Since 2001, this unassuming eatery has been one of Nashville’s favorite Asian restaurants. It is a family-run restaurant of Korean heritage known for its sushi offerings just as much as authentic Korean barbeque. Utilizing charcoal grills inlaid into the dining table, try the bulgogi (also known as “fire meat”), thin cuts of marinated beef. Pair that with a traditional banchan, Korean side dishes like fish cake or spicy cucumber salad. Or, stick to the Japanese side of the menu and order your favorite sushi or sashimi.
Always busy, The Smiling Elephant is known for serving authentic Thai cuisine with bargain-priced promotions. They feature a daily curry schedule with fan favorites like Karee Curry Tuesday and Red Curry Friday. If in the mood for something other than curry, try their signature Pad Thai, which is prefaced on the menu as “not being an Americanized version but prepared traditionally with tamarind sauce and palm sugar.” The Smiling Elephant recognizes the risk of food allergies and dietary restrictions. The chefs can prepare off-menu items if they have adequate ingredients.
Making soup exciting is challenging, but this establishment does it with ease. Hot pot cooking is the name of the game, and guests have a chance to combine their favorite ingredients, like meats, vegetables, and noodles, into a savory broth base and sauce. Their seafood hot pot is the newest menu item and is already popular. Sichuan Hot Pot & Asian Cuisine also offers a range of authentic Chinese dishes. Choose between favorites like beef with broccoli, crab rangoon, chicken lo mein, sweet and sour spare ribs, Szechuan shrimp, and more.
Revolutionizing the independent restaurant scene for the past 19 years, Virago has done so with upscale cuisine. Their sushi chef, Himmi, is known to craft captivating nigirizushi (rice mounds topped with sashimi) and makimono (rolled sushi) masterpieces. Also, the restaurant is home to Music City’s most expansive Japanese whisky and sake offerings. The dining experience at Virago has been voted “Best Sushi Bar/Japanese Restaurant in Nashville'' six times in a row by the Nashville Scene.
Home-cooked Korean meals. Start with the entrees, which the restaurant offers in massive portions. A bowl of bulgogi is great for beginners. Lovers of the vegan diet are in for a treat with the cucumber drizzled in black bean sauce or Jajangmyeon with noodles.

Offering contemporary approaches to classic Asian dishes, this establishment’s menu fuses flavors and techniques for fantastic results. The popular Tuna Truffle Pizza is a standout item that is made with roti prata, black truffle, foie gras aioli, red onion, and truffle vinaigrette. Sunda New Asian is renowned for its award-winning sushi bar and premium list of sakes, Asian beers, and wines. Stop by during happy hour for discounted sushi hand rolls and their two-for-one special on warm sake.
