How to Eat at Eater 38 Restaurants That Are Still Open in Nashville | Eater Nashville

"The Antioch essential swiftly changed its business to takeout only — open for dinner Tuesday through Sunday until 8 p.m. All the Korean restaurant’s classics are on the menu, including budae jjigae (“G.I. Stew”) —which features hot dogs, Spam, tofu, kimchi, and noodles in a spicy sauce. Ask for all of the banchan in the to-go bag. They will reserve a party room for dine-in — one group at a time." - Delia Jo Ramsey

Dining in the Suburbs: Where to Eat in Antioch | Eater Nashville

"Hai Woon Dai is possibly the best option for authentic Korean food in all of Nashville. It might not look like much from the outside, but there are plenty of delicious dishes at reasonable prices. Try the house made kimchi (which you can buy and take home) or the spicy pork, a fan favorite." - Kristy Lucero

Tried this restaurant for the first time based on a friend’s recommendation. Parking was convenient, and the atmosphere inside was modern and clean. The menu was simple and included pictures, which helped me understand the presentation of each dish. Now for the food: we started with the seafood pancake. It wasn’t crispy at all—in fact, I’d describe it as hard. The pancake still showed raw white flour inside, and the texture was gummy and elastic because of the octopus, which ended up tasting like jelly. It seems they used a mix of frozen, pre-packaged seafood. I don’t recommend the seafood pancake. I had read a review before that said the same, but I still wanted to give it a try, since I believe dishes like this are a true test of a restaurant’s quality. The server brought me cold noodles, but there was a hair on the edge of the bowl and a piece of foam on the cucumber side dish. Instead of offering a proper solution, he simply picked the hair off with his fingers and told me the foam didn’t affect the food. No apology, no corrective action. I won’t eat a dish that someone has put their fingers in, even with good intentions. When the manager came by to ask if everything was okay, I was surprised the server hadn’t reported the issue. It made the situation even more awkward. I can tell the staff here are friendly, but I don’t agree with how this was handled.🥲 I’d still come back to try other dishes and hope things will be better next time

How do you say delicious in Korean? 😆 Because Hai Woon Dai had us wanting to say it over and over again! 🔥 From the perfectly marinated meats to the bold, flavorful sides, every bite was a whole experience. If you’re craving authentic Korean BBQ that hits every time, this is the spot! 🍽️🔥 #OfficiallyCrownedApproved

Truly authentic Korean food.. BBQ meats are very tasty and they cook for you. Generous portions of onion and lettuce. Try their Hotspot very tasty!

I have been dining at Hai Woon Dai for the past 4 years. Never once have a bad experience. Food is always delicious. They have the best Tangsuyuk in Tennessee, 100/10! Bossam was delicious. I wish they served it with raw oysters. That would be amazing! Service is okay to be honest. Ahjumma was not in the mood to smile lol Table was clean and the atmosphere was cozy.

Recently went here to dine in, but they were closing soon so we ordered takeout. The host/server who took our order was very lovely and super helpful with guiding us through the menu and what the kitchen was still able to make that wouldn't take too long before they closed. As someone who loves kimchi stew, it was very standard and similar to most Korean spots so packed with flavor, and a solid choice. Banchan sides were fresh and plentiful. Everything was delicious and we had zero critiques. Definitely going back to dine in to have a full KBBQ experience.

Visited October 12, 2024. We were warmly greeted as we entered, and upon being seated, I noticed the updated menus and the announcement of extended weekend hours from 9 PM to 10 PM. We had two servers: a kind young gentleman who also doubled as food runner and a female server who was less attentive. Although she didn't acknowledge our thanks, she did check on us periodically, so it wasn't a major issue. Our table ordered four entrées, and each one was delicious! My only complaint was that the egg in the Dolsot Bibimbab was overcooked. I corrected this by simply taking it out and added another in from my soontofu soup. Aside from that, the presentation and flavor of all four dishes were delicious. The Galbi was the star tonight--savory, sweet, warm, and tender--definitely a 10/10! My daughter loved it. This hidden gem has been around for over a decade, located in Antioch off I-24 at Haywood Lane, exit 57. I've consistently enjoyed my meals here, but today felt almost like a five-star experience. I can't wait to return! There's also a shared free parking lot and gender-segregated restrooms for anyone wondering.

