Stopped by for a quick drink and snack after work and it was a bit hard for me to spit at first as I walked right by it. But it is a cute and modern spot, definitely feels like it doesn't belong in the street when you are inside...transported to another place. When the lights dim, it feels even more like you are being transported. I liked that about the atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and checked in on us a lot. The girl in training was really nice. Service to me was five star. The food was good. I would say pretty average for the cuisine type, but the selection and pricing was fair. Beautifully plated. read more

Name changed to Wok n Wings. Gave us our food in take out containers even though we were dining in. Didn't have the beef carpaccio, didn't have juice, didn't have carbonated drinks. Watered down mojitos. When we ordered, the host immediately stated they were adding 18% gratuity because of how big our party was. We definitely have no problem giving a tip when the service is at par. read more

Love this hidden gem; its a sister restaurant of the Vancouver's most iconic wing spot, Pnom Penh. Indochine has the best cambodian-vietnamese wings; they serve it with this lemon pepper sauce. Ambiance: I dont love that they have big tvs with sports playing but we are there for wings and butter beef, not the bar LoL. Service: Friendly, helpful and attentive. Food: Items that are a must have: garlic wings, butter beef, brisket stew, and hainanese chicken. They have a huge list of drinks for those who dabble with alcohol or those who are preferring to stay sober. Great spot for casual dining, family dinners, or a simple light snack. read more

So this has been my favourite neighbourhood hang out spot for about 6 years when it first opened. The South East Asian Fusion flavour was something I would rave to friends about and invite to enjoy drinks and some nice bites frequently. But as the Restaraunt has experienced a down turn of late, my favourite Chef Mr Chau has been moved to the Indochine Fraser location. I will dearly miss Mr Chau's consistent execution of my favourite dishes such as Mr Chau's Special Fried Rice, or oh so yummy Singaporean Lahksa. It is difficult to replace Mr Chau's knowledge and experience, and his replacements have some big shoes to fill. Unfortunately that has meant the menu has been greatly reduced. I will still visit the Indochine Broadway and Ontario location for their great happy hour drink specials, but I likely won't look forward to eating at this location on a weekly basis. read more

Indochine Kitchen - New menu with different cooks - Asian Fusion Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Came in post game for a quick bite and was surprised with the fusion Vietnamese, Southern asian style cuisine. Was told by mates that the menu is inspired/ created by a former fellow Phenom Phen Chef. Portion size is smaller than typically Vietnamese Restaurant and bigger than an Izakaya for their entrees. I had the Laksa which was surprisingly fresh and well garnished. My mates had the lemon grass chicken which was presented beautifully, along with the chicken wings and butter beef too. Thursday nights special is $8 pitcher of Blue Ribbon or Lucky Beer. Will return for late night southern asian cuisine. Staff was super friendly too! read more

To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect when walking by this place. The name suggested "everything in SE Asia", which led to some confusion as there were at least 10 distinct countries last time I checked. It's like calling a restaurant "North America". Turns out the place is indeed SE Asian fusion. Parking is available on the side streets, though you do have to look around a bit. The inside is fusion themed (a bit like a nightclub), with lit bar shelves and bamboo-looking decor everywhere. The staff are pretty friendly. Several TV screens were showing sports, except 2 which were showing some long Oscar-winning movie about firewood. Someone told me this is an actual channel? On Wednesdays, wings are half price for a pound or so, which translated to roughly 9 wings. They come in 3 flavours. They're served piping hot, so try not to burn yourself. Garlic butter - such a simple flavour, but my favourite of the 3. It's not just garlic, but bits of chili peppers and other goodies that make the difference. Think of the stuff you get in Chinese restaurants (usually found on pork chops or ribs). Special mention. Served with lemon juice + pepper, just like Phnom Penh. Taste is a lot more neutral though. Honey garlic - covered with sesame seeds. Nice and sweet, with just the right amount of kick. Sriracha buffalo - decent, but sadly also the least memorable. Oh I can't stop thinking about their garlic butter flavour. Sigh. As the rest of their items seem quite reasonably priced, I will be back to check out the rest of their menu in the near future. Honestly, I think the only thing hurting this place is the location. So, spread the word. read more

