The Best Chinese Food in Nashville

"A taste of San Francisco Chinatown has found its way to Nashville by way of Choy, the new Gulch restaurant offering Chinese dishes that can’t be found anywhere else in the city. It’s an extension of chef Brandon Jew’s Michelin-starred California restaurant, led by his former executive sous chef Brian Griffith, that’s centered around the star dish: smoked Peking-style duck, roasted whole and served with house made pancakes, peanut butter hoisin, and duck liver mousse. Elsewhere on the menu, find dishes that subtly include nods to the restaurant’s new Southern roots, like oil-blanched green beans with country ham, salt-baked trout, and whole sizzled Gulf snapper. Creative cocktails and an extensive wine list are more reasons to dine in the chic, Art Deco-inspired dining room that is reminiscent of 20th-century Shanghai." - Ellen Fort, Eater Staff
