The food was great, cool atmosphere and prices were excellent but unfortunately was not super impressed with the staff. We felt like we were annoying them by being in the restaurant.

Open table offered an 8:45 reservation time. Apparently the restaurant closes at 9, which we didn’t know. We hit some snags on the way so we were 10 min late, and the host borderline rolled his eyes at us when we walked in and said we were late for our reservation. He sat us without saying a word. Then as he went to seat us, a waitress mouthed “not me!” (As in don’t put them in my section) to the host. I was confused since the dining room as busy….We would have rather been turned away than treated like a last min burden. As we became aware they were closed and everyone was leaving, we decided to go ahead and get boxes and the check as we did feel bad about being late. Maybe don’t offer these late slots as most places have a 10 min grace period, stuff happens. The food was amazing. the place as usual needs a serious clean up. Shredded curtains and dusty environment.

We had a 7pm reservation and were seated promptly. Host was nice, and service was great. Food was wonderful, flavorful, and portions were robust. server was attentive and polite. I was however disappointed that we were seated next to the window with a view of the busy street and random homeless people making weird gestures high on drugs. he left, however when we got up to use the bathroom I walked through a wonderful part of the establishment that had a pond and nice handcrafted wooden tables. I so much would have rather been seated there! Next time I'll ask to be seated in the nice part of the restaurant. I would eat here again for sure, We ordered the basil curry seafood and the mango fried rice. both very tasty.

Long waits for food- must be different owners since we were there pre covid. People next to is never got their food, asked for the drink bill and expressed displeasure with service and he still made them pay for 2 drinks😵‍💫. Was an elderly woman and daughter. They were seated way before us and we were well thru our meal and they still had nothing.

Wonderful meal! From the ambience and decorations to the food, all four of us (from age 8 to 83) had a great experience. High points were the spring rolls, empanadas, drunken noodles and orange chicken…finished off with some outstanding chocolate cake and gelato. Will definitely be back to try more dishes.

Unfortunately I feel like Indochine has fallen a long ways from years past. The menu is a shadow of what it once was, presumably to cut costs. Prices are what you’d expect, with most dinners being between $17-$25 give or take. The service was lackluster, however what I assume was the manager did a good job trying to make up for what her servers lacked. It was odd seeing servers dressed in random attire from crop tops, to jeans, to random T-shirts. Our server was friendly but hardly checked on us and we were left waiting after our meal for quite some time until my 5 year old daughter caught his attention by waving at him. The food for the most part was good, and my wife enjoyed her seafood and black rice dinner, however the drunken noodles were average, as were the potstickers and fresh spring rolls. I was surprised that the menu didn’t seem to have any Thai soups which are usually incredibly popular dishes like Tom Yum or Tom Kha Gai. The mango fried rice was meh. Overall, the ambiance was good, service was meh, and might be okay for a date night, maybe, but if youre looking for really good Thai food, maybe try somewhere else.
