Great takeout! JP…read moreAsian Fusion is always fantastic. I ordered takeout for my family and was impressed by how well the food traveled. Everything was packaged securely. The food that was supposed to be warm stayed warm and the cold rolls stayed cold. There were plenty of soy sauce packets, chop sticks, napkins, and fortune cookies provided too. Everything tasted great. The food was super fresh fresh, saucy, and flavorful. The rice was perfectly fluffy. Insanely delicious! When I ordered at around noon on a Saturday, it was super quiet and empty. I was literally the only person in there. It was rather dark in there with some subtle music playing. The staff were friendly and quick to check me out. I do appreciate that there is 15 minute pick-up parking directly in front of the door. Can't wait to go back!

On my second visit, I got the larb and wonton soup. The larb was just as good, full of flavor and really satisfying. The wonton soup wasn't quite what I expected, but it was still tasty. I also tried the fresh spring rolls, which were fresh and enjoyable. Service was quick, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The ambiance is warm and welcoming--overall, a solid spot to enjoy Thai food!

I didnt get photos of the desserts but I will say these were interesting. I felt like they were trying to put a lot of things together in one dessert and it wasn't bad but I think keeping it simpler would be better. We got the dark chocolate mousse and the panna cotta? I think I can't remember what it was called and I only liked one ingredient from each. But I would recommend this spot either way!

Came here for dinner and had reservations, so we were seated right away. I came in with high…read moreexpectations. The ambiance inside was lively but quite loud. That makes sense to why the drinks were quite stiff. I understand why many of the older guests chose to sit outside on the patio, where it was much quieter. Danielle was wonderful. Even though she was handling a large party, she remained attentive and checked on us regularly. Food-wise, it fell short for my Asian taste buds, which tend to prefer bolder and more layered flavors. For starters, we had the tartare, which was enjoyable and very flavorful. For the main entrées, we had the beef carpaccio, but it unfortunately missed the mark. The vegetables on top were visually appealing, but flavor-wise it lacked depth. It needed extra mint or perhaps to be wrapped in a sesame leaf to give it more bite and contrast. Next, we tried the lion meatball with veggie fried rice. The meatball was dry and had a grainy texture. It needed more fat in the blend for better richness. Pairing it with a baguette or even a savory donut stick would have added a nice contrast in texture and flavor. I'm usually not a fried rice person, but I kept eating it because it was the only dish I genuinely enjoyed and found well-seasoned. It wasn't the traditional wok-hei style fried rice; instead, it tasted fresher and lighter. I understand and appreciate the direction of the flavors and dishes, as they seem intentionally designed to be more subtle, calming, and approachable for American palates. However, from my perspective and personal preference as someone who enjoys stronger Asian flavors, it lacked the "wow" factor I was hoping for.

The bbq pork buns were delicious and we all loved they. If anything, i wish there was more. The pork dumplings were also good and super juicy inside.

Water and to-go ware is self serve. The option to order directly from your table is pretty convenient. Our first dish, the ramen, arrived in 5-7 minutes. Soon after our noodles, then the beef roll and sesame balls. Every dish was freshly prepared and you could really tell. Served hot, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. Not pictured is the tonkatsu ramen. Their seasoned egg was on point! Plus they give you whole egg sliced in half. No skimping! The broth was so flavorful and balanced. Not too salty either. Their single all gender restroom was well-stocked and clean. Other things I notice was that staff is pretty attentive. If the call button was pushed, they addressed the need immediately. After packing up our leftovers, we paid up front with Apple Pay. Overall, a great selection of my favorite eats. Typically I'd have to hit multiple spots to get this combination of items. At 88, you get a bit of Shanghai, Taiwan, and Japan in one convenient location.

Absolutely terrible. Entire items missing on my order. And zero flavor…read more The pho had zero taste. I ordered pork belly it was almost impossible to eat its so hard. Also i asked for pork to be added to the pho. None was. I ordered the pork belly dish. Once again pork belly was bad and the sauce they advertise wasn't included. Cucumber salad was good but maybe it was 2 oz. It was the smallest portion I've ever seen. Also it was hot. Weird. The crab fried rice was good but it was supposed to come with a crab omlet on top. Once again missing. So to recap no flavor, hockey puck pork belly and at least 3 items missing.

It is everything I've been looking for in over a decade! If I could give more stars, I would! I ordered more to go! Red curry?! DROOL! I highly recommend this place!! Thank you, Andy!

The food is amazing (ive had and loved both rib dishes, and the duck kapitan is incredibly flavorful) and the servers are friendly and made us feel welcome. Edder (I believe that's how it's spelled) recognized us from a past visit which lets you know they pay attention to the guests, and offered helpful opinions on food and gave us some background on the restaurant. The ambiance as a result of all this was relaxed and comfortable, it made the whole experience very pleasant. Totally recommend this.

