“I’ve eaten in many of the best restaurants in the world, including luxury cruise lines. Lunch at Locust in the 12 South Nashville was the greatest culinary experiences of my life. The menu, Service, beverages, absolutely everything was a taste bud sensory magnificence. Be patient with the reservation process as they really are always sold out. Don’t be afraid to go on a waitlist if you can’t find your time. You will love Locust.“
“This was my first experience with Korean cuisine. The servers were very helpful in showing how to properly prepare the dishes. I was with my daughter, son-in-law, and my 13 month old granddaughter. All the staff were friendly and welcoming to us all and so attentive to our baby girl. We will go again.“
“Wonderful Ramen spot to have a delicious bowl of noodles. My first time here, I went with my kid (who absolutely loved his bento bowl). I had their spring special that happened to be a broth-less ramen and it was to die for. Mez & cheese was the name of the dish and it really had so much flavor and the noodles were perfectly. I wish I had taken a picture of it but I was way too excited when it came to the table. Also ordered an ice cold Sapporo which was on their HH menu accompanied with some spicy edamame (I could eat this everyday!).“
“Tasty ramen just a couple minutes away from Vanderbilt Hospital and University, definitely a treat! Service was FAST and very helpful. Everything was hot and fresh, and plentiful. Highly recommend the Chinese hot sauce, really pairs well with many dishes!Kid-friendliness: Only one high chair available - arrived with twins, and could only seat one by the table.“
“I always go here for their banh mi and their banh tet thit and banh chung.The banh mi is great! I think it's a perfect size for the price. They're not as big as some other banh mis you might find around (those are more expensive), but I think they're perfect as they are; I like to finish my banh mis in one sitting anyway. They sell them Buy 5 get 1 free at $5 each (2023 prices, may rise with inflation), so for $25+tax you basically get lunch for the entire week. There are a ton of options too. It's my go to when I know I have a busy week coming up and limited time to make food!They also sell a lot of things you can't find anywhere else. Banh tet thit and banh chung being some of those. It's absolutely delicious and everything I was looking for. I'm super glad this place exists in Nashville, otherwise I'd be forced to try to learn how to make these tough dishes all by myself.They keep the place very neat and clean, but the ambiance doesn't really lend itself super well as a dine-in place. I love it as a place to quickly pick up some pre-prepped banh tet thit and banh chung from their fridge, while waiting a few minutes for them to prep your banh mi (they're fast!). I bring those home, store my haul of banh mi in the fridge and when I'm ready, heat it up in the oven until the bread is a little crispy, then stuff in the veggies they sometimes package on the side for you when they know you're not eating all of them right away. I also store the banh tet thit and banh chung in my fridge, then cut it up and heat it in the microwave when I am ready to eat those. Usually all gone within the week!Going here is my dose of happiness, I love this little place!“
“Delicious food. Chill vibe. HIT THE SPOT!! The pad Thai was amazing! Super flavorful; big portion; the lime and bean sprouts were the perfect added touch. The noodles were the perfect texture. Also the tables were very clean which is impressive for a busy, quick service restaurant.“
