14 Top-Notch Thai Restaurants to Try in Nashville

"With the move to Music Row, Esane has a bit more room to stretch its legs — along with its patio space and, more importantly, its bar menu. Walking into the elevated 3,500-square-foot location, diners are greeted with a six-foot-tall golden Buddha, shipped straight to Music City from Thailand. The menu still features favs from the 12 South location (hello, dumplings and papaya salad) along with new dishes from Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. There are also locations in East Nashville, Brentwood, and Assembly Food Hall at Fifth + Broadway." - Clara Wang, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
