Most recently, I tried their Kitsune Udon which was great for a cold, winter evening. The broth was refreshing but flavorful. The tofu was slightly sweet which did throw me off.

For those who love sushi, the prices and quality are unmatched. My boyfriend loved everything he ordered and you can see how generous those portion sizes are. He ordered the omakase sushi platter (chef's choice) and had no complaints.

Pho is my medicine when I'm getting over a cold. I learned this trick many years ago when I lived…read morein Orange County, an area of Southern California with some of the best pho outside of Vietnam. One time, I was at a Vietnamese restaurant and saw a man sitting by himself, his face over a steaming bowl of pho, with a pile of tissues next to him. He'd alternate slurping up noodles and broth with blowing his nose. It was gross but also kind of brilliant and also somehow still delicious-looking. Homeboy was on a mission to clear his nasal passages, I tell you what. So, the next time I had a cold, I tried my man's technique. And you know what? Yes, pho is a medical miracle. If you're on the end stages of a cold, where you feel 90% better but you still have some nagging junk hanging on, get a bowl of pho. And bring some tissues with you. Short story long: The pho at Long Thanh is probably the best pho I've eaten in Indianapolis. Not only was my pho ga delicious and simple, like a great bowl of chicken pho should be. But I visited with the end stages of a cold, and once I put my face over the bowl and started slurping, I could feel the pho working its magic. My visit was also a reconnaissance mission, of sorts: I know there are a lot of places to get pho around Indy, but where would one go to get an amazing bowl of pho? I didn't have that one place to point someone to, or take someone to, until today. Long Thanh is it! Now, this is not the most aesthetically pleasing restaurant that I've ever visited. In fact, I would probably qualify this place as a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. It's located in a dusty strip mall. The building looks like it was built in the 1960s and hasn't been updated since the 1990s. But I'm willing to overlook the spider webs in the windows, the ramshackle carpet and the upside-down Lowe's bucket serving as a plant holder. Why? Because the pho at Long Thanh is the kind of pho you want to be sticking your sick freakin' face over. So, the pho ga is my standard pho order, because how can you go wrong with chicken soup? The pho comes with a platter of herbs -- Thai basil, regular basil and cilantro -- and bean sprouts to sprinkle into your bowl, according to your preference. There are also some lime wedges to squeeze, and jalapeno slices to add for a little heat. If you need more heat, there's Sriracha and other sauces at the table. I add Sriracha as I eat, because I like to build up the heat as I go. Basically, my bowl of pho was exactly what I wanted: a hot and flavorful bowl of broth and perfectly cooked noodles and chicken, with the ability to add handfuls of fresh herbs and sprouts for a nice fresh, crunchy texture. One other reason to visit Long Thanh: the owner of this restaurant. This guy is also the host, the server, the cook, and the person who clears the tables. He is a bright and shining beacon of light in an otherwise dusty strip mall in central Indiana. He was super enthusiastic about every single thing. You can tell that he loves what he does, and it shows in the food he serves.

You can even shop from their small store to bring Indonesian groceries home. We went on a Saturday night and it was pretty full. We found a spot in the small parking lot, but they have signs that there is additional parking by the church if you go and need to find a spot.

I don't have a benchmark, since this is my single Indonesian food experience. I ordered the bala-bala and beef rendang. The bala-bala were packed with recognizable veggies and had a light crispy texture. Not greasy or oily at all. My main course came with rice, a jackfruit curry and kale. A green chili sauce, more like a relish is served on the side. It is very spicy. The beef was well spiced, fork tender and just dreamy. I was also surprised by the jackfruit curry-something I've never had but liked with the spiciness of the beef-I did use a lot of the green chili sauce. The place is small and very casual and serves coffee drinks but doesn't have a liquor license. You can carry in from the pub next door, though. The parking lot is very small but I think you can park in the adjoining lot by the pub. I went at an odd time and was the only customer other than a couple of drunk women trying to get coffee. There's also a small shop where you can buy Indonesian spices, mixes and coffee. I regret not buying the rendang mix! I'm definitely going back to try some of the other dishes, ideally with friends to share appetizers-I want that lumpia-and I'll be sure to grab a package of rendang spice on my way out.

I found them…read moreto be friendly and welcoming, however, I'll also be honest and say when I get into this strip center I'm usually headed toward the adjacent George's Neighborhood Grill. Today, Christmas Day, the plan was entirely different. I was hoping Asian Bistro would be open given the limited options and decided to check here first. Gratefully, they were open. This is a relatively small, well-decorated strip-center restaurant located at 71st and Binford. There's a double entryway. As you enter, there's rows of half-booths on both sides along with a center aisle primarily made up of two-seat tables. If you're picking up food, you head toward the back. Asian Bistro serves up, you guessed it, Asian options including Japanese, sushi, sashimi, and some Thai options. They carry Coke products for drinks along with Gold Peak Iced Tea. I opted for sweet-and-sour chicken along with fried rice and my usual unsweetened iced tea. The wait wasn't too long. The serving size was surprisingly plentiful. Service was strong. This family operation had around four folks in-house. I got a wonderfully warm vibe here. I got the sense you could really become a "regular." Some folks were just starting to arrive as I left - you could tell they were familiar and they were treated like they were familiar. It was delightful to see, especially on a day of the year when some folks really need that connection. I was tended to regularly. I got my always desired drink refill and was honestly a bit surprised to get an offer of one to go. It was a nice touch. The food was good, though the chicken was maybe a bit crispier in spots than I'd prefer. However, I'd easily order it again. The menu wasn't quite as expansive as some, however, I definitely loved what I ordered. I wasn't expecting it to feel so warm and welcoming inside. the dark wood half-booths are warm. There was light Christmas music playing and an ambiance that really worked. It's not luxurious, but it was much nicer than I expected. Good food. Great hospitality. A welcoming atmosphere. It was a great Christmas lunch and I'd definitely return in the future.
