What People Are Saying About International Market & Rstrnt

Citysearch

In Short – Every city has places that only the locals know about. International Market, in business since 1975, represents one of Nashville's little secrets. Both a Thai/Asian grocery store and cafeteria-style restaurant, it makes a great spot for dine-in or takeout. Right next to Belmont University, the eatery feeds many students. There's standard Thai items with a few Americanized items thrown in. Customers can opt for pad thai noodles or plain chicken soup.

Very Friendly and Great Food

by Phosphene

If you're down with the squid, just call ahead or let them know and they'll make it for you special. Squid with bamboo, basil and the curry broth. They can make it pretty hot if you like. I go here once a week and it never gets old. After Salathai closed down, this became my goto place for good thai food. Actually, I'm about to place on order with them now....hold on!

  • Pros: I come here for the Red Curry Squid, it's fantastical

AUTHENTIC

by guynextdoor0308

Having just returned from Thailand less than two weeks before I ate here I can tell you this is the real deal. I fell in love with Thai cooking while there and have been looking for some authentic Thai since I returned.

I had the green curry chicken and it was as close to native Thai as there is. The taste was great and the only letdown was that it wasn't as killer hot as it is over there. No worries. I asked for some fresh Thai chili's and after adding them, hehe, I had to take a few out.

I had a sticky rice cake for dessert which was good, but there was no mango (out of season) which wasn't quite the same as sticky rice; I'd wait to have that again until there's mango.

The staff are all sweet, which is so typical of the Thai culture. They told me next time, just ask for what I want and they'll make it on the spot.

As for some older reviews I just read that were disappointed that food may have been in the steamers too long, I have news for you: that's exactly how it's done in Thailand. The food is prepped in the morning and then offered all day. I ordered right from the steamer tray and found it more than fine.

Why only four stars if I enjoyed it so much? hehe. How can you call a grocery store cafe a "five star restaurant"? I recommend it wholeheartedly, and I'd rather go someplace like the International Market than a five-star restaurant any day.

  • Pros: Great AUTHENTIC Thai food. Great price.
  • Cons: It's in a grocery store.
