Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Chinese American flavors meet Tennessee ingredients at this sleek restaurant named one of the 25 best in the city by The New York Times. Inspired by consulting chef Brandon Jew’s SF hotspot Mister Jiu's, Choy dishes up cross-cultural hits like roast duck with peanut butter hoisin and gulf snapper with fermented black beans. Beverage titans Justin Mueller & Abe Vucekovich have created an enviable drinks program spotlighting rare selections that pair perfectly with the food and moody interiors featuring grand emerald leather booths and artwork by acclaimed Nashville artist Ed Nash.

This service is unmatched! The most helpful staff that is so attentive. The food was amazing. We recommend the duck and the flounder. Ask the staff to pair your meal with wine and they do such a great job.

Took them 45 minutes to seat us with a reservation. The food was either over salted or completely tasteless. One of the desserts we ordered was not even edible.

Overall great experience. Everything was delicious. I just wish they had specials as the menu is quite small. Be prepared to spend money as this place is expensive. My only other complaint would be the delivery of food. It didn’t make much sense to us. If you order a “starch,” it’s brought out last which was quite confusing.

This was such a nice surprise! We were skeptical because of the small menu, but it was absolutely delicious! This is upscale shareable chinese, we got the crab fried rice with the mushroom gravy and it was perfect for two people! We didn’t get drinks but they looked really good, the bartenders were super nice and attentive!

We went last night. The service was amazing!! We had special seating requests with one of us in a wheelchair and another needing chairs with no arms. Sometimes restaurants don't look at the details we mention when making a reservation. Choy had the perfect place available when we arrived! By far our favorite item was the crab fried rice. MUST get!

The service was great, as always. The only complaint was some of the food. Specifically, the snapper, very expensive dish for the number of bones. We even had the food runner filet it for us and it was still just full of bones, not really worth the money for that item in my opinion

Everything was outstanding. The duck was the star of the show. Other items that we had would all be recommended. Shumai, pig ear terrine, squid ink wontons, and scallion pancake were all terrific. Ambience and music playlist were enjoyable. Service was provided by Liam and kyle and couldn’t have been better. We will definitely return.

Just WOW. We stopped by for dinner with our two boys after mini golf next door and had a wonderful dining experience, despite having kids with us. The food is absolutely incredible, a bit pricey but well worth it. Our kids loved the sourdough pancake and shrimp fried rice (as did we). The beef and broccoli noodle dish had the best flavor, just wish they included a bit more beef. Staff were all very accommodating to little kids and knowledgeable about the menu. They also have a great sommelier, which always takes a dining experience up a notch. Outstanding food and service. We will be back! (Perhaps next time for a date night!)

Hats are off to Choy! Their attention to detail was unmatched. From the menu, ingredients, plating, drinks, table service, decor, lighting, etc. there was no detail overlooked. The service & experience was equivalent, if not better than, what we’ve had at the nicest steakhouses in town. Yet the menu and entire experience was so much more unique & eclectic than your standard restaurants. Will be back and will send friends here as well!
