Asia Market & Thai Phooket

I’m just reviewing the restaurant not the grocery store. Food was Pretty OK but service was not attentive and kind of overpriced. Pad See Ew was good, I asked for less sauce and less salty. Not enough broccoli and carrots compared to the rest of the food. Like 2-3 pieces of broccoli only for the entire plate. Kind of a severe looking vibe with fluorescent box lighting but maybe that’s part of the charm. Also I did notice that prices have increased versus prior Google Maps photos from recent reviews (for instance I was thinking my dish would be $9.99 but it actually started at $11.99) and I saw $2 price increases across the board too for other dishes. This is January 2026. I can’t blame them but I’m attaching the most recent menu photos and prices for everyone!

I found a new favorite thai restaurant! I love this spot. The service is so friendly, prompt, and the food delicious! The thai style papaya salad is on point! I ordered 4/5 hot level and the flavor matched my preference. This was a more authentic taste than some of the more sweet tom sum I've tasted around town. I loved the sticky rice. It was the perfect consistency, not too dry or too overcooked. I ordered some Pad Thai to go for my husband! I'm sure he'll enjoy it! I went shopping in the market and found several things I needed for my pantry such as fish sauce, spicy chili crisp, and some snacks-seasoned dried seaweed, and shrimp crackers! I found a brand of canned mackerel I hadn't seen since I lived overseas!! Wow. Fun shopping and dining experience.

Had their Beef pho as well as their fried dumplings and spring rolls. Everything was fresh and delicious.

Hate that I didn’t enjoy this because I love Thai food, but the restaurant we normally go to wasnt open so we wanted to try this place. Idk if this is normal, but to me red curry has always been like soupy. This was my order so unsure if this is just how this place does red curry. Also, my husband got the kobiak and that was straight pho broth not normal kobiak broth. Just was hoping to have another restaurant we could love. Will try again, but something different maybe….

I don’t even have a before pic because the food was that good. Every bite was full of flavor—hands down one of the best Thai meals I’ve had! The sushi rolls and pad Thai were very satisfying I’ll definitely be back (and next time I’ll try to take a picture before devouring everything 😅). Highly recommend!

One of our favorite Thai spots! The food is delicious, with authentic Thai flavors at a great price. Service is quick, and the place is never too crowded. They also have a selection of Asian groceries, which makes it super convenient. The Thai tea here is rich and flavorful — definitely a must-try!

Four years ago I asked my daughter to celebrate my birthday with me here. She questioned on the way in are you sure we could eat someplace else. This became her new favorite restaurant for Thai food. We've been back several times, I just visited again and they are still very good. Atmosphere is very nice for being in a grocery. This is also where I buy any of my Asian grocery items, good selection and good prices.

I went just after the lunch rush on a weekday. The service was inviting and prompt. The menu is big, I suggest taking a look online to get an idea of your options so you don't feel overwhelmed. I had the seared tuna steak (#50) with crab delights. The crab delights were bursting with stuffing and the flavor of crab is light and yummy. The seared tuna steak (on the signature dishes menu) was just slightly warm on the outside and lightly cooked with a soft, red center and served with wasabi and ginger. the flavor was light and savory. 10/10 I would order this again and 10/10 I can guarantee I will be going back for the food. Give yourself time to wander through the market, they have a wide selection.

This restaurant is under new ownership and has significantly improved--it's much cleaner, well-organized, and no longer stocks expired food or canned items. I stopped by to order takeout since it's close to my house and I was craving something spicy. I ordered the papaya salad combo with chicken wings and sticky rice. The papaya salad was a level 5 spicy and customized to my liking, with a balance of heat and sweetness. It was delicious, especially compared to their competitor near Stonecrest. The chicken wings were fried to a darker color, likely due to the use of oyster sauce, but they were flavorful and crispy. I'd recommend dining in if you have time--the bathrooms were well-lit and clean. When I arrived around 2 PM, I had missed the lunch rush, so it wasn't busy. If you do eat there, take some time to browse the market while you wait. They have a great selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, household items, and frozen goods like meatballs. Overall, the staff was friendly, and both the store and restaurant were clean.

This is my go to Thai place in town. Never too packed. Service is fast. Food is consistent and always hits the spot. Pad mee mao and pad see ew are what I get practically every time. I've gotten the poke bowls which were good though smaller than other places. Market has a good selection of all the goods you need to do you own cooking as well.

