While visiting friends in the area, I was able to try this Vietnamese restaurant. The menu was very expansive, with about 164 items. A lot of the things on this menu often aren't found all in one restaurant, so that was a perk. I am visiting with a friend who is used to eating home cooked Vietnamese food, and he was impressed with the length and variety of the menu. Tried the Canh Chua today, which is a dish I have come to like a lot over time. The tamarind flavor is unique and yummy. Also the spring rolls were good, and so was the avocado shake.
Thumbs up from me for a good Vietnamese restaurant in the area.
Great Vietnamese food. Very generous portions. I'm Chinese and not Vietnamese so I don't feel entirely qualified to judge how authentic it is. However, I see a lot of Vietnamese patrons when I go so that gives me some level of validation.
The boba teas are not that great. The tapioca balls are too hard - the balls should be quite soft. Other than that, everything is great.
Another great authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Indy, not the greatest ambiance but it reminds me of most all Vietnamese eatery's in the Southwest and West coast - big open spaces with lots of tables, TVs on the wall and not much privacy or dividers. Â
The usual Vietnamese staples such as Cha Gio and Pho taste pretty much identical to that found in other authentic restaurants, which is not a negative at all. Stepping in this place and tasting that Pho and suddenly I'm back in Houston's Belaire Chinatown.
I am a big fan of Vietnamese food, and am always pleased to experiment with different restaurants. Â I visited Saigon Restaurant in December 2012 with a big appetite. Â I tried several selections, and found all to be excellent. Â The service, however, seemed to be the restaurant's downfall. Â It took entirely too long to be served. Â This, however, will not deter any future visits. Â If you are looking for a solid and authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Indianapolis, I'm sure you will find Saigon to be an excellent choice.
Review Source:Mediocre at best. Service is so-so; pho should be hard to mess up but for the price, the meat was scant and the soup was not well seasoned. I'm used to getting spring rolls with delicious sauce that accompanies it, but there wasn't that here... may have been off day; I give every place 3 tries.
Review Source:This place  got great reviews, so we thought we would stop by. We were a little put off by the location and the building, as it is obviously an old Bob Evans. Don't let these things distract you from the excellent food inside!
The Pho and Banh Mi were both great, and I had another noodle dish with chicken and peanuts that was tasty. The biggest bowl of Pho is a lake of The servers were friendly and fast and adequately attentive.
I like seeing local restaurants takeover the buildings of old chain restaurants. This is especially true when the new restaurant beats the pants off of whatever corporate place was there beforehand.
I used to go here when I lived close to 38th street a couple years ago and then I moved away. Once I came back I found that they'd moved to a new location in what seems to be an old Bob Evans. Thankfully, the food seems to have survived the move without incident. The Banh Mi sandwiches are still great according to my wife who can never seem to resist ordering one if it is on the menu. I like the Pho with meatballs, but my true love here is the Bun Bo Hue. They have my favourite that I've found in the city thus far. Fantastic spicy rich broth, chewy chunks of fat and what I believe to be tendon. Rich tasty beef. I love it all.
The cha gio here are delicious, enough so that I usually order two orders.
The service can be a little slow in the off hours, but I don't really mind that.
2nd time at their new location. Â My wife and I went with our daughter-in-law and grand daughter. Â Most of the other quests seemed to be eating Pho. Â We went for something more interesting. Â Whole fish in Vietnamese tomato sauce, sweet our pineapple with shrimp hot pot and BBQ beef! Â As always Export 33!
Two large screen TVs with the final Sunday night game.
Portions were small relative to other Vietnamese restaurants, but it should be noted that a "super bowl" size is offered for ~$4 more.  Flavor was good and on par with many others.  A bit on the pricey side though for the portion size.  Not the kind of place you go to for ambience or decor  It was likely previously a Bob Evans and Saigon has done little to change that appearance.  Menu does offer many items that are not standard on other Vietnamese places which seems to make this a good place for the adventurous palette.
Review Source:We get take out from here a couple times a month. The beef and flank pho is out of this world. DAT BROTH. My girlfriend and I usually get that and two chicken bahn mis. Â Our food is always ready on time and absolutely delicious. Â They never skimp on the veggies (jalapenos, sprouts, basil) which are always fresh, and the prices are completely reasonable. Â I've never eaten in the store, but it is always spotless when I go in to pick up my food, and the staff is always friendly. Â Couldn't ask for more when it comes to Vietnamese food!
