    Rice
    Nancy L.

    In my pursuit for chicken satay while in Nashville, Indiana - I found it! It was really good. I could've eaten another plate of them. I got rice on the side. I definitely recommend this business. It is totally decorated with basketball decor from Indiana. The service was quick. The waitress was on top of it. I will definitely come back.

    Cashew chicken. Just the right amount of broth.

    Hoosier Thai is such a great addition to Nashville! Their dishes rival those from our favorite Indianapolis Thai restaurants, and our favorites include drunken noodles, rotisserie chicken fried rice, and cashew chicken. Servings are large, so we usually eat half and take the other half home. The servers help make for a nice dining experience, especially Rubee.

    IU decor is perfection, left from prior restaurant.

    We were seated quickly with attentive service. There were so many delicious things on the menu but we went for our favorites: crab rangoons, pad Thai and pad see ew. Can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. Just what Nashville needed!

    Great gluten free menu! I had the gluten free vegetable pad thai and it was delicious. This place is a great addition to downtown Nashville!

    On our yearly Fall trek to Brown County. Monday was our day. I was the car passenger so I started to search for a different place to try. It was surprising to see a few restaurants state they were closed since it was the height of the tourist season. We walked by a couple other cafes where we didn't like the menu. Another actually required a reservation on a Monday, early afternoon. So onward we went. We looked across the street and saw a sign that said Hoosier Thai. My daughter had been there a long time ago when they served burgers and American food. We walked in and saw it was still decorated in red and the same IU Hoosier sports memorabilia. So they weren't kidding about the Hoosier part of Thai! It wasn't very busy at all for Noon. The menu had a lot of choices. The service was great and fast. Two servers waited on us. :-) We split crab rangoon (really really good), Spring rolls, and chicken Thai fried rice. (Med heat). Dipping sauce for the apps was good. The fried rice came out nice and steaming hot. Super tender chicken and fresh vegs. It was a great lunch! We highly recommend this place. We count on going back on our next trip to Nashville. It was that good!

    Pineapple fried rice

    This place was so busy, but for good reason. All of the food was amazing! Yellow curry was delicious, pineapple fried rice was insane and the pad woon sen was craveable. Probably our favorite meal out in Nashville.

    Really liked it! I really chose this place for dinner because I wanted bubble tea, and the bubble…read moretea was good but the food was the highlight. The menu is very vegetarian-friendly since you can choose tofu as a protein for most entrees, and even vegan-friendly since they have nondairy milk options for drinks and some entrees can be easily customized to be vegan (order with tofu/no meat and remove egg). I got a matcha latte with brown sugar crystal boba and the Pattaya pineapple rice. Matcha latte: The matcha was decent - it had the flavour of matcha latte mix rather than pure matcha, but it wasn't unpleasant, and it was strong. I like the brown sugar crystal boba as a topping - the flavour is very similar to brown sugar tapioca boba, but it doesn't sit as heavy. It's a different kind of chewy than tapioca, but it's close enough that it basically gives the same kind of experience as regular tapioca boba in a drink. Pattaya pineapple rice: Really good! The rice was well-seasoned and the pieces of juicy pineapple and raisins added some sweetness that contrasted very nicely with the curry-spiced rice. They have 5 spice levels (mild, medium, hot, extra hot, Thai hot). I usually went for medium heat when I lived on the west coast, but since this is the Midwest, I tried "hot" and found it had a bit of a kick, but the heat was still secondary to the other flavours, so it was the right choice for me. Very good service. The waiter was very friendly and attentive without hovering - he came by at just the right times. My drink and food came out not too long after I ordered. The place is nice. Like the other restaurants in this area, it's situated in a small house-like building. The atmosphere feels down-to-earth. There were lots of things on the menu that caught my interest, so I'll definitely be back!

    Excellent Thai restaurant with high marks for food, service, and atmosphere…read more I've tried the Thai fish cakes, sweet and sour saute, pad bus sa ra com, mango sticky rice, and Thai iced tea and coffee. The savoury dishes were all super flavourful, cooked well, and generously portioned. Maybe this has something to do with the dishes I got, but I think the flavours here are generally more intense than the other Thai restaurants I've tried in Bloomington, and their spice levels might be a little higher. I've been somewhat underwhelmed by level 3 (out of 5) at other places, so I tried level 4 the first time I ordered here, and it was a little too hot, so I went back to level 3 the next time, and it was just right. The Thai tea and coffee were both very good, especially the coffee. It almost tasted chocolatey. The service is consistently on top of it. I was there on Valentine's Day, and they were slammed but had enough staff on the floor for it; the food was quick as usual and everyone was still very friendly. I also love the atmosphere here. The building is one of the converted houses on 4th St, and there are different dining rooms, some with lots of windows, all filled with interesting decor, and there's also a very nice patio during the warmer seasons. The only problem here is, unless there's a back entrance I don't know about, I don't think the building is wheelchair accessible; you have to go up a few stairs to get to the main entrance.

We had a variety of dishes, including Pad…read moreThai, Massaman Curry, Pad Woon Sen, and appetizers like fish cakes, spring rolls, and their crab rangoons. All were great, fresh ingredients, served in concert, and quickly, too. This was a family meal, and all were delighted, including the children with chicken fingers and fries. We're trying to expand their horizons, but picky eaters are tough. The appetizers were especially good, and each has their own different sauce. My order was well-spiced, and there was enough taken home for a second delicious meal. This is perhaps the best and most consistent Thai food in Bloomington. There are rivals to this high throne, and we try them, too, but this is our go-to for no-compromise Thai, every order consistently great.

    I know we just moved here, but this might be our go-to choice for Thai food in Bloomington!…read more The restaurant is small, but still maintains a good atmosphere. The night I visited, they were very busy, with a large party in the back part; however, they didn't miss a beat, and service was as good as you would hope. Food was so good, I had to order a second dish, so I could take the first one home to the wife! We also found the prices to be reasonable. A high bar has been set.

I showed up about 50 minutes after ordering and my food was hot and ready on arrival. The host who greeted me and brought out my order was very friendly. While I was waiting for him to get my food from the back, another staff member also came by to check that I was being helped. I ordered the fried eggplant stir-fry with tofu and the coconut ice cream. The stir-fry tasted good, but I selected spice level 3 "hot" (and the takeout container had a "3" written on it so I know they got it), yet there was not a hint of spice in the dish, not even a single chili flake. I don't know if they messed up and forgot to add the spice or what, but I was kind of let down. Taking the heat level out of the equation, it would rate it about average for American Thai food. I wasn't really impressed by the dish, but I enjoyed it (spicy is nice but not a must-have for me if there are other flavours). I liked the coconut ice cream dessert. The included banana spring rolls were helpfully packaged in foil separate from the ice cream, so I warmed them up in my oven a little, and they were very good warm. I'm pretty sure that what the menu calls "homemade coconut ice cream" was actually vanilla bean ice cream with shredded coconut on top. Which is still delicious but not what is written on the menu. Based on my single visit, I don't think this is close to the best Thai in Bloomington, but it's alright, and I might come here again because it's closer to home than the other places I like. I might have even given the food 4 stars if it had just been described differently on the menu, but the lack of spice in a dish that was supposed to be made hot plus the "homemade coconut ice cream" not being that left a little bit of a bad impression.