Don't let the modest exterior fool you, this place serves up the best Korean food in Nashville! They have an extensive menu of all the classics (bibimbap, soft tofu soup, barbecued meats like bulgogi and Galbi, stews for 2, Korean pancakes, you name it). Big portions and authentic taste. Their Banchan is also solid - love their potatoes. Comfy seating with booths and tables, and a back room for overflow seating. Food can sometimes be a little slow to come out if they're busy but it's worth it!

Really good authentic Korean BBQ! Kind of confusing to find- it's in a strip mall- but the food is delicious.

When diving into a cuisine that represents the diverse cultures and rich traditions of our people the expectation is to be blown away by a unique experience. Traveling the world while role playing as a tourist in your hometown allows us to enjoy that which makes the world of humans unique. Hai Woon Dai fully encapsulates the Korean dining experience where you feel that you've flown across the world in your own city. The food is nothing less than spectacular and absolutely peak for any soul seeking the greatest tastes the Korean Peninsula has to offer. To assist with this, the loveliest Korean women who have built their lives on their incredible food and truly stand on business are there to help guide you through their worlds. They are the sweetest people and make you feel like you're sitting in an apartment in Seoul downing shots of soju playing apateu and other games. As for the atmosphere, it's calm, soothing, and enjoyable. It is ready for any group looking to connect with their taste, whether you're ordering single serve entrees or engaging in the absolute enjoyment that is Korean barbecue. The lovely ladies of hai woon dai are ready to work the grills so you have a la carte meats marinated and cooked to perfection. This is as good as Korean food gets in Nashville. Come for a bite!

Got: Bulnak Jonga- bbq beef and octopus stew ($42), kimchi pancake ($19) Price: 7/10, on par with most Korean places. Not divey or cheap. Fair standard price. Value: 7/10 good portions. More value if there are 3-5 people in the group to eat family style. Sharing is caring :) Went with a coworker on a Friday night. The ambiance is casual but well put together. The tables around the perimeter of the room have kbbq griddles while the tables in the interior do not. Bulnak is a combination of the words "bulgogi"- BBQ beef and "nakji" = octopus. The jongal stew was flavorful with a slight sweetness. Seafoody, savory, and spicy. There was plenty of udon and beef. It was slightly lacking in octopus and the veggies - more would have been welcomed. The crown daisy veggie, for those who aren't familiar, is the leafy part of the chrysanthemum plant. It's slightly herbally with licorice notes. Banchan was options were meh. Macaroni salad, sweetened braised potatoes, etc are not my favorite options but I'm assuming they rotate based upon ingredient variability. The kimchi pancake was the best I've had. Crispy, craggly, slightly soft on the inside, crunchy veggies without an overwhelming kimchi taste. Scallions, zucchini, and kimchi laced the inside of the pancake, providing a structure for the batter to cling to. The batter was super crispy on the outside. Almost tasted like it was deep-fried. The pancake itself was red but didn't have a strong sour or fermented taste. The friendly waiter took our Polaroid picture and placed it on the wall. Attentive service and great food. Overall, would come back again with MORE people to try more options. Would get the jongal and pancake again but would add some bibimbap and KBBQ meat!

Kun-mandu - pretty good. I would get this again. Jajangmyeon - my kid tore this up. My husband and I both REALLY liked it too. Shumai - I really liked, my husband thought it was too simple. Galbi - my husband thought it was just average, but our friend loved it. Probably would try something else next time. This is definitely one of the better Korean barbecue places in town. The server was nice. I would try the Korean barbecue here as well next that's too

Very good korean bbq restaurant where you are able to grill your own proteins. The korean bbq is seasoned well. I like it here, one of my favorite korean bbq restaurants in the aera. They give a lot of pickled sides. My wife and kid enjoys their side dishes. The service is good. It gets busy and the temperature of the restaurant can get a little humid due to all the grills on.

Service was great. We all loved the food we ordered. The seafood pancake definitely needs the sauce that it comes with. I would've wanted more of the sauce given the size of the pancake. Shrimp tempura udon soup that my daughter ordered was amazing! The broth was delicious. And it's a huge portion! We went on a Saturday night right when they opened. Glad we did.

Super solid Korean in a city that lacks it in general. Very friendly staff and nice bowl of yukaejang (spicy beef soup). Wanted to try a Korean homestyle staple on my first visit. Probably a tiny bit overpriced but that's how things are here. I'll definitely be back though!

