A family-owned and operated small business. We serve traditional Thai and Laotian food. Most items are made fresh and per order. Some appetizers are pre-made to expedite the timing of preparations.
First Impression:
cleanest place we have visited! which is wonderful because you know, if you visit a place and it looks impecable ,that is gonna make you feel comfortable, bc most probably sanitization even in kitchen is gonna be perfect. 10/10 points!
Customer Service, was so special, this beautiful and awesome lady was so warm and polite with us and very specific with meals information, best person ever . 10/10 points
lets talk about food .... 1 word FLAVORFULL wow delicioussssssssssss Spring roll so crunchy, freshness, you don't even taste the oil, not reusable oil( amazing ), mushrooms soup ufffff, that plate goes in order again, fried shrimps ufff exquisite, all food was good here guys!
Conclusion: Don't hesitate to come here ! grab you bag , keys and car and drive straight to this place, you will love it :)
First, the women and man that I encountered that work there or own it are super kind and funny.
I got seafood pho and spring rolls. The ingredients/seafood were super fresh and the shrimp tasted like it was fresh as well, never frozen. The pho was presteamed, which was wonderful for take out. I hate having to reheat my broth and hope it's hot enough to cook my noodles well. Not a problem at all here. Great quantity of ingredients and broth. Flavorful, not super oily broth. They put spices on the side so you can choose to add your spice level.
Super excited to go back and try other things. 10/10 recommend.
I'm super impressed with this spot. I stopped by a few hours before closing and was greeted by a charming host. As I ordered then waited to be served, we chatted a bit and I felt welcomed.
The lo mein exceeded my expectations - homemade noodles, fresh veggies, and a savory sauce. I also ordered the spicy Laos sausage that came with a mouthwatering chili sauce. Incredibly delicious. For the lo mein (and other entrees) you can choose a spice level between 1-5, but they also have extra sauces/spices you can put on after the food is served.
Since the beef jerky comes with the same chili sauce, I ordered that to go, along with some pork spring rolls. Everything was super tasty and I felt like my money was well spent.
The staff is so nice and the place is so cozy!! The staff was so patient with my friends and I because of how indecisive we were! The food was absolutely AMAZING!! The food comes out hot and fresh and the spice made it 10X better!! I see some people hating on the spice level being too “spicy,” but they always say “the spice level is from 1-5, or none,” so if you can’t take the heat, don’t ask for it 🙅🏻♀️ overall my experience with the staff and the food was a 10/10‼️‼️ Hope this place gets the hype it deserves‼️‼️
Below is *some* of the food we ordered presentation was exquisite for real 😎

Great job, great curry.
The food was amazing!! It's a must try.
Wow! Wish this was closer to me. Great food, very good flavors, and portions are great sizes. I’ll definitely be back. Would put in top 5 Thai spots I’ve had in the Nashville area.
Absoluetely amazing. Staff are amazing and food was perfect. Wish I could give 6 stars
Best pho in town
Delicious meals and friendly service. Food was hot and the spice was spot on. Highly recommend!
Went here years ago when they first opened and have not been back since recently. Was super disappointed with my noodle dish as well as my soup. Both traditional dishes tasted off and were not fresh. Only took a few bites and had to throw it out. Wont be back. Such a shame because it was good at one point. Perhaps they had an off day?
Excellent, authentic Thai food.

Is this place amazing?
Yes. 10/10
They were so hospitable and patient while me and my indecisive friends ordered.
I absolutely LOVED their crab Rangoon’s. You can tell they make them fresh. All the food is served hot and tastes AMAZING.
Spice is life. And if you can’t handle it then oh well.
The venue is so nice and cozy. The lighting is nice and the plants they have is a very nice touch.
Overall, I’m definitely going to be eating here again sometime soon.
10/10 you should try the crab Rangoon’s