Excellent food and lovely staff. Great to get food and then do some shopping to stock up!

I dined at Thai Phooket on Monday, April 5, 2021 at noon. Unfortunately, this visit will be my last. Although the menu offers most of the typical Thai dishes one would find in any Thai restaurants, it doesn't deliver in quality. The shrimp in my stir fry did not taste fresh. Even the filling inside the wontons of the wonton soup was not flavorful. Other dishes were either average or did not leave a lasting impression in my palate. Service was average. I would skip dining at this establishment and shop at the grocery store. You'll probably be able to cook a better meal using the ingredients you buy at the grocery section than eat here.

This place is a hidden gem, tucked away in the Asian Market. Great selection of choices. The food was very fresh and the service was fast and very friendly. The food was also very flavorful and exceeded my expectations. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

New owner and same atmosphere. So far I had the seafood lardna and it was delicious. Will be back to tried something else in the menu . They also serve sushi .

This was the best tofu pho I've ever had. The broth was amazing. The vegetables were perfect. I will be back.

Located in a small strip mall just off Sam Ridley Pkwy, this is a store selling dry goods, fresh, frozen and canned food from a good number of asian countries. I recognized Thai, Lao, Chinese, Indian and Japanese products. The restaurant, which has a busy lunch period, is slower at dinner which means more attention can be paid to customers like myself. We were promptly seated, asked for drinks, and ordered appetizers before we were able to warm up the seats. Our young hostess jumped up and took care of us upon arrival, and her older sister (I'm guessing this is a family-owned business) took over to take our order and everything after that. The Summer Roll, known as Spring Rolls at most other places, were fresh with shrimp halves strategically spread throughout ($1 extra for shrimp, 2 rolls/4 pieces per order). The peanut dipping sauce was warm and definitely store-made, warm and rich. The Tom Kha soup was served in the traditional hot pot with a small cube of Sterno-like fuel to keep things warm. The soup was rich, with a very strong coconut taste and surprisingly strong lemongrass notes. On the borderline of too much lemongrass for my taste, but just right for my dinner companion. The shrimp were not overdone and were plentiful. I ordered medium spicy but it tasted like there was no spice, so I added some from the container on the table. The Pad Kee Mao was hot and fresh. It tasted good and came with no heat (as ordered). The chicken was sliced thin and cooked fast, so everything tasted fresh and not overcooked. The service was good. We enjoyed our visit and are sure we will return. The groceries seem on the high side of cost but we also found some items that were not commonly available that we would otherwise need to go up to Nashville to get.

This is my favorite Thai restaurant in an area with a lot of options. Flavor and consistency are always the key to a great dining experience.

My all time favorite Thai restaurant. The pad Thai, sesame chicken, veggie tofu soup, egg rolls, tiger tear salad...all of it ALL DELICIOUS. It's always fun walking through the connected market as well as checking out some unique imported food products.

All the food was delicious! Packed very neat and everything I asked for was in the bag. And my food was put on the table I provided. I was most pleased that the bag was left on the table. Thank you .

I used to love coming to this place, but not after today. Bought this and two drinks. I didn't check the date before I left because I haven't had this problem here before. But this expired 3 years ago, and one of the two drinks I bought was already opened and half drank.

My wife and I were passing through the area and found this place. We ordered the Massaman curry and Crab Delight (Crab Rangoon) and they both were amazing! The servings were easily large enough for 2 meals. While waiting for our order on the restaurant side we went over to the market side. They had a very wide variety of produce, meats, and Asian foods. They even had a supply of huy fong sriracha which I have not seen in other stores for months so I was able to restock our pantry. The staff was super friendly as well. Would highly recommend giving them a try.

I requested all veg pho and it was piping hot and satisfying. umami. All the vegetables were fresh and cooked to perfection. It came with an additional plate of raw crisp bean sprouts, sliced jalapeño, basil, and lime. I couldn't resist picking up the bowl and slurping it! My waiter said it was recommended. The green tea was also piping hot, but I forgot about it once my pho came. I had enough leftover to take home for a second meal today: I just made extra ramen to put in it. They have a full menu and a selection of beer. The store is interesting and well-stocked. It's clean and organized çwith fresh produce. The international selections are worth your time to browse, shop, and eat.

I've enjoyed the market but also the restaurant. The wonton soup, sushi and pad Thai was absolutely delish. Can't wait to try more.

