Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

I tend to get the rice noodle combination. if you like rice noodles, it's the way t go. Also their egg rolls are simply delicious

If you haven't been here, GO! This place is heaven! Cheapest and most delicious Vietnamese food I've ever had this side of the Mississippi. If you like bubble tea... They have it!
(5)Beidyuth G.
Decided to go here on an impulse, absolutely fantastic. Great food, brilliant ambiance, welcoming staff who took the time to explain different options!! I had the spicy lemon grass chicken and my girlfriend had the chicken combo soup which had shrimp,pork and duck. Both meals were incredible!! 5 stars in my book.

This little hole in the wall has pretty good pho and it is of decent serving size. However, the service was slow and bland. The waitress looked uninterested/annoyed when we waved for her attention. When I asked if I could substitute spring rolls for egg rolls for my combo, the answer was an absolute 'no' accompanied with an almost impatient eye-roll. Our drinks never came. Be ready to go up to the counter and ask for what you need or self-serve. Might opt for take-out next time around.

I love phoooo. I almost try every pho place around indianapolis area but this place pho was mediocre. I didn't like summer roll. Spring roll (fried one) was okay..... Also I have something to say about bubble tea... The person who was at the casher/ server made it in the kitchen, who knows if she washed hands after done with casher job. The tabiyocur didn't taste fresh and she put such a little amount of it that it barely filled the bottom. Of all, I will never have bubble tea again and maybe I'll have pho only when I'm really hungry.
(2)T Q.
5 stars for value,4 Stars for food and service. No 1 choice after K&T was permanently closed.
(5)The Most Interesting Man In The W.
After going back and forward between K&T, Sizzling Wok Hai, and King Wok. I've found King Wok, which is down the road, to be a better for dry Vietnamese dishes and K&T to be the best for soup dishes. The standout here is the Chinese lunch specials. Even then, King Wok is cheaper by about $1 for the lunch special. The soup here is loaded with MSG.

I tried this place about four years ago and was not impressed. I was in the mood for some bubble tea so I checked Yelp to see if it was sold close to where I work. I have only experienced bubble tea at The Doughnut Shop on Keystone Ave, not realizing I have been spoiled. I also has the spring rolls, egg drop soup, garlic chicken and egg roll. The spring rolls were not bad, the egg roll was good, the garlic chicken was just okay and the egg drop soup was no to my liking at all. The bubble tea came in about a 12 ounce cup with only a half dozen tapioca pearls and chunky ice. The Doughnut Shop gives you a cup twice as big with easily five times as many tapioca pearls, completely blended ice and is less $$. The only other complaint that I have about most of the ethnic restaurants in the Lafayette Square area is that they do not have a website, you cannot view the menu anywhere online, they don't have a fax in order to fax you a menu and cannot e-mail a menu to you.
(2)Benjamin B.
I've found better Pho elsewhere, but the Bun Bo Hue is pretty delicious here. It's a bit different from the one at Saigon, enough so that I practically consider them different dishes. The dining room is small, and the seats by the window are cold in the winter, but the service is pretty friendly and the soups are quite large. This is definitely on my regular rotation of vietnamese restaurants in the Indy area.
(4)Hannah C.
Soon after posting this review, the owner of the restaurant contacted me, apologizing. His attention to detail and good intentions shouldn't go unnoticed, especially since he informed me that he has addressed this issue with his staff. Of course, I can't speak for those that have read about my latest experience, but I do like their pho so I'll be back to give Sizzling Wok another chance.
(3)J Z.
This has been my favorite restaurant in Indianapolis for four years now, and I will tell you why: SOUR SOUP WITH SHRIMP. I will start by saying that I have never had any of their Chinese food. I've eaten here with people who have ordered fried rice or sesame chicken or what have you, and it never looked all that impressive. But the Vietnamese food, you guys, oh my GOD. I have had Vietnamese food at Saigon, King Wok, Viet Bistro, Sandra Rice and Noodle, and four or five other places, and I don't like any of them as much as I like this place. I do usually order the goi cuon, which are always fresh and accompanied by a little peanut-topped brown sauce that I end up eating with a spoon (I have low blood pressure, okay? Yeah. That.), but my favorite thing (even more than the delicious, delicious, delicious pho) is the sour soup with shrimp. If you order it, trust me, get a small. I haven't ever seen the large size, but it must come in a bucket. The small comes in this hot pot thing with Sterno smoldering underneath, and it makes a very satisfying crackling sound as you eat it. The soup contains tomato, pineapple, some kind of vegetable that kind of reminds me of celery if it was made of sponge, tomato, herby leafy bits, and the shrimp. It's a little sour, a little spicy, and it is so freaking good. I actually want to eat it right now. Too bad they aren't open at 5 am. I will warn you, the ambiance is...not awesome. It's kind of a seat-yourself place, and there are no tablecloths or anything. But! The food is TOTALLY worth it. I love the waitstaff and the cooks in the kitchen, who always wave hello to me. And by the way, I'm MSG sensitive, and maybe it's because I love this place so much, but I've never had a headache or anything after eating here. Very glad this place is in Indy. Love it!

