The International Market was founded in 1975 by Win (1932-2019) and Patti Myint (1945-2018) to spread the culture of Thai food and provide “a welcoming space for neighbors, day laborers and culinary tourists to experience one of the earliest multicultural dining experiences in Nashville,” according to the restaurant's website. When Patti passed away in 2018, the International Market closed its doors, but in 2021 the sister-brother duo Anna (1985- ) and Arnold (1977- ) Myint reopened the restaurant with the same passion. They moved across the street from the original restaurant, but kept the booths customers adored and extended the menu and added a sign that says “Be Good” in remembrance of their mother.