Had been wanting to try this place for the past few years and finally made it out to Antioch. I was unfortunately disappointed. While the bulgogi was fine (nothing special) the snowflake galbi was so disappointing. It was essentially flavorless, even with the added sauces and for $39 I was hoping for more. It was also pretty chewy. Luckily, the service was quick and the sides were pretty good, but there are no refills and I found them to be on the lighter side. p.s. there's free parking right outside, in case anyone was wondering.

10/10. Can't believe there's actually good Korean food in Nashville. The food was great and the customer service was GREAT. Can't wait to come back and try out the kbbq. Modern and clean interior.

This is our favorite kbbq spot in the Nashville area. Anytime we have an event or just crave we come here. Reservations are always great they have larger rooms for private reservations groups. They usually cook the meats for you which is nice if you don't know how long to cook for. I like this spot because it tastes very authentic. Many other kbbq spots have very typical restaurant kbbq taste when it comes to the meats but this spot tastes like someone's ahjumma is back there making everything. What usually makes or breaks a kbbq for me personally is the side dishes. Anyone can marinate meat but I think the side dishes tell you how authentic they really are and I love all the banchan here.

This restaurant was excellent about 10 years ago. But, sadly, I can't recommend Hai Woon Dai anymore. The banchan, shumai, bibimbop were all bland and poorly executed. Even the steamed rice was mush- yikes! Maybe the tabletop BBQ is still good?

Went for the Korean BBQ with some friends. Highly recommend the Galbi and the Spicy pork. Those were by far the best meats we had. We also tried the Snowflake beef which was one of the pricier beef options and it was disappointing. Fantastic service and a great spot for Korean BBQ. They will take a Polaroid picture of you and put it on the wall if you ask!

We used to love this place, but yesterday the experience of the visit was really horrible... we went there for my friend's son birthday dinner, we have 20 people in our party which brings business to the owner should be very happy, but the people seems unhappy to see us. The party room needs a minimum of $500, but the service attitude is not worth it!! Even though they say the side dishes are non-refillable which is never happened in the Korean restaurant before... we're all very disappointed and sad about the service and the management, I don't think we will be back again.

It was the second Korean restaurant I tried in Nashville. Ordered the naengmyeon, jjajangmyeon, and Galbi. Both the noodle dishes were excellent. The cold buckwheat noodles were refreshing and were a great way to finish the meal. The black bean noodles were chewy, flavorful, and everything you want in the dish. I thought the short ribs were ok, but the marinade wasn't quite my favorite. Really good service. Will definitely be back!

Have really enjoyed Hai Woon Dai whenever I go! Definitely get the Korean BBQ. It's always been busy the few times I've been but service is always good and a good time. I have always gone with friends and they usually order so not sure what all I've had but everything has been tasty!

WHAT A MEAL. We stopped by Hai Woon Dai for takeout today and then stuffed our faces right outside the restaurant in our car (it's our new COVID thing), but it was too good not to eat hot and fresh (we live 40+ minutes away from the restaurant). We ordered online through Google via Postmates and got a confirmation text to let us know our order was confirmed and when it would be ready (with a link to check when the food was prepared and ready for pickup). The food was ready so fast - 15-20 minutes! And everything was delicious. We started with the Galbi mandu (A2: steamed dumpling), which were juicy and flavorful and delicious. We also tried the Teokboki (E22: spicy stir-fried rice cakes), which was a little (but not too) spicy and also delicious. After that, it was the Jjanjangmyun (N3: Korean-style Chinese noodle dish with black bean sauce), which was crazy delicious - so comforting. And we had to try their Galbi (B1: marinated beef short ribs), which were - you guessed it - delicious! We didn't in because of COVID (my vaccine appointment is right around the corner finally though), but my husband who ran in for the food said it was really charming inside! We'd happily eat in after we're both vaccinated (he's an MD that was vaccinated back in December). This was a great meal. I loved every bite. We visited Hai Woon Dai, because it was on my LIST (a sort of Nashville bucket list of things to do and restaurants to eat at before we leave Nashville in June of this year), and now I'm so sad we didn't eat at Hai Woon Dai sooner. We used to live in South Nashville, and Hai Woon Dai isn't that far. But we enjoyed our meal so much I'm sure we'll eat it again on a visit back to Nashville in the future when we're no longer residents! DELICIOUS. Whether you love Korean food or are just starting to learn about and enjoy it, Hai Woon Dai is well worth a visit! Based on our first visit and all the food we tried, you can't go wrong!

