    Marinated #23 Grilled Pork Banh Mi ( Banh Mi Thit Heo Nướng )
    June F.

    Went in for a lunch and everything was great. Parking is available behind the building. It was convenient and easy. We had a spring rolls, kids size pho, ban mi and grilled short ribs with rice. They were all tasty and delicious. Business was slow during the weekday so service was awesome. Looking forward to go back and try other things.

    #28 Steak Banh Mi ( Banh Mi Steak Bo )
    January O.

    After a friend highly recommended Eating Fresh I decided to give them another try. She raved about the short rib pho. I ended up coming to try and pho wasn't able to leave a review or picture because I completely devoured it. It was amazing I can't express how delicious the broth was. Usually have to doctor my pho up but I didn't have to add anything. It was so damn good. Today I had lunch with a friend we had a bahi mi and I ordered the spicy beef soup she had the beef stew. The spicy beef noodles were great loaded with beef and a nice flavor I would've liked mine to be spicier. The bahi mi was delicious the bread was baked perfectly and I loved all the pickled vegetables. The service was great the owner served us and you can tell he's very very passionate and loves what he does. Definitely worth a visit.

    The food was nice and fresh so the name of the place is very fitting! The environment was clean and calming. The music added a nice touch to the place. The service was a 10/10. The owner took great care of us. We dined later in the evening and the quality of the food and service felt as if they had just opened up for the day! Would highly recommend. We tried the 5 course buffet for $34.50 and would definitely return.

    #12 "Premium" Spicy Beef Noodle
    Long H.

    Consider I'm Vietnamese. This was a tough review.. This is from the heart. This is authentic as it can be. The chef absolutely nailed the recipe! Absolutely amazing! 1000% recommend you go there and give it a shot. The Pho was absolutely amazing as well but the spicy noodles is on a different level. Definitely brings back memories from Viet. If you're Vietnamese, you know how hard this dish is perfect.

    Service was great , ambiance was very nice. Food was very good. Fresh loved the lemon grass beef and the shrimp rolls. My husband got the pho . Loved everything! Will be back!

    Absolutely delicious! Best pho I've ever had. I'll definitely be back for more. Service was quick and the chef came out to ask how we like everything. You can see the pride he has in his food.

    #32 The Famous Beef Stew ( Bo Kho )
    Nakisha C.

    I've been twice in a couple weeks! It's so good! I think this is legit the best bowl of pho I've had, and I've been eating pho regularly for years! The famous beef stew was like a warm hug from my grandma and the fried dumplings are good. The service is great, the chef is nice, helpful, and playful. The ambiance is nice. It's been clean inside when I've gone. 10 out of 10, I highly recommend.

    We went on a Sunday right before heading for a show and we were glad to stopped by! The food was delicious and fresh and tasty. They had a Lemongrass dipping sauce on the table, that was flavorful. You mix the lemongrass with some soy sauce for dipping. The buns and dim sum were steamed and tasty. Like any small locally owned place, I think service was a little slower paced. So just make sure to have a little bit of extra time if you have to be anywhere. The restaurant was beautiful. I liked that that had the wonders of the world playing on the tv. The soup on the menu is pho broth and with the poached egg was delicious.

    We had a great time at Eating Fresh. Wonderful drinks (wine and sake) and good food (fried rice and pho). Service was prompt and friendly. My serving of shrimp fried rice was plentiful and tasty. The only weird thing is our table was in the back and was a tight fit for the walk to and from the restroom. It interrupted us often with people squeezing through. Overall, I recommend the food and drink and service! I would come back.

    What a great place for authentic Vietnamese food! So fresh with perfect seasonings all prepared by Chef Ricky who has dedicated his life to serving the most flavorful and nutritious foods of his homeland! My go to place whenever Vietnamese food cravings strikes

    Entrance by parking lot
    K W.

    This place is great. A very nice Vietnamese couple opened the restaurant in 2021 and struggled for bit because of the Broad Ripple construction, but their food is the real deal. We had the flank steak premium pho and the beef short rib pho, several dim sum offerings including Har Gow (shrimp dumplings), fresh garden rolls, and Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio (beef & eggroll rice dish). Next time we'll try the sizzling hot plate and table grill selection. Everything was tasty, but the short rib and Har Gow were our favorites. There are some vegetarian and I believe gluten free options. Note for first timers: getting to the location is a bit tricky with some one-way circle turns ending in the back of several adjoining small neighboring parking lot rear entrances similarly situated, but once you figure it out, it's easy to return. The sign on the door says "FE" in large letters but doesn't actually say "Eating Fresh". Quirky, but the food is worth it -- this is some of the best Pho and dim sum in the area.