Review Source:Saigon Restaurant is a converted Bob Evans restaurant - I think. Finally I have a reason to appreciate Bob Evans Restaurants.
The place is spacious, has a dining bar, lots of booths and is squeaky clean inside. It's located about 2 blocks from Saraga Market, so I've got a pretty good idea where they get their ingredients. There are over 150 items on the menu, but as is typical, many of the items are variations on a theme. The entire menu can be found here: <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.saigonrestaurant-indy.com%2FMenu_SDQX.php&s=c239c71bdfb4b3494f28031faaea7818b9e335c9b6a5258435b3e06f423ea635" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.saigonrestaur…</a>.
I got the Bun Thit Nuong (Vermicelli noodles with grilled meats - served cold) and sampled the egg roll Pad Thai, crab and asparagus soup, mushroom soup and red curry - all were above average and the Bun Thit was incredible.
As for value - again incredible - two lunch specials and a main course with drinks was less than $30.
I'll bump this up to 5 stars after one or two more visits.
Our first clue that things were going to be alright here was the influx of many Asians coming to dinner. You know it makes you feel better to see that. It was nice to find a decent Vietnamese place in Indy while in town for work. The Bun Bo Hue (beef noodle soup) was savory and a little spicy, the pho was fine, but the goi ga (shredded chicken and cabbage salad) was just swimming in nuoc mam, when it really should just be lightly flavored with it. Otherwise, the decor was nice, the service was fine, and there was even some funny people watching. There was a non-Asian family celebrating the wife/mom's birthday and the husband was explaining loudly to the table that Saigon was a city in "Vietnamese", then proceeded to explain this to the Vietnamese server as well! Thank-you, clueless guy, for the show with my dinner!
Review Source:Do yourself a favor and start off with the #16 appetizer, officially known as "Saigon Appetizer Sampler" (egg roll, spring roll, crab Rangoon, dumpling, rocket shrimp, grilled beef lemongrass and grilled pork spring roll). If I were to title this appetizer, it would be something along the lines of "conglomeration of sheer brilliance." For those of us who are allergic to seafood, the diversity of this appetizer still leaves enough room for plenty of experimentation.
Pho, or shall I say "pho-cking" amazing bowl of noodles? I might be putting myself in a bit of a rut, but I keep going back to the beef pho with jalapenos, basil, lime and bean sprouts. The sprouts add a surprising kick of spice that I welcome with open arms. My advice: get the larger version ($11) split it with your dining companion and still have enough for another meal the next day - - extennndddd the food celebration.
Bebidas: I still haven't tried any of the alcoholic beverages, but I can vouch for the oh-so-refreshing jasmine tea. I am guilty of adding a couple packets of sugar to this light-on-the-flavors drink.
Best part: If you are new to the world of Vietnamese food, the waiters are extremely helpful in explaining everything on the menu and willing to share their personal preferences. No "I dunno's" and "I like everything's" to be found here.
Oh Saigon! I think it's time you know: the verdict is out and you are one of my top 5 favorite restaurants in Indy! This is getting pretty serious...
We're in town for the Super Bowl and, each year, try to eat at a local Vietnamese restaurant to compare it back home in VA. Â With all the good reviews on Pho, I decided to order one(the Specialty). Â We also ordered the combination appetizer platter. Â I am sorry, but this is the worst Pho that I have ever eaten. Â I couldn't even finish it, that's how bad it is since I always try to finish my food no matter what. Â
I feel bad for the locals since they're probably never been to Bolsa in CA, Houston, or Virginia. Â Trust me, once you try the Pho or even the food in other places, there's no way you can come back here and rate this high. Â But when you hardly have any Vietnamese restaurants in Indy, I don't blame you.
Do not be put off by its location or exterior appearance. Â This place really delivers some of the best pho. Â We moved here from DC and I was sad to leave my old pho stop. Â I came her on the chance that the exterior would not compare to the pho.
WOW. Â I LOVE the chicken pho. Â It never fails to be excellent. Â Every time I get it I am happy. Â The broth stays piping hot until I get home. Â The food is excellent. Â
Obviously the ambience is not why you go here - it looks like it was a Bob Evans or something similar. Â But it's clean and the staff is very friendly. Â This is one of my favorite places to frequent.
The five star rating is for their Bun Bo Hue. Â It's the best in the Midwest. Â I've tried several places in Chicago hoping to find a Vietnamese restaurant that would be up to par. Â I have yet to find one. Â The broth is perfect, and the accomodating staff will take out any of the meats (a variety is included) you don't want. Â
Their Pho is good, but Eggroll #1 leaves them in the dust.