I give this place a thumbs up. I pass by all the time but never really wanted to go in. The reason is because it looks like a pub and I think its a pub. Of course pub serves big portion comfy food. Well this place not quite. I mean the name does say something. Ordered 2 dishes to share and wings. Oh my... I love the wings. They are crispy the way I like them. They reminded me of Korean wings. Yummy. My favorite dish is the beaf luc luc. Wow. it had lots of flavor to it. Maybe I should not be judging a restaurant by the exterior look. I am just surprised. read more

Formerly Black Coffeehouse, which was a chill setup with a bit of an identity crisis (it couldn't decide if it was a coffeehouse or a cocktail/light eats bar blasting R&B) the owners apparently downsized and rebranded with their other restaurant name "Indochine." On a given day you can wander in - and be told that 1/2 the items on the menu aren't available. While the menu selections aren't themselves bad, there seems to have been a massive turnover in the kitchen. The chefs don't appear to be sticking around; they must be turning over faster than Cher went through costumes or DiCaprio goes through 25 year olds. Because the menu items that you might have ordered 6 months ago are executed completely differently - and by differently I mean poorly. A "stew'" -- quite an exaggeration - turned out to be a thin red-colored broth featuring only one vegetable - overboiled beets (why beets?) - with perhaps 8 sad fatty bits of beef accompanying. And a bowl of plain rice. This came to a total of $25 - which is ridiculous when all up and down Broadway cheaper, better prepared, and more filling eats can be had. Indochine - we were rooting for you! Get your act together! read more

Was recommended by a local to come check out this place and it definitely does not disappoint. We got there early on a Saturday night and it was not too busy yet, but I can definitely imagine this place getting busy. It's a very hip place and I love the decor inside. We ordered the butter beef and the garlic butter wings. My friend who is a very picky eater loved the beef so much that she ordered a second order of it. The wings were pretty good, but I wouldn't say anything special. We also ordered a side of rice to split and that was enough food to get us both full and we finished all of our food. read more

WAITED 3 HOURS FOR FOOD!!!!!!!!! Went on a Friday evening for a friend's birthday dinner. My boyfriend and I ordered together. The waiter wrote down our order and our name. Our friends' food started to arrive. Once everyone's food arrived, a waiter came back and informed the couple in front of us that their order was "missed" and "not punched in." She wrote their name and order. At this point I asked if she could check our order as well. Minutes later she came back and said that both orders for us and the couple in front of us were missed and food was on the way. One hour later, and most our party has already finished their food, our own orders STILL HAD NOT ARRIVED. After asking the waiter one more time, food came out three minutes later. Food was very normal and FOOD NOT WORTH 3 HOURS OF WAITING. 1) We were very hungry 2) Waited 3 hours total for food. 3) The first waiter NEVER apologized for not placing in our order 4) Had I not asked the waiter to re-check our order as well, would our order have been missed the entire night? Overall a VERY TERRIBLE experience. Food was average and definitely NOT WORTH WAITING FOR 3 HOURS. Would NOT recommend coming to this place. read more

* Now open for lunch * They are now open for lunch, so I finally made it in to check it out. There are very mixed reviews here on Yelp, and it seems that a lot of the negative experiences have to do with dinner time service, so take my review for what it is worth as it is only based upon my own lunch experience there. The crowd at lunchtime was mostly business people (I saw a lot of real estate types reviewing listings with clients, etc.). Anyway, on to the food.....I had the bo luc lac. The beef was very tender, having a nice marinade on it. It was cooked perfectly, with the outside of each cube being nicely seared, and the inside still being juicy. The sauce was flavourful without being overly salty as sometimes is the case with this dish for me. The tomato rice had a nice rich flavour, and was cooked well. The cucumber, tomato, and lettuce were uneventful. I would have preferred some watercress to add a little bitterness. Overall this was a very respectable rendition.

