Noko's little sister is all about bold flavor. You may recognize some crossover menu items here in a more casual space in a strip mall. Lots of salt and umami await you whether ordering the popcorn shrimp, k-pop chicken, mi cucumbers, or the signature sticky rice with spicy tuna. Best bite of the night was the edamame and truffle dumplings. They are so rich and velvety. The only let down was the cocktails. Not a very balanced taste in the Guava Nova - no tequila flavor - just tasted like juice. We had great service, and the staff is very efficient and friendly.

Mi Kitchen is a true hidden gem tucked away in a small strip mall in Franklin and trust me, it's popular, so reservations are a must. I kicked things off with the Bourbon Peach Smash, which was delicious and fun (bonus points for the two gummy bears floating inside). Now onto the food. Mi Kitchen is known for its modern spin on Korean cuisine, served tapas-style small plates meant for sharing. There were four of us at the table, and everything flowed perfectly. For veggies, we ordered the Cauliflower and the Broccoli Rabe. The broccoli rabe absolutely stole the show. The chojang sauce was incredible packed with flavor and perfectly balanced. A must-have. Next up was the Crispy Spicy Tuna with crispy rice. The tuna paired beautifully with the rice crunchy, spicy, and perfectly executed. Another must-have. Then came the K-Pop Chicken BAM. Wow. So good. Loaded with flavor and coated in a sweet-and-spicy sauce that hits just right. Yet another must-have. We also tried the Gnocchi, which was very good, but the real standout was the shrimp. They were amazing--perfectly cooked, with what I believe were almonds adding a great texture and flavor. Absolutely a must-have. Finally, the Egg Rolls crispy, delicious, and served with an outstanding sauce that tasted like it had pineapple juice in it. Sweet, tangy, and addictive. Beyond the food, the service was excellent very attentive, and the pacing of the dishes was spot-on. The restaurant also has a cool, energetic vibe that makes the whole experience even better. If you live in Franklin, what are you waiting for? Go check out Mi Kitchen you'll be glad you did.

This was my second time visiting and it was tasty overall! Service was attentive, food came out quick, and flavors were well balanced. The caprimoon flavors all sounded amazing but we went with the lychee and it was refreshing.

I was in Nashville earlier in November. My friend took me to Mi Kitchen to pick up some entrées and yummy food from this restaurant. She ordered takeout after our Bible study class. She ordered a variety of dishes for me to try. We had some sorta spicy chicken wings and chicken pieces with a sweet sauce. Both were crunchy and tasty. Then we had a kale salad that was light and flavorful. Service was good. The ordered was not quite ready when we arrived . The restaurant was large with many tables and chairs. There was a full bar and many people were dining in for lunch. I may return if I am in Franklin again. The food overall was good.

Absolutely amazing gem in Franklin. This is a Korean fusion restaurant where you can get a taste of the Korean food mix with other ethic dish. All the food here was great! They serve tapas style so the small plates are great for sharing to sample different plates. K-pop chicken was great but I was impressed by the Kimchi risotto. You get the hint of Kimchi taste and the rice was cooked well to reflect the real risotto. The atmosphere is cozy and nice. Their service is great and love the fact that it's truly owned by Koreans.

Every time I come to Mi Kitchen, I always feel happy inside. After coming in for dinner, I decided to give lunch a whirl! I called for an order for pick up right at 11:30, it was ready within 30 mins! I ordered the K-Pop chicken, Glass Noodles and Mi cucumber! Would recommend the cucumbers and the glass noodles! What a heart warming establishment, this restaurant has won my heart and I already know it will win yours over to!

This place I will have to say I wasn't expecting it to be as good. Also for a tapas place their portion sizes are well sized! The food came out hot and had lots of flavor!! My favors were the k pop chicken and the cucumbers. I could have took some of this cucumbers home!! I think it's the sauce they use for them that just makes everything come together. The tacos!! I never seen any tacos filled that high.. you have to try them! The chicken was crispy and saucey! I didn't need to modify anything here. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely visit again.

Heather Rene A.

Love love love this place, so glad it's by my office! Went with coworkers and we tried so many things and it was al delicious! Check my pics because it was too many to name here. My faves were the k pop chicken and cauliflower. Also loved the udon. Will def go back, especially since they have mocktails!

