We'd heard about this place from our friends who have traveled extensively and lived in China as being the best Chinese restaurant in the greater Nashville area. After having lived here for nearly 15 years (and having lived in NYC for 7) I have to agree. The food was wonderful and very different than any other Chinese food I've had in Nashville. It didn't resemble the predictable, over-sauced Americanized Chinese food that can be found everywhere. It isn't high-brow cuisine - just a very nice, lovingly prepared version of Szechuan food. The service was great - our server was exceedingly kind with our daughter who had recently learned a couple of Chinese children's songs, singing a couple of songs along with her. All in all, we loved this place and will look for an excuse to come back.
Good quality ingredients. Well prepared fare. A bit expensive but better than most Chinese restaurants in Nashville.
We have been coming here for many years! We make the 45 minute drive from west Nashville for the best authentic Chinese food in Nashville. The food is amazing and so are the people. We always get the same things and add a different dish to try each time we go. We try to go once a month if we are lucky. We always get the hot pot fish soup, hot pepper chicken, potato threads, and the egg plant. Highly recommend this place!
This place has a been a neighborhood staple serving the Brentwood and Nolensville community since I have live on this side of town. The food is always good and always consistent. The staff is very friendly and quite frankly is hard to enjoy Chinese food anywhere else. They have a huge menu. I recommend you going away from your standard order and try different things.
The service here is excellent and always courageous. The ambiance has never changed in 12 yrs. Same table setup and very low noise levels. Good lighting and a good place to eat and have a conversation. I cannot say enough about how good the food is. Every dish is consistent. The hot and sour soup was as good today as it was when I first ate it 12 years ago. The chengdu beef was excellent as always and the same with the pepper chicken. If it says spicy and you don't specify that you don't want it spicy you need to speak up. Please patronize this family run business I promise you will not be disappointed. It has been 12 years worth of meal here and I have never been sorry once.
I have visited this place twice in a week. That's how good the food is. There are 2 sides of the menu. The main ones is more like an American-Chinese menu like Orange chicken. The second side is the real deal Chinese cuisine. The first visit I came here alone so I only ordered stir-fried eggplant and beef tendon and shank with hot oil. The portions were pretty big. I had a leftovers for 2 other meals. The second visit I brought my husband with me so we could order more food! We ordered roasted pork belly with mustard greens, stir-fried string beans, classic dumplings, stir fried eggplant, and clams with black beans. Wow...everything was delicious. The food here has its natural umami flavor. They are not drenched in sugar and all the sauces. Some people might consider it as "bland" but for us it was delicious! Well, I don't know about the other American-Chinese dishes since I didn't order them. It might be sweet like it always is. Maybe try it yourself :) Overall, the restaurant was clean and the service was excellent.
Farmers with Beef is our family favorite. This is the best quality Asian cafe in the area.
I crave their beef noodle soup. The broth is so tasty and great when the weather starts cooling down. All the food is authentic and the owners are so friendly. It's in a shopping complex so my family avoided for a long time. We regret we didn't find this place sooner. It's now my go to chinese restaurant whenever we are in Brentwood
This is more than your takeout Chinese joint. While they have all the American Chinese classics, their Szechuan menu is tasty and are reasonably priced. They balance nicely between the southern regulars and the Chinese locals looking for something familiar (I don't fit either). Service is efficient and we will be back.
