't bad at all. I also tried their papaya salad sampler. It came with papaya salad, sticky rice, and beef jerky. It wasn't bad at all. The sticky rice just wasn't very sticky. It was a little hard and falling apart. Other than that, no complaints at all. The decor was pretty neat. It was nice and quiet since there weren't that many tables. In all, I didn't have a bad experience.

Pho Beef
Meki A.

I always have great experiences when I order here. The beef was extra chewy this go round. I wasn't able to finish my it. It was a cold day and I was looking forward to this dish. I may just stick to the drunken noodles from here on out.

I picked up Yummy Pho Bac for a takeout dinner last night, and I was IMPRESSED. I ordered online through their website and paid when I picked up the order. It was ready even though I arrived a few minutes before the time I had selected for pickup! (The inside of the restaurant seemed really nice. It's small-ish, but they weren't too busy, so the tables were really spaced out. They had hand sanitizer stations at the entrance and at the bar where you order/pickup takeout.) We started with BBQ Pork Bao (2 pieces), which were great - that sticky, sweet sauce on that pork?! Yum. We also got the milk bao (2 pieces), which seemed to be plain steamed buns (good, but I definitely used them to sop up the yummy sauces). For our entrees, we started with the Red BBQ Pork with rice, which was served with sliced tomato and cucumber and a good sauce. The pork was a little on the dry side, but well flavored and still delicious. We also got the Ca Kho To (Vietnamese Caramelized Fish), which was delicious! The fish was scrumptious - but it had little tiny bones that you had to pick out. The dish was so delicious, I didn't even mind searching for the little bones. For our last entree, we tried the Pha Sexy (a deep-fried fish dish served with a great sauce). You can get the Pha Sexy two ways - as a whole red snapper or a tilapia filet. We ordered the tilapia filet version - which was great, even as a to go dish! They put the fish in its own container and the sauce on the side (so it stayed nice and crispy on the drive home)! Overall, the food was really excellent. I'm already scoping out the menu to see what I want to try next. Overall, very good Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese food. We'll be back soon!

I ordered the jasmine tea and hot sake and the Pho Tai and it was absolutely delicious. I would definitely come back. And the decor is lovely. Beautiful plants and pictures everywhere.

Pho Dac Biet
Darling M.

This is just based on their to-go order, portions are skimpy and laughable. I travel and eat pho takeout alot so I'm okay with paying a premium price if it's worth it. Don't call it a Pho Dac Biet and charge $24 for the bowl if you are going to put close to nothing but noodles in it, order was also missing the rare beef steak that's suppose to be in it and the one meatball cut in half. As a Vietnamese myself this was kinda insulting LOL.

Fixings on the table
Veronica M.

No, nothing special and I would not come back. Chicken appetizer was undercooked and no even "sorry" they just grabbed it and cooked it longer and brought it back to the table. The wonton soup was blah. The soup only had the wontons and broth, a few garnish of cilantro and green onions and the meat had a weird taste to it. I don't like that TN don't add noodles to their wonton. My friend had the Pad Thai and she wasn't too impressed either. Bathroom were clean. Service was blah and slow. Sorry guys but I did not have a good experience. I really hoped this place had a great wonton soup but sad it doesn't.

Pad sa-ew spice level 7 (I love spicy)
Julina K.

I feel like it's hard to find good food in Mt Juliet but I think this is one of my favorites. The menu was pretty big from Thai food to Vietnamese food. I liked the fried shumai. Everyone ordered different dishes and they all liked it. I got the pad sa-ew and the fried duck which I enjoyed. I think everyone's favorite was the desert. We got the custard and sweet mango and rice.

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!

Public Service Announcement -- They aren't closing, but they are moving to Donelson in June 2026. I didn't know until today when we stopped in for lunch. They will be changing the name to Asian Cajun. I will be going to the new spot after they get settled in. That being said I'm going to go ahead and do this review as it's still going to be the same food and owners when they move. This is an Asian/LA seafood fusion restaurant. They serve Thai Apps, Salads, Soups, Wok Fried Noodles, Fried Rice, Stir Fry, Thai Curries, Fresh Shellfish, Sandwiches, weekend Seafood Boils and Boba Teas. They do Catering, also. They also serve some Cajun dishes like Gator Bites, Oysters, Gumbo, Po Boys and more. I will definitely be visiting the new spot in a few months. I think I will review some of the Cajun dishes when I go. Ohhh-- BTW-- They do have a small market selling Frozen Meats and different types of fish like Mahi, Perch, Redfish, Shellfish and Octopus.
