Fantastic little place hidden away toward the back of a strip mall. The sign you see from the road simply says "Thai Food", love it. I tried the Chicken Pad Thai level 5 spicy and the Crispy Spring Rolls. The spring rolls did not disappoint! Super crispy and the dipping sauce was a delicious blend of hot sweet and sour. The Pad Thai was pretty good as well,. It's a dry noodle dish which I love, Saucy Pad Thai isn't right. The flavors were there but the balance wasn't right. Level 5 spicy wasn't spicy enough (yeah, I know this isn't traditionally supposed to be spicy), and there wasn't enough palm or other sugar to offset the sour of the tamarind. I didn't taste ketchup though, so that's a win! The staff is beyond super nice and friendly, you'll want to go back just for them. And well the food too... read more

Hidden Gem! I went to dinner with my Family. Ordered the chicken wings and fried rice. These are possibly the best chicken wings I've ever had in my life. The fried rice was amazing as well. There is actually a secret ingredient on the coating of the wings. Amazing without the sauce. Wish I could give 6 stars. read more

I took a chance on this restaurant solely based on the pictures of the Thai fried wings and it was SUCH a great choice! The wings were crunchy, well seasoned and flavorful! I also got the shrimp pad Thai with medium spice, my family members got the mild Pad Thai and we all enjoyed our food. We ordered ahead for pick up and it was a ghost town on a Saturday evening! Their menu also changed slightly compared to what was here online -- no peanut sauce and no satay. It's such a same how remote this place was because the food was amazing! We will be back for sure. What a hidden gem. read more

We love coming here. Blown away. The only problem is that all other Thai food I've had since Chon Tong leave me saying to myself "that was really good, but it wasn't Chon Tong." Kat always takes such great care of us and recommended the Duck Curry to me a while back and it is my absolute favorite. The best Duck that I've ever had and the curry is truly incredible. As I'm writing this review I'm beginning to ponder on how soon I can get back for another meal! Thank you Chon Tong! read more

This is my first time eating Thai food. I decided to go with something basic so I got chicken fried rice. I loved it! It was served with a made in the kitchen Spring Roll that was great. I've tried them at places PF Chang and hated them. The fried rice was delicious and there was plenty of it. A friend went with me and he ordered some kind of reddish orange soup. He specified medium hot on the spice level. He gave me a little and it was really hot. In fact, he was sweating. It was delicious though. All tolled, I will definitely return to Chon Tong in the future. The service and atmosphere was great and the prices were quite moderate. read more

I tried Chon Tong on a whim while I was sick (it was the only Thai food I could get delivered) and was very pleasantly surprised! I'm very picky about my Thai and this place was quite good. The gyoza was incredible, it had so much flavor and I love that it wasn't deep fried (why do so many places here insist on deep frying gyoza?!). I ordered two curries - Massaman and Paneng. The Massaman was so creamy & delicious but the Paneng was, by far, my favorite! It had SO much flavor and the spice was perfect. I can't wait to try Chon Tong again soon! read more

This is the best restaurant in the greater Nashville area. Three people run the whole place. Natsumi, the server, always remembers us and that we get additional to-go food. Her personality is charming and familial. The owners, Tong and Gay, are arguably the best one-two-punch of culinary genius in the state of Tennessee. The food is simple, traditional Thai with a little southern influence based on Tong's experiences in America. Disclaimer- do not leave without trying the Thai Chicken Wings. Crispy, crunchy, savory, a little sweet- the best chicken wing I've had the pleasure of eating. I eat here once or twice a week and I order at least one order of wings every trip. You'll love them. read more

A friend and I were in the area hiking and worked up an appetite. Both of us being vegetarian we found this place on yelp. The reviews seemed decent, but living in Houston we have some AMAZING Thai places, so I admit I was skeptical. The interior is nothing fancy, a typical hole in the wall kind of place. There was only one lady waiting on the few tables that were occupied. She was very pleasant with us while taking orders. We opted for the papaya salad, tofu green curry with extra veggies and another tofu dish off the menu. Wow was I surprised!! Everything was very fresh, just the right spice and so flavorful! I was really blown away by how good it was. I wouldn't hesitate to come back here for any of the dishes we had! Now that I'm being reminded of how good it was, I wish I was back in the area - I'd go there now! read more

