Great find in New Brunswick! An informal dining experience, very clean. Waiter helpful and prompt. Food excellent! My wife had the Vegetable Rice Plate and I had the Grilled Lemongrass Porkchops. We also each had a Jasmine tea, and the Fresh Spring Rolls (not fried) with chicken and shrimp. The seasoning was unique and very tasty, in particular on the veggies and tofu in my wife's diner, my grilled chops, and the chicken in our spring roll. Each was different and delightful. A big plus for us were the vegan dishes for my daughter. We did takeout for her. She ordered the Curry Tofu and Veg Rice, and veggie egg rolls. Very reasonable for the city. About $85 for all three of us including tip. read more

I found this place because of the great reviews and wanted to try a good bowl of Pho. Let me tell you right away: get the small size! After ordering, I saw people at the next table asking for takeout containers for their leftover Pho, and now I understand why. I ordered the chicken Pho for $17. The portion was enormous, but honestly, I'd recommend the small one for $12, it's definitely enough. The broth was a bit too salty for me and didn't have that deep, rich flavor I usually expect from Pho. There was a lot of chicken and noodles, though, so it's a hearty bowl. The place itself is spacious with plenty of seating, but our table wasn't very clean when we sat down. Service was quick, probably because it wasn't too busy. Overall, not the best pho I've had, but not bad either, a solid 4 stars. read more

Take out for four from this new find in New Brunswick. Had two of the pho (one beef, one veg) soup with banh mi specials - nicely packaged for take-out. Soup was very good and the sandwiches we ate later - everything very fresh and plentiful. One noodle bowl with grilled pork and egg roll and another with just egg roll. The restaurant sliced up the noodles - which was a different format than other restaurants and filled the bowl with fresh cilantro, shredded lettuce and the proteins. Very nice lunch for four. Will definitely try this place again, hopefully in restaurant so the food, especially the pho will be hot. read more

Such a good to go dinner. On my first cold night, all I wanted was something like soup and why not pho. The broth was flavorful and the quantity provided was adequate for the price paid. I did not enjoy the rolls as much and the sauce provided did nothing for the flavors. Will definitely return on my next visit. read more

Simply, great Vietnamese food in New Brunswick. The restaurant is simple and a popular place for takeout but great to eat in as well. The pork and shrimp spring rolls (A4) are massive and delicious, paired with an excellent peanut sauce. We both ordered bun (noodle bowls) which were MASSIVE and covered in "toppings". LOVE that many come with a little egg roll as a part of the bowls, but the noodle bowl with grilled chicken, shrimp & eggroll (N5) was full of protein and the vinegar fish sauce "dressing" was perfect with the vermicelli rice noodles. Highly recommend and looking forward to coming back. read more

When I tell you how hard this broth hit my frozen bones from the wintry weather?! It was blustery out and we came in for a delicious pho soup and it did not miss! We were greeted by the staff very warmly. She helped us with our selections and we were very pleased with how great it was. The place was spotless and it was a very chill vibe.

The service here was good. There was one server - she was polite, efficient managing all the guests, and clear with her guidances. I have nuts and sesame allergies and she was aware of the ingredients in dishes enough to tell me if it was safe for me or not and I appreciate that greatly. Ambiance is good for New Brunswick, it gives clean, chill, hangout vibes - not your date night spot. The quantity of food is perfect and large for the price. The food itself was delicious! I ordered chicken lemongrass and veggies with rice - she did not charge me extra for rice and the chicken was loaded with veggies and flavor - I was so happy with the balanced meal. I'd come back again read more

Indochine - Veggie noodles with egg rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