Kitchen was a bit slow but the food was worth it. The food was cooked fresh and tasted great. Full of flavor and richness without being expensive at all. You'll spend more on a fast food drive thru than you will here. The market is also stocked with interesting foods and snacks. Worth the trip! We will be going back soon.

*update* We decided to actually dine-in last night. Service was slow, but nice. We ordered Lard Na and seafood salad. Both were less than desired. The noodles were too al dente, the sauce was salty and tasted like oyster sauce. The seafood salad was extremely sweet and needed lime. It didn't taste like yum at all. Portions were average. Love seeing the growth in Southeast Asian restaurants in Middle Tennessee. I've made it my mission to try them all. Thai Phooket has conveniently opened another location down the street from my house so we ordered a few dishes to-go the other night. The fried red snapper - sauce and veggies were good, but by the time we got home, it was soggy already. Better to eat it there. The Chinese broccoli with crispy pork belly - good flavor, hearty portion, but again pork lost its crispiness. Spicy seafood stir-fry was decent. Everything kind of tasted the same. Fried chicken wings was ok. Overall, not bad, and prices was reasonable. Service was good, they gave my husband a free iced coffee for his wait, which wasn't too long. Good to have so many choices of Thai restaurants when I'm having a hankering for Thai and not in the mood to cook.

Groceries store and restaurant in one place. They have the basic asian ingredients for cooking. Their freezer section not very organized but you could find the things you need if you look hard enough. Restaurant dine in or take out available for purchase. I decided to dine in and I ordered some papaya salad with a spicy kick and that was good up to par for my taste. Chicken wings was ok. The lady thought we sat long enough that she brought out a complimentary rolls while we wait on our food. Very polite server I would come back and try other items on the menu.

I came here to check out this new spot for Thai food. I ordered the seafood combination Lad na and my son had beef Pho. It was very bland and no matter how I tried to season it, it was still flavorless. Even my son who loves all kinds of pho couldn't finish his bowl due to lack of flavor. The portion of my seafood Lad na was so small! 13.95 for a few strands of noodles and frozen seafood?!? The service was terrible. There were maybe a handful of tables and we waited for 45 mins for the food and our server forgot someone's order at our table! The market on the other hand is pretty great. Low prices. Lots of variety. They are still stocking up and ordering items. The only complaint I had was that they had kids working the register. Like 10 year olds. If you need to pick up some items or to stock up on some noodles or rice, this is a great place. However, if you want something savory and filling to eat, I would definitely avoid this place.

The food is good and lots of selections to choose from. But the service needs to improve, have lots of younger waiters & waitresses (inexperienced), so you might wait a while for your food or refills. The pho & pad thai is pretty good.

I just got home with my to-go order of fried bananas and spicy mango basil with chicken. The fried bananas were small, but good. However, the young lady taking my order asked on a scale of 1 to 5 how spicy I wanted my dish. I specified a "1" because I cannot tolerate seriously spicy food. I was SO disappointed when my dish was, in fact, too spicy for me to eat. I'm sure that it was prepared just fine; but, what good is that when it's not how I ordered it and I can't eat it? I tried to contact the restaurant; but the only phone number I could find was to the Thai Phooket on Almaville Road, which is not associated with this restaurant. My only other option was to take the food back to the restaurant, which is just not feasible. Very disappointing. I'll be going back to the identically named restaurant on Almaville Rd.

Ordered beef pad thai..and it doesn't look and taste like pad Thai. They just opened but need to step it up. There's big competition out there.

This place was good. Flavor was good. The service was kind of all over the place but I give more stars for the taste of the food. I ordered the lad nah seafood combination and it was confusing with broccoli and Chinese broccoli. It was too much. But overall like I mention before the flavor was really good. Price was a little too high on most items.

very simple restaurant but the food is very fresh and delicious they also have a grocery store where you can find Asian food and goods. Friendly staff.

This is one restaurant I come to for certain foods only. I decided to try something different so I ordered the Pad Thai combination. I noticed they only put scallops in it and no other seafood. This dish was $15, it was ok but it definitely was not worth $15. I will continue to come here but I will not get that particular dish again. Not my favorite. I will just go to Fusion if I have a taste for Pad Thai.

I love this market a lot. I just do not recommend the green curry... it was not good at all. But the service really made up for it! The owner is very very sweet and always willing to help! Plus they have great prices!