In my quest for the perfect Pho that I had in Asia I gave Sizzing Wok a try. The Pho is ok, although lacking in all the necessary accompaniments. However on my first trip is was overshadowed by the yelling, laughing and loud banter coming from the kitchen. Our server was not friendly in the least and spent more time in the kitchen carrying on with the rest of the staff than in the actual dining area. I decided to give it another try and the service was more of the same. There is an overall feeling of disconnect, for lack of a better word. It was busier in the dining room than on my previous visit but I noticed that it was also visibly dirty; even as I peered into the kitchen when paying the bill. I think I will continue on my quest for better or for worse.
(2)Thomas C.
I am a certified Pho junkie - have been eating it at least once a week for about 15 years. I tried this place yesterday, and was very happy with the overall experience. Clean restaurant, very busy, and fast service, even though the lady seemed to be on her own. I would describe the pho as "solid" - no major flaws, well priced, and a nice portion size with lots of medium rare beef slices. It was a little bit on the lukewarm side, but other than that, I'd put it right up there with the best pho places in Indy. I'll definitely be back.
(4)Jon A.
I want this in our house. Exactly how it is... plopped on top of our garage, or in it... wherever. Bring all the tables, the perfect lighting, the buddha, the kitchen, everything. Especially bring that Bon Hue -- egg noodle pho w/ beef, tripe & pork. Now... it's not as spicy as I thought it'd be but I think that's because I forgot to point out that, however much I may seem like a token white guy, on the inside that I am not... I'm a fiendish street faring spice addict wandering in the woods of Laos, hoping to make it to Vietnam to fulfill my need for spicy pho. You did however fulfill my (daily) need for pho, and you did it with exceptional egg noodles. And you washed it down with fresh shaved coconut in water. I can't recommend this enough. I hate cracking coconuts or I'd have this at home all the time (and pre-packaged coconut seems wrong). It's perfect for spicy dishes. I had a vietnamese coffee (which I always feel weird ordering out loud at a Vietnamese restaurant... shouldn't I just say "coffee?"). I took it to go, and snuck it into a movie... I don't feel bad. I feel amazing. $7 giant pot of pho? Uh huh. This is good year round... but it's perfect for the winter. Just. Perfect.
(4)Adrianne W.
The pho, honestly, is my favorite in town. We walk in and they put our order in, even if we haven't been in months. Delicious.
(4)Beth B.
I adore this place! Service can be spotty but that's not what I come in for. I will tell you I've been several times and have had nothing but the pho so I can't review any other dishes. I can't rave enough about the pho. I always leave feeling like I'm going to burst! I always have to ask for extra live wedges but that's no deal breaker. Perhaps if I keep visiting, one day they'll recongnize my overwhelming need to limes :)
(4)Jason W.
Best PHO place in town. I've been going there for 10 years. I've been to other 'famous' PHO places in Chicago, Dallas, LA, SF, NY, DC, MN, TX, and this places in on-par with the best of them. Also, there are 3 other Vietnam restaurants around here, and I've been to all of them - By far Sizzling Wok is the best. Price is more than reasonable, and portion is generous. All of their Vietnam cousine is excellent, worth a try. Yes they do use MSG (EVERY restaurant uses MSG), but not nearly as much as other place. I'm very sensitive to MSG, and sizzling wok hai is not bad at all. One of the reason I like this place so much. Everytime I eat there, I always pay and tip them in CASH. People, you should pay CASH for these small, cheap, locally owned, mom&pop restaurants.
(5)Papa M.