A charming Vietnamese stop in New Brunswick, they have a variety of dishes to try and something for everyone. We were craving pho on our most recent trip and this shop was just down from Smashville where we had eaten the previous night. The shop was empty aside from one other patron. We were greeted by a hostess/cashier and she told us to sit where ever and took our orders. I got the pho steak and husband got the pho steak/brisket combo and we split an order of pork/shrimp summer rolls. The price is a bit higher than what we usually pay back home but once our food came it was well worth it! The summer rolls had a bbq style pork and were wrapped very tightly so the filling didnt spill out when you bite into them, a common problem I run into. The pho was steaming hot and served in a huge bowl. Once it cooled it was very flavorful and tasty. As we sat we did see a lot of take out orders going out, so much so the kitchen did get a little backed up. (We heard people had to wait a few extra minutes to get their orders) Overall if you're craving pho and don't mind paying a little extra this was a nice, quiet restaurant off the main drag serving a great bowl of pho. read more

It's a good Pho place. I like Vietnamese food. We started with a good fried eggroll with lettuce and basil to wrap. Then we had a chicken dish and a noodle dish, both delicious. We finished off with a fried banana--an overall satisfying lunch. It was near Rutgers University, and there was a parking deck nearby. I recommend it if you search for a decent pho place near the Rutgers campus. Nicely decorated. Near campus, so many young students come to eat there. Also, the service was attentive and good. read more

We always get great food and service at this small place. Nothing better that a hot bowl of Pho on a cold winter day, over the years, the menu has expanded to more non soup dishes. We started with the fried spring rolls. They were nice and crisp. They came with a mild sweet and sour sauce. This tine, we both opted for the chicken Pho, what a great choice in crummy weather. I always enjoy the fact that they have a bottle of sriracha and hoisin sauce on the table. I always enjoy adding them to the very tasty soup base. read more

Came on a weekend evening to an empty restaurant. There was one employee sitting behind the counter, with her feet on the desk on her phone. After an awkward few seconds, she reluctantly sat us. Food was very underwhelming. Egg rolls were good, the grilled pork banh mi was bland (this was my fault as I assumed it was the traditional BBQ pork banh mi which I didn't see on the menu), and ginger chicken was very average. Much better Vietnamese spots just a few miles down the road in Edison. read more

Excellent selection of vegetarian options. The owner/hostess was hospitable and offered me a steam tofu option with the vegetarian pho..they made it spicy and gave me sliced cut jalapeños. Well flavored with sufficient amount of vegetables, tofu and rice noodles. Look forward to visiting this place next time I'm in the New Brunswick area. read more

Indochine - V3. Vegetable Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

If you're trying Vietnamese food for the first time, I wouldn't eat here. I'd recommend Pho Today or Pho Anh Dao because they are Viet owned and have authentic dishes. I wanted to try this place because it was closer and I was craving for Vietnamese food. I ordered on DoorDash Pho Tai and the Beef and Onion Rice Platter (R3) and it came within 20 minutes (that's quick in my opinion). At first glance, I appreciate the takeout containers bc you can pour the soup directly into the takeout bowl and eat from it. Other pho restaurants would require you to have a spare bowl or eat from home. The meat portion in the pho tai is okay for the price (a bit pricy from what I'm used to) and the broth lacks flavor. Im not sure what is it but its not what I'm used to. As for the Beef and Onion Rice Platter, it was dry and didn't have much sauce. I took a bite and didn't want to continue eating it. Although this place has Vietnamese dishes, it doesn't seem authentic to me. I personally wouldn't eat here again. read more

My all time favorite restaurant and a true New Brunswick gem! I've been coming to Indochine since I was a freshman at Rutgers almost 10 years ago! Since then, I have introduced my sisters, parents, and anyone willing (or not) to try Vietnamese food to Indochine. Glad to report no one has been disappointed yet! The menu is vegetarian friendly and has an entire section devoted to vegetarian options. My go-tos are the vermicelli noodles with tofu and vegetables, vegetable egg rolls, and vegetarian banh mi with seasoned fries. *I may or may not be salivating as I write this out.* The fam is a big fan of the vegetable pho and vegetable spring rolls. The Vietnamese iced coffee, Vietnamese hot coffee, and Thai iced tea are also fantastic. More importantly, over the years and through COVID, the quality of the food has not changed. I enjoy the take out as much as I do dining in. I can't comment on the authenticity of the food, but this was my first experience with Vietnamese food and this is the standard to which I compare all other Vietnamese establishments. Nowhere else has lived up to the expectations Indochine has set for me. The only way Indochine could be more perfect is if it was open on weekends. read more

