About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for fine wines
Choy brings nostalgic Chinese American flavors utilizing local Tennessee ingredients by consulting Michelin-Star & James Beard Award Winning Chef Brandon Jew. Our signature Whole Roasted Peking-Style Duck is our crown jewel and is served in ceremony while our dining room boasts grand mid-20th century Shanghai art-deco design that transports you back to the Golden Age era.

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.

    HIGHLY recommend Choy. Food was amazing, and the service was honestly some of the best I’ve ever had in Nashville. The servers were constantly cleaning the table, taking empty plates as soon as we were finished, and filling our waters/taking additional drink orders. It’s rare to find an upscale spot in Nashville where the ambiance, food, AND service are all 10/10, but Choy is that spot. We will definitely return.

    Just do it…Walking in, I had high expectations from the previous reviews. We were greeted and taken upstairs by Nishaan, we were sat and immediately greeted by our waiter. Informative but not salesy. We had 2 drinks, great. 2 small plates, yellowtail and the scallion pancake. Multiple side dishes and the fish of the day, grouper. Service was five star, water was never empty, every service person was personable and kind. I like to think if the food is awesome, the service is amazing, and the ambiance is fun then it shouldn’t matter the price. This fits that to a T, doesn’t matter if it’s a special occasion or a mid week dinner this place will prove itself. I also appreciate Nishann being personable, had a great conversation. Overall 5 stars, this place will eventually be a household name just like Chauhan or Bourbon.

    Amazing food, cool ambience, service not great. The food was so good--every dish we ordered was amazing! Only issue was the service: We felt very rushed from the time we sat down. We wanted a relaxed meal and the server came over way too often to see if we were ready. Also, the server was a bit overwhelming--went through the menus so fast our heads were spinning!