Julia M.

First time visiting Franklin and our first night in town. A quick search for "best eat near me" brought us to this gem of a place. We arrived without a reservation on a Friday so we had a decent wait for a spot to open up at the bar. Staff was running in high gears all night but we were well taken care of with few delays in-between. Menu is simple - we ordered wok tossed cauliflower, soy-garlic K-wings, glass noodles (japchae), kimchi bacon risotto, bulgogi beef taco, and for dessert, caramelato. We also ordered an adult capri and lychee mocktail. The absolute MVP was the double-fried K-wings which came out hot, oh-so-crispy despite being coated in the delicious sauce. I have had many Korean fried chicken and wings at many places and this is definitely one of the best. The tossed cauliflower was unexpectedly addictive with the citrusy sauce and we loved that flavor from the wok (wok chi) on this dish and the japchae. I normally am not a fan of caramel (yeah odd) but this caramelato is something that you have to save room for, period. If you haven't tried Mi Kitchen, don't scroll past - and make a reservation if you can!

We had another wonderful evening at Mi Kitchen last night when our power went out. The kale salad was a standout for me as I am trying to eat more greens - it perfectly massaged, full of flavor, with golden raisins, crispy quinoa, and shaved parmesan. The Mi Cucumber salad leaned a little heavy on the soy dressing, but still refreshing and one we'd happily order again as a side. We tried the K-pop wings this time and while it had the same great flavor, we'll stick with the K-pop chicken in the future since it's meatier. The glass noodles were the star of the night for us - absolutely phenomenal, the best we've found anywhere, and now a must-order for every visit (along with K-pop chicken). I also tried the Cute-tini, which comes in an adult Capri Sun-style pouch with a light-up bag and curly straw, it was so fun and creative - felt like a mini vacay vibes treating myself! I wasn't sure I'd love the cucumber juice or Korean soju (first time trying), but it surprised me, and I ended up really enjoying it. As we experienced here before and at Kore, the service was excellent attentive, efficient, and welcoming, even though we stopped in closer to closing time than we would normally come (about 35 mins before). We're such fans and excited to keep working our way through the entire menu!!

Ashley U.

Wow the food here is SO good! I absolutely loved every plate we got! Lots of options to choose from and there's a little bit for everybody. Portions are good sizes and easily shareable. The staff was also wonderful and love the ambiance of the restaurant!

One of the most unique dishes the crispy salmon is yummy

Jonathan B.

Food is uniquely flavored without being overpowering. The dishes are varied enough to allow you to munch your way through the Tapas list and apparently dinner is even better! Oh and the service is just as good as the food.

This is one of my favorite spots in Franklin! Mi Kitchen is the sister restaurant to Kore in East Nashville, which I think is one of the most stellar restaurants in east - and that says a lot. Would definitely recommend visiting both. While their menus are super similar, Mi Kitchen boasts a little more accessibility, with easy parking access and a quieter atmosphere. The crispy spicy tuna and K-pop chicken are must-gets, and I could literally drink the sauce that comes on the broccolini. And the steak! Perfectly cooked every time I've ordered it and such a nice offering for a small plate. Pro tip: order a side of white rice! While their bar could certainly use an extra bartender/barback (they're SO busy making drinks and takes a bit to get them out), their bartenders are very good and the drinks are delish and fun. Love the lychee "capri moon." Really can't go wrong with anything here, and the folks are always so nice.

Service was good. Food was ok. Portions were terrible. This is a tapas restaurant. Do not expect large portions. The crunchy tuna was tasty but overpriced. We went as a couple. The crunchy tuna is served with only 3 small rectangular portions of rice to split between two people. How do you split the last piece? $13 for this plate. The K pop chicken looks beautiful but I found the chicken bites to be quite hard and not tender. A bit overcooked. The udon bowl was quite salty topped with iceberg lettuce . The plaintains were actually a delight. There were enough pieces for 2 people and the sriracha goat cheese was a nice tasty surprise. There are some nice versions of Asian food but the portions were definitely priced as full meals, not tapas size. Everything came out very hot which was nice as well but it just didn't satisfy us. read more

Wanted to try somewhere new and google pointed us to Mi Kitchen in Cool Springs. Only open for a few weeks now, I couldn't have better things to say about it. Not only was the food incredibly delicious and perfectly proportioned, but the staff was so helpful and inviting. Our server Skylar was an Angel and helped our indecisive selves make the best choices on the menu, and every dish was described to us as it was placed on the table. Already planning what to order next time we come with more people. Will it be tomorrow? Perhaps..