Minneapolis has a large Vietnamese and Hmong population and the competition for pho is very high. Sizzling Wok's pho is just as good. The bun is good as well. Can't comment about their Chinese dishes (never tried them). The service is almost always good, except on very busy nights. Since there's only a single set of doors, as is in most small shops, it can get quite drafty and cold on some nights. That's why I try to sit as close to the kitchen as I can.
(4)Janet S.
This place is a favorite of mine...I come here with coworkers when we feel like taking a long lunch. Forget the "Chinese" part of the menu - what you are coming for is the Vietnamese food. Delicious Pho! Authentic and tasty, it rivals any I've had outside of Indianapolis. Noodle dishes are great too...everything is so fresh and cooked perfectly. Service is attentive - the server is amazing actually, she remembers what everyone likes to eat to the point we really don't need menus anymore. Try a Vietnamese iced coffee, they are yummy! And did I mention they serve bubble (boba) tea! Awesome! Highly recommended!
(5)Jessica B.
I loved Sizzling Wok!! In fairness to readers--I went in on a Tuesday around 3pm (today) so there were no patrons. I got my carry-out super fast. I asked the man running the place what he recommended, and got a very satisfying noodle dish with cucumber, bean sprouts, lettuce and a slightly spicy peanut sauce. I couldn't have eaten it any faster than I did. Frankly, I could have tilted my head back and poured the meal into my face. Need to try the Pho next time. Hooray!
(5)Elizabeth C.
The veg offerings are remarkably few... whatever options I've seen in other reviews are not offered anymore. After a long conversation I found something I could eat, and it was palatable, but it's not a happy place to go if you don't eat meat.
(2)Nick L.
This is a good find on the Westside. Great ambiance. A family owned venture with excellent Vietmanese and Chinese food. A small, but romantic hole in the wall. In a small strip mall on the corner of Georgetown and Lafayette Roads--easy to pass by, but don't.
(5)Ethan D.
I'm a man who likes spice. Whether it be spice in food, in a beer, in coffee, or in life. I like spice. Whether it be from a red chile, or in the simple form of salt and pepper. Being quite a spicy person, Pho is a natural gravitation for me. In my small hometown of Columbus, IN there is no Vietnamese food to be had. When I moved to Indy, Vietnamese was among one of the first ethnic foods I longed to enjoy. I tried one or two and settled on Sizzling Wok as my go-to spot. First off, it's really close to me which is an enormous plus. Second, the food and atmosphere are really nice. When you walk in you'll realize it's not tackily decorated and there are a few articles posted along the wall near the register which are praising the food served here. The first time I went there I ordered the Goi Cuon (Vietnamese spring rolls) and the rare pho. Both were very good. Spring rolls were nicely rolled, filled with fresh bean sprouts, and were served with a nice spicy plum peanut sauce. Pho was excellent. I've had some Pho which was obviously laced with a ton of MSG which I am very sensitive to. This Pho was laced with lovely spices, plenty of noodles and beef. Served with the obligatory "salad" which I added throughout the bowl. Overall this place rocks. After going there 2 or 3 times, the waitress already new my order by heart. I'd walk in, she'd come over and recite my order and I would nod enthusiastically, and minutes later I'd be downing spring rolls and slurping pho. Needless to say, my order hasn't changed much since the first time I went there. Goi Cuon and Rare Pho, some hoisin sauce and plenty of Sriracha with a generous spoonful of red chile sauce will satisfy the urges of any spice fiend like myself.

I've only eaten here once so far, so this review is subject to future revision. I had been reading all of the reviews about pho on this site and had developed the overwhelming desire to try it and try it now! So this weekend I visited Sizzling Wok. It was very nice inside. I ordered the rare beef pho, and was shocked at the size of the bowl. I ended up taking about a third of it home. (And I was thrilled to discover that the flavors had developed even more when I heated it the next day!) I really didn't look at the menu apart from the pho, but it seemed pretty big. A lot of the pages had typical Chinese dishes and as others have mentioned, that could be handy if your companions aren't adventurous with food. (The mere concept is unthinkable to me!) The hostess/waitress seemed to be on her own at the time, but there weren't too many tables with customers so that was no problem. She seemed friendly enough. The place looked very clean, which is always a plus. I'd never had any pho to compare this to, but I was very happy with the dish. It was quite flavorful. I'll definitely be hitting some of the other pho restaurants around the city to compare. Now that I've tried it, I'm hooked!
(4)Justin J.