Don't get me wrong... I love the food at Phnom Penh (that famous Vietnamese/Cambodian restaurant located in Chinatown). But it's always so busy there that it can take a long time to get a table if you don't show up early. If you're looking for similar food (a bit more stylized) in a visually, more modern restaurant... you just have to head over to Indochine Kitchen + Bar on East Broadway. We've been here a number of times since they opened and have tried most of their menu items. Everything is quite tasty (not exactly like Phnom Penh but good in their own right). We dropped by for lunch one day and the place was practically empty. Which is surprising given these Indochine Garlic Butter Chicken Wings ($12) that you can order here. Juicy meat encased in a lightly crisp exterior... Mmm! Thit Kho ($11) is a Vietnamese dish with spicy braised pork shoulder that's perfect when served over rice. The chili and fish sauce gives the pork a slightly sweet but spicy caramelized taste. The thinly shaved slices of raw beef in their Butter Beef Carpaccio ($15) is slightly cooked from the citrus vinaigrette. Superbly tender (that's why it's called butter beef) and texturally contrasted by the fried garlic chips. As their name suggests, they also serve a number of drinks here. It's a great spot to drop by for some wings and a sip of your favourite libation. read more

Wow. I'm not sure what to say. Its the first day of the playoffs and we know its going to be busy, so we called at noon to see if they take reservations. The lady that picked up the phone said they do not take reservations since it is the playoff. It is first come, first serve basis. OK, fair enough. So, at 6:30pm we called to see how busy they are. This other lady now said they are fully booked until the game ends! I told her that when I called at noon that lady said there is no reservation allowed. This one said, "No, nobody would say that we here. We always allow reservations." I asked her, "Ok, so what time is the next table available?" Her reply was, "Oh, whenever the game ends." I really don't know what to say to her except bye (without the good, though). read more

Indochine Kitchen - Daily Specials - Asian Fusion Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

We returned to Indochine for $10.99 house lager beer pitcher and to try the rest of the menu. I enjoyed the black pepper poutine (with ground beef and a fried egg), but it was more a novelty than anything. The egg added nothing and it needed more cheese. I liked the beefy, Asian-style gravy. The raw butter beef carpaccio (with citrus Vietnamese vinaigrette, garlic chips, and cilantro) went down well with a tangy, flavourful taste. I've already thoroughly dissected all three kinds of their chicken wings. You can't beat the half-price Wednesday specials. The garlic butter wings were still tasty and full of MSG. The papaya salad (with basil, mint, crushed peanuts, sweet chili soy dressing, and beef jerky) was fine and fairly standard. It's a nice pick me up. I thought the bacon-wrapped grilled enoki mushrooms spoke for themselves, good yet a little unremarkable. We mainly went for the beer special, but Indochine does provide good eats at decent prices with great everyday specials in a central location. read more

2.5 stars. Music is so loud, feels like eating at a bar on Granville. Came here on a Wednesday night for a big group dinner. Wings are half off on Wednesday so the place was quite busy. The wings are similar to Phnom Penh but not as good. Dragonboy and I started with the beef poutine with a fried egg. Fries were good but definitely not enough cheese or beef. Then we had lemongrass chicken and beef luc lac. Was expecting it to be like Phnom Penh but it was nowhere near the same. Lemongrass chicken was nothing great. You're better off ordering it at a legit viet restaurant. Luc lac was chunky and a little tough. Best part was the tomato rice. The bill was a lot less than we expected it to be. About $30 for both of us including auto gratuity. Overall, an ok experience. It was good they accepted reservations and could accommodate a large group (about 15 people). Be prepared to scream a little across the table as the music is so loud. read more

