Far East Nashville

Not a sit down restaurant. It’s a to go pick up place with multiple restaurants in one location. Food was cold when I got it back to my hotel. Vegan pho was fair at best noodles were in 1 piece at the bottom of the bowl.

The vegan pho is really bad. The broth tastes like corn syrup and the noodles are thick and stick to each other and made for pad Thai and not a soup. Other than that it’s just some raw onion carrots and broccoli. Really not tasty I had to throw it out. Not a good place for vegetarians . My husband said his meat dish was good though so maybe for meat eaters it’s a good place.

What an awesome restaurant!! I have been here twice. The first time was a great experience. The food is amazing!! The BBQ chicken with Steamed rice was absolutely fabulous. The atmosphere was not the same the second time we came. I think the owners should make sure to greet the guests and make them feel more welcome. That would be my only suggestion. Be more love. To the restaurant, to the customers. To everything. The place just needed a little more love. I will be back for more amazing food!! Thanks! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼

I have never given a one star review before, but we had a disappointing experience here. Now that the restaurant has moved to its new location, there is a no-contact system for ordering food. I thought that was a neat idea, however, when any problems come up, there is no one to talk to resolve the situation. We ordered our food online, and waited at the pickup location. The order kept listing as in process, but it never actually finished. We waited there for over an hour before trying to contact someone. We called the number to the restaurant (listed on Google maps), despite several calls, we never got in contact with anyone working inside the restaurant. Despite paying for our meal, we never received our meal or any explanation for the lack of food. Please consider instituting an in-person option, or a better communication system set in place when problems arise. If that is changed, I would love to change my review.

Really disappointed in the new experience. I loved this place so much before they moved. We celebrated multiple occasions here. The broth wasn’t flavorful like it usually is for the spicy noodle pho. It tasted so watered down. You don’t nearly get as much food as you used to. The price has increased. The noodles changed. The topping even switched from white onion to red onion. The server was so sweet but the food was so disappointing. I wish more people supported them in their old spot so they could have stayed open. So sad.

Very Tasty Bahn Mi and Pho. Thai tea was rich and delicious as well. Try the 5 spice chicken! Worth the trip to Nashville!

Far East serves great Vietnamese food consistently out of a lovely corner location next to the shops on Fatherland. The menu is quite varied. My top recommendation is the Spider Bowl a unique noodle dish with a full soft shell crab fried to perfection. The pho, spring rolls and ginger chicken rice bowls also deserve special mention. The portions are plenty to satiate hunger and the flavors are subtle and well considered unlike some other South East Asian locations that overpower everything with seasoning. This is also a great spot if on a vegetarian diet and there are vegan options as well for some dishes. The atmosphere inside is pleasant with decent seating as they have recently expanded. If it's nice out their patio is charming and a great choice. They have a small beer and sake selection of cans to complement some of the Spicer dishes, all asian beers if I recall correctly. As for service I've never found it bad but never great. Follow up after order and checking on drinks is a particular weak spot. Don't expect alot but your order will be correct at least. Overall I always am happy to dine here when in the mood for some Vietnamese comfort food.

Vietnamese cuisine restaurant located in East Nashville with a sleek decor and music throughout. For appetizers, we ordered the spring rolls (nice flavor) and the Far East wings (crispy with a sweet and spicy but also funky fish sauce flavor that we know and love). The sweet/spicy fish sauce was a bit thin and could have been thicker to better coat the wings. Needless to say, that sauce is addictive. For lunch entrees, we ordered the Pho Flavor Banh Mi and the Lemongrass Chix Noodle Bowl. The Banh Mi was a good size which I make note of because some places serve "mini" bahn mi sandwiches. The Lemongrass chicken which I typically see grilled and infused with lemongrass was prepared with a sauce. I am not sure which is the more traditional preparation but for my taste I could have done without the sauce. The plethora of veggies, pickled radish and good flavor makes the dish though. Note, you could find yourself frustrated by the slow service so set aside some additional time to dine. Overall, Far East has good food, a nice location, reasonable prices, and a good vibe. Pls like if this was helpful.
