Man, this place has STEPPED IT UP! I hadn't gone in awhile just due to my preference for other Thai places. A few weeks ago I just needed Thai food ASAP and luckily, Satay Thai Grill works with Grubhub and offers delivery with no delivery fee ($20 minimum). My boyfriend and I got a Satay chicken appetizer, Pad Thai and Cashew Nut chicken - all great. MUCH better than I expected to be completely honest. I ordered again just last night (Drunken noodles with Tofu, Spice Basil Chicken, Panang curry bowl) and everything was pretty great. The veggies have been moved up into the fresh category! The tofu is sliced pretty thinly which I really like. The noodles get clumped up, but whatcha gunna do. The spices come in separate little containers so you can make it as spicy or mild as you'd like! Oh man I might be ordering take out from Satay Thai WAY too much now that I know it has improved this much! Great job!

Went here on December 30th after my boyfriend had picked me up from the airport. Honestly, since Clarksville has nothing even close to Thai food, it's a must when you're driving to, from or through Nashville and i yelped it and we went on our way. I was a little confused at the service of the restaurant because you order at the counter, then go sit down and they bring it to you. I was feeling a little frisky and wanted to try something new (other than the Pad Thai) and when we were in DC, my boyfriend had come across an interesting dish called "Crispy Basil Beef" and it was... the best thing we'd ever tasted. Sadly, they did not have Crispy Beef but they did have Crispy Basil Chicken and i got the Panag Curry. The food comes out in paper plates, which, oddly enough is the smartest thing i've seen a restaurant do. The prices are not expensive and honestly the food speaks for itself. When you know how to make Thai Food, you can pretty much serve it on a banana leaf and it'll taste amazing - which it was. The panang curry was delicious and perfect seasoned. The Crispy Chicken, for me, was not the best. It was simply ordinary for me, but my boyfriend liked it. I would still recommend Phooket but this is a close second.

They have bubble tea!! (drink with boba) And I really enjoyed their chicken pad see ew. It was delicious! They also do delivery within a 3 mile radius which is fairly unusual for a thai restaurant. And the owner is really nice. Also from the outside, this might appear drab, but its actually perfect for students or young people to go have lunch or dinner with friends. Its comfortable.

So bad. First: they put the salad in the same container as the hot food. It is obvious these people have never ordered delivery or they would know how disgusting warm iceberg lettuce is. Second: nothing is very good. The tom yum is downright disgusting and smells like rotten fish sauce. Yes, that bad. I will never eat here again.

I am a huge fan of Satay! Not the fanciest place in town, not even the most "legit" thai food, but for consistently delicious rice, chicken, and bubble tea? Satay is your place! Moderately priced (most entrees under $10 for full plates of food), basic but clean decor, quick service, and the most amazing peanut sauce (spicy but not too spicy) make Satay a great choice.

You know? I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and here is why... I work right next door. So after my wife and I clocked out, we went next door to get some chicken on a stick and crab rangoons (LOVE). Anyway, we go and it is like an explosion of people happened there. It was (at best) an hour wait. However the lady in charge was cool and calm and very fast...and....and...everything was accurate, hot and fresh. In the midst of all the people, long lines and people waiting on tables..they got everything right. Also on top of that they were friendly and so sweet. I will be back. Loved my experience, Oh! and the brown sauce...the best in town!!!!

Let's be clear, Satay Grill is neither the most authentic or mindblowing Thai place Nashville has to offer; however, when I'm looking for a quick-thai fix, it definitely delivers. I ordered a small Tom Kha soup and the chicken satay (comes with steamed or fried rice and side salad or spring roll). Both were delicious. The soup was the perfect mix of sweet and sour, and the chicken was moist and seasoned well. The peanut sauce that comes with the chicken was great, as well. I left feeling satisfied with both food and service, with my wallet only $10 lighter. Would come again!