My favorite for lunch or dinner. Everything is cooked to perfection and the FLAVORS are so good!!
10/10 would love to go again. It makes you feel so nostalgic even tho it was the first time I have went there. Very homey and comforting atmosphere.It also has the tables sectioned out with these twine so it makes the entire dining experience more intimate and personal. The food was absolutely amazing every single thing I ordered from them didn't disappoint. The service was lovely they were very friendly and welcoming. So over all I highly recommend this place. It's so good you would want to gatekeep it for yourself but I have recommended it to everyone I know.
Very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Food is amazing and the service was great.
Excellent Thai food and great atmosphere
Best thai food in the city !!
I love this place!
I had the beef phò it was really delicious, meat was very tender. They also serve variety of foods ! Very comfortable place to eat at! Friendly staffs too!
Good food!
I'm 6 months late on leaving this review. I moved here last year and tried this place twice.
First time wasn't bad, food was mostly good, chicken was a little rubbery.
Second time my food smelled and tasted fishy like raw shrimp. I ordered chicken pad thai so no shrimp should be in it. It was bland and tasted like raw shrimp cross-contaminated into the food. I had to throw the food away. I woke up that night violently sick from whatever contaminated the food.
Best Bobba tea in the area. The kids love the fried rice. The springs rolls and the peanut dipping sauce are good. The Tom Yum soup is good too. They can make it spicy 1-5. Usually get 2-3.
I am super late leaving this review but better late than never! If I could give it 6 stars I would. Food was phenomenal. Service was the same. Small restaurant but huge, authentic flavor. Owner is super cool. I will definitely be back for more
Service was great! Food came in less than 10 minutes. Everything about it was great, especially the food.
Great food and service. A little confusing because you have to go pay at the counter after your done eating but also kind of nice at the same time. It’s just different than typical restaurants in Nashville. However the food was great and the service was great as well!
My wife and I just ate here for the first time and the food was truly amazing. The Gang Phet was delicious 😋😋 as expected like most good Thai restaurants. The Pad Thai that my wife ordered was special, the flavors meshed really well. Next time we are in town we are coming back. Thank you ! 🙏🏽👌🏽
AMAZINGGGGG!!! We ordered the Pad Thai with chicken w/ extra sauce 🔥🔥 and the Gang Phet w/ chicken.
It was DELICIOUS!! If you haven’t tried this restaurant, you need to asap! We will be coming back soon 🥰
By far the best Thai food! Friendly staff, great food and clean restaurant. We tried 4 Thai places and this is our #1 pick.
I loooove the way lil Thai cook they food it is sooo delicious and authentic asian!?!?!!^*I highly recommend this place.
Food is delicious. Prices are great. Their spicy fried rice is amazing.
Went here for the first time to avoid going into nashville for Thai. The food was DELISH and the person helping us was so friendly too. Will def be visiting again soon or getting takeout
Absolutely delicious food and service.
Amazing authentic Pad Thai and Boba Tea, Had Thai tea and HoneyDew Boba Tea, both amazing. Very Sweet and kind owners.
Authentic Northeast Thai flavors- the sausage is delicious- and homey items like the fried egg.
Great food Great service. Will definitely eat here again. The meat was actually tender and not dried out. The spice was more than just a few pepper flakes which is what I wanted. My wife's meal of pho was good as she felt that there was seasoning in it and kept the broth with just the right flavor. Very good cost as well.
Hidden Gem! Food was amazing and the owners were very friendly.
Wow! Best chicken satay and drunken noodle I've ever had.
The best around Nashville!!! I had spicy chicken curry with peppers and bamboo shoots and carrots it's one of the best curry that I've had; the freshest Curry that I've had around here. I also had the chicken curry fried rice it's amazing it's fresh I will not order from another Thai restaurant ever again not as long as Lil Thai is around!!! flavors to die for!!! Prices you can not beat!!
Great customer service!!! Good food.
Hidden gem right off of the I-24! Delicious and authentic Thai food. My favorite dishes are the red curry & fried rice but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.
I came to Tennessee to do business. I don’t have a car and can only walk. After eating taco and burgers for a week, I finally couldn’t stand it. I walked for 25 minutes to the other side of the highway. I found this shop and I ordered a Gang Phet is too delicious for me. It should be the most delicious food I have eaten in recent years. Before I left Tennessee, I would come to eat every day.
Love the food, the service is always on point and it's a wholesome family oriented establishment. It's a place to get your Thai on!
My wife and I ate here for lunch. We had fresh spring roll for appetizer and red curry and fried rice for entrees. Everything was delicious, service was so friendly. Wish we lived closer, we would be regulars.
Excellent food, great customer service! I haven't been disappointed once with Lil Thai Cafe. Great flavor in every dish I've tried.
Fun, tasty, fresh. Family owned and welcoming. Worth visiting.
Best tea, love it 😋
Lovely people and amazing food! Best crab rangoon I've ever had!!
I order the pad Thai and I ask for level 2 and it was so hot it felt like level 22. I couldn’t call back because the time I got home they were close. It was too hot to eat so I had to throw away and go out and buy more food somewhere else.
Drunken Noodle and Red Curry both delicious and traditional. Prepared like you were in mom's kitchen. Generous portions, fair prices. So glad to find this place!
微貴,但東西好吃
Great ingredients and plenty of broth for my curry, which other restaurants don't always do. The wait was too long, though. They ran out of rice and didn't notify me, I could have ordered noodles instead. Nice owners, beautiful family gathering at restaurant. I enjoyed the scene, and the tv show Jurassic park, finally got a chance to watch it. So it gave me a good distraction while I was waiting too long.
Best Food, Great Service , Love this Place
Love this place, food is so good.
A small little thai restaurant hidden away in a shopping center!! Very clean and simple interior with a calming atmosphere. The food was so good and authentic! The owners cook themselves and it tastes just like moms cooking! I suggest the beef jerky and Lao sausage...ladna and kowpiak were on point!! Owners are super nice and put their heart and soul into it! Go try it out!!
Wonderful service and great food!
Friendly people and good food.
You wouldn't think you could get good Thai food in this area, but you would be happily mistaken. Lil Thai Cafe is the best surprise you will have in a while. The food is authentic and leaves you feeling full, but not bloated. If you are looking for something different, do yourself a favor and give it a shot. I recommend the See Ew and the Boba. (Yes, the photo is exactly how is was served to me)
New place. Good food. Excellent service
Best Asian cuisine in Lavergne !
If you like authentic Thai food, you can't get better than this! Weak taste buds beware! This can be very spicy so order appropriate to your spice comfort.
I love them ,they are awesome!! The food is the absolute best!!
Lil’s Drunken Noodles with chicken are fantastic!
Lil’s Drunken Noodles with tofo are amazing!
Awesome food and people. Thanks Kio for an awesome free food!!!
Always great family cooking nice people!
Husband loves their food. I don’t eat Thai, but I’ve picked up food for him and it always smells DELICIOUS.
I ordered from here for the first time today and I will definitely be going back!! Food was very flavorful and yummy! And it’s a plus that I live just around the corner!!!
Don't let the curb appeal if this newly opened restaurant full you. The food is authentic and homey. The owners will warmly welcome you and help you choose the perfect dish from this fantastic cuisine.
I love that food, and spicy food and I found them both is this lil thai hideaway.
I was even lucky enough to have the company of a local neighbor wai is friend with the owners, explaining to me all about the food and ther culture. Definitely recommend place for a family night out dinner.
Delicious food and the place is adorable! I had amazing chicken pad Thai - chicken was so moist and prices were awesome! Our new go to!
Prices are nice and food is excellent. Nice selection and discription of food. Very clean.
Super fast. Super yummy. They even do bubble tea :)
