International Market is a Thai restaurant near Belmont University with roots dating back to 1975. The restaurant blends longtime lunch traditions with a full-service evening menu centered on contemporary Thai cooking.
International Market was originally opened in 1975 by Patti Myint and operated for decades as a neighborhood restaurant. In 2022, the restaurant was relaunched by her children, Anna and Arnold Myint, working alongside two cooks from the original kitchen, reconnecting the space to its earlier history while expanding its scope. During lunch, the restaurant maintains elements of the original format, including steam-table offerings featuring fried rice and curry dishes. The daytime menu also includes established Thai classics such as pad see ew and drunken noodles, providing continuity with the restaurant’s long-running identity. In the evening, International Market shifts into a full-service restaurant with an expanded menu and a dedicated cocktail and wine program. Dinner offerings include a range of Thai dishes that combine traditional foundations with newer creations from Chef Arnold, such as fried trout laab, Thai-style fried chicken made with locally sourced ingredients, and dessert items like coconut custard banana brûlée pudding. The space supports both casual daytime meals and more structured evening dining, with service and pacing adapting to the shift between lunch and dinner. International Market functions as both a continuation of a longstanding Nashville institution and a modern Thai restaurant shaped by multiple generations.
