Choy is a popular restaurant in Nashville, known for its stylish atmosphere and dim lighting. The restaurant offers a modern take on Chinese cuisine, with dishes like the chrysanthemum and peaches, squid ink wontons, and eggplant. The service at Choy is attentive, with servers frequently checking on guests and clearing plates promptly, although some have described it as "uncomfortably hovering."
The restaurant's menu features a variety of "small bites" such as the yellowfin tuna, which was a standout dish for many, as well as the lamb ribs, seared bok choy, squid, shumai, and pig ear terrine. Customers have praised the Mapo Tofu, Whole Sizzled Fish, and Peking duck, describing them as exceptional in terms of flavor and tenderness. The restaurant also offers delicious cocktails, with the Ducks Fly Together cocktail being a particular favorite.
While some diners found the menu interesting but lacking cohesion, others appreciated the unique flavors. The restaurant's music can be quite loud, described as sounding like a club, making conversation challenging. Prices are considered high by some, with items like a simple bread and spread costing $17. Reservations are recommended as the restaurant is popular and can have waits. The bar area provides a space for guests to relax and enjoy a drink while waiting. Valet parking is available for a fee.