With the passage of time, my love for INDO has made it all the way down to my kids. They now ask (or more accurately demand) to dine at INDO. Their faves include a double order of the Roti Prata and Chicken Satay plus the Garlic Noodles and Yellow Chicken Curry. For the adults, we usually add an order of the Papaya Salad, the Bali Ribs, the Chilean Sea Bass, a couple drinks and we are officially golden! From the taste & quality of the food to the friendly waitstaff and the relaxed ambience, we just simply cannot live without INDO as one of our all-time fave go-to spots!

Saturday night: 5 stars (read both reviews as the next day was a 2.5 star)…read more We had reservations and were seated quickly last Saturday night. I was immediately impressed by the stylish bar and the restaurant's beautiful interior design. As others have mentioned, it is quite dark in the evening, but the adjustable lamps on each table are a thoughtful touch and add to the atmosphere. I wanted to order everything on the menu, but since there were five of us, we were able to order family-style and share a variety of dishes. The ceviche was full of flavor and paired perfectly with the rice chips. We all loved the gyoza and the fried rice as well. I also enjoyed a perfectly made espresso martini. From start to finish, the service was attentive and friendly. The prices felt very fair considering how creative and fresh the food was. I returned the next day for Mother's Day with my daughter, and I'll be reviewing that experience separately, as it was completely different from this one. After having such an excellent dining experience here the night before, I chose this restaurant again for a Mother's Day lunch with my daughter. We did not have reservations, but were seated within about 10 minutes, which we appreciated. Before being seated, we chatted briefly with a server behind the bar who was warm and welcoming. My daughter also loved the decor, the vibe, and the music--it created a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Unfortunately, the experience declined after that. It took an unusually long time for anyone to take our order, and the wait for our food was simply unacceptable. During that time, our server repeatedly brought dishes to our table that belonged elsewhere. Each time we asked about our order, we were told it was coming soon, but it did not arrive. I eventually flagged down another server, who sincerely apologized and said she would look into it right away. We still waited quite a while longer, so I spoke with yet another staff member, who also said she would involve the manager and get things handled. Our food finally arrived about 35-40 minutes after ordering. The person who delivered it--who was not our original server--apologized and brought us a small serving of sorbet in a martini glass, presumably as a gesture for the delay. Neither of us wanted dessert, so it went untouched. Having worked in the restaurant industry for many years, including training staff in service standards, I know that delays can happen. What matters most is how they are handled. In this case, a manager should have come to the table personally to apologize and, at minimum, adjusted or comped the delayed dish. That kind of service recovery can turn a poor experience around. I felt especially disappointed because I had chosen this restaurant for a special Mother's Day meal and had spoken so highly of it after the previous evening's wonderful visit. Instead, we left let down. I hope management takes reviews like this seriously, because service recovery is essential in hospitality.

Watching them make everything is a real treat, and you can taste the fresh ingredients in all of their dishes. I'm a big fan of the vegetable dumplings. The vegetable chow mein is really good, and the barbecue pork buns are always a favorite. I've tried a few other things in the past, and I can honestly say every single time I've been thoroughly impressed and left curious to try more of the menu. Highly recommend this place. Very tasty. Whenever I'm in Midtown Sac, I definitely make an effort to stop by.

I've been here once before for a takeout order. One thing I noticed last time I was there, it's…read morevery hot in inside, but they may have been an issue during the summer. Sunday's visit was a bit stuffy inside. It was warmer than it needed to be, but it was comfortable in a short sleeve top and shorts. Sunday's high was 76. Parking is an issue, it's all street parking and on a Sunday in April it's quite busy. We lucked out and found a space only a couple of blocks away, close to the boxing gym behind Rick's Dessert Diner. Someone was just pulling out when we were cruising around for a parking space. It's all luck of the draw and The parking didn't have a time limit on it as it was a Sunday and there wansn't a meter. if you're willing to walk a few blocks you've got a higher chance of finding a space. There are a couple of parking lots, but they are paid parking and a few many blocks away. When looking at their menu you will notice that everyone is sold in multiples. You can't buy a single Bao, they only come in sets of 8. Potsticker are understandable and come in sets of 12, which splitting between two people is manageable. Right above us and behind glass there was someone making potstickers from scratch. They have a little machine that you place the filling in the skins and the machine stuffs the potstickers and folds them. They can make a lot in a short amount of time. We really liked the potstickers. I love how they pan fried them. They were all a little toasty, just what we had hoped for. They aren't that toasty on their own, but hey gave us two sauces. A soy sauce based sweet sauce, that was my favorite and a oil and red pepper sauce, that was a little spicy, but not too much. I could dunk a whole potsticker in it and my mouth wasn't burning. The dumplings would have been a healthier option as they aren't pan fried with all that oil, but not what I was craving. These were a good snack to tie us over before dinner. We also came back later after hanging out in midtown on our way home we bought 6 BBQ Pork Bao to go. They don't come with the paper on the bottom, which is nice as it's always hard to remove. They are easy to reheat in the microwave. My plans is to make them a good snack. I tried one right after we bought them and they were perfect. Good amount to meat inside and not too doughy. I'd order them again. I would go back, with the knowledge that it's a warm environment. Come with an appetite. They also make noodle dishes and other dishes such as honey walnut shrimp.