Came here for wings Wednesday to catch up with the girls. I was told that this restaurant was associated with Penom Penh (PP) and that their butter garlic chicken wings were identical. To share among the 3 of us we ordered 1 butter garlic and 1 hot sriracha wings to start. The server told us the honey garlic isn't available today- which is too bad since that's my favorite! The butter garlic was heavenly- perfectly batter, flavored and deep fried. It was very similar to PP, even coming with the same lime and fish sauce dip. The hot wings were OK- very saucy and mildly hot. There were about 8 wings in each order for $6 ($12 regularly). We were still hungry and proceeded to order another butter garlic wings and their beef luk luk which I love and always order at PP. The beef luk luk was very disappointing. The beef were in cubes rather than strips- which is fine, but the sauce was just lacking the full bodied flavor that PP offers and the beef wasn't very tender. It was with rice that was red- I'm guessing tomato rice? Couldn't tell but it didn't add to the dish. I was really disappointed with this dish and hoped Indochine would cure my fix for PP without having to wait in line. I'd come back again but only on wings Wednesdays. read more

Whatever they did in their kitchen, we were having fireworks in every fusion dish. A must try place. Walls were charred noir and thumped to old school hip hop. The cubicle ambience was casual and our servers were genuinely friendly and helpful. We eagerly went for the appetizers, and I advise not to skip this part at Indochine. The Papaya salad had the right kick of tangy flavor and spiciness, with the perfect amount of lime juice, topped with shredded beef jerky to add savory. Butter Beef Carpaccio is an amazing beef lover dish with an asian twist: a Vietnamese item popular in gatherings, because what meat lover isn't impressed with thinly sliced raw beef buttery and slightly cooked with lime and vinaigrette, garnished with cilantro and crushed peanuts? The Black Pepper Poutine is a must try snack; it was perfect for me since it wasn't too cheesy on our order; I loved the fried egg on top. Onto the mains, you can dine easy with the Beef Luc lac because all you need is a fork: diced fried steak cubes in garlic butter soy sauce, with aromatic egg tomato fried rice to pair. The Coconut Red Curry stew with beef brisket was prominent, and a delicious sauce-to-rice meal. Finally, the Singaporean seafood Laksa was a creamy coconut broth that precedes its fiery side, filled with prawns, tofu, fish balls, and vermicelli noodles. I recommend starting out with the Beef Luc Lac. It's relatively neutral, won't burn your throat, and not overly exotic because it's steak. Delicious! Will try the Hainese Chicken and their wings on the next visit. read more

Had dinner here for the first time last night. Chicken wings were great and the atmosphere is definitely geared towards a younger crowd.

My go to spot on Wednesdays! They have specials throughout the week, but on Wednesdays they offer 1/2 off Butter Chicken Wings :) The wings are a must- they're somewhat like the wings at Phnom Penh but they're a bit smaller and crispier. The sauce and topping are a little different as well but give it a try, they're delicious. I love the Thit Kho: It's a braised pork shoulder with a tasty sweet/spicy sauce. I like to eat very spicy foods so I actually ask for extra peppers and eat it with the pork, but if you don't like things too spicy just don't break the peppers open into the sauce. It may not seem like a lot of food when you first see it, but with a big bowl of rice that's included in the meal it's very satisfying and filling. I also like the Shredded Chicken Vermicelli in Soup: it's a super flavorful soup with chicken, crispy shallots, cilantro, and scallions. It's not too heavy, since they use the "fun see" clear vermicelli noodles. I also like: Vietnamese Beef Stew Singaporean Laksa For good Asian food at a very reasonable price, it's a cool place to check out. I usually go for lunch, but it is much louder at night when they go for the more lounge/bar atmosphere change. If you don't like dining in a noisy room, definitely head over for lunch instead of dinner. I just couldn't give it 5 stars because occasionally the food takes a while to come out, or comes out all at different times when they are very busy. read more

