King Market Cafe

Nashville


An authentic Southeast Asian cafe set inside an Asian grocer in the Antioch Pike area – an east Nashville suburb where the city suddenly seems much less homogeneous. It does noodle dishes, soups, curries and stir-fries, a Thai-style country pork sausage, deep-fried mackerel, and adventurous eats like fried pork intestine. Worth a trip.
