"Taiwanese global mega-chain Chatime quietly opened near Belmont early on in the COVID-19 shutdown — majorly upgrading Nashville’s takeout game with soup dumplings and bubble tea. Sliding into the former home of Levant Mediterranean in Nashville, the brand created in 2003 has grown at a rapid rate, operating more than 1,000 locations in 30 countries, including New York, Boston, and Miami. They specialize in bubble tea here, but the devil miso and tonkotsu ramen are also worth noting — in addition to the fact that they’re one of the only places in the city to find xiao long bao (soup dumplings)." - Delia Jo Ramsey, Kristy Lucero