Since joining Yelp approximately one year ago, I have been trying to conquer my food neophobia (the fear of eating new or unfamiliar foods) so it led me to try Satay Thai Grill & I am so happy I did. Satay is a small strip mall counter served restaurant with an extensive menu and reasonable prices. The staff was helpful, patient, and assisted with my many menu pertaining questions as needed. I decided to order the Satay Shrimp Skewer served with fried rice, a salad, and served with this delicious peanut sauce on the side. I sampled from my co-worker's plate 1 spring roll, 1/2 cream cheese wonton, & 1 pan fried dumpling. It was delicious as well. Our orders were ready in less than 10 minutes. The food was hot, fresh, well seasoned, & satisfying to my palate. Satay may not be as authentic as the other reviewers mentioned but for a Thai novice such as myself it was perfect & I had good experience.

A decent, fast food style Thai establishment with minimal seating near Vanderbilt. The service is quick and friendly. While eating in the restaurant with my father and roommate, we saw families, students, and regulars walk in constantly. You order at the counter, and the hostess will speed by with plasticware and paper plates a few minutes later. While popular and near-lightning speed, the food left one a bit wanting. My chicken pad thai tasted a bit ketchup-laden, but still quite tasty with a generous heaping of peanut sauce and spicy goodness. The chicken was a tad too stringy and dry for me. They offer some Vietnamese food as well, though my dad claims the pho is far from authentic (albeit quite delicious). I would say this place is a great deal, but lacks some freshness (ie: lime in the pad thai, variety of veggies in the salad, etc). Otherwise, the speed and seasonings more than make up for some minor issues.