My roommates love this place. I on the other hand think this place is a little bit pricy. All the dishes we ordered tasted really good. I just wish they increased the quantity for the price we paid. The restaurant is clean and there is a lot of parking available. The people who served the food were kind and, our food came out really fast. I enjoyed the Chicken Fried Rice (E-31) and Hot chicken Bulgogi (E-20) combo. I would highly recommend ordering these two together.

After almost 4 years, yesterday we went back to Hai Woon Dai for dinner. My very first visit to Hai Woon Dai was 7 years ago. Previous visits made me think that it was a traditional, regular Korean restaurant with good food and fair hospitality. But, please note my Korean exchange students back in 6-7 years ago loved Hai Woon Dai and i was invited by them a few time. Thus no doubt this place was one of a "go-to" Korean restaurants. However, we did not visit during COVID years and I was told there was an ownership change. With all curiosities and past memories of Hai Woon Dai, we visited again yesterday. At the moment we went in, we were literally astonished by its new layout and interior design. Just keeping what it was as per the floor plan, but chairs, tables and walls are already renovated. Unfortunately, I did not take the picture of its overall setting. I noticed the new face of the manager and most of the waitresses are new to us as well - only familiar staff is a lady who has been with Hai Woon Dai for years :) when seated, we felt like we were in a Korean restaurant that is more modern and has better ambience - like some of the Korean restaurants in larger cities. There are quite a few instant photos on the wall of each dinning area. That is very creative. Food is of course even much much better and diversified! We never had BBQ in previous era of this restaurant, so we tried this time. The non-marinated pork belly is tender and fantastic; so is the Snowflake Beef Slices! Cold noodle (with soup) is so authentic that it reminded my childhood when I dined in a cold noodle restaurant in my hometown!! Everything just made us compliment all the time!!! Love it! Service is also unbeatable as you'd expect their BBQ assistance and seamless care of your table every minute :) If I recommended Hai Woon Dai 7 years ago, I will absolutely highly recommend this to all of my friends from Nashville, Asian countries and resigns, Americas, and other parts of the world!!! Super excited that Nashville is now having a upscale Korean dining place ^-^

I dined at Hai Woon Dai on Sunday, January 10, 2021 at 7 pm. I heard this place was recently renovated and had their menus updated since I last came here, so I decided to revisit. I came for their Korean bbq and only ordered the D combo, which is the least expensive combination option at $74.99. For 2 people, I think the amount of meat in D combo is just enough. However, I think it is pretty expensive considering that a lot of AYCE Korean bbq places where I'm from in Northern Virginia are priced under $30/person. Nonetheless, the quality of the meat was still pretty good and tasted flavorful. I wish there were spicy marinated meat options, since I think those should be standard for Korean bbq. Service was good, but could be improved. I appreciated the servers cooking the meat, but after all the meat was cooked, they were no longer attentive to our table. I think this place is worth returning to try their other entree's, but not for the bbq.

A hidden gem in Nashville! Came here from out of town hoping to find a decent Asian restaurant, and I was not disappointed! It's great to see authentic ethnic cuisines represent in the most unsuspecting of places. I came here with my family of 4 for dinner, and left finishing enough food for 6! Everything we tried was delicious! If I'm in town again, I would definitely come back.

We visit here every year when I visit the kids for Thanksgiving in Nashville! The pork fried rice was amazing and forgive me, but I cannot remember or pronounce the names of the dishes I ordered...it was more point and order at this point. My daughter in law is Vietnamese and she loves coming here! The seafood pancake was very good, and we took most of that home for leftovers. The staff is always very nice and accommodating even when I request a fork and knife! Overall, I definitely recommend you eating here, and get there early as the place can get crowded quickly.

Hai woon dai is a gem. Everything on the menu is amazing and never disappoints. It's my favorite Korean spot in the Nashville area. Four of us went for dinner and ordered seafood pancake, spicy tofu soup, and kbbq combo D. Combo D fed four of us and we had some leftovers to take home. Although I've had kbbq that was marinated more, it was still tasty and enjoyable.

