Gave one extra star for the bomb food and insane security measures. Docked the 3 stars though for LOCKING US IN THE BACK PARKING LOT. We parked in the “additional parking” behind the restaurant. Once finished with our food we went out back and chatted in my car for 30 minutes or so. Once we tried to leave we realized however that the gate was locked with a chain and lock. Whoever locked up did not check to see if anyone was still in the parking lot. We were stuck back there for 4 hours (until early in the AM) waiting for police to arrive. We could not climb over the fence and Uber home even if we wanted to because there is BARBED WIRE on top of the fence. Again- food was good, but do NOT recommend the back parking lot if your going in the evening. They take their security very seriously and might even lock you in for safe measures

Wow! I’m hard to please and have a finer plate for more authentic Asian cuisine. This was the first restaurant we visited on our trip in Tennessee and I’m so glad we did. Everything was delicious starting from the Thai Tea with Milk to the Larb App which was so refreshing(leave the chilis out if you don’t like spice) to the chicken satay and fried rice which were so so delicious. After full bellies we were leaving and ran into the owner on the way out who had personally explained the menu to us when we got there. He told my 3 year old he’d be right back and suprised her with a beautiful Thai fan which absolutely made her night. We’ll be back and so will our friends!

Smiling elephant is always a solid pick for me, especially during lunch! Their mango sticky rice is to die for, as well as their signature mung bean noodles. Overall, if you want a solid meal with great attentive service, give smiling elephant a try :

Food is excellent but extremely overpriced. Go to Bangkokville where your Thai lunch will be just as delicious, more reasonably priced and comes with soup and fried spring roll.
