But for however long we had to wait for everything (menus, drinks, to order, our food, the checks), the food made up for it! When I visit a new-to-me Thai restaurant, I usually get the pad Thai or convince someone I'm dining with to get the pad Thai so I can try it. Pad Thai is my litmus test! The pad Thai here at Chiang Mai Thai Noodle was excellent. Perhaps some of the best pad Thai I've eaten in Indy. It wasn't too sweet, which was nice. Sometimes, pad Thai can get a little cloying, but this one was perfectly balanced. I got it with shrimp, which were great and perfectly cooked. Like I mentioned, I visited with a big group. We all got something different, and I also got to try the Crispy Spring Roll. They ain't kidding -- this is one crispy spring roll. The outside shatters with every bite. I think when I come back, I'm definitely getting my own order of these. Other people at my table got things like curry, tom kha soup and crispy basil duck, and every person loved their dishes. The portion sizes are also huge! I feel like you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, here. One thing to note: Their spice level goes from 1 to 6, with 6 being the hottest. A couple of us wanted mild and chose a 2, and it was way too spicy! So if you truly want a mild dish, just go with a 1.

The service was really good, and they staff were really attentive. I will point out that there was a sign at the register that said they would not remake a dish just because it was too spicy. I had to laugh. Know your limitations folks!

The pork bahn mi and a lime aid was the perfect pairing. And it was under $15! There's no mayo or anything which I appreciate! Ask for a lil extra VN butter to ensure the sandwich isn't too dry for you! Service was good and there's a lil bench to sit on as you await your To-go. Enjoy!

First time coming to Eating Fresh located in Broad Ripple area. It's a beautiful place that feels…read morelike a modernized version of all the vietnamese restaurants I grew up going to with lanterns from the Hoi An area hung up throughout. There's plenty of seating and service was great. As I looked through the menu the dish that stood out to me was the thịt kho trứng (caramelized pork and egg rice dish). This isn't a dish that is usually in menus. It's a special dish made at home usually reserved for the lunar new year. After living away from family for a year now, this dish felt like a piece of home and comfort. The flavor of the pork egg dish is absolutely delicious. While this dish is typically supposed to be made with pork belly, chef Ricky substitutes it with pork shoulder for a more familiar taste/texture to our Midwestern community. I'm not mad honestly. The meat was so tender and pulls apart easily to eat with the rice which means it was braised long enough. I only ate half of the serving as it feels like a generous serving. I enjoyed that it was paired with slides tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and pickles veggies. The only thing missing was the nước chấm dipping sauce. The chè ba màu three color dessert is also another home away from home dish that instantly brings me back to my mom's house. The pandan jelly, red beans, coconut sauce and mung bean combine together so well and it was definitely a splurge to enjoy something so delicious. Thanks for a cozy, comforting meal. I'll definitely be back again when I'm feeling home sick.

Unfortunately almost everything was disgusting. The shrimp on the stick was enjoyed by her, the egg rolls were gross. She liked the cooked octopus but I really didn't even enjoy the pho , everything was like warm or not cooked all the way, for the rice paper rolls came out and served with UNDERCOOKED PORK!! Who is eating cold pork that is pink in the middle? like the entire middle was pink! Not a small part of the pork. We noticed mold on the desert and immediately asked for the check. The best thing out of the tasting experience was the pork bon and even that was lukewarm. All in all I would say this place could be good for people who havnt tried Vietnamese food, but for someone to go as far as having egotistical writings on the wall with his name after them....like some kind of phenomenal chef....you at least have to know how to cook pork. Every meat dish was either over seasoned, or undercooked. Our server Ursula was actually the best thing and even made our day. She will make you smile super funny and loved her company. Lastly, one thing I would mention....my gf has serious pet dander allergies....and there was not a single animal in that restaurant, once she tried the pork on the stick...immediately started sneezing, coughing, and had trouble breathing....take with that what you will....(could be using certain meats) long story short we wouldn't come here if you paid us.

