A great little family run restaurant just outside of downtown Franklin that is very cozy if you dine in, or you can easily get items to go and sit at some of the tables on their porch or take it to a nearby park. All food items were cooked fresh to order and served steaming hot! While this may be a fusion Asian restaurant where all the items are very good, I recommend focusing on the Thai menu items as the family owners/cooks are Thai, and this I personally think that may be their better dishes, but all are great. The restaurant is in an old house with parking in the rear, and I recommend not just driving by, but stopping in to this little gem that is hiding in plain sight. The prices are reasonable for the portion sizes.

Called and got chicken pad Thai, tonkatsu, crab Rangoons, and pork gyoza and let me tell ya. 5 stars isn’t enough. Dude was super nice on the phone and repeated the order to me, made sure I knew the price, and told me my food would be ready in 15 minutes. It was. He let me know the broth was separate and he put some chili oil on the side in case I wanted to add some heat to it. Everything looked so great I forgot to take pictures but it was fantastic. Tons of meat in the pad Thai, healthy portions in the ramen, gyoza was perfect and the rangoons were crispy. 10/10

I’ve been a regular for the past few years, and this family owned and operated business never disappoints. If you’re looking for authentic asian food, there is none better in the area. Bold statement…I know. The miso ramen is some of the best that I have ever had, and if ramen isn’t your jam, there are plenty of other fantastic dishes. We also frequently order the chicken pad thai and chicken teriyaki. Everything is made to order so it’s always fresh, and they will make anything as spicy as you want. Maki, keep doing what you’re doing!

One Star for service NOT food! This place stopped offering indoor seating because they made the eating area a desk/STUDY AREA that used to be a dining area. I wonder IF they LIVE here?!!We stopped by to order a dinner and noticed "please wear a MASK" sign on the front door which we thought was odd. The guy/cashier/chef met us at the cash register. He stated that there were NO menus, and that we would have to look on our phones on Facebook or on the wall to see what was available to order! He said we could go outside to look over the menu. Right-BYE BYE!! He also informed us that it would be at least 45 MINUTES to get our food because he just received a large order on the phone--I guess he couldn't handle extra orders at this time! HIRE more cooks! It appeared that he was the only ONE there as there was only ONE car parked in the back. We were disappointed that we were not able to order. Perhaps he did us a favor ! It seemed like he wanted to turn away our business, and sadly I don't think that we have a reason to ever want to come back! Plus, they act like like they DON’T want you back !!AfTER 8 it’s BEDTIME- it closes.Or is THIS a REAL business!!???IS this The Twilight ZONE!!?:(.

Awesome little noodle spot. I loved it. Food was really good. Vegetables were super fresh and delicious. Staff was very nice and helpful. I have dietary restrictions and they were super helpful in figuring out my order.Dietary restrictions: My son is vegan. He had a vegan bowl right off the menu and loved it. I am gluten free - they worked with me to substitute rice noodles for my dish. Staff was helpful.

Dont pass this place up. Its still take out only but, its fantastic. The pad thai is probably the best I've ever had. The Ramen was great too.
Delicious! We ordered carry out for the first time tonight and we're very pleased. We'll definitely eat here again.

Brilliant food. I get tonkotsu ramen every time, it's just amazing. Their ramen is unbeatable. And the lady is very up front with wait times which Is important to me because my lunch break is short otherwise I would be here all the time...

Food was really good. I wish they had options that ranged in the $6-$10 range to mix and match for single serve options. Then I'd go there more.*Also, covid is over and masks do not work. So to have a sign up to wear a mask is a negative for me!

I wouldn't go here to get Thai food. I went there to get take out and waited forever for someone to come out. The lady did not say a word to me so I decided to just start ordering even though she hasn't greeted me. I ordered fried rice because its the safest option there. Not a lot of people know Thai food in this area so yeah how do you mess up a fried rice right? ... fried rice came out wet and drown in oil. I got 4 pieces of chicken in there. Service was bad. Food was even worse.... $12 for a fired rice that I Didnt get full.

Only one visit. The place is not inviting. The exterior is a residence converted to a business. Big sign on the front door "take out only". Once you enter tables are pushed to the side and the menu is plastered on the wall as 2 dozen sheets of paper. Food was good but we were forced to eat on the cramped porch or take it home. Wait seemed longer than I would expected but I wasn't running a stopwatch. Honestly no reason to return as there are plenty of eat-in alternatives. Price seemed high, but portions were large.