This is a remodeled Bob Evans so you can imagine how huge the place is. Â It's not a pho house...it's a pho mansion.
It's fairly new, so it's super clean inside and well-appointed. Â There is plenty of seating (as you can imagine) and can easily accomodate large groups. Â There's even counter seating (a carryover from the building's Bob Evans days). Â I went for lunch on a Thursday and only one side of the seating area was being used. Â That's not to say it wasn't busy, because it was.
On to the food. Â I had the pork spring rolls as a starter which were quite fresh and tasty. Â Of course I had pho for my entree. Â All the bowls come in 2 sizes ($8 for the medium, and $11 for the large). Â I opted for the medium as I had an appetizer.
Pho is all about the broth. Â Saigon gets it right. Â Savory and slightly sweet, with a little oiliness.
During weekdays there's a $5 lunch special which comes with soup which I will have to try next time (if I can resist the pho).
Edited to say: Â This used to be a Bob Evans. Â Just to clear that up. :)
I'm so glad I finally went to Saigon!! Â My brother, who has only been back in Indy for 2 years after living away for about 15 years, even tried it before me. (that rat bastard) Â So he treated me and his family to apps & pho last weekend. (that sweet prince)
The regular size bowl of pho is huge!! Â I can't imagine what the large looks like. Â Do they just bring it out in a Dutch oven? I'd like to think so. Â I got the beef noodle pho, though I was willing to be a little more adventurous and go with the soup that has more of the guttyworks in it like tripe and whatnot. Â Maybe next time. Â The soup is sooooo soothing and good, and I can't wait to go eat it on a freezing winter day with some hot spring rolls and maybe some tea. Â I didn't know what to expect on the flavor, and I'm still not sure what complexities I was tasting, but it was salty but with a hint of some sweet spice like cinnamon or nutmeg. Â I'll allow someone to correct my unrefined palate.
Will go back. Â Boioioioioioioingggggg
HOT POT!
Oh hot pot, today, when it is so cold and dreary, I really, really wish I had another of you to warm the cockles of my heart.
When I saw all of my Yelp friends had already been here and thought it was awesome, I knew I had to come try it out. Â I was certainly not disappointed. Â The ambiance here is a little weird, I think it's an old Perkins or something, but that is more than made up for by the food. Â I ordered the vegetarian hot and sour soup hot pot. Â It came in a big stainless steel bowl that rested over an open flame to keep it warm (see photos). Â This was then ladled onto vermicelli noodles, and then put in my mouth. Â This was a ton of food. Â I ate it all. Â I also got a thai tea bubble tea which was almost like a bubble tea milkshake and was really good. Â Â
I want to bring my husband back here asap, as I went with a friend. Â I was just there last night, but if he wanted to go this weekend, I happily would. Â In fact, if he wanted to go right this second, I still would. Â With bells on.
I haven't eaten at this restaurant since it it moved to its new location on 38th St. Â I will have to come back and try the other items on their extensive menu, but here's my opinion so far.
The Best: Â "Mi Tom Thit" = Egg Noodles w/ shrimp and sliced bbq pork
Decent: Â "Bun Chao Tom" (The noodles didn't have the right texture and the fish sauce/vinaigrette was bland.)
WORST PLACE FOR PHO OR ANYTHING.
I went to Indy for some business and I saw this restaurant while I was driving. I was hungry so I thought why not. After all the restaurant looked good.
I walked in and I was directed to my table.
I ordered PHO and egg rolls with coke. After 30 minutes the PHO came and the waitress did not even offer any explanation as why it took so long.
The PHO was so watered down that I had to make my own seasoning to make it edible.
I would never go back to this restaurant again.
When I went to the cashier to pay, the waitress then apologized for the long delay in getting my PHO. It would have been nice if she had said that when she delivered the PHO.
The food here is just bad. I have never waited more then 10 minutes for my PHO at the restaurants here in Chicago.
I have to admit: anyone who knows me knows that I have a Saigon addiction.  Like, a really bad one. Hands down, this is my favorite restaurant. I eat here at least once a week  (sometimes more...way more) and I get a variety of dishes, ex., pho, bun, lunch menu items, and the list goes on.  The vegetarian spring rolls are just about the greatest thing ever in my opinion. They come with a tasty peanut dipping sauce. I also enjoy their bubble tea (Pineapple and Papaya are my favorite flavors, but many of my friends enjoy the Thai Spice flavor).
