We came in Christmas evening after misreading an advertisement. Regardless of the reservation only day, the owners allowed us in. We were blown away by the service and kindness brought to us. The kitchen consisted of just the owner whipping up every meal in the packed restaurant. Two kitchen workers had not been able to make their shift and, honestly, could not even notice. The food came fast and we were waited on continuously, regardless of how incredibly busy they were. I've had lesser service at completely empty establishments. The food was well seasoned and tasted great. We loved the entire experience. Thank you for helping us complete our Christmas Eve 🥰

If you’re in Nashville and haven’t tried BODHI Asian Street Eats, you’re missing one of the most underrated gems in the city. I stopped in recently and ordered a bowl loaded with perfectly seared chicken, sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, onions, and a glossy, savory sauce that hit that ideal balance of sweet and umami. The rice was fluffy and fresh, not dry or clumpy like you get at a lot of fast-casual spots. The vegetables had real texture—nothing overcooked, nothing soggy. You can tell they actually care about execution. Even the simple details, like the fresh carrot and cabbage garnish, made the bowl feel intentional and complete. But what really separates BODHI from everywhere else is the people behind it. Jason and Nancy, the owners, are genuinely some of the kindest business owners you’ll meet. They’re warm, welcoming, and present. You can feel that this isn’t just a restaurant to them—it’s personal. They treat customers like regulars even if it’s your first visit. That kind of hospitality is rare, and it makes a difference. In a city packed with food options, BODHI stands out because it delivers both quality and heart. Great flavor. Fresh ingredients. Clean presentation. And owners who truly care. If you’re looking for Asian street-style comfort food done right in Nashville, this spot deserves your support.

Highly recommend. My second time visiting and both visits have been more than satisfying with DELICIOUS food! I ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice with beef both times (shrimp added the second) — I love that you can adjust your spice level as well. I had the privilege to meet the owners today, Jason and Nancy, who were a complete joy! The atmosphere is welcoming and calm.