Dishes listed as spicy - were mild to moderate not overpowering at all. Tapas portions, so tried several and all so unique and well prepared!

This place is brand new and had only been open a couple weeks when we were there. It was late on a rainy Sunday night, so they weren't busy, our server was the assistant manager. She described the menu as Asian-Western fusion. Everything is small plates, tapas style. We tried the steak (wonderful), K-pop chicken (also really good) spicy gnocchi with cauliflower (the sauce is spicy but really tasty), and edamame dumplings which were very good but our least favorite thing we tried. My husband also tried the tuna poke bowl, he said it was terrific, sort of a Korean spin on poke (I don't like fish, I didn't try it). They are still on a limited menu, and waiting on their liquor license, but they will be expanding their menu soon. We'll be back to try it. read more

Online ordering process was simple, not a huge fan of the 7% processing fee, but the prices were fair so I pushed through. Quoted time of 25 minutes was spot on. When I walked in the door, they were walking from behind the curtain with my order. As noted in previous reviews, I always judge a Chinese spot by their wonton soup...and Asian Taste came through with some of the best wonton soup I have had in the area! In addition to the tasty soup, we got sesame chicken with fried rice and an egg roll, and house lo mein. The egg roll was more of a spring roll, but it was fried to perfection and packed with the goods, so again, I let it slide. All the food was hot and delicious, and plentiful. Pricing was not bad, including the fees, tax and a tip, we spent around $32, which is not bad at all! If you are interested in dining in, there are several booths and tables.

If Cheers were a mom-and-pop Thai restaurant (with a side hustle of sushi), it would be Jasmine…read more Located next to the Cool Springs Publix, Jasmine is one of the few long-standing locally owned spots in this highly commercial part of Franklin. I think this one of my first date spots almost 15 years ago, and has now become a reliable spot for dine-in or takeout on nights I'm too lazy to cook but still want comforting, filling food. Almost every time I come in, I'm delighted to see one of my regular servers who remembers my favorite items, makes friendly banter while I order, and overall makes this an incredibly welcoming experience. There's a lot of regulars like me who have been coming here for years for some of their staple favorites: green curry, red curry, fried rice, pad thai cashew chicken, and truly any of the soups are always hits to me. I always get an appetizer as well with my favorites being the chicken spring roll, the fried tofu, and the small wonton soup. Nothing is spicy unless you request it so, and my meal is always about $14-18, even if I order an appetizer; it's truly one of the few remaining inexpensive spots in the area. Even my parents still request to come here, which is wild as they are truly some of the world's pickiest eaters; there is really something for everyone. Sushi is not my favorite here and I wouldn't call this the most authentic Thai food, but that doesn't make it any less delicious. Easy parking in a plentiful lot, thanks to the shopping complex it's located in. Welcoming atmosphere, comforting and delicious food, and the opportunity to support a longstanding local business - it's truly a no brainer to come and eat at Jasmine.

So yum, served with a cup of rice, this was the perfect meal. Nandy loved his cashew nuts curry; and Ari loved the noodles with Tofu. We ordered the basil fried rice, despite making it egg free it did not taste good for us, our waitress was nice enough to remove it from our bill. Fantastic lunch experience. We also had the spicy edamame and vegetable roll, and it was great.

Spicy chicken with noodles - a nice amount of spice but mixed into a very sweet and sticky sauce. Really a bit too much. No veg, just the spicy sticky sweet fred chicken bites, so I'd suggest ordering a veg side if you want to turn this dish into a decent meal. The noodles were overly oily. The pad thai was inedible.