If you are eating here for the first time, try one of the Bun's (#90-#99ish) with the eggroll and don't forget to dump the entire bowl of fish sauce on it. Â If you are feeling under the weather, and need a good pick me up dish, try one of the Pho soups or the Duck Soup with egg noodles (The duck soup is delicious on a cold winter day too...mmmmmm.....). Â Pho soups come with plate of freshness; bean sprouts, basil, limes, jalapenos. Â Duck soup has baby portabellas, some sort of greens (maybe Kale or something similar), and tasty deliciously prepared duck. Â You will dribble all of this wonderfulness down your chin and onto your shirt.
The prices are good, the food is FRESH, the waiter (Peter) is awesome. They've moved to a new location and they easily accomodate some of our large lunch groups now (sometimes 12 or 13 people), which is terrific! Carry out is always super fast. Oh, and they are closed on Tuesdays (I actually have a note in my office to remind me).
I am in a mood that is far too good to try and be creative in any way for this review. Â I am in a pho-induced state of relaxation. Â
I just moved to Indy from Los Angeles and was worried I would find only poor excuses for pho (eating "thai" food at noodles & co. only served to make me more afraid i was going to be without anything that didn't start with "ham" or end with "burger", or have the word "fried" in it). Â
I had the beef strip pho (#50) and it was perfect. Â Warm and rich broth with all of those salty, sweet, and savory flavors that define pho. Â A generous serving of the pho-accoutrements (basil, bean sprouts, spicy peppers, and lime) was provided, though I never use the lime.
Needless to say, I will be here as much as possible. Â I now look toward to the shorts or most frigid day of winter with no fear because (assuming the Saigon Restaurant is open) I can get a warm bowl of delicious pho and all will be comfortable.
Oh yeah, the people that work there were friendly and the experience was very pleasant.
Enjoy!
This review pertains only to Saigon market, I will save the Restaurant for another review.
This is probably my least favorite Asian Market in town and probably Asian for that matter. Â But they have two benefits that earn a visit from me every now and then. Â
Even though they have a very limited fresh meat selection but it is definitely the best out of all the Asian market. Â You won't find rib eyes or filet mignon here, but more rustic cut such as pork belly, pork shoulder, beef shank, beef loin, and innards. Â The second benefit is the one male worker, i think he's the butcher, stocking boy, and cleaner. Â He's pretty fast when it comes to helping you with the meat. Â If i needed him to cut the meat and bones a certain way, he'll be on it. Â His English isn't very good but I think he can make out keyword and can help you find what you are looking for.
Their vegetable selection is limited and caters to Asian cooking. Â Out of all the Asian market on Lafayette Road, Saigon has the worst vegetables! Â They always look like they are dead or near dead. Â The herbs in the refrigerated section is not too bad though and usually pretty fresh. Â If you are wanting to buy vegetables though, I say skip Saigon and go to Saraga or Oriental market.
Saigon has a similar selection of dried goods and frozen items like Van's Fish Market. Â Check expiration dates especially on canned goods and I would be careful of frozen items as well. Â I always make sure I do a thorough examination. Â
Saigon also sells freshly made bake goods and exotic fruits, and you can find them scatter up by the register. Â The owner usually stands behind the register, she usually doesn't say anything to any of the shopper unless she knows them. Â I wish she would be more cheery because it kinda ruins my shopping mood because I enjoy grocery shopping. Â Overall, Saigon would be a MEH experience but the fresh meat selection earns this place another star.
I am vietnamese. This is my least favorite of all the vietnamese restaurants in the indy area. There have always been rumors of behind the scenes msg use, dirty kitchen, people getting sick after eating there etc. Too many rumors for me to get excited about going. I've had the pho there in the past and it never tastes quite right. The same family owns the grocery next door which is why I try to avoid that parking lot altogether but I'll spare details for the grocery's seperate review.
Price is okay and alot of people gather here and because of it's name I notice a lot of american people come here to try out vietnamese cuisine for the first time. Â Most of the other Vietnamese restaurants are country-neutral as they also serve Chinese food there so you wouldn't be able to tell that they specialize in Vietnamese cuisine. Saigon was the Capitol of Vietnam until Communist took it over and renamed it. The southerns still call it Saigon. For some viet people they come for the convenience of lunch and groceries next door. My tip is to have lunch elsewhere and get your groceries at one of the other 6 international/asian grocery stores on the same road.
I give it 2 stars because if I was craving viet food and this was the last place still open i'd probably still try and go. Well lucky for me there are at least 5 other restaurants within driving distance that I would choose.