They had been closed for a few days due to really harsh winter weather conditions so I was so happy to see them open this day! Ordered a bit of everything since my stomach could not decide on just one thing as everything on their menu all sounded so appetizing! Ordered the fried appetizer sampler, I was solo dining but this was definitely enough for 2-4 ppl to share. Wasn't in the mood for noodles but ordered a bowl of just the pho broth. The broth was very rich, a tad too salty and a bit too much cinnamon for my taste but it still warmed me right up! For lunch the pork laap salad with a side of sticky rice at a level 5 spicy was just pure perfection. The balance of flavors was spot on and the kick of heat from the spice level really took it to a notch! Also ordered their whole fried fish of the day and it was beautiful crispy on the outside and tender white flesh on the inside. I will for sure be back here to try their other dishes when I'm back down in the Nashville area for work!

I stopped by to order takeout since it's close to my house and I was craving something spicy. I ordered the papaya salad combo with chicken wings and sticky rice. The papaya salad was a level 5 spicy and customized to my liking, with a balance of heat and sweetness. It was delicious, especially compared to their competitor near Stonecrest. The chicken wings were fried to a darker color, likely due to the use of oyster sauce, but they were flavorful and crispy. I'd recommend dining in if you have time--the bathrooms were well-lit and clean. When I arrived around 2 PM, I had missed the lunch rush, so it wasn't busy. If you do eat there, take some time to browse the market while you wait. They have a great selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, household items, and frozen goods like meatballs. Overall, the staff was friendly, and both the store and restaurant were clean.

I really wanted to like this place, but I left disappointed. We ordered the $72 sushi deluxe, and…read moreit just didn't feel like a $72 meal. The sashimi portions were unusually thin and oddly shaped--some pieces looked more like narrow strips than the generous cuts you'd expect. It gave me the impression that the fish was sliced as thinly as possible to create more pieces. The fish tasted okay, but the portion sizes simply didn't justify the price. The presentation was also underwhelming. There was no garnish or attention to detail, making the platter look very basic for what we paid. The piece by the fork for reference, maybe because it's a Friday night, last run? And they just scraped whatever left and gave it to us? We also ordered the pho, and unfortunately it wasn't much to write home about either. The noodles weren't fully cooked. Maybe I should have just ordered the Thai dishes, but if you're going to offer sushi on the menu, it should be held to the same standard. Customers shouldn't have to guess which parts of the menu are worth ordering. Overall, I don't mind paying premium prices for quality food, but I do expect the quality, portions, and presentation to match the price. Unfortunately, this experience didn't deliver. The photos speak for themselves.

Now here's the good part, it's not useless! Unlike 99% of Asian restaurants that give you a choice of 0-5 or 0-10 and regardless of your choice they put no spice whatsoever and I hate it but can't blame them because most Americans vastly overestimate their tolerance but not here! I wish I took a picture but the max spicy level had all these huge like 1/4" flakes of beautiful dried red chilies. No idea where they source them or perhaps grind their own. It was still not spicy per se but you could actually taste the peppers. Very welcome addition and I will continue to get my Chinese-American work lunch fixes at this fantastic establishment.

Each time I come here, food is exceptionally good! The restaurant has been opened for quite some time, but new owners have had it since Feb. 2013. Lunch is always $5.50, stir-fry dishes you get a choice of steamed rice or fried rice and all dishes comes with a fried eggroll. If you have dinner there then you get a great salad before your course with a yummy homemade dressing. Always delish! Prices are very low and doesn't cheat you out on portions either! Vegetables, meat, sauces, ect has always been fresh and everything comes out so perfectly. My favorites are Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mao, Spring Rolls, Lad Nah, Tom Kha Kai, and basically everything. Owners are friendly and are always smiling and servers are always so nice. Definitely my favorite place for some good authentic Thai food! Try the Thai Tea or Thai Coffee, you'll get addicted! read more

As for the market, there is a nice selection of items from Asia or used in Asian dishes. I also found some interesting snack items, including versions of lays potato chips I have never seen in a US based grocery.