Came in for a quick lunch. Was seated promptly! However, I believe there was only 1 vegan thing on the menu (so that's what I had). A disappointment that even the veggie and some tofu dishes still had sauces and broths that had animal products in them. Yes, I asked about modifications and no, they could not guarantee somethings were free of animal products. What I had was delicious, though. Would have been even better with a bit firmer tofu, but beggars can't be choosers. read more

Came here for the first time for their Wednesday wing special (50% off) with my boyfriend around 6:30 for dinner. It wasn't busy and we got our seats right away. Indochine is a small restaurant with an intimate setting. I found the tables a little too close to each other, it was slightly awkward. Boyfriend thought the music was a little too loud and asked them to turn it down a notch. We shared two plates of wings, two tapas and a main. The Butter Beef Carpaccio came first - I liked it but I always find the vinaigrette to be slightly overpowering wherever I go. We tried the Indochine Garlic Butter & Honey Garlic chicken wings. Honey Garlic was average. The boyfriend & I were expecting the Garlic Butter to be similar to the ones from Phnom Penh but these ones were spicy! I wish the menu warned us about the spice :/ cause we weren't a fan of the heat. I preferred the chicken itself better here because it was meatier & moist :) so that was a plus! Next was the Crab Stuffed Portobello, a baked portobello mushroom stuffed with crab, 3 cheeses and scallions. Didn't taste much of the scallion (if there was any), the dish leaned towards the salty side for me ... couldn't really tell what I was tasting after awhile. For our main, we had the Vietnamese Beef Stew. We had a choice of rice or French baguette - we went with the rice. It was what you expect, nothing notable about this dish. Ordered and would've wanted to try the Mango & Avocado Salad but I think our server forgot to punch it in (although it was the first thing I ordered) so I told her to just cancel it. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here. Nothing blew me away but I'd come back with my girlfriends to try their drinks. read more

Decided to come here after a long day of work cause i was too lazy to cook. I had a headache so it was not the greatest idea to go there as they normally have music blasting...not a smart move! The laska noodle and wings is something I would always get..must try if you! Decided to try something new and ordered the bacon wrapped enoki...it was BBQ style I guess so it was a bit dry and bland for my likings. Overall the service was good except there was a small wait for the food being served. Our food was brought to us all at different times so I had to wait for my partner to get his food before I could really dig in and enjoy. I would normally come here for late night drinks with my friends so decided to give this place a try for dinner. I would say that I prefer to come to this restaurant for drinking nights as it's hard to talk with friends during the day. But I would still recommend this place if you've never been. I would recommend for people to go if they want a place to go with alcohol and food. read more

I went here for solo dining and tried garlic butter chicken wings. There was a table of couple behind me who got food faster than I did. At the same time the restaurant wasn't busy. I had to wait little longer just to get their GB chicken wings. By the time it was ready, wings were hot, crispy and very juicy. It had both garlic and some chilli flavour to it which was nice, but too garlicky. Waitress also gave me some dipping sauce and it tasted better without the sauce in my opinion. Chicken wings were alright, but ended up feeling very thirsty. read more