I would love to review their food but I've been waiting an hour for a delivery that was promised in 30 minutes! After one hour, I called and they said the driver had left with my food and he would be here in 5 minutes. (They are a mile from my house.) They lied. It is now 90 minutes since I ordered. I called and the girl who answered the phone said they were very busy and the driver would be here in 15 minutes. Evidently, they do not care about delivery customers and walk-ins come first! Still waiting. My family is hungry and the kids should have been in bed by now. The order was placed at 6:40 pm and it was almost 8:30 when we finally sat down for dinner. Soup: cold. Rolls: cold. Curry, brown rice, vegetables barely warm but tasted all right. Spring rolls are supposed to be cold. Good thing. Not a good experience!
(1)Anthony F.
I rarely review but had to post how awful this meal was. Totally dry and gross. Avoid.
(1)Brandon F.
Solid Thai Food. I eat it about once every two weeks sometimes more sometimes less. The food always tastes great and is hot and made fresh. I wish there was more of a variety but the options they offer are good. Their spice rating it 1-5 they also offer Thai spicy if your into that sort of thing. So I say you should try Satay you will not be disappointed.
(4)Alexandra F.
Not really worth it thai food. The chicken was terrible. Had a nasty flavor and texture. The ordering at the front and then sitting down thing was awkward. I guess they don't have servers?! But it looked like a place that would have servers. It's a shame cause other things weren't too too bad. I went here for lunch with a friend. We both ordered pad Thai which came with a spring roll or salad. The spring roll was tiny and didn't seem too fresh. I say it's a shame cause the rice noodles were good! And I ordered a 5/5 for spiciness and the spice was there! Yum. But the dish was just kinda blah. And that nasty chicken. The place was very small. Nothing special there. Tiny two person tables. The girl at the front was nice and funny laughing at me eating the spicy noodles. It has a lot of potential, but I wouldn't go back.
(2)Mark F.
Not bad. Not great. Would eat there again. Got the pad Thai and cream cheese wontons. Price was Ok but I will checking out other Thai options around town.
(3)Lindsey S.
There are much better Thai places in Nashville, so we only have Satay when we want it delivered (which is often). The quality of the food has greatly improved in the last year. I like the panang curry, green curry and the fresh rolls the best. Their delivery times have been way too long lately. It's been nearly 2 hours the last two times.
(3)Sheena T.
A Thai place in Nashville that delivers and is close to my house?? Yes please!! I decided to call in an order for pick up to give them a try, and ordered the vegetable stir fry, green curry, and tom kha soup. They told me it would be ready when I arrived, so I waited about 15 minutes and made my way over. The girl at the front counter could not place my order once I got there and while trying to figure out what happened she was on the phone with a delivery order who got the wrong food (I'm thinking mine). Confusion ensued, and after waiting another 15 minutes I had my take out order. Someone (I think the manager) gave me a free bottled drink for my trouble. So I get the food home and the portions are small. Granted, these would be good for me eating alone, but I'm accustomed to a Thai feast with plenty of leftovers. However, it was only $21.00 for 2 entrees and a soup, so at least it was cheap! My green curry was spicy and had a good flavor, and so did the tom kha soup. However, the veggie stir fry was rather bland, but overall it was a decent meal. I would order from here again if it was delivery and I am feeling lazy, but if I'm going to make the effort to drive for Thai food, I'll go somewhere else.
(3)Nicole M.
Awful. The phad Thai was dry and flavorless. The potstickers were hard as a rock and the egg rolls were soggy. The panang curry was okay, but nothing I would go back for. Very disappointed overall.
(2)Jeff L.
The meats at satay are highly questionable. The only upside to this place is it's great sauces, but beware that they will be high in sodium and make you feel as bloated as ever. There is absolutely no reason why anybody would eat here instead of the other thai restaurants in nashville unless you are a student.
(2)Kerry V.
Not bad for a fast-food style thai place. Everything is disposable, including the styrofoam cups. Service was very good, food was decent.
(2)Kevin C.
A big Vanderbilt student spot since it is on the student dining card, decent prices too, so it sure beats the hell out of Best Wok. This place has some solid Panang curry, although the chicken is a little on the off side. I'm not sure exactly what it was with the taste, maybe just a slight aversion to dark meat on my part. Also, the preponderance of paper plates and cutlery makes me wonder how their prices are so reasonable, literally everything is paper plates and plastic forks. You would think a restaurant would naturally just use dishes, but it does look like a small kitchen. The egg roll is sinfully delicious, in that deep fried crispy kind of way. So go ahead and splurge calorically on it, you'll enjoy it. I'll be back here again, if not for the Panang, then maybe to try the Black Pepper crab.
(4)Vikram S.
Pad Thai had very little chicken. And what ever chicken there was it was hard. Lichi tea was great.
(2)Jeremy Q.
Great for price and friendly service. We got the chicken pad Thai, it was simple but good. Good was ready in about 10 minutes. I'll come back if in the area.
