Best beef pho I’ve had in Lebanon! The food tastes homemade, not like an usual restaurant meal. It honestly felt like I was eating at someone’s house. It was cold and raining outside, and their pho made me feel so warm and cozy. Such a familiar, welcoming place. I’ll definitely be back!

Dak Der is an awesome Thai Lao restaurant that has a great chef and a great. They are truly one of a kind and the epitome of a unique small business. I love supporting people that put passion into their work and that’s what you’ll find here! I’ve tried almost everything on the menu and it’s impossible to pick a favorite!

What a hidden gem! I was looking for something on my way into Nashville, chose this because of all the 5 star reviews and convenient location. They had a daily special today that the chef/owner convinced me to try. I have never had such flavor!! I also got the BBQ pork buns and Thai tea. Everything was delicious, freshly and quickly served. I was even brought a slice of home grown melon before my meal. I was the only customer eating in, I'm sure due to my 3 pm stop, so both the owner and his daughter visited with me, making me feel like a guest in their home. I will definitely return the next time I come to Lebanon! Thank you for the delicious meal and enjoyable company. My soul and tummy left happily filled!

Had the drunken noodles, spot on! Came for the pork buns after a friend told me about them. Delicious. I could eat a dozen of these babies! Just good food and the people that own/work there are so nice and friendly. Came out to talk to us and made sure we got the right level of spice. The half Vietnamese tea/coffee was great.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious – honestly the best noodles I’ve ever had. You can really taste the difference when food is made fresh, and the owner personally made sure everything was perfect. It has that wonderful home-cooked quality that’s so hard to find these days. Being a family-owned business, you can feel the care and pride they put into every dish. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

While this may be a small and unassuming place. Don’t let it fool you on its food. The menu is small but the quality is in point. The food is hand made. Chef cuts his own and uses his own seasonings. These are his creations. Not ready made from a bag. We ordered the SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN , TERIYAKI CHICKEN, PHO , FRESH ROLLS WITH BBQ PORK, SPRING ROLLS. Portions are generous and prices very fair. Lovely owners who take pride in their service.