This is our first and probably will be our last visit to this restaurant. Our family of 3 spend close to $150 on our Order. The food was good but a bit overpriced. Oh yes, that old lady that everyone talks about on this board is real! She is definitely not a happy human being but try not to let her ruin your dining experience if you decide to eat at this restaurant.

Yelp
Rude wait staff, especially the old lady. The old lady hassled my friend down who gave a 15% tip and basically asked for more when their service was below par. She stopped my friend from leaving and basically pointed to the 18% or more tips in front of the entire restaurant. No water or side dish refills were given.. The only time we were visited was when they took orders, gave us our food, hand us our check, and to take our checks. When handing us the checks, there were no manners. Not a single hello, hi, or anything. He just slid us the checks without saying a single word. The food was good but honestly, I rather go to Seoul Garden and get better service. It's pretty disappointing considering I was a regular here. I am beyond embarrassed that I brought my friends who were new in town here. We will not be returning.

3.5 stars Had dinner with a group of friends and family. I Ordered the spicy pork. Tasted too pasty with spice. It comes with side dishes. And the others ordered more items also. Is it me? I just feel like their food portions smaller then what I'm used to and for the price it's relatively expensive. For a group with 10 ppl we only received 2 sets of veggies sides. Ummm We needed a few more rounds of that. The legit items were the soups the seaFood noodles did arrive in a big bowl enough to share. For big party group you can reserve that back room space in advance.

My husband and I came here after our go-to Korea place was closed. It was quite busy, but we were greeted immediately and were told it'd be a 10 minute wait for a grill. We actually only waited 5 minutes. We had impeccable service, and the restaurant was warm and homey. We ordered, I believe d3 or whatever was the cheapest KBBQ combo. It came with banchan, five different meats, salad, rice, and lettuce for ssam. It was all so delicious! It was also really fun to cook it all. We loved all of it, and our waitress was so kind and helpful. Also, the host was very sweet and told us not to feel rushed, as a crowd was forming and waiting for a table. This place hit the spot on a really cold night. We'll be back soon!

We came on a Friday for dinner and this place was packed. Super busy for dine in and take out so definitely make reservations! For budae jigae, this is a pretty big portion so can likely share with 3-4 people if you get other dishes too. The seafood pancake was packed with ingredients and delicious. The black bean noodles were average and lacked flavor. Overall, food was a bit pricier than expected but will still be back soon!

The food was delicious and reasonable portions especially the Seafood pancake! The service was bad. Been going here many times for 4 years and there was a sweet older lady that always greeted us here, sadly she left. Brought my grandpa here for his first time, and our server was a new older lady that we didn't recognize. We greet her nicely and ordered, and she had just cut us off saying "stop pointing at the pictures/ names say the name correctly." And we did not want to offend anyone by mispronouncing traditional dishes. Then when we tipped over 20% even after all the rudeness cause at the end of the day, she was still a server who served food to us, she demanded we tip more and asked, "That's it?"

Hai Woon Dai is a awesome, tucked in the corner of a shopping center spot off Antioch Pk. My lady took me for the first time a couple months ago. This place is fire! I had the Beef Dolsot and she gets the Bulgogi every time. The hot pot with the rice, beef, and veggies sizzling when it comes to the table. A lot of side dishes to share. I like the fish cakes and the pasta salad the best. Definitely a cool spot to check out if you are into that type of flavor.

From what I can see the food may be ok but the price is way to high. I have ate at many Korean restaurants and even owned one myself.

Best Korean food in Nashville. When you look around at all the Asian businessmen coming in for a taste of home, you know you're in the right place.

Apparently it's been far too long since I've been to Haiwoondai. I have been coming here since they were a traditional korean restaurant ran by older aunties. I heard they added BBQ to the menu, but I didn't realize the restaurant was under new ownership and had been remodeled! They still serve all of the classic dishes like kimchi jjigae, soondubu jjigae, yukkaejang, etc. But I see with the new ownership there's "new age" Korean food on the menu like cream tteokbokki. We came for BBQ. It is not all you can eat, but they do have some combos if you are in a group of 4 or more. I think what sets Haiwoondai apart is the more unique cuts of meats, like "snowflake" beef (marbled), pork jowl, and beef belly. These cuts are much harder to find around these parts! We ordered the beef belly and pork jowl. If you like ordering pork belly (samgyupsal), try the jowl if you've never had it before. It's so rich and tender! Still one of my favorite places. :)