(3)Marcia M.
Easy and cheap. Two words that any respectable broad would never like to be linked to, correct? However, I'm A-OK when these references are used to describe a convenient Thai joint. Satay Thai Grill is sandwiched in the small shopping strip on Elliston that is next to Logan's Road House and Centennial Park. A Smoothie King, Roma Pizza, Calypso Cafe, and Edible Arrangements (sigh) share the strip. Once you walk in, you order from the counter and food is out in less than 10 minutes... ta-da! I ordered the Drunken Thai Noodles with Tofu and requested that my order be extra spicy. For $8.30 including tax, my mouth was ablaze and I also enjoyed a spring roll too. (you may choose between a salad or spring roll with the price of your entree) Not too shabby. Is it the best Thai that I have ever had? No way. I'm a loyalist to Thai Phooket. However, the location is convenient to my place and the price respects the budget too... I'll definitely hit this up again but most likely for carryout only. The space doesn't offer much in ambiance, if you know what I mean. TIP: They also serve bubble tea here.
(3)Micheal P.
need some mediocre thai delivered to your house for free?* yeah. sometimes you do. order some pad see ew and some coconut sticky rice and spend the night watching movies and stuffing your face with carbs in your pj's. It's fine as long as you don't expect much. *if you live within 3 miles of the restaurant.
(2)Misty M.
Only tried their bubble tea, but it tasted just like syrup. I had the lychee and my husband had the watermelon, but both were like plain syrup. :(
(1)J C.
Meh. The pad Thai noodles were really rubbery and the soup was served lukewarm and with a very noticeable fish taste. I'm putting it on the list of "oh well, at least I tried somewhere else".
(1)Nate S.
3/5 stars because the food overall is very good! The owner and employees are nice. Food is fresh and hot! I work nearby and eat there occasionally. I love any type of Asian food- and if you do you know that Asian restaurants here in the US are very much hit-or-miss as far as quality. This place, for the most part is a hit! 2 stars knocked off for two main reasons- they have a soup they bring out with many meals that smells pretty bad and tastes even worse! The rest of the food I've had there is great, except for this dog food resemblant food! Other reason for a lower mark is because parking, depending on the time of day, can be very difficult to find near that area. Overall, I approve of the restaurant!
(3)Caroline M.
Food took TWO HOURS to deliver and was told it would take 45 minutes. When the food arrived it was cold and just not good at all.
(1)Brian B.
Food was average... I have had Thai all over the world and Satay was more like a fast food Thai place. Everything served on plastic. For the $10 for lunch I expected a little better quality of food.
(3)Jamie A.
I'm bumping Satay Thai up a star. I placed our usual delivery order online and shortly after missed a call from them (totally my fault). They were out of Coke and wanted to find out what our second choice would be. After not answering the first time, they could of just thrown in a sprite (or just omitted the drink), but they actually called back before the driver left the shop to try again. We ordered an unsweet tea, and they actually delivered a fresh brewed iced tea in a sealed cup. Pretty freaking cool! Food was delicious. My green curry was perfectly spiced. I also appreciated them throwing in a couple of cups of chile sauce to up the spice if needed.
(4)Sarah B.
We ordered delivery from GrubHub and it was 35 minutes late. I ordered the Pad Thai with a salad and they came in the same box, so the salad was warm, wilted and nasty because if it. The Pad Thai was OK, but would have been better if it had showed up on time and was fresh. My husband had the green curry and he liked it alright. Will probably try again because it's the only Thai place that delivers around here... hope it's better next time!
(3)Dee a.
Picked up an order of satay shrimp with peanut sauce. Good amount of food, good price and was freaking delicious. We'll definitely be back
(4)Nickie G.
Since Rotier's was closed we walked over to Satay for some late lunch/early dinner action. I love chicken satay so figured it would be right up my alley. Think of this place as a fast food-fast takeout Thai place. The menu is quite limited....some rolls and dumplings on the appetizer side, a couple of soups, satay (beef, chicken, pork are all options) with white or fried rice or noodles, some curry dishes, pad thai, etc. You order at the counter and pay at the counter and then wait for your food to be brought out to you. We got the dumplings and I honestly can't remember what was in it but they were tasty. Came with the most tiny container of dipping sauce possible - increase dipping sauce sizes or give me two! The shrimp spring roll looked to be typical of a spring roll but I don't really like shrimp that much so I didn't try it. Chicken satay was good. Four skewers of chicken on noodles with a side container of peanut sauce. The peanut sauce had a mildly spicy peanuty flavor and they did give a bigger container of this. I could definitely have eaten more of it though. The meal also came with a salad that I didn't even bother eating though it looked fresh. Prices were pretty decent - spent about $25 for two people to eat. After eating I decided to try a boba tea - the tea that has the tapioca balls at the bottom. I got the pineapple and it tasted pretty much like a pineapple smoothie...until you got the tapioca. It was a bizarre thing chewing those balls (that's what she said?). They didn't really have a taste to be honest, so I thought the drink could have stood on its own without them. I think I'll have to try more boba tea at other places before I decide if I like it or not. I think if you come here craving quick and easy satay then you are going to be satisfied. It isn't going to be the best Thai food ever, but it will work when you need it quickly.
