    The beers you love from Sun King, paired with a good selection of food vendors. I'm excited King Dough is here now. One of my favorite pizzas is now available, the Destroyer. Service was great even though it was a very busy Saturday. Great area right outside for kids and groups to gather.

    We absolutely love this place. The location is prime in such a great location in Carmel. The service is wonderful! There are great food options, but I think the pizza is the best. It's a beautiful 2-story building with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a really great red--Amber Has Two Moms--and took home a crowler for us and a crowler as a gift for our parents! The bartender was really friendly. We love stopping in Carmel, and at Sun King, whenever we are traveling through Indianapolis.

    Pulled pork Mac and cheese and tenderloin
    Kyle C.

    Very cool atmosphere during a nice day. Food hall food, but service for drinks. Business gets a 5/5 because of the uniqueness. The food was good too. The tenderloin was thick and crispy, the pizza was great. The Mac and cheese had no cheese really but a ton of pulled pork. Service was spotty at best for drinks, only complaint.

    Destroyer King Dough

    We stopped here on our way to March madness. I was a bit sad they had no bubbles for a beermosa but we still made the best of it. I was happy it wasn't too crowded either! Got the destroyer from King Dough as well.

    Just a solid Biergarten with an amazing location. The beer is consistently very good. While they don't have their own food...they do share space with a Couple of smaller joints that are closer to a brick n mortar food truck vibe. There are also a handful of excellent restaurants within a 2 min walk. I'll keep coming back for the beer and great service.

    Back in the fall my mom and I met up for lunch and drinks at Sun King. It's one of our go-to spots because it has a food hall inside of a top notch brewery / distillery. My mom is a creature of habit and normally drinks their cream ale but I encouraged her to branch out and try some seasonal brews with me. We did a flight and her favorite was the Salted Caramel Brownie Porter. While my favorite ended up being the Caramel Apple Tripel because of the barrel aged combination of fruit notes and brown sugar sweetness. Sun King never fails to come up with unique small batch beers, so it doesn't matter what time of year that you decide to visit because the good beer is always flowing!

    Buffalo Chicken Wrap
    CJ D.

    Decks, awnings, turf, buzzing beepers, bells, and whistles - it's all here. This is a double decker food hall, an institution of brew. And yet, amidst the noise, it's nowhere to be found. Sun King stepped into a stadium of top shaggers, saw the floodlights, and ran. Was my meal tasty? Certainly. Clean plate club as always. If somebody bought this Buffalo Chicken Wrap for me I'd be ever grateful. But it's bigger than that. Modern era bar food, located in prime estate on this Monon trail, needs more. In my eyes, an identity is absent. American eatery meets sunny afternoon is a bar flying awfully close to the sun. It requires gumption to survive. Boldness enough to hand me a paper menu covered in ketchup. QR codes are system quarterbacks built upon Defensive Coordinators. In conjunction with those aforementioned beepers, makes an old head out of me. This pairing lauds organization as champion. Where's the chance to experience? Here's the answer. Wrap my meal in tin foil, yell out a number, and let me scurry. Have somebody waiting with a sack, by this point, that's perspired. Imagine Five Guys fry bag. I unwrap this meal upon return to my table and blue cheese is everywhere. You can't make out where the sauce started and meal began. Smiles spread no further than that moment! Capture it. Sell it. In the meantime, Godspeed y'all.

    My friend came into town to visit for my birthday and to kill some time we stopped in. I was a bit disappointed by the level of service they provided so we only stuck with one drink and left. It's a huge establishment with plenty of space for crowds but we just didn't feel very welcomed. We did not order food but it's a bar at the end of the day.

    I'm a flight fan!
    Mary H.

    We were on vacation and popped in here. Very unique location with lots to do. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a flight. The staff were fairly attentive but didn't attempt to connect with us.

The only difference is you order at the table through the QR scanner and you pick up your food at the designated kiosk in the kitchen. There is no face to face interaction with a person, which some people may not like, but it is a great feature at Sun King Fishers because it is constantly busy and you can get your food right away as soon as it is available. I have enjoyed the food at Fishers Test Kitchen very much and will continue to do so every time I come to Sun King Fishers.

She's got sweet potato pie-cookies-brownies parfaits-cupcakes-cheesecake; every treat you can imagine. But be warned-her cheesecakes sell out fast, so beat the rush. She also offers vegan treats as well. 3. Carnitas el tarasco was great as well. Their agua fresca were so fresh. They have different flavors so something to look forward to next time.

I opted for the Traditional Orange Chicken and Teriyaki Chicken with 1/2 fried rice and 1/2 noodles. I'm pretty sure that I was given the newer, spicy version of the Orange Chicken, but I was okay with that. It actually turned out to be very delicious. I also enjoyed the fried rice, but the noodles were a bit dry. I arrived at the store for pick-up, and they had quite a line forming, so I was happy to be able to skip the line and pick up my order right away. I have had issues with previous orders, so I decided to check my order before leaving. I had specified which sauces I wanted, and I had all but the teriyaki sauce, so I asked for some. For some odd reason, I feel like they are always a bit stingy with the teriyaki sauce. I also ordered the veggie spring rolls and they were my absolute favorite part of the entire meal. Next time, I think I'll have the spicy Orange Chicken and several spring rolls! This location is always loud and busy, but it is kept very clean.

    Three years later, and I'm back with an update I honestly didn't expect to write…read more The quality at Hibachi Express has gone downhill. We visited on Valentine's Day and immediately noticed the pricing did not match what was listed online. Every entrée that day ranged from $15.95 to $19.95. If there's holiday pricing, it should be clearly reflected online. Transparency matters. They now charge $1.50 per additional vegetable beyond the cabbage included with the meal. The rice portion was excessive and took up most of the container. My chicken was overcooked, and my seasoning somehow ended up in the shrimp. Everything else lacked any flavoring. I'm pollo-pescatarian, and within 30 minutes, I was dealing with gastrointestinal issues. It felt like there was no separation between proteins when food was cooked, which led to cross-contamination and likely contributed to my getting sick. My husband ordered steak, chicken, and shrimp. He said the steak was overly salty and that both the steak and the chicken were overcooked. Our son ordered steak and chicken hibachi and was so dissatisfied that he ordered steak tacos from another restaurant afterward. Another son ordered the salmon hibachi. The salmon was thin, heavily covered in sauce, overcooked, and the packaging looked sloppy. We spent over $100, excluding the separate order from another restaurant, and as of 2/15, all four containers are still mostly full. That tells you everything. I will be contacting the business to share this experience directly. For that price point, we expected properly prepared and cooked food, transparent pricing, and safe food-handling practices. Unfortunately, this location is no longer on our list. **UPDATE** After my visit, I reviewed recent Marion County Health Department inspection reports and noted multiple critical violations related to improper food holding temperatures, cooling practices, and storage. While violations were reportedly corrected at the time, this added to my concern, given my experience.