The sweet spot in New Brunswick for lunch & dinner! Kicking it off right, the banh mi sandwich is freaking astounding! I went with the Grilled Pork which was just superb, the right amount of crispy bread to the flavorful accouterments. You also gotta go for the pho, a traditional favorite that if you order to-go, the amount of food and broth is ridiculous. The broth game was strong and 1 order turned into a few meals for the evening and even a quick breakfast the next day. Garnishments were placed separately from the broth so I could add as much or as little as I preferred including onions, cilantro, green onions, bean sprouts, jalapeño peppers, lime, and Asian basil. I had ordered P1, the Phở Đặc Biệt, which came with the rare steak, brisket, tendon, and tripe, all of which were excellent. A cute atmosphere with great people & great service, right on George Street, I must have walked by a couple of times before I realized where it was. I feel like it gets a little lost in it's surrounding building fronts. They have plenty of tables inside and I've seen large groups in there at a time so they are very accommodating no matter the party size. I'll certainly be visiting again for their lunch options, cause they got some curries I gotta get in my belly. read more

Solid pho spot. First time trying pho. Staff was nice and explained everything well. Ordered chicken pho and the vegetarian pho. Chicken pho was a bit bland and no veggies at all.

Place is clean, also was suggested to get one pho to share and get a bunch of apps. It is downtown New Brunswick so parking can be a pain. Reason for not giving it a four is the staff in the kitchen was sooo so loud and screaming. It was very annoying and bothering n. read more

Had a chance to try out Indochine and it was an excellent experience. The neatly organized restaurant was clean, roomy, and bright. The menu was not all that different from most Vietnamese restaurants; offering Pho, Bun, and rice dishes along with Bahn Mi's. Not being a big fan of Pho, I chose my favorite dish in the Bun with grilled pork and eggroll ("N2." on Indochine's menu). It was a good choice as it was really delicious! The grilled pork was excellent with a slight char and plenty of distinct herbaceous Vietnamese flavors (think lemongrass, lime, cilantro, etc.). Providing a nice contrast in texture were the eggrolls; super crispy and also containing a delicious flavored minced pork filling inside. The often overlooked bun (rice vermicelli noodles) were cooked perfectly to my liking; tender (yet still having a pleasant chew) which allowed it to absorb the fresh Nuoc Cham (Vietnamese dipping sauce), and also the tableside condiments of Sriracha and hoisin sauce. I ordered a traditional ("S1" on their website) Bahn Mi as a takeaway, as I decided it would be a dinner treat. When I took my first bite; I could tell it was one if the best versions I've eaten. All the traditional ingredients were present with the pate, ham, and fresh cilantro being the most notable. My only negative was I wish the vegetables were a bit more pickled. The baguette was as it should be... crispy and flaky. Indochine was one of the better Vietnamese food experiences I've had in NJ. read more

I'd been wanting to eat here for a while. I'm glad I convinced my fiance to eat dinner here tonight. Indochine was located in a smaller location on Spring Street, but they recently relocated to a larger venue on George Street. There is a good selection of Vegetarian dishes, including Veggie Pho. I ordered the Veggie Spring Rolls and Tofu with a Tomato Sauce (I don't remember the name in Vietnamese) Our food came out super quick! They brought out our entrees while we were still finishing our spring rolls. I really liked the spring rolls, fresh, soft "egg roll skin", and sweet 'n spicy peanut sauce. I've never had tofu with tomato sauce, but it was good. I'll have it for leftover lunch tomorrow. I'm not sure how "authentic" the restaurant is since the owner isn't Vietnamese. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my meal overall: Americanized Vietnamese food, 3.5 stars. read more