Excellent food, excellent atmosphere in a small establishment.
(5)Chris C.
This is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Indy. It is one of a handful on Lafayette Road, but this is the best in my opinion. Please do not go here and get Chinese food, it is good, but you can pretty much get the same thing anywhere else. Most of the Vietnamese food that I have had is very good. My favorite is the spicy beef noodle soup called Bom Bu Hue. All of the fish dishes are tremendous too, very flavorful. Get the shrimp rolls as an appetizer you will not be disappointed. The Pho, which is the traditional vietnamese dish, is good, but I have had better but it is definitely worth a try. It is a small cozy little restaurant with usually just one server, but works hard and is very friendly. So go try something new, you will love it.
(4)Cessalee S.
FYI, they don't deliver :(
(3)Wendy S.
I really kinda love this place. I used to go to the location on 10th and Jefferson back in the day, and always get the lunch special- shrimp lo mein, wonton soup with extra crunchy noodles, egg roll- because I was non-adventurous. Now, I'm just as stuck in my ways, but my dish is catfish with ginger sauce, and it's right what it says on the tin- a whole fish, fried crispy, served with this wicked sauce that has chunks of ginger floating in it with red pepper flakes. Spicy? You betcha. Good? Oh my goodness, yes. Served with rice, it's the perfectly filling option for lunch or dinner. Plus, either bubble tea or soda lemonade, with crispy spring rolls- yes and yes. I just wish I lived closer or they had longer hours, but that's pretty much my complaint about every restaurant. I'm sad i don't get to eat here more often.
(4)Desmond W.
Welcome to the small yet lovely Sizzling Wok. When I first ventured into this cozy, small, family owned restaurant, I was amazed by the quality of the Vietnamse and Chinese dishes. I can't recall who referred me or what motivated me to eat here, however, I'm glad that I discovered this small gem. Their food is tasty whether you order Chinese or Vietnamese-and reasonably priced I must say. Their food items range from 3 to 17 dollars depending upon what type of appetizers or main dishes you order. They offer plenty of tasty lunch specials up until 3 p.m. For Vietnamese novices, I suggest the Pho Gha (Chicken Noodle soup); it's big enough to feed two people!
(5)Brown, C.
Definately has become a fast favorite of not only myself but most of my office as well! The Pho is outstanding! Great little family owned establishment, but I was very pleasantly suprised. Wait staff is great, they pretty much know our orders when we get there. And they have great bubble tea! Prices are very reasonable, and they always have a pretty busy dining room!
(5)Veronica H.
This is one of the best Vietnamese pho places in Indy! I go there very often and get the pho special and an order of gol roll (aka spring rolls). Super good! There also have special lunch menu for a good price, but it's Chinese food. I come here for PHO and pho only!
(5)Mike F.
As a big fan of Vietnamese and Chinese food, in addition to the restaurant coming highly recommended, I had expected my experience at Sizzling Wok to be extraordinary. It simply was not. As I walked through the door, the first thing I heard was rap music. When I am dining out, I expect there to be a certain relaxing ambiance. The rap music destroyed that. I could also sense a very angry vibe from our server. We were never welcomed to the restaurant, which I felt was uncouth. Much to my chagrin, I was informed that I would only be granted only one drink refill. Knowing how inexpensive fountain sodas are to serve, this further led to my distasteful view of the restaurant. We started with pork spring rolls. They were satisfactory and were generously portioned. However, they were crudely assembled and the ingredients of the sauce had not been completely mixed. For my main course, I ordered the Lemongrass Chicken. As I normally do, I asked that the dish be prepared with as little oil as possible. While the Leomongrass Chicken was tasty and large, it still contained too much oil and was overly salty. My brother ordered the Cashew Chicken. It was basically a large pile of fried chicken with some sauce on it. We had to hunt-and-peck to find an actual cashew. He was likewise "2-star dissatisfied." This establishment is clearly not as health conscious as its area competitors. Sizzling Wok is not a terrible restaurant. It is reasonably priced and the portions are large. However, it is merely mediocre. If you're in the mood for Asian cuisine on Indianapolis' West Side, you have many, truly outstanding options. I suggest skipping Sizzling Wok entirely.

