Everything was great. The people working were awesome and the food excellent. My wife has been wanting to go here for a while and thankfully we finally did. It was better than anything we have had in a good while and we often visit Nashville to try new places. This was better than any place there we have been lately. Cannot recommend enough.

Spicy pork. I love this.
Steven B.

What a great find just outside Nashville! Get there when they open or you may have to wait. The drive out there is beautiful and the food is really good. I can't wait to go back!

Fried chicken.

Korean bbq in middle Tennessee. We arrived early everyone was super friendly. Appetizers were fantastic. We ordered the short ribs. Eclectic style. Lots of fun.

Hangover soup

I had to update my review because this time I didn't forget to take pics and I dined inside this time. Our sweet potato tempura came out hot, crispy, and delicious. That sauce that's drizzled on top is so good! Talk about umami, yum. My husband's hangover soup had me drooling. Thank God he doesn't mind sharing. He always lets me taste and I make him wait while I take a picture. My kimchi chigae(sp) I wish I could say it was good, but I wouldn't recommend that and I wished I'd ordered the spicy pork bulgogi instead. I don't like my rice getting soggy or even having it served that way. It was way too sweet. And I had to search for meat. The chairs and tables are cramped and you can hear everything your neighbors are saying. My chair was so low my chin was close to the table. I didn't mind and it was funny. You order first and get your own drink. And food is served on styrofoam. The same two ladies were working and they were friendly and helpful both times. It was still good enough that I'll be back to pick up my takeout pork bulgogi.

Fast and friendly service! This was my first time here and the waitress helped recommend our food! It was delicious but very salty. Would definitely recommend if you are in the neighborhood!

This spot is worth the trip outside of the city. We ordered quite a few items to try a little bit of everything and loved it all! The fried chicken was our favorite. There were plenty of tables available to sit at on a Thursday afternoon. Do make sure to check the hours before planning your visit because they are only open Thursday-Saturday

OG Korean Flavored Fried Chicken

Thought I walked into the wrong restaurant initially because the cabin look and wall decor made me think this was a southern restaurant! On a Saturday evening around dinner time, Fat Tiger was super busy. We waited for about 10-15 min to get seated and maybe another 15-20 min for our food, which is super understandable given how packed the place was! We got the fried chicken in the OG Korean flavor. The chicken was super tender and juicy! It also came with a pineapple cole slaw that was a nice light and crunchy complement to the richer chicken. Also got the grilled pork belly, which came with awesome side dishes, rice, and lettuce. Great smokey flavor, worked really well with side dishes and ssamjang sauce. The jjajangmyeong (black bean noodle) was also very flavorful and came with some of the best kimchi we've had in Nashville. Would've like the noodles to be a bit more al dente, but overall great dish. Located in a remote area about 30 min outside of Nashville with hiking nearby. Will be back!

Visited Fat Tiger Korean BBQ in White Bluff, TN. This place serves up authentic Korean cuisine with incredible flavors. You can tell they put a lot of effort into the design of each dish and sauce so they complement each other while filling you up! The owners David & Starrlite are so welcoming and a pleasure to talk to. Our servers Morgan and Jody took our orders, answered questions, made recommendations, and took great care of us. For an appetizer...the Boneless Korean Fried Chicken with the Soy-Garlic-Honey glaze on the fried chicken is amazing...this could be a meal all on its own with some sticky rice. The Bulgogi dish was simple yet so good with thinly sliced beef that was fork tender and flavorful. LOVE the sticky rice here, and if you drizzle a bit of their Fat Tiger Aioli sauce on it, puts this rice over the top! The Bibimbap is huge and the flavors of the pickled/cold items and the warm rice and meats is a delightful mix of flavors and sensations. I even tossed in some of the Korean Fried Chicken...next time I order this dish I will order a side of the fried chicken to add to it. For dessert tried the Deep fried Nutella rolls...tempura fried rolls with Nutella and powdered sugar...they are delicious. Also took an order of the Galbi-jjim (braised short ribs) to go, I wish I had taken two servings. You can literally slide the bone out of the rib with no effort, the meat is that tender. The flavors of the meat, sauce, veggies, and rice reminds you of an old school New England Pot Roast with a slight kick. I'm sure this dish takes a lot of work to create...but in the end the outcome is delicious. Great food, friendly service, in a warm and inviting location makes the drive for such great food well worth it!

Fried chicken with their scratch made sauces. The citron sauce was out of this world.
Cynthia S.