It is with a heavy heart that I am writing such a negative review for Indochine Kitchen. I had such high hopes for the restaurant, given its relationship to our local go-to spot of Phnom Penh and its positioning as a higher end establishment. Summary: Service - 0/5, Food - 2/5, Ambiance - 1/5 Service - As some other reviews have mentioned, the service at Indochine Kitchen is worse than bad. I will get into the gory details in the next two paragraphs. Before that, I feel that it's important to say that there was one member of the entire staff who seemed to be making an earnest effort to provide proper service (to the entire restaurant!!), but she clearly did not have the support of their colleagues. Okay, the details: Half of our table was completely neglected by our table's server (i.e. no greeting, no menus, no water, no service...). Our server was not exactly busy - she could be seen at various points during our visit standing at the bar chatting with her colleagues (not even patrons). We eventually waved down another member of the staff who took our orders. Sadly, when our food arrived, 40% of the orders were incorrect, either missing ingredients or completely forgotten. When you thought it couldn't get worse... towards the end of the meal, I made one final request to our server (who was more than happy to be present and chatty while taking our payments which had an 18% gratuity applied) to help pack up a (near untouched) dish to go. My request was acknowledged, and you guessed it, nothing was done. Our table stayed another 10 minutes chatting, and still nothing. I decided to not bother with it. Food - Two pluses for the restaurant: the quality of ingredients used is generally pretty good, and the technique for deep frying is solid. With that said, nearly all of the dishes fell short on delivery (exception: butter beef). I feel compelled to also mention that the chicken wings were tasty, but where it fell short was that it felt like eating batter since there was so little meat on it. Ambiance - The layout of the restaurant was super packed, meaning a very loud restaurant and constant bumping of chairs with other diners. The lighting was too dark to properly read the menus (which we eventually received...). The washroom was not well cleaned. Just ew. -- Normally a second chance is given to restaurants that don't deliver because it was potentially an off day, but Indochine Kitchen simply has no excuse. read more

Wanted to come here because Indochine is opened by the same family as Phnom Penh in chinatown. Came on a Thursday night... YAY, no line up! I wasn't expecting it to be a bar-like type of restaurant when I walked in - loud music, dark, self seated, servers wearing short shorts/rompers, TVs airing sport channels...etc etc. I was quite certain I stepped into a bar. WAIT, there was a kid sitting next to my table...never mind... (at that point I was very confused whether Indochine is a restaurant or a bar). ANY HOW, my friends and I decided to order Thursday special - $8 pitcher beer Beef & Lime Carpaccio Chicken Wings: Honey Garlic Thit Kho Singaporean Laksa Vietnamese Beef Stew The food overall were very tasty. However, I don't think I will come back again because there was nothing very memorable about this restaurant in my opinion. read more

I've been hearing about "Phnom Penh but with an atmosphere" so my friends and I went to check it out late night. Like it's predecessor Indochine does not take any reservations, so be prepared to wait while you watch other 20 somethings drink pitchers of beer. The butter beef, chicken wings, and luc lac rice are exactly what you'll get at Phnom Penh. Selection wise it's fair, though not as expansive as Phnom Penh. Good selection of beer on special if you're adventurous. I relived some childhood memories with San Miguel. If you feel like late night and trendy then it's worth going. read more

Service 0 / 5 Common theme here re service...as a diner, a basic expectation is to be served and in a somewhat timely manner -- fail on both, as after 17 minutes post being seated, and others who were seated after us being served, and it being less than 1/2 full, we still had to go up to the bar to flag down a server! Food -1 / 5 Another basic expectation is for a kitchen to serve food that has been properly prepared- fail!! Wife ate a piece or two of the Singapore Teriyaki chicken before noticing that the texture was not right. Upon further examination, difficult given the rather dim lightning, we determined it looked quite under-cooked...kitchen confirmed this fact...hoping she does not get sick from the piece. Don't recall if there was an apology but they took it off the bill after we said we did not want to have them replace the dish...we would think so, as we never really ate the dish, given that it was borderline raw. read more

