If you can make it for happy hour, I HIGHLY recommend planning your visit around it!!! From 5–6pm (dine-in only, bar seating might be required), they offer an incredible happy hour menu that’s absolutely worth it.

The standout is the Chicken Krapao Nacho — a must-try and only available during that short happy hour window. Once ours arrived and we started digging in, nearly everyone sitting at the bar ordered it too, and every single person raved about it. Also, no one gave up their seats until happy hour ended. If you don’t arrive early, you’ll likely miss out entirely on that one-hour window.

The space itself is small-ish, with limited bar and dining seating, so reservations are definitely a smart move. Sitting at the bar turned out to be part of the fun. Our bartender, Ben, was an absolute delight — funny, personable, and impressively efficient. It was a joy watching him craft their creative Thai-inspired infusion drinks right in front of us.

Happy hour pricing makes the experience even better: flavorful small plates for only $5, plus $5 champagne, bourbon and draft beer. You really can’t beat that.

Beyond happy hour, we also ordered the smoked beef curry, which was outstanding. The beef was incredibly tender and deeply infused with the rich curry flavors — unlike anything we’ve had before.

If we’re ever back in Nashville, this will be one of our first stops.

Not sure how this isn’t a 5/5!! The food quality was great. Didn’t taste like the oily MSG like at some other Thai places. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and gave a great recommendation for the Spicy Lamb Dan Dan Noodles. We loved it and are so happy we tried it. Also got the pad Thai which was delicious. We also didn’t have a reservation and they were still able to seat us at the bar but would recommend a reservation on a Saturday night! Our food came fast so we were able to get in and out which we like!

Went here to use my Chase credit and left in love with the food. All dish was perfectly flavorful and the size was a lot. The restaurant does not look like much but The best Thai restaurant I visited in this Country.

We had expectations for this restaurant. However, it’s very surprising they charge $4 for a small bowl of rice. Overall, the food quality and the service does not match their price.

We ordered pork belly and three taste shrimp. The pork belly comes with rice but shrimp does not, so the waiter brought additional rice and we were unaware of their price.

The pork belly and three taste shrimp are not bad, but they taste similarly (feels like the same sauce), and are super salty. I do not think we will come back to this restaurant.

Made reservations before the Dolly show at Belmont. And wow were we blown away. Host shared great recommendations. We started with the Okra and Lettuce wraps. Both were outstanding! Superb flavors and presentation. And we shared the prawns, khao thom soup, pad Thai and the drunken noodles. All of us said hands down we’d go back! So good, zero pictures of the entrees. This is a must go experience.

International Market was a fantastic Thai place right across the street from the Fisher Center at Belmont. It was a great place to eat before the Dolly show there. We had the Shumai and Thai cornbread to start. They were both excellent. The Thai Tea was very tasty. Taylor was super knowledgeable and helpful with food selections. I had the Hatyai Thai Fried chicken. It was big enough for 2. My wife had the shrimp pad Thai. It had little different, but just as good taste as we’ve had elsewhere. We spiced ourselves. We finished up with the local strawberry cake which top off this fantastic meal. Excellent experience!!!

Great blend of authentic Thai flavors mixed with southern influences like BBQ. I really enjoyed the duck wraps, Chinese broccoli, pad gra prow, and the red curry. The beef on the red curry was a tad dry, but other than that everything was great. Taylor was a wonderful waitress who was a joy to talk to and shared her insights about the food. Very pleased with the experience overall.

The food here was delicious. Duck lo mein, crab fried rice, and the prawn special. A little on the pricier side for the portions and how casual the restaurant is (the main dishes were $30), but the food is seriously tasty. This is the best fried rice I’ve ever tasted. Some other spots try to do crab fried rice and it’s so disappointing. This was full of flavor and SO MUCH CRAB MEAT. The duck in the duck lo mein was so flavorful and had the crispiest bits of duck. The shrimp prawn dish ($18) was good until we realized it was a little too undercooked in some spots for our liking. It was not a big issue as the waiter resolved it for us. Would come back!

I’m glad to see Patti’s legacy continues in Nashville with as much change as Nashville has had. Sometimes it seems Nashville’s soul is lost, but this piece of it is still there in some form and run by her own family. As a scrawny eight year old girl back when kids used to have more autonomy, I used to save up so I could take $1.25 and walk down to International Market when I was experiencing food and/or housing insecurity for an order of broccoli noodles. Patti always let me pay for my food (I wouldn’t have come back if she hadn’t) but I now recognize as an adult that she gave me about 4x the order size when she filled a plate for me. Sometimes she even had sticky rice cake that she would “have to throw out soon” if I didn’t eat it though it always tasted surprisingly fresh. She never mentioned how I looked, that I was alone, or that I may have been a few cents short of the sales tax. She did, however, encourage me to continue on in my education, work hard, and make a life for myself. She continued to do that as I grew, and followed up with me for long as she was there. I now have two advanced degrees, a good marriage, and amazing children. She always gave my oldest child a special treat when I visit d as an adult. You may think this was just a place to get some broccoli noodles for the Belmont students, but you’d be wrong. It’s an authentic part of Nashville’s real history back before it became what it is today. It’s amazing what a little extra broccoli noodles can do if it’s coming from someone who is so much more than a restaurant owner. Thank you, Patti and family.