We knew of Saigon. We had passed by it many times and even talked about visiting. It just never seemed to happen. However, a few weeks ago we were talking about wanting to try something new, something different, something neither one of us had ever had. We settled on Saigon.
This was three weeks ago. We've been four times since then. It's good. REALLY good. So good that I have been accused of having an obsession. To that I say "whatevs." I love good food.
We went for another visit tonight, and again...my mind was blown. I had the lemongrass beef for an app and Lindsay had the rocket shrimp. The beef is so incredibly tender that it nearly falls apart. The flavor is delicious with a sweet undertone and a hint of lime. Whatever grill they are using is seasoned to perfection. You don't just achieve that level of flavor with any grill. The rocket shrimp, delicious as well. Perfectly crisp "skin" (thin dough) wrapped around a shrimp with a sliver of onion squeezed in. Both dishes are served with a side of some kind of sweet red sauce. YUM.
The dish that I just can't get over is the number 84, vermicelli noodles with lemongrass pork and an egg roll. HOLY CRAP. This dish will blow your mind! It's loaded with flavor. The first layer in the bowl is a bed of lettuce and thai basil. Next, comes the vermicelli noodles. Then, slices of cucumber and daikon radish. And last but certainly not least comes the thin slices of lemongrass pork, portions of egg roll, Â and sprinkles of peanut. It also comes with a sauce on the side, maybe some sort of broth? Whatever it is, it only increases the flavor of this wonderful dish.
You can't visit Saigon without having some fried rice. Lindsay lived in China for a year and longs for the authentic flavors that she was served there. She says Saigon is the closest authentic rice dish she's had outside of Asia. I say it's simply the best fried rice I've ever tasted, hands down.
On a side note: I've never eaten pho before, so I gave it a shot last week. Since I had never had it, my default for trying something new is trying the "house special." When I asked the waiter about it, he lead me in the right direction by recommending the pho with beef strips. I can't say that I will order it again. Not because it wasn't good, but because it was lacking flavor. I'm a sucker for intense flavor. I want my food to overwhelm me. The pho, didn't do this. It's kind of like beef noodle soup. Although it comes with a generous side of bean sprouts and thai basil, it just didn't do it for me. Why would I order that when I can get the number 84 and have my socks knocked off???
No questions asked, this is my new favorite restaurant. You will not regret visiting this hidden gem if you are an adventurous eater. Do yourself a favor and check out the market next door. It's incredible. You can even get a durian fruit!!!
The avocado shake was superb!
The spring rolls were delightful!
The curry tofu was... ok. Â A fairly weak curry sauce, that tasted more like a standard Chinese brown sauce and the tofu was only paired with onions.. I was expecting at least a couple other vegetables to be mixed in.
I would give 4 stars, but I just wasn't that impressed with my main course... I'll give it another shot though. Â The service was friendly and fast for how busy it was.
i can't wait to go back!! Pete & Amazing staff kept waters full & plates moving, i had ordered veggie spring rolls & he without hesitating told me that the PHO (my first time) had beef broth in it, just to make sure i knew that, i loved what i had & wanted what everyone had around me, that's why i'm going back!!
FYI a family member in the market next door say they were moving in 4-5 months near 38th & Georgetown, so make sure to call for the correct address
i stopped counting, i think there was over 200 plates in the menu
i'm so thankful for the Yelp Supper Club event, where young & old could break bread together & have a GREAT Time
Right to it: The Yelp Indy International Supper Club rolled in 26 deep for a full dinner on a Wednesday night at 7. Over in the other corner was a party of 10. I was blown away by Peter & Co.'s service.
This was my first sit down, full meal at Saigon. Expectations: High. Reality: Really High.
This place is exactly why I travel. Nearly every city in America probably has something similar -- a strip mall tucked away in a unsuspecting area -- that is thriving with authenticity. Especially here, the Banh Mi & Pho!
Now... that's not all they have... their menu is, well, how do I say it, um... HUGE!
From lemongrass beef wraps to catfish in a clay pot. I went with the finest soup & sandwich of my life: bbq pork banh mi & Pho Special of flank steak, beef brisket, beef meatballs and tripe in classic Pho fashion.
My first visit I thought I was eating bbq beef banh mi, I was incorrect -- it's some stellar bbq pork that is spot on.
The bean sprout & fresh basil side plate with the pho was a supreme touch.
