Authentic Vietnamese family run business, pho was great. Staff were super attentive to our large group and very friendly. The wooden tables and wall decorations remind me of my bà ngoại's home.

Spring rolls
Sigrid W.

It really doesn't look like much from the outside and the surrounding area also looks a bit run down. However, a visit here is well worth it. Inside it looks more like an old bar, with an actual bar taking up most of the front part of the restaurant. Towards the back is a lot more seating as well as a karaoke stage. The whole place looks a bit outdated, BUT... the food is great. The menu is quite extensive and I had a tough time deciding what to go with. I really enjoyed my spring rolls and my bowl of rice noodles with beef, not sure of the official name. The server continuously refilled our waters and was always ready to fulfill all of our needs. The portions here are very generous and the prices were really affordable. Come here for the great food, not the ambiance.

Banh mi and Pho
Lauren W.

This is one of my favorite places in Indy! The service is so quick for both takeout and dine in and the people are so sweet. The restaurant is definitely a hole in the wall, but it does the job and the food is so good and authentic!

Great Food and quick. Food was presented nicely Love this dish and it tasted good Very tasty and yummy

Oolong boba - Min
Min X.

The stewed catfish is absolutely fire--so flavorful and cooked perfectly, with rich seasoning that really stands out. It's easily the highlight of the meal and something I'd order again. The spring rolls are also good and make a nice, light starter before the main dish. The restaurant itself is very quiet and clean, which makes it a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. Service is very fast, and everything comes out quickly while still tasting fresh. Overall, it was a great experience and definitely worth coming back for.

Banh Beo 84
Cat S.

Yes it's worth it! Banh Beo (B4) is excellent! It's soooo good. Im coming back just for this. I think I just found my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Indy. Their vermicelli with beef and egg roll (34 Bun Thor Heo) is delicious too but the Banh Beo is the star. I practically ate the whole appetizer by myself even though it's a sharing dish. Pho-ever shirt from the woman is a lovely touch and the really cool grandpa who took my order was really kind and friendly. You can tell this is a beloved family own place. I'll definitely come back.

Great for Any Meal. These fresh spring rolls are perfect for a quick snack or light meal. Healthy, flavorful, and easy to eat!

Chicken pho
Ata A.

I had the chicken pho, and it was delightful! The food and service were great. They offered all of the "fixins" that come traditionally with pho, and were generous with the portion. The environment was relaxed, not rushed, and enjoyable!

Pho with meatball and beef
Chassity B.

This place is delicious! My mom and I often frequent this one for our "pho Sundays". The service is quick and attentive and my order is always correct. The pho is always flavorful with a large portion and the prices are not bad at all. Recommend!

A little pricey and not the best quality. It is a decent option if you're looking for something different on the East side.

I ate a sushi burrito in LA in like 2019, and then couldn't stop thinking about it for years…read more Little did I know, sushi burritos exist in Indy! My friend had been telling me about her favorite bubble tea spot for months, and when we finally went, I was so happy to see they also have custom poke and sushi burritos and delicious onigiri options. The inside is super cute and was very clean when we went. Service is quick and unfussy, so this would be a great option if you need to pick up a to go order, but it's also a nice spot to stop for a quick lunch break. It's cozy and quiet so could even be a good place to work or study if you're looking off the beaten path on Mass Ave. Aside from the onigiri, most of the food is totally custom and made to order, so you can really get whatever you want. You order on a paper menu like at a sushi restaurant, picking exactly what you like--and honestly, you can go wild here. For the base price of $11.50 (for burritos and bowls), you pick your base, protein, up to two sauces, and then add as many of the mix-ins and toppings as you want. A steal, imo! There are several ways to make this vegetarian (I got tofu), and it could be gluten free, too, if you're careful about sauces. I ordered my burrito and a peach black tea with aloe jelly. Now I can't stop dreaming of the tea, either. Will be back asap. This is better than LA!

I live so close but have never been. Now that I've tried it I keep wanting to go back! I got the…read morewhite peach tea with aloe jelly. It was amazing! I also got a one protein poke bowl. It was super fresh and filling! You order food by filling out a printed piece of paper at the center round table in the center of the restaurant. You check off what you'd like. If you just want a drink you can order at the counter. Service was quick! I liked the atmosphere! It felt cozy and intimate. There's not a whole lot of seating, but the restaurant is also on the smaller side. Everything is packaged to be able to take to go though!

This is in the middle of a strip mall. When you walk in, there are different activities for you to…read moredo which usually include some sort of karaoke, VR or video game. There is also a station where you can play vintage games, like a small arcade game station. This place is super cute and has a variety of frozen yogurt selections and they change everyday. There are other options like boba tea, rolled ice cream, shakes, etc. but honestly I come for the frozen yogurt. They have probably more than 40 toppings so there is something for everyone. You can ask for small cups to try flavors if you want. When you're ready to fill your cup, you can select small or large. I tend to go big or go home. Frozen yogurt is by weight so fill up accordingly. I tend to mix a bunch of flavors that I like. I have been going here since it opened years ago. It's one of my favorite places for a sweet treat. They also have two different large tablet-like game tables that has maybe 100ish games that we love. Trouble is a classic! I hope this place is around forever and I recommend to everyone I know.

I drive past this place all the time and never really realized it was here. My friend & I popped in…read moreon a Friday night and it was jumpin! Cutest little spot to grab a boba tea or frozen yogurt. They have seating areas with video games you can play while you're enjoying your sweet treat. They were all being occupied which is a great sign that people love this place! They also have seating outside as well. I ordered a passion fruit boba tea. Next time I plan on grabbing some frozen yogurt. They have a variety different of ice cream you can select from + a full bar of toppings. While I was waiting for my boba tea to be prepared, I noticed a cup of ice cream + loaded with toppings can get PRICEY! A family of 4 checked out with their ice cream + toppings and it was $70! My boba tea was like $8/9, it was delicious! 10/10. Plus, bonus points to Yoya for having cute cups! It's the little things, right?! lol. I will return when I'm in the area~