I'm a pretty tough Pho critic. One of my favorite Pho places to go to is Nha Trang One in Chinatown NYC. They're a stiff competitor for anyone in the pho business. Indochine is fresh, hot and tasty at all times. I have enjoyed a few appetizers, pork chops over rice and their pho selections. Goui Con Chicken and Shrimp and their Goui Con Pork and Shrimp are really great rolls/starters. Crispy not greasy with pronounced garlic and ginger hints. Their beef pho was on point. Surprisingly. I have high expectations for broth and am often disappointed. No disappointment here though! Their broth was rich and meaty. Ingredients such as onion, hoisin sauce, fresh basil and chili paste elevated this broth to a next level. They weren't skimpy with the meats nor the fresh basil. This is a casual sit down or take out joint. The servers are very attentive and respond quickly to your needs. They're good for Pho and other Vietnamese foods such as Banh mi. I've heard they were really good but never got the chance to actually try it. read more

My all time FAVORITE pho place! I've been coming here for years and now that I don't live in the area I make a stop whenever I'm in town. The food is phenomenal. I've tried many of their dishes but the vegetarian pho with tofu is my favorite. I had the shrimp spring rolls for the first time today and they were superior to any I've had anywhere else. It's a small joint large enough for groups or couple outings. Parking is limited to the street or the garage. The jasmine green tea cold brew is also good if you're looking to cut back on the sugar and dairy in the Thai tea. read more

Came here for lunch with a group of 6 on a whim just wandering down George Street. Definitely an attractive looking place from the outside and the vibe inside is also very zen. It's small and quaint, but relaxing. I imagine when it gets full, you'll be overhearing a lot of conversations, which isn't a problem for me - but may have been a problem for everyone else when we visited! I initially ordered a salad and the rest of the table ordered Bahn Mi or Pho. All the food looked great, but when the waitress stopped by with the food she let me know they were "out of the salad". A bit of a bummer because I was really looking forward to it and was watching my calories but I went with a Bahn Mi. Why she didn't check in with the kitchen - or perhaps why the kitchen didn't inform her sooner, I don't know. A little awkward as my company wanted to wait until I had a plate but I insisted they eat without me. The waitress apologized and we moved on. Despite that little gaffe, the Bahn Mi I ordered was fantastic and I'm glad I was forced into a change! Food was warm, fresh, and prepared quickly. The price was fair and frankly perfect at under $9. I'm looking forward to returning and skipping the salad and going right into the Bahn Mi or a giant bowl of Pho. Would be 5/5 if we didn't have that little service bump. The turnover on affordable restaurants on George Street is depressing. I visit a couple times a year and it looks starkly different every time I walk downtown. Here's hoping this quality restaurant stays around for my next trip! read more

Walking down George street, in search of lunch, this was the one venue that was open and also populated- a sign that it offered good fare. The restaurant interior was remarkable in how tidy and colorful it was, down to the cute (punny) art frames in the corner and clean washrooms. Since it was a rather hot day, we went with a classic bánh mì. I was surprised at how large the sandwich was (two halves of probably at least a foot-long baguette). While it wasn't very spicy, the bottle of Sriracha on the table satisfied our need for heat. Overall, this was a solid Vietnamese venue, albeit a little pricey. read more

Still, consistently wonderful, even with take-out. Can't wait to go back when inside dining isn't regulated any more.

Been here a few times over the past year and I must say, the food is pretty good. They also seem to have built up a pretty decent following. I never used to go in here as it seemed fairly empty, but over he last few years, the number of diners seems to be steadily building. I've had there Pho, vegetable rolls and tofu sandwich. The pho is very good. Not too salty and the broth is seasoned really well. Portion size is good as well. The vegetable rolls are absolutely delicious when dipped in the peanut sauce. They are also a decent size. The tofu sandwich is excellent. Vietnamese sandwiches made with tofu are the only time I can even go near tofu since I usually hate it. This sandwich however is delicious. The jalapeños, special mayo and carrots etc really bring this sandwich home and make you feel like you're eating a delicious chicken sandwich. Service has always pretty quick and I've usually been in and out in a short period of time. There are plenty of tables in the restaurant and the vibe is very laid back. No special decor, just good food. read more