I have been in town for over a week on business and I really needed chinese food so a quick search brought up this wokspot Well yeah it kind of has chinese but its really vietnamese. Normally I always have had Pho at these spots but they offered a wide range of other dishes to explore Chef Harry came here and has been operating this family mom and pop and (maybe kids too) for the past 35 years. I had a wonderful chat with him and you can feel a strong passion in what he does and the pride in his success. I started off with the sampler and you get a cheese stuffed item, a beef stuffed item, a skewer of grilled beef, a cabbage and beef stuffed egg roll , and another roll stuffed with ground beef. Sweet dipping sauce enhances the items Red Curry Chicken with rice Very flavorful with lots of veggies and chicken and enough sauce to dump your rice into to sop up all the delicious curry Do they really need a dishwasher if the plates get licked clean? I also had the cold Vietnamese coffee. Now maybe because I am in america things happen different but I got a soda cup with iced coffee. It was good and helped wash down the curry. However, i am used to the french coffee brewed on top of the cup with the condensed milk in the cup then stirred (with ice to chill it). Highly Recommended They do a lot of take out with customers popping in and out picking up called in orders
(4)Robin L.
Great hole-in-the wall local joint. I've only been here during lunch, but I can always find a seat and the location is pretty convenient from work. My go-to dish is the veggie pho. I can't say it's the most authentic pho broth I've ever had, but it is delicious and really hits the stop when you want a warm bowl of spicy soup. Price point is great. The spring rolls are also amazing. Not sure what the magic ingredient is, but holy smokes, they're fantastic.
(4)Danny V.
English is not the native language of this wonderful family business. It is vital to appreciate a Far East Asia culture experience shared with a dismal city as Indianapolis. When entering the harmonious and clean establishment, just smile. Remember you are their guests, your money is not worth disrespecting pride of the Vietnamese tradition. Don't act rude or ghetto. The charm that too many are obvious to will emerge and greet you with warmth, good spirits and a happy tummy. Order the dish as is! Do your research, there is something for everyone. Do foreigners come to Cracker Barrel and ask to substitute fish in the chicken pot pie? No! Fantastic restaurant. Thc ăn tuyt vi cm n bn

Love a good Pho and this was better then most I have found in Indiana. Service was a bit drab... but the food made up for it!
(4)Andrea C.
I love this place and often meet my sister here for pho lunch. Whenever we get there, we're immediately greeted and asked if we'd like 'the same thing'. The owner has memorized our order and it's just a treat to have her stop by and chat. She is wonderfully warm. We should probably get past the rare beef pho, and amazing spring rolls, but we just can't. Whenever we bring friends, they love this place too. The food is always fresh and prepared well.
(5)Scot C.
The other day, I got the hankerin' at lunch for some good Asian. Did a little investigating and the Sizzling Wok came up highly recommended. Took the short drive over and didn't know what to think going in... but, was pleasantly surprised. Let's dive in. First, the restaurant is very clean; I really like when a restaurant goes the extra mile to keep the place looking good. And for the typical Chinese/Asian restaurant, Sizzling Wok is ahead of the pack. Sat down and the server was very prompt, friendly, and communicated very clearly. I ordered some pork egg rolls to start and the duck soup with egg noodles (pho). The egg rolls were tightly packed and perfectly breaded, served with a nice red pepper sauce, these might be the best egg rolls I've ever had. The Duck Soup came out and was steaming with the savory smells of duck. This is served in a deep bowl with chop sticks and a nice serving spoon for finding those nice chunks of duck on the bone. The duck cuts are the cuts you would use for a stew; a bit tough on the bone, but packed with flavor. The mushrooms and noodles were very tasty, as well. Although I did not go with any of the lunch specials, it was a little pricier than I would have liked, but I did go with a hearty entree (the lunch specials are very reasonable, $5-$7). I might have those hankerin's for good Asian more often.
(4)David R.
Came with my family yesterday to eat pho - my parents were in town from out of state early that day and were famished. They are pho enthusiasts so I decided to check out this place: the crab rangoons were on point and the pho tai was delicious - the broth has a thick, rich flavor which I liked. The meat in the pho nam however was a bit too tough and had a weird smell to it, but it was still great aside from that. The lady was courteous and DID not delay in bringing out the dishes and other side dishes we had asked for (most pho places are very lacking when it comes to promptness). Overall I was pleasantly surprised to discover this hidden gem in Indianapolis. I will be back again in the near future.
(5)Scott P.
