Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Chinese American flavors meet Tennessee ingredients at this sleek restaurant named one of the 25 best in the city by The New York Times. Inspired by consulting chef Brandon Jew’s SF hotspot Mister Jiu's, Choy dishes up cross-cultural hits like roast duck with peanut butter hoisin and gulf snapper with fermented black beans. Beverage titans Justin Mueller & Abe Vucekovich have created an enviable drinks program spotlighting rare selections that pair perfectly with the food and moody interiors featuring grand emerald leather booths and artwork by acclaimed Nashville artist Ed Nash.

We absolutely loved Choy--the service was very attentive, and the menu options were so fantastic that it was hard to choose what to get because we wanted to try everything! The sourdough scallion pancake with caviar, white truffle crab fried rice and char siu pork chow fun were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!!!

Food was delicious however for me the ambience is just about as important. Unfortunately the music choice is incongruent with the sophistication of the food and it was so loud it felt intrusive and adversely impacted my experience.

Last night, we were transported to Shanghai for a modern elevated Chinese experience. Very creative, inventive with amazing flavors. Every dish was outstanding and we had many dishes. We even ordered the crab fried rice to go for lunch today. We will be back to try the rest of menu especially the Peking duck!