My husband and I visited this place when it first opened and dined in. We had a wonderful experience and really enjoyed the chicken fried rice. We have since ordered take out about 10 times since dining in. Unfortunately their fried rice is inconsistent. Sometimes it is flavorful and sometimes the rice is too mushy and bland. I get the Massaman Chicken Curry often and enjoyed it at the beginning but it seems like it gets spicier and spicier even though I ask for no spice at all. I have also witnessed an employee, without washing their hands, grab an unwashed bowl and scoop out rice of their cooker. Unfortunately, after many second chances we have decided to discontinue visiting Thai Phooket.

Everything I try here is absolutely fantastic. My only complaint if there even is one is that the meatball in the beef pho is just weird.

One of the best Thai food restaurants. I always order ahead and just go and pay. I love how spicy it is because lots of places claim they have spicy and it's not as hot as I like. Staff is very friendly and nice.

We LOVE this place! Their restaurant doesn't have anything we don't like. The market has an awesome selection!

Our new Thai lunch stop. Quick, with a large menu and attached market for browsing. I've tried the Pad sew ew and pad kra pao - both were very tasty.

Normally dine in a few times per month at a different location in the same city. This one opened up and is closer to home. The food is spot on and is good quality. Friendly staff and the convenience of having the Asian market in the same facility is a bonus.

Sat down for probably about 10 minutes before deciding to just get up and leave and thanking them for their "service." We literally sat there for ten minutes and they never came to take even our drink orders. Meanwhile a lady walks in, places a to go order and gets her food and leaves as I am typing this review. They weren't even busy. There was one family and another couple who had just got their food and another family that just finished ordering. Ridiculous.

I've been here a few times. I usually don't get too worked up on this. My sister and I had a young girl serve us. As she approached the table to take our order, we found her flipping through her notebook to find a spot to write. Nothing is wrong with that, it happens. Although as she got to a place I started to order and noticed she didn't write it down. Now, that's not a big problem, as a former waitress I don't write things down sometimes, but I knew that she was new. I ordered the pad kee mao with beef, my sister a pad kra pao chicken. She asked how spicy would I like my pad kee mao and I replied medium. About 20-25 mins later, we see her walk out with what looks like our food. She takes it to another table, and we try to flag her down but it took her a min to figure out it was ours. Not a problem, she's just new I say. A young man then brought out what was supposed to be the pad kee mao beef, but was instead a pad see ew chicken. I expressed my concerns that that was not what I ordered. He then took it back and we over heard the young girl say in Laos (mind you my sister and I are Laos and we speak and understand Laos fluently) that I didn't order pad kee mao. So we then wait a little more and the young man then brings out what I thought was my food AGAIN, but it was pad see ew with beef...I express my concerns. Usually I'm not picky and I just shrug it off but I would like to eat what I was paying for. He takes it back and we once again heard the young girl talk about us that we argued with her, that never happened. By this point I just wasn't hungry anymore. Fast forward, the young man brings out my "pad kee mao beef" I put that in quotes because, all they did was add some steamed basil on top of it and gave it to us even when it tasted just like a pad see ew. If you wonder how I know, I worked at a super authentic Thai restaurant for five nears and had everything in their menu. If you wanted to try this place, don't let my review stop you, but don't let the young girl serve you.

Have you ever seen this little market/restaurant on Old Nashville Hwy and thought "oh I want to try that sometime!!" Please save yourself the trip and don't. The market side is good for this area. The restaurant side... let's just say you will be disappointed. The service is on and off. The food is ALWAYS inconsistent. You can order something one day and come back the next night and it'll taste completely different. You're better off at food truck than coming here.

My favorite Thai dish is Chicken Pad Thai. I order it at every Thai restaurant that I dine in. In and out of the U.S. I must say, this restaurant serves one of the best. I even tried a new dish (which I never do) - Pad Woonsen. It was delicious as well! I especially like how nice everyone is at the restaurant- I haven't met anyone that is afraid to smile.

The best wonton soup I've ever had! The crab rangoons are good too, but they've been overcooked the last two times we ordered them, but quickly replaced when we let them know we didn't like them that done. Pricing is good too!

Best Thai in Smyrna. Very authentic at good prices. There's also a market attached to the restaurant that can be fun to walk around and shop.

As I was ordering takeout I watch one of the cooks tasting soup with the ladle and putting it back in the pot . he did it multiple times, that ended our visit order cancelled and we will not be back you just don't sample the food you are cooking and put the utensils back in the food