It was busy - almost filled inside & on the smaller patio seating - but they cleared a table and seated us right away. Service for the night was attentive and friendly. It's an intimate space, tables situated close together. The décor is nice with a beautiful mural and carved wood art. They also have a nice bar but we did not partake this night. Hubs had the yellow curry with chicken - a delicious light, sweet dish with coconut milk, carrots, potatoes & onion. I had the Rama Delight, which was chicken in a homemade thick peanut sauce on a bed of vegetables including baby corn, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, and more. It was beautifully presented and also very delicious, plus I had enough for lunch the next day. (Which I ate, and it was great.) The only downside was that our meals did not come out together, so I urged him to eat while his food was hot. And he's a fast eater, so he was almost done eating by the time I got my meal. They had stopped by the table twice to apologize for the delay on my dish, which was fine. But it seems like his was the type of meal that they could have held a bit so that both could come out together. Even with this, I still would rate this a 5 star place. #yum #ReviewsByRL

We sat there waiting while watching our server greet and take orders from two other groups who arrived around us. Both groups were white. Not once did the server come over to greet us, take our drink order, or even acknowledge that we were sitting there waiting. By 8:28 PM, after nearly 40 minutes with nothing but water and no acknowledgment from our server, we decided to leave. We were also the only Black customers in the restaurant at the time, and considering what we witnessed, the experience made us feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. I can't say what the server's intentions were, but I can absolutely say how we were treated compared to the other tables we watched receive service. As Black customers, we did not feel welcomed or valued here, and based on our experience, I would not recommend this establishment to other Black diners. Very disappointing, especially when we made a reservation and came expecting to enjoy our evening.

They do a robust carry out, we were the only dine in patrons for an early lunch. The food took about 15 minutes to prepare and it was worth the wait. I had the Kung Pao Shrimp. For an extra 75 cents, a bowl of hot and sour soup was included. The hot and sour soup was hot, fresh and loaded with vegetables, mushrooms and bamboo shoots. The soup was delicious. The Kung Pao Shrimp was filled with huge tender shrimp and fresh hand cut vegetables. The dish was perfect. The side of fried rice was good as well. This was the best Chinese food I've had in a while. I'll definitely return.

Here's where the stars went down. I ordered Chicken on a stick:best part of the whole meal. It was hot and juicy. The fried dumplings were almost deep fried, like very crispy exterior. The filling was kind of bland, and the dipping sauce was very vinegar heavy, which is good but it was missing some soy sauce or some other components of dumpling sauces that I have had in the past Finally, the Crab Rangoon was the most disappointing AND it was the whole reason I wanted this for dinner tonight. There was NO FILLING in 5/5 of these. I found a hint of filling in one but nothing really overall. I'm not asking for stuffed goons with 90% crab, just some filling overall. The rangoon dipping sauce was darker and thicker than traditional sweet and sour sauce that they usually give. I don't think I'll go back but you be the judge yourself. Maybe it was just a bad night.

I had been thinking about King Dragon since mid morning, which is either a testament to how good this place is or a sign that I should eat breakfast. Probably both. King Dragon is exactly what it presents itself as: a family run Chinese spot in Broad Ripple that has been doing its thing without apology. No mood lighting, no fusion twists, no QR code menu trying to be clever. Just solid, honest Chinese-American food made by people who know what they're doing and have been doing it long enough to not need your validation. I ordered my usual. House special fried rice and hot and sour soup, the kind of lunch combination that exists specifically to remind you why comfort food became a category in the first place. The fried rice came loaded with shrimp, pork, carrots, peas, and egg, every bite pulling its weight like a well trained Rebel squadron. The hot and sour soup arrived dark, rich, and packed with mushrooms, exactly the kind of broth that makes you slow down and stop checking your phone. Both portions were generous enough that skipping breakfast felt like a reasonable strategic decision in hindsight. This is not a three star experience dressed up as something it isn't. It IS a three star establishment by strict definition, a small family operation running a familiar menu out of a modest space. But consistent, soulful, satisfying food executed with care every single time is worth more than the star count suggests. I have been coming here long enough to call it my usual for a reason. Five stars for a three star restaurant that feeds you like family and never lets you down.

She took our pickup order over the phone in the curt and icy fashion of a busy middle-aged woman. Didn't even ask for my name or number or anything, just told me to come in 15 minutes. Solid start. You step inside the strip mall storefront and there's a few chairs and tables that look like hand-me-downs from an old school or church. You're confused about whose order is whose but they hand you a bag and you accept it. You get home to realize that one entree could feed three people, the portions are insane, and very cheap. The general tso's chicken is mostly breading, what chicken is in there is dry and overcooked. The lo mein is salty and lacking flavor. The shrimp fried rice is exactly what you'd expect, quite good if that's your thing. The sweet and sour pork is banging. The perfect food for when your craving that heavy salty Chinese food like after a night of drinking or a long week's work. But nothing you really would recommend to other people as a great restaurant. Just kind of a guilty pleasure sort of experience. Glad they are still doing business though, these places are the backbone of America.