Absolutely cannot say enough good things about this place!! We were welcomed and introduced on the menu. The staff were incredibly nice and loved the feel of the place inside. The menu wasn't intimidating, started to drool once my husband and I began to read it. We got the bulgogi fries, fried chicken with all the sauces and the pork belly. 10/10 this place did not disappoint! Every bit of it was delicious. The sauces are incredible, the rice was perfect down to the side of salad that came with the pork belly plate. The fries were crispy with every bite of bulgogi that just melts in your mouth. Portion sizes are great. They carry some local brews that we love. The bathroom is rad AND they have the best toilet paper of any place we've ever eaten at. The whole place and the people are a gem. We live about 50min from this place and all we could talk about going home was how great it was. I can't tell you how long it's been since I've been this excited about food. Worth the drive and worth the money. This is going to be a staple and will definitely be back!

Authentic, delicious and super friendly! This has become our go to for authentic Korean cuisine. Firstly, it's convenient for us, we like that we can drive down country roads to the restaurant. Second, they are helpful in ordering. The recipes are passed down from the owners grandmother. It's an interesting style of decorating. Country meets Asian . It's clean and pleasant to be there. The tables are clean, the floors are clean, the beverage dispenser is clean. It feels good to eat out and enjoy the space. My husband and I shared our plates. The chicken had so much flavor, we chose the peanut dipping sauce which was perfect in flavor. The pineapple coleslaw is the right side to have. Next time I'm ordering an extra side of that. We can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.

Bulgogi. I had already eaten quite a bit when I remembered to take a picture.

Korean is my favorite cuisine so I'm delighted to have found this restaurant. It has a comfortable…read moreambiance, very clean and open. I had lunch there. I had been seated and given a menu. The website stated they had lunch specials which didn't appear on the menu. I asked about it and the server retrieved the lunch menu which had a number of choices priced at $10.99 each. I had the Soft Tofu soup and chose seafood as my protein. While waiting for my entree they brought to me 4 delicious ban chan dishes - broccoli lightly seasoned with sesame, kim chi, a delicious warm potato dish, and a macaroni salad. There were very generous portions of each. When my entre arrived - a bowl of rice and boiling hot soup I cracked an egg into it so it could cook while I enjoyed the rice and side dishes. I often order this dish at other Korean restaurants, and this was the most flavorful soup I've had, with plenty of tofu and some seafood. There was so much food I had to take some home and had it for dinner. I felt it was a bargain to have 2 meals for $10.99. The menu showed that the restaurant also offers tables with grills so you can have that experience, but it requires minimum of 2 diners, and not part of the lunch menu. I will be returning to the restaurant for lunch and may try the grill option when I'm not dining solo. I recommend this place.

We ordered the bulgogi and prime rib to cook ourselves at the table, which made for an interactive meal. Both were flavorful and cooked up really well. The galbi came which came cooked, was a bit different than expected, and while it was a little fatty and not on the bone, the flavor was still there. The banchan (side dishes) were all good, and I enjoyed the variety they brought to the table. Overall, service was good & attentive and the atmosphere was relaxing and food was decent.

Went with a group of four…read more Ordered BBQ "A" combo which includes beef brisket, pork belly, beef and spicy pork bulgogi, and a bowl of hot stone bibimbap. The BBQ comes with pretty standard banchan (my favorites are the spicy pickled cucumbers and pickled daikon/carrot), 2 bowls of rice, and dipping sauces for each person in our group. The meat combos we ordered were good quality and the spicy bulgogi was so yummy. I will crave this bbq and will need to bring anybody and everybody who will enjoy this family style meal with me. 5 stars. The bibimbap was pretty standard, full of colorful veggies and a good portion of beef on top. I was a little disappointed that the rice never got crispy despite ordering it in a sizzling hot bowl. My favorite part about dolsap bibimbap is the crunch of the almost burnt rice, so if I hadn't been full from the bbq, I might have been slightly sad. I understand that's not how everybody prefers to eat this dish, though. The fun and flavor of the K BBQ as well as the attentive service earns this spot a 5 star in my book and we will be back again.

We wanted to eat Korean in Nashville and this place is one of the few places that open on Sunday…read more The Korean food here in Nashville has more flavors than the previous place we tried at Destin. The server ladies all were so nice here. The beef tofu soup has sufficient amount of beef. The Jajangmyeon was decent. The Tteokbokki does not come with fish cake, decent. The fried Mandu is crispy.
