When you enter the Cafe, it's small and well maintained. The hostess/server, was polite joyful and accommodating. Seating was not problem as our two were the only ones used. Menu was small for a true Thai food selection. Ranging in price from $8.99 for four egg rolls to $21.99 for the pho combo. Selection made was for pot stickers, stir-fried noodles with shrimp, stir-fried with rice and chicken. Normally a wait of 10 to twenty minute is normal for pot stickers. Freshly made and steamed. Not these, frozen and deep fried. Came to the table hard as bricks. Tried one, and no thank you. A few minutes later the first plate of food arrived and it was not pleasing visually. Taste wasn't good either. Chicken was leathery and vegetables were from a veggie mix bag, as in cauliflower, carrots, and broccoli. No onions, zucchini, or any fresh vegetables. Some had freezer burn. Rice was good but not anything to complain about. After sampling the plate, the second plate appeared and to my astonishment there were roman noodles covering the exact same vegetables as the first plate. More so, with the broccoli showing extra freezer burn. The yum yum sauce was from a bottle and not fresh. Again a no thank you. Both plates were below satisfactory. My recommendation is if this Thai Cafe wants to attract a large selection of people and not just a few locals. They start by using fresh vegetables and non manufactured food. The selections are limited to just a few of Thai food. What does make a difference is the pleasantly nice little hole on the wall Cafe with a nice staff. Bring up the food quality to match the staff and I am sure you could be open more than four days a week.

Tried this new place at Noon on a Friday. Plenty of parking and no problem getting a seat, though the place was full when we left so timing was perfect. Decent menu selections but not as large as other similar Thai places. Wasn't a problem though. Got pot stickers - $6.99, Pad Thai @ $13.99, Pad Kra Pao @ $13.99 and Thai Tea for $5.99. Wish Thai Tea would have been slightly less costly, but it was tasty and on the sweet side. Food came out fast and was steaming hot. Portion sizes were tremendous and having a ton of leftovers made the $53.14 (including tax and tip) a good value. Food was tasty and the service was attentive. Wife got a spice level 1 on Pad Thai and thought it was a little too much heat, so those sensitive may want to start conservative on your spice levels here. Would recommend to locals and we plan to go back to try other menu options. No complaints at all - a welcome addition to White House.

I come at the get the beef pho semi regularly. I personally think Pho should be the main items sold and everything is just filler. The pho is hands down top 5 pho in the Nashville area. I have tried at least 15 pho restaurants between White House all the way down in Brentwood to east Nashville, to Bellevue fyi Bellevue has a place this in the top five but I digress. Come at get the Beef pho maybe the Pad Thai my daughter loves that here too.
