Our History
Fulin’s Asian Cuisine began with a dream. In 1993, David Lin moved from China to New York City seeking a better life. Working in restaurant kitchens, he learned cooking, customer service, and how to run a restaurant. His goal was to bring authentic Chinese flavors to the community.
In 1999, David, his wife, and son Brandon moved to Nashville. David worked at a local China Buffet and eventually became a partner, managing several locations. These experiences shaped his vision for something different in fine dining.
In 2004, David opened the first Fulin’s in Brentwood, TN. Unlike a typical buffet, Fulin’s offered hand-made dumplings, scratch-made sauces, wok-cooked dishes, and a full sushi bar. Elegant décor and superior ingredients set Fulin’s apart from others.
Our Concept
Fulin’s is family owned and deeply rooted in tradition. Bamboo lanterns, red booths, calligraphy, and authentic décor complement dishes prepared by hand. Every meal reflects skill, care, and dedication to authentic Asian flavors.
Fulin’s quickly became a Southern favorite. Today, you can visit or order online from locations in Brentwood, TN; Decatur, AL; Madison, AL; Cleveland, TN; Hendersonville, TN; Knoxville, TN; Mt. Juliet, TN; Murfreesboro, TN; Ooltewah, TN; and Spring Hill, TN. Each location delivers the same high-quality food and excellent service.
Fulin's Legacy
In 2012, David’s son Brandon joined Fulin’s with a marketing degree from NYU. He brought fresh ideas and a vision for growth while honoring the family traditions. Together, the Lin family ensures every dish is authentic and served with care.
