First time eating here and it was fantastic. We ordered a Thai tea, which was sweet and creamy. Then we couldn't figure out which starters we wanted so we ordered the sampler which came with potstickers, crab rangoons, spring rolls, and lumpia (filipino style rolls). It comes with three sauces a potsticker dip (soy based), sweet and sour sauce dip, and a sweet and creamy dip. Everything we ordered as tasty. The potstickers were full of flavor, the rolls were crispy, and the rangoons were crispy, warm, and creamy. For entrees we wanted some traditional filipino food so we ordered the Dinuguan, which is a pork gravy cooked in garlic, chili and vinegar, and served with rice. This dish as amazing but you want to eat it on warm, soft rice in a thin layer for the best experience. Then we also ordered the bbq kabob plate. We ordered it with pork, chicken and shrimp on skewers. It also comes with a veggie kabob, lumpias, and pancit (sauteed rice noodles with veggies and chicken). The kabobs were great and the extras complimented the dish nicely. Our server was wonderful, very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. We were also able to sit outside with our dog, which is also a plus. Overall a great experience.

Took my family here for the first time tonight. Wow, is how I left feeling. To start the young gentleman server was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and was able to help us understand what we were getting and even made some great suggestions that my 11 year old loved. The food came out very timely, with several tables in there. The food was absolutely fantastic. The portions were enough for 2 meals. We even got to sample some blueberry bread which was also wonderful.I overheard whom I believe to be the owner talking about how her family was helping run the restaurant and to see such a collaborative effort among them to bring the culture to us in Cookeville really made me want to support this local business more.Overall, fantastic group running this place with a fantastic menu.Vegetarian options: Speaking with the waiter, they use coconut milk to support Vegan options as well as any protein is substitutable with Tofu. Egg can be removed from any dish. Large Veggiterian selection.Kid-friendliness: My 11 year old loved the Crispy Chicken (orange chicken)

Such a lovely little place! The lumpia were crisp and perfect, the pancit delicious, and the service so friendly and attentive without hovering.

Great food always served fresh. There is a little wait because it's cooked fresh but well worth it.

I just want to say that this is the best drunken noodles I have tried! It’s about my 5th time ordering from them and it’s as good as the first time. I have tried many drunken noodles but this one comes on top every time. Do your self a favor and try them

Fresh delicious food with a excellent, kind, attentive staff. I had the yellow curry. It was very fresh and very flavorful. The loompia are very tasty. The chef brought out a sample of Korean fried chicken for us to try on the house and it was delicious! I would recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic tasty Thai/Filipino food. Oakville desperately needs this restaurant to be a success so please support it.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE Fil-Thai! The drunken noodles/rice with chicken are my favorite, but I've had some others on the menu (chicken and pork adobo, pandit, lumpia, and rangoons) and all were great. Have had food from the restaurant and the food truck, both were fresh and flavorful. This place is a MUST.

OMG!!!If I could give 10 ? stars, I would!!!This little place is Outrageously EXCELLENT!I am here on business from East Texas and always look for local independent restaurants to eat at when traveling.I feel like I found a gold mine.The service was on point and I feel that they exceeded my expectations.The food was off the charts Great.Bursting with delicious flavors. ?I ordered the big bowl of soup.Filipino soup with chicken, I asked them to Make it extremely spicy for me and do not be afraid to light it up.That was probably the best soup I have ever had.I also ordered the chicken drunken noodles.Again I said to light it up and Make it extremely spicy.And again, the flavor, the texture the appearance was just Amazing!The food was so good that I forgot to take pictures of both delicious meals.The owner Irene came out to check on me.She wanted to ensure that I was happy with how my food came out.I told her that I couldn't be happier.You can tell that Sweet, beautiful Irene is very passionate about her business, her customers and she puts an amazing amount of love into all of her meals.What an amazing super sweet and nice lady.I'm only going to be here for just a few days but I plan on eating here everyday if my schedule allows me to.

When here on a whim with my daughter as a treat. It was the best thing I have eaten in so long! I got the cashew nut with chicken and we finished with some of the Ube bread and it was all amazing, but something about the bread was just divine!

Lumpia was over cooked. They don't know the menu. Pad Thai was gross. Over cooked (mushy), way too sweet, and otherwise no favor ?
