I remember enjoying Indochine more the last time I came. This time felt that it was good but nothing special. The spring rolls were fine. Eggplant is good. Kale salad just okay. The sizzling beef is pretty good. The bouillabaisse was a little bland. I liked the amok though and the rices are all good. It is quite the scene and busy on a Saturday night. We were originally given a corner table in the booth area since we were three but it was small so we requested a better table. After initially being told no, since they wanted it for four people, we were accommodated after a few minutes of deciding what to do, with a better table.
Love this place. Great vibe here, noisy as hell but high energy, beautiful people watching (including me). Asian style fare, chic, modern and light. Great flavors and nice selection. Glazed Duck breast fantastic with lots of complex Asian flavors but not overwhelming the rich, dark duck met which is grilled nicely on outside and left very rare inside. Sea bass in a broth with various greens had nice depth but still light – and perfectly satisfying. Fried spring roles outstanding. Seemingly made there as they were packed with meat, fresh veggies and truly deeply fried to get a nice stiff crunch. Everything also served artfully.
Front desk staff couldn't be more accommodating even on crazy packed evening and servers sexy and sleek, professional and friendly.
Food was just ok, the service was atrocious, especially by the host/hostess who asked us to leave twice while we were waiting for our check and then while we were trying to pay! We hadn't even been there for two hours.
Our server was great, but the other staff ruined it for us. My Chilean sea bass was boring and painfully small served in a bowl of liquid. Appetizers were hit or miss, the shrimp was good, the sashimi wasn't. My cocktail wasn't that great and was supposed to have a sugar rim and came with a salt rim instead, which ruined the taste.
If you're conservative, this place may not be for you, the patrons and especially the staff are of the eccentric variety, let's say the kind you would find in Bangkok.
We had reservations before catching a show next door, came in & were seated right away.
Once seated we started with some cocktails , I had the Lychee Martini delicious , very good drink & nice amount of alcohol.
My company had a Grey Goose martini good as well, strong drink.
Appetizers we tried the Asian lump crab cakes & the Grilled Baby back ribs.
Crab cakes were very good , nice dipping sauce. Baby back ribs were great as well good taste meat nice & tender.
Main dishes we went with the Marinated shirt steak & the Sauté rice.
Skirt steak was delicious, great chimichurri sauce steak was cooked well meat was juice & tender.
The rice was Shrimp & scallion , very good as well nice taste.
As for the restaurant nice size , with plenty of seating & a small bar area upfront.
Nice & simple decor , service was great everyone was nice & attentive prices I'd say are moderate not too bad depending on what u have.
Overall great experience everything we tried was very good, we enjoyed our meal.
If you like "American Psycho", you'll know this place is an 80s hot-spot.
I was here once not too long ago, and I would like to go back. The Palm Tree print on the wall is a little dated. The decor is a little tired, but I'd be amiss not to say how much character this place has.
Food is good. We even saw a few b-list celebrities sitting at the bar.
Can't wait for our next trip to NYC!
The place is very nice and known for their deep green leafy wallpaper that is instantly recognizable as Indochina. The service was decent enough and the food was good but a tab bit overpriced when you think about regular price points for Vietnamese food. I don't think I would come out of my way to eat here, but it served it's purpose for a group dinner that everyone enjoyed everything.
The food is so good here. Definitely a hipster, fashionable place, but there must be a reason why it has done so well for a while. The fried snapper is delicious as well as the shrimp rice. Definitely a repeat!
The most remarkable thing about this restaurant were the servers and hostesses. They looked like they just stepped out from America's Next Top Model. They had full blown makeup, stylish cocktail dresses with platform heels. I could not help but stare. It had a very posh feel to it and the dishes were on the pricier end.
I ordered from the pre-theater menu with appetizer, entree and dessert. I was expecting it to be small it portion but the portion were decent size.
Fish soup- It had shrimp, scallops, fish and a light tomato, white wine based broth with vermicelli. It was so delicious and it was big enough to share with my boyfriend.
Grilled salmon- Not good. It had a charred burnt, bitter taste. I couldn't taste anything else besides that. The salmon was sitting in a broth with mushrooms, which did not go with the salmon at all. Once again that burnt charred taste ruined the entire dish.
Hazelnut mouse cake- Amazing and very creative. It is a French restaurant after all.
Shaken beef (not on the pre-theater menu)- The beef was very tender and flavorful. It had a soy/hoison marinade with a nice barbecue taste.
Sticky rice- The best thing I ate all night! It was more like fried sticky rice with bits of dried shrimp in it. I was tempted to get one "to go".
