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.

    The Peking duck was outstanding and all the other small plates we ordered. There was not one thing we didn’t care for. Drinks were strong and service was excellent from our main waiter to the support servers and staff. One of the best meals we have had in Nashville!!

    Our bartender was great and the drinks were very good. We started out with the wings, the yellowtail, mapo tofu, which were all excellent. Then had the crab fried rice. I couldn’t taste truffle at all, and the mushroom gravy was so overwhelming, I couldn’t even taste the crab. It was just not a great combination. The wok charred bok choy was also just okay. It wasnt really “charred” and didn’t need all the oyster sauce. I’d probably order it again and just nix the oyster sauce and char it a bit more. We will go back and try some other items that looked good!

    Don’t sleep on this one… it could be gearing up to be one of Nashville’s best! Get in while you can! Incredible menu… small plates and entrees support the star of the show: expertly prepared Peking Duck. Service was perfect. Attentive and friendly without being intrusive. Nice wine list and cocktail menu. A sense that the entire team was grateful for our business. Highlights were absolutely the scallion pancake with caviar service. Worth every cent. The duck was flawless and we also really enjoyed the bok choy side and a crudo-type yellowtail appetizer that was bursting with freshness and flavor. Four of us shared 4 small plates, the duck, crab fried rice, the bok choy side, and two desserts. Not one thing was mid or meh. Each bite had something special going on. Bonus: We had plenty of duck to take home. We’re eating our way around Nashville and Choy is a standout. The ambiance, service and perfectly executed dishes make it a really special night out that we will remember. Treat yourself!

    Cocktails are very creative and unique - everything ew tried was great. Kitchen menu is pricey but amazing. My table tried three or four small plates and shared two large plates. The trout is exceptional and could easily feed three people. The tuna small plate came with 9 small pieces of tuna each with a slice of pear, a pickled radish, toasted sesame seeds, and an edible marigold leaf. I would have been impressed if the dinner had ended there - but everything was really great. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive (maybe overly attentive!). I would definitely go back again to celebrate an occasion with adult friends or family.
