                                              Fantastic! Every dish was superb. I was so happy we found Choys. The Snapper was my favorite dish. Fresh, cooked perfectly, with a sauce to make it melt-in-your-mouth. I cannot wait to come back to Nashville to experience Choy s again.

                                              Mediocre, overpriced food. We are here on Xmas eve snd they stuck us in an empty, dark part of the restaurant. Such a depressing experience. Definitely will not be going back.

                                              My wife and I had an amazing night at Choy. It was my Birthday dinner and I believe every staff member wished me a happy birthday. The Peking duck was phenomenal!