I live in this area for over 10 years and see the changes and upcoming new restaurants in the neighbourhood, most are ok to awful. We went here to try something new since it looked nice inside. Big mistake. The restaurant is run by young 20's Asian girls that are not properly dressed to host or to attend to guests. I have a strong feeling that they didn't get their $ to open this establishment legally, if you know what I mean. Friends of theirs were dining there, came in Porsches and BMWs. They were no kid from a West. Van, but from the wrong crowd that I wouldn't want my kid to hang out with. They played rap during our dinner and I felt I was in some cheap joint place in east LA. If you like the crowd that hangs out on Granville st until 4am, then dine here. If the food was amazing here, and brought an interesting food category to this neighbourhood, I would welcome them. But this is not so the case. It's not classy place as it appears to be. The food was ok to bad.Portion was small and pricey. There were 3 of us and we ordered 3 dishes; squid, back ribs and laksa. Laksa had 1 prawn and noodles was extremely soggy. Squid had no tentacles and wasn't hot and crisp on the outside. It came with Sambal sauce, which didn't enhance flavour of the squid, but rather a lazy way of trying to appear that it was a special sauce. Something I could do at home for $2. Baby ribs were good, but again for $10 for about 6 pieces? YOu could get the same items at GUU for 30% less and more portion with much more flavour. Needless to say we went down the street on w.broadway to eat at Tang noodles because we were still hungry! Trust me, we are tiny girls and usually when we go to Guu, we would spend the same amount, but we would be full. I would never return and I don't recommend it for those that are over 30 who are not into the 'rowdy' type of atmosphere. Hearing curse words spoken by the table next to us every 2 seconds while you are trying to swallow bland food is a foodie's worst nightmare. I've experienced mine. read more

Indo-credible! Indochine has been one of my go to restaurants as of late for lunch and dinner. If you're ever in the market for "Asian comfort food", this is definitely a trip your taste buds will appreciate! A definition of comfort food would generally encompass a sense of tradition mixed with nostalgic appeal. Although infused with a hint modernity, Indo's traditional Southeast Asian cuisines can be found all over town, at your famous neighbourhood Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Chinese restaurants such as Phnom Penh etc...However, if you've had the opportunity to eat at many of these restaurants then you would notice the lack of care and attention that's provided beyond the food, such as the ambiance, cleanliness, and service. This is where Indo-SHINES above and beyond the rest of the competition. The servers are very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating; the ambiance is romanticizing, exuding a sense of peace and calm set within a backdrop of sophistication; and the cleanliness of the restaurant and its washrooms offering complimentary grooming and hygienic products would impress Mr. Clean himself! The best of both worlds with daily and happy hour specials such as wings Wednesdays for example, Indochine Kitchen is also accompanied with a full bar, filled with fun, and exotic cocktails, wines, and beers! The prices are very competitive, the service is great, the restaurant is contemporary fun mixed with elegance, and the food is definitely what keeps me coming back for more! Just give it a shot, you won't be disappointed! read more

Late night Phnom Penh chicken wangs??? Shut the front door! I almost drive out to the wrong location when I first Yelped and Google mapped it. I plugged the name in and the results where Victoria & 54 ave..... that's NOT the location! This place only opened about a month ago and I guess here's its' first review of my experience here. Bare in mind that they are still in their "wet paint" stage of the menu and will be establishing a full menu soon. If you're driving here at night, trust me, you can't miss this place! Brightest star on the block illuminating their name on the corner of Broadway & Ontario. Big windows along 2 of it's wall and a possible patio on the side? Upon walking in, I noticed that have 3 big screens for this small joint and they were replaying the game from earlier today.... yeah I'm starting to like the place already! A full bar serving out Asian tapas style food. So apparently, this place got some ties with the restaurant that we call know so well, Phnom Penh (http://www.yelp.com/biz/phnom-penh-vancouver#hrid:GDa5lsb3zZivWla0gRZVFw). Similar style of food, however not the exact same. They got the butter beef, chicken wings, and papaya salad here. Food here seems imitated from the mother restaurant but however not the exact same recipe. Don't get me wrong, it's not that's it's worse cause it's not the same, however it's actually still pretty good. We had the Butter Beef, Thai Chicken Salad, Grilled Squid, and of course Chicken Wangs. Everything tasted very good and we loved it all 'cept the squid, bad choice. The beef well seasoned and tasted very good. The Thai Chicken Salad, was sliced chickens, onions, cilantro, fried garlic, what tossed with what I think is a fish sauce dressing. Simple dish with bold flavours. But Michael, what about the da wangs? Hold your horses, best for last. I know all of you are dying to know and all I gotta say about them are..... damn... That's pretty darn close to the real thing. The dip is probably the closest I've ever tired and the flavour of the wings are pretty close, however the batter itself is a miss. This batter resembled more of that of the Chinese salt & pepper squid. The batter wasn't as crispy of that of their predecessor. To compare wangs to wangs... Sorry Indochine, Phnom Penh is still my first love, but to judge just your wings... they're awesome! You guys are off to a good start and would love to visit again soon when the new menu comes out. read more