So this is a pretty sly little place to grab some ( obviously Vietnamese / Chinese ) food. The restaurant is clean, bathrooms are clean, neat decor. Widespread menu, though I can speak only of one item. That was a good bowl of motha pho. Ok, it was just pho, but yeah... Excellent serving size, nice plate of add ins. Could see the bottom, but didn't quite finish. That means I owe it another visit...
(4)Brandon S.
Lady working seemed to be unhappy we showed up. Had to go to counter twice once to order and once to pay. Cashew chicken sauce and breading were terrible. Beef spring roll was highlight of the meal and very cheap. The duck soup had severely overcooked meat and mushrooms in it and also I don't like that they add the cilantro, lime, onion, etc for you. Most places serve this on a side plate fresh. Fried wontons seemed handmade but didn't make them good. I would maybe go back to try other things but with the service lacking as well I found a better option down the street.
(2)M B.
Super good, super cheap. Found it on Yelp because I was craving Chinese - got the Mongolian Beef which was a very high quality, excellent meal for about $8. I'll be back for sure.
(5)Wanda M.
This is authentic Vietnamese & Chinese cuisines and a family owned business. I ate in this trip and ordered, of course, the Spring Rolls - Goi Cuon which has shrimp and pork with fresh vegetables and rice noodle rolled in rice paper. The side dish of Plum Sauce topped with roasted peanuts is DELISH as well. Have I told you I LOVE these??!!! Remember you can call ahead and just run in, grab these, for a quick snack or meal anytime. Next was the Spicy Noodle Pho Soup - Bun Bo Hue which is a spicy noodle soup served with beef, beef tender and pork. Of course, the soup is served with a side of fresh basil, bean sprouts, jalapenos, and fresh lime to add to your bowl and to your tasted. Yummy! The Pho Soup is served in ginormous bowls and wasn't as spicy as I like so I just added some hot sauce. The tender beef and pork soup was perfect for a cold rainy day. How they or anyone eats this soup with chop sticks is still a mystery to me. I'm SO terrible it's embarrassing. Others have commented on staff talking loudly when in back. I stepped around corner today to speak with the owner and the music was so loud you couldn't hear yourself talk. I think they don't realized how loud they are talking because of the music. The volume in dining area was fine with same music playing. I love eating in or carry out at Sizzling Wok and the service and food is great!

Rare beef salad (bo tai chan) - 4.5 stars Hu Thieu / Kuy Teav (Phnom Penh Noodles)...whatever you wanna call it - 4 stars Bubble drinks - 1 star - tastes very artificial as there is no real fruit included
(3)Mindy L.
Small & Family run. Make some really great soups. We end up here couple times a month. When my husband says spicy it is appropriately spicy. The restaurant is kept nice and clean.
(4)Tam L.
This is my 2nd visit to Indy and I have to say Indy has come a long way with introducing Vietnamese food to the Midwest. This place serves pretty darn authentic Pho. I even liked their Banh Xeo (Vietnamese savory Crepe like dish). They also serve Chinese food so you can bring the ones who are leary of trying Vietnamese food and baby step them into it.
(4)Linda S.
Bad service. Bad food (I ordered bun bo hue). I don't recommend this place. Not authentic by any means!
(1)Alexandra C.
Amazing west side pho place. Can't go wrong with any of their soups. Ingredients are always fresh and very flavorful. Went in there the other night for take out and noticed a lot of chat between the owners and people walking in, so must have a lot of regulars and that says something. Just bring a jacket if going on a cold day because the swinging door and a small restaurant equals super chilly inside.
(5)Veronica B.
Great priced and delicious food. I've had the Chinese plate specials, around $6 for soup, egg roll, and a main dish. Some of the more authentic dishes are my favorites, though. Catfish with ginger and fish in clay pot are both great, too.
(4)Chelsy N.
Wow, okay, so I pretty much fell in love with this place after having their chicken glass noodle soup as it is probably the best soup I've ever had ever. It's so flavorful, fresh, and hot and it makes me feel so right and healthy after eating it. They take such care cutting the carrots into cute shapes and they include so many fresh ingredients you can add like fried onion, jalapenos, bean sprouts, green onion, cilantro and oodles of glass noodles and more. It's an amazing dish, I have to have it at least once a month. Their bubble tea is good, but it has the consistency of a slushy and I prefer the smooth tea I get elsewhere, however I love bubble tea so I appreciate them having it. The woman that works mainly with customers isn't the nicest, but the food makes up for it.