    Our foodie group came to Eating Fresh for some Mediterranean/Vietnamese food for dinner one night and now I see why everyone raves about this place. Eating Fresh is a new restaurant in the heart of Broad Ripple that serves excellent Vietnamese/Mediterranean cuisine. The owner is a great guy that cooks the food at order on the line and bring it to you within a matter of minutes. The dining room is very nice with a beautiful screen of Vietnam and other countries showing their beautiful scenery. The variety of Vietnamese food is excellent with a nice selection of Pho dishes and Mediterranean food as well. I wanted some simple, so I just ordered the Chicken Noodle Pho. This was a huge bowl of greatness and wonderful comfort food. The pieces of chicken were huge,.along with the noodles, and the broth tasted just perfect. This made me smile and everyone else loved their dishes. The steak Bambini looked incredible and amazing. The only thing you will need to be aware of is the owner is also the server, so service may be slow and you may have to wait a bit for water refills or your check, but he does all the cooking and preparation, so it is worth the time and patience. I can definitely say that Eating Fresh is on the top of my list for Vietnamese food places here in Indy. It is high quality, very fresh, and worth every penny you spend at this restaurant. Eating Fresh is fantastic and I will come back here again very soon.

That is why it pains me to be giving this 3-star review. It's not that anything was bad, but after all the hype, we just weren't impressed. Let me start off by saying that the space is very cool. I loved the dark, swamp-themed mural painted on the wall, the banging playlist and the inclusion of a bar in the back as well as the ice cream counter. The staff were jovial, accommodating and extremely pleasant to interact with. My husband and I both ordered 1/2 slab rib combos. My 1/2 was much larger/meatier than his, so we swapped. The combo comes with two sides. We both ordered the baked beans, he had the coleslaw, and I had the macaroni and cheese. Categorically, everything was ok...good even, but not great or amazing, which were the words that we'd heard from others. Perhaps we didn't order the right items. The ribs were beautiful with the perfect smoke ring. They were seasoned well, but they were not as tender as I would've liked. I like my ribs to be fall-off-the-bone tender, but I know that isn't necessarily the industry standard. The sauce options were mild and hot, but I could barely distinguish the difference between the two. Hot is not spicy. The macaroni and cheese could've used some salt and pepper, but the baked beans were spot-on. The beans were on the sweet side, which is just how I like them. The platter is also served with soft, buttery, rolls with garlic.

It does not look as though you are entering a restaurant when you approach, but you are. I think they are configured more for takeout, but they have access to the large event area with cafeteria-style seating. So there is plenty of room to eat in if you'd prefer (which we did). The hours seem a little limited so be sure to check before you go. The menu, including the specials, is on a white board as you walk in. The selection is streamlined, BBQ-dominated and carnivore-oriented (other than the sides). The system is a walk-up and order from the kitchen doorway. My wife chose the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Baked Beans while I opted for the Chopped Chicken Sandwich with Kickin Coleslaw. The food was very good. The proprietors were very friendly and engaging, and that was a plus. The prices were quite reasonable. With drinks and tip, it was about $14 each. My wife actually took enough away from hers for another meal, so it was a good deal. Our daughter and son-in-law live close, so we hope to try this place again when we visit.

You can order the meat only or get a dinner that includes 2 sides and your choice of bread (white, wheat, or cornbread). They provide very generous portion sizes. The rib tips are the best that I have had in Indy thus far. They are tender and the seasoning they use is delicious. You could eat them without any sauce. However, the sauce is what takes it over the top for me. They offer sweet, medium, hot, or they will mix the sauces for you. The hot has a pretty good kick as a warning if you are sensitive to spice. I recently tried the Bar B Q bun, which is essentially a pulled pork sandwich. The pork is finely shredded and the sauce is poured on top of the pork. It's almost a fork and knife sandwich, as the bottom bun gets soaked in the sauce. Their sides have definitely reduced in quality over the years. I recently tried the mac and cheese and greens. As a note, they only have greens Friday - Sunday and they often times run out on Sunday if you do not get there early. The mac and cheese was dry and had little flavor. The greens, which used to be my favorite in the city, reminded me of cooked spinach and weren't seasoned. The service remains great. With the amount of people waiting while I was there, they were friendly and efficient. I wanted to order chess pie and there were not any readily available behind the counter. They told me they had some coming out of the oven in the kitchen if I was willing to wait and they brought it over once done. It is carry-out only, so be prepared to take it elsewhere to eat. You can call ahead to place your order as well.