The service was pretty remarkable considering he's serving a party of 26 in a restaurant that seats about 40 at most. Um, the Yelp Supper Club came through -- big time here. At the other end of the table, I salivated, and salivated, for the Vietnamese Coffee that Jessica  & Rodney were having. My lord, I have to return midday before my coffee cut off time of 3pm.
And then, something historic happened. There it was, the banh mi bbq pork (re: photo)... it sat there with it's open profile of pork, cilantro, cucumber, carrots & jalapeno on a french roll; she just couldn't resist. She, whom is anti-pork as my Inner Rabbi, my LP, took her first banh mi bite, and I have a Sakijewa golden dollar on it that she'll return for more!
As will I!
Note: Amazingly classy touch of the sides of beer six packs cut out and taped above each booth in a row to display what beers are offered (which includes 3 Viet beers!)
You think it's a hole in the wall...then you walk in and realize the walls are PINK and it looks pretty nice!
Besides being pleasantly surprised by the decor, the food was also surprisingly tasty. Â You can't go wrong with the BUN BO HUE, it's just the right amount of spicy. Â The BUN with pork and eggroll is also good, make sure to dump the entire bowl of fish sauce they give you into the bowl! Â Chicken with lemongrass tasted refreshing and the rice plates are big and filling. Â All reasonably priced also.
PASS on the BOBA. Â No good. Â Boba was tough and the slush was too sweet. Â Couldn't even finish the cup.
For the road, make sure to get a BANH MI (vietnamese sandwich) to go! Â These are a RARITY in the midwest so definitely jump at the chance to eat them!
Vietnamese restaurants are known mainly in the US for their "pho", hot rice noodle soup. Â But my favorite is actually "bun", Â cooler noodles with just a little broth on the side.
I had the Bun Ga (cool noodles with chicken) with egg roll (#85 or thereabouts), and I loved it! It was $7.50. Soft drink with refills was $1.75.
It came with crushed peanuts on it, which was good. But I don't remember seeing peanuts mentioned as part of the ingredients in the description. So if you're allergic to anything, be sure to ask the waiter if it's in the dish you're considering. The menu was not written so as to mention common allergy items.
I really like bun dishes. They come with fresh bean sprouts, some green leafy stuff, mint, and (I think) lemongrass. The cool bun noodles are not refrigerator cold, but are more cool than warm. There is a small cup of soup broth served on the side. After I eat the meat part of the dish, I put the soup broth in the big bowl with the other ingredients and mix everything up. I don't know if that's the traditional way of eating it, but it's what I like.
Our Vietnamese waiter appeared to speak fluent English.
There's a big flat screen TV in the dining area.
They also have carry-out.
I'd have to rate this place at least equal to King Wok Nha Hang Co Do, and Sizzling Wok Hai, both of which are further up Lafayette Road (4100 to 4300 or so).
If I remember correctly, the restroom has been remodeled, and looked better than before. Decor is kind of dark and low-lighted. Ceiling is black and open (no drop-down ceiling tiles) exposing the rafters and HVAC but since it's all painted black, it works. They usually keep the blinds at the front window closed since it faces West.
The popular Bubble Tea is on the menu.
Menu is pretty extensive with well over 100 entres, sorted by type of dish, Pho or Bun, or rice combo.
All the other diners I overhead seemed to realy enjoy their meals too. The next table over asked the waiter to recommend a seafood entree, and they really liked it.
Best Vietnamese food I've ever had. Â They have a whole vegetarian section and everything on it is delicious. Â Their spring rolls are the best I've ever tasted. Â I go nutz for their vegetarian soup too.
They are closed on Tuesdays, I think, which always throws me off and I've driven there sooooooo many times only to discover that they are closed. Â Worst.
As a transplant from southern california, its important for me to find some good ethnic cuisine. I checked a website that has a bunch of different kinds of ethnic foods around Indy (<a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.indyethnicfood.com&s=98caca7c931cbd1f668f0f9afb330b441c21519bd7e0d823789a1f2fe58db3a7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.indyethnicfoo…</a>). Â
This place was definitely a good find. The parking lot is a bit shady, but thats to be expected in that area of indy. The decor in the restaurant was really nice and inviting. Â The service was very quick as well. I got the pho, which was very good, although the broth was a bit stronger in terms of a meaty taste that I wasn't used to. Â However, the overall taste was still delicious. Â The spring rolls were also good, although definitely not great.
Price was moderate, you aren't going to break the bank, but its not super cheap either. Â
Overall I would recommend it to people who have never had Vietnamese food (specifically pho) and for people who want to find a good Vietnamese place in Indy.
