    K Pop Chicken Lunch
    Charissa T.

    We had a lovely time at this restaurant. The food was good, I especially liked the gochujang gnocchi, while my company didn't stop raving about the dumplings. They had interesting combinations, but it all worked well together. Service was fine, but it took a very long time for our food to come out. We might have gotten more but we didn't want to keep waiting. The ambiance and decor was understated but pleasant.

    Cool, dark ambiance and super friendly staff! It's Tapas-style and great recs were given by thee waiter. I got the cucumber dish and crispy tuna rice! Both fantastic! The cucumbers were spicy, sweet, and packed with fresh flavor and the crispy rice was the perfect savory crunch. Left the place, full, but not stuffed and so satisfied. Will definitely be back!

    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.

    This is a great spot! One of my staples for lunch or dinner. It's tucked away in a retail zone, but it's worth checking out. Seating is typically fast and service is friendly. The concept is shareable small plates, so my suggestion is to come hungry with a group of friends to try a little bit of everything. I've nearly tasted the whole menu at this point. Unique standouts include the k pop chicken, crispy spicy tuna rice, arancini and "Capri moon" illuminated cocktails in a bag. But there is something for everybody on the menu.

    Crispy Spicy Tuna Dinner

    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.

    Chicken K-Wings Lunch

    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.

    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.

    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.

My faves were the k pop chicken and cauliflower. Also loved the udon. Will def go back, especially since they have mocktails!

    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!!

    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!

We sat on the shaded porch, enjoyed some wine, and watched the festival crowd pass by. We shared the spinach dip and charcuterie board, which paired nicely with the wine.

It was a relaxed and enjoyable stop, and we would gladly return the next time we're in Franklin.

There's nothing flashy or attention-grabby about JJ's, no pomp or pretension. In a market that seems saturated with conceptually whacky cocktail and wine bars, I find the simplicity of JJ's refreshing. If it's chilly outside, JJ's invites you to tuck in from the cold and enjoy a board game. On temperate evenings, this is just the place to pull up a chair on the patio and enjoy a beveragino while you people-watch downtown Franklin's historic Main Street. And, just to cover all my bases, if it's grotesquely hot (as it so often is in TN), JJ's affords you the opportunity to drown your sweaty sorrows in a classy manner. Whatever the occasion, no matter the weather, you can count on comfort & consistency at JJ's - and that is worth every star!

    Answer has been on my list for happy hour! $6 drinks and snacks! They have a great happy hour with…read moresolid food and drink options. HEADS-UP the happy hour menu is bar-top only, so plan accordingly if you're going specifically for those deals. Limited seating available. Happy Hour & Spice Level I had the happy hour cocktail it was bourbon, lemon and honey. The food was flavorful overall, but I do wish the menu clearly noted which items are spicy. Most of the happy hour dishes seemed to have some kind of chili oil or heat element. That may be great for people who enjoy spice, but it would be helpful to know ahead of time, especially if you're sensitive to heat. For dessert, we always come back for the chocolate panna cotta with graham cracker crumble and burnt marshmallow, which was a nice sweet finish. This one is a must! To put this into next level I recommend adding the pretzel bites instead of graham cracker and a few salted flakes. We also tried the almond butter cornbread with blackberry, but I would avoid it. It was pretty dry and didn't have enough balance. The manager? Said it was a new item they were trying. I think it would be much better with ice cream or a salted caramel sauce to add moisture and richness. It was dry even when I mentioned it they didn't comp it we only had a bite and immediately decided it wasn't worth it. Final Thoughts Overall, Answer is a nice spot with a great happy hour, but clearer spice notes on the menu and a few tweaks to the dessert options would make the experience better. If you are seating by the bar it gets loud I wish the bartender doesn't just throw the drinks/plates so aggressively that it clanks. Also this place gets loud definitely not a lot for sound to absorb.

The hostess greeted us with "if you don't have a reservation, you can have a table for 45 minutes." No where did I see that reservations are required. Luckily 3 spots opened at the bar so we sat there because we were told "you can sit there with no time limit." The bartender serving us made no effort to look anything but annoyed with our presence. We had never been there and had questions but she would just point at the menu. I ordered a Diet Coke, which came in a can, one person with me ordered an old fashioned which was more glass than drink and the other people picked a beer from the list the bartender silently pointed at. This would have been a cool place if at least 1 person working here didn't look like they hated being there. Because of how we had been treated from the start we only ordered 2 appetizers, the dip and the flatbread. The dip was fine but the flatbread was like cat food on burnt toast. Oh and don't bother ordering a tea, I saw them serving bottles of gold peak tea, can't even brew tea. I do not recommend this spot unless you are okay with feeling like a burden and eating subpar food.