See all

More like Indo-shine. Caspian love this little joint. Servers are mad cute, fast and friendly and the food is no joke. Do you like the chicken wings at Phnom Penh? They got the same ones. Like beef rendang or luc lac? Indochine represents. Good specials through the week and a little patio along the side to kick it in the sunshine and have yoself a lychee mojito. read more

They're in their soft opening stage, so this isn't much of a review. Decor is dark and loungey, friendly and attractive waitresses a la Hapa. Word on the street is the owner's uncle runs Phnom Penh. They don't have a lot of drinks on their menu available just yet, and only one page of appetizer-like items. Had the chicken wings, Thai chicken salad, and beef and lime salad. Everything I ordered seemed pretty spicy! The chicken wings, while good, don't taste anything like Phnom Penh's - they are spicy, but comes with the lemon sauce. I probably liked the beef and lime salad the most, came loaded with onions. Scanning the menu, it's got a mix of Asian dishes - laksa, lemon grass chicken skewers, garlic pea shoots.. Nice to have a new hang-out place in this neighbourhood. read more

Butter beef was awesome! Comparable to Phnom Penh, wings were good but not as good PP. Beef luc lac was delicious. Oysters yum but probably wouldn't order that again. Decor is dark, feels like you're going to a pub but the servers were really nice about us having our kid there (no highchairs available but never expected it) but food was so good, will definitely come here again. read more

There's a new kid on the block of West Broadway that offers you similar takes on Cambodia / Vietnamese food with a fusion twist. Indochine brings you food that shadows crowd pleasers as Phnom Penh, but is it the same, better, or shallows in comparison? Once you've drank the Koo-laid, are you able to find another high? It's hard not to compare Indochine to PP... PP already has set the bar so high. Word on the street it is PP's uncle, PP's son that opened shop. It could be the dishwasher who peeks over at the head chefs cooking and tries to mirror their footprints. I taste traces of PP but none that matches. Don't get me wrong. The place is not bad, but it's hard not to measure them with the same ruler. It is Sunday afternoon and the place was genuinely empty. PP would've had line ups out the door with over an hour wait. INDOCHINE Garlic Butter Chicken Wings 9.50: Garlic chips and lemon pepper dipping sauce. Wings were fresh, tasty, and spicy; although slightly on the anorexic side. The MSG goodness still cannot compete with PP's. Wings also comes in Honey Garlic and Sriracha Buffalo flavours. Wednesday's special is 1/2 price wings. 4.25 for 9 pieces is a great deal. Butter Beef Carpaccio 12: Buttery slices of raw beef in a citrus Vietnamese vinaigrette, garlic chips and cilantro. Hands down PP is much better. Indochine's were tough and chewy and the sauce was missing the tanginess and the punch. Papaya Salad 7.50: Shredded green papaya, basil, mint, crushed peanuts and sweet chilli soy dressing. Served with your choice of beef jerky or tofu puffs. We chose beef jerky: sliced jerky. I always liked Papaya salads because they are always refreshing and filling. Perhaps easy on the chillis would be better suited for this salad because the spiciness was overpowering. They have a nice little deck patio and great daily specials and a great stop if you are in the area; but I'm not rushing back. Perhaps I am biased towards Phnom Penh (and I can't see who wouldn't) however they probably need to step up their game to attract more customers. read more

Wings are half price on Wednesday's. They aren't as good as Phnom phen but it gets the cravings done. Service barely exists at this place and I think they forgot about my order because tables showed up after mine had food arrived before mine. The servers never came to check up on me and my party. read more