(3)Clay P.
Cheap and quick and average food - food was 3 service and owners are 5. Green curry bowl chicken was good and love that bubble tea .
(3)Sai Aung L.
I love this place so much. I ordered chicken curry with rice and tom yum soup. The food that I ordered was amazing. I feel like I was taken back to Thailand during having meal. Although most people order to take out, the restaurant still has decent space and enough tables for at most 15 people to dine in the place. The service is very great and the staff are outgoing. The food was ready really fast. I would remind you that when you ordered something, please take the spiciness of the meal to its lowest. I would totally recommend bubble tea and ice-cream, especially coconut ice-cream. Amazing food at decent Thai restaurant. I would go back next time again if I am in Nashville.
(5)Linda A.
Stopped in here for lunch with no expectations. I ordered the grilled chicken/brown rice with peanut sauce and it was pretty darn good! There isn't anything really special here but for a quick lunch, it was just fine.
(3)Nishma S.
I usually don't write reviews, but I completely disagree with the other reviewers on this place. I lived in the bay area for years, and I've found that decent Thai food is really hard to come by in Nashville. This is the only place in Nashville where I will order Pad Thai. It's not the best Pad Thai I've ever had, but it's definitely the best Pad Thai I've had in Nashville. The green curry is pretty good. I order everything 5/5 spicy, and I find that the spice is right on! Other pluses: it's cheap, and they deliver (with a $20 minimum).
(4)Nicole S.
Tofu Pad-Thai is my favorite, full of flavor. The portion is HUGE, so I usually feel about 10 pounds heavier after eating here. Friendly service, though I almost always opt for to-go!
(4)Elvira G.
Dumplings, 3 small soups, one satay combination and 3 cokes: over $26. Adequate taste but overpriced for plasticware and zilcho ambience.
(3)Lauren N.
I'm giving this place 5 stars because of the green curry. Its one of my favorite foods on earth, this particular restaurants curry. I have eaten here at least 50 times and mainly only get the curry because it is amazing!! As a spicy food lover, the curry as hot as they can make it is a dream.
(5)Kim U.
I was hopeful about this place after hearing good things online, but unfortunately I thought the food was fairly "meh". We tried the following for dinner tonight: spring rolls, tom ka kai soup, chicken satay, and the chicken bun. All of that came to around $20. The best item was the spring roll, which was fairly average and came with standard duck sauce. The tom ka kai soup had separated somehow & I only took a bite or two before giving up on it because it just tasted yucky. The chicken satay was good but not great. The peanut sauce that came with it barely had any spice and the chicken satay itself didn't have a lot of flavor. The satay came with the choice of white rice, brown rice, or noodles. We picked the white rice which, like everything else, wasn't particularly special. The chicken bun was not really what I was expecting - it looked a bit like a chicken sandwich, not the steamed bun I expected. The form factor of it was fairly awkward to eat. The sauce on the bun wasn't remarkable and needed more flavor. While the owner seemed fairly nice, I just can't rate the food more than 2 stars.
(2)Allison N.
We were very hopeful that this would be a close to home (Sylvan Park), reasonably priced, take out Thai. We were very disappointed. The Tom Yum soup was unlike any I have ever had, with tomatoes floating in it. Weird flavor, couldn't finish it The Pad Thai was a huge disappointment, it was rice noodles with 2-3 sprouts on it and grilled chicken breast sliced and laid on top. All of this was laid on top of a bed of chopped lettuce????? We asked for medium spice and were given a separate small container of hot sauce. We will not be back, nice people, but substandard Thai.
(1)Brian T.
Popped in for some food to go with our smoothies earlier this week. Don't usually write reviews, but thought the chicken satay and peanut sauce was good enough to warrant one.
(4)Ryan B.
First of all, they have bubble tea--which is the best. I had a chicken bun sandwich which was really good, but I have a feeling other dishes would have been better. The service wasn't the friendliest, but was efficient. I would go back every now and then if I lived close. Also, a little overpriced.
(3)Beth W.
True Satay. I'm happy. Takeout is easy, abundant and fresh. My fave is the shrimp w/ red curry and noodles. But the chicken with peanut sauce is very tasty as well.....oh, but the hubby loves the pork satay with sesame ginger. Okay, that's almost the whole menu. Seriously, you can't go wrong!
(4)Tart L.
Sengthong Prasertsinh cooks great barbeque thai on a bamboo stick for Nashville. His satay is grilled meat on a skewer with just the right amount of tumeric. I like lots of peanut oil on mine. I need that extra moisture. The mango ice cream and the yummy Tom Yum shrimp soup are among the limited other offerings. But people come for the satay. In addition to peanut you may choose sesame ginger, panang or curry sauces.