The vibe is super chill calm, relaxed, quiet and just an easy spot to grab dinner without any stress. It's the kind of place where you can actually chill and hear each orher while you eat lol I ordered the General Tso's chicken, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. It's not spicy, so if you like something milder, the sauces was a lot thicker than im used it and definitely wasn't spicy. The chicken is white meat, crispy on the outside, tender inside, and the sauce has great flavor without being overly sweet, could use more red chili flakes but that's my preference. My girlfriend got the chicken and broccoli, and hers came out fresh, hot, and cooked just right. We kept swapping bites and both dishes were really solid. Portions are generous definitely at least 2 portions, the service was friendly, and everything came out fast. Nothing fancy just good food in a laid back atmosphere. We left full and happy

There's a certain charm in its simplicity; nothing flashy, just a quiet confidence in what they do well. The fish is undeniably fresh, with a clean, delicate flavor that stands on its own. Each piece is carefully balanced, the rice seasoned just enough to complement rather than compete. The rolls lean minimalist, avoiding the overloaded, sauce-heavy trend in favor of precision and restraint. Service is warm and attentive without being intrusive. You get the sense that the staff genuinely care about the experience. Prices are fair for the quality, especially considering the level of care in each dish. This isn't a spot for a rushed meal--it's somewhere you go to slow down, appreciate craftsmanship, and enjoy sushi in its purest form. Quietly excellent, and well worth seeking out.

No hacks, no substitutions, no overthinking it, just a quietly elite Southern breakfast move that feels like it deserves its own line on the menu. The foundation is what makes it work. The grits here are genuinely excellent, creamy, well-seasoned, and clearly made with intention. And it's not a small scoop either; the bowl is three side orders of grits. This is not a light breakfast situation. One practical note: they're thick enough that they show up without a spoon. Not a complaint, just a moment of "respect the density." Once you break the yolks, though, everything loosens up into that rich, cohesive, borderline dangerous comfort food zone. What stands out is how unbothered the kitchen is about it. It comes out clean, properly executed, no questions asked, as if this is just a completely normal, correct way to eat breakfast. Bottom line: simple, rooted in Southern tradition, and easily one of the best ways to experience Puckett's grits.

I felt compelled to share my exceptional experience at Mi Kitchen after a delightful lunch with a friend. Without a doubt, Mi Kitchen stands out as one of the best restaurants south of Nashville and, in my opinion, claims the title of the best restaurant in all of Cool Springs. Mi Kitchen was nothing short of a surprisingly great experience. Each dish we tried left us craving for more. To start, this is NOT fine dining--I'd consider this more of a "classy comfort food" vibe. Here are some highlights: Tuna and Crispy Rice: The combination of tuna and crispy rice was simple and delicious. It perfectly embodied what one would expect from such a simple dish. Cauliflower: Even the seemingly humble cauliflower was transformed into a culinary delight. The flavors were bold, almost curry-like--probably the "worst" thing we had and we still cleaned the plate. Korean Fried Chicken: The Korean fried chicken was a crispy delight, showcasing the chef's expertise in creating a really solid balance of texture and flavor. Bulgogi Bowl: The Bulgogi bowl was a savory delight, with the marinated beef stealing the show. The rice was cooked well, which is never a given. Interaction with Staff: The personal touch from the chef, who came out to greet us, added a warm and inviting atmosphere to the dining experience. Special kudos to our server, Skyler, who did a fantastic job despite being the sole front-of-house staff member we encountered. Her positive attitude enhanced our overall enjoyment. Ambiance: Mi Kitchen might be tucked away in a strange little strip mall off Mallory Lane, but its unassuming exterior conceals an interior that exudes charm and authenticity. Conclusion: In conclusion, Mi Kitchen is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered. From the outstanding dishes to the friendly staff, this restaurant has set the bar high for Asian cuisine in Cool Springs. I'll undoubtedly be returning to savor more of Mi Kitchen's bomb a** food. read more

I was traveling from New York when I stumbled upon this restaurant through an online search. To my surprise, the food was absolutely amazing! Every dish had a special sauce that added to the already fantastic taste. Moreover, the staff was extremely friendly and hospitable. I enjoyed the food so much that I can't stop thinking about it. The steak and cauliflower, poke, and cucumber salad were especially delicious! Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the food as I was too busy enjoying it. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience. read more
