Definately not the best

by broodking at Citysearch

For starters, the spring rolls lacked "spring". The Satay was thin and dry. The Specialty rice had very dry chicken and the Pad Thai needed more moisture. I prefer to try a new place before going there again. We know good Thai and this was definately not the best.

• Pros: price, service
• Cons: space, quailty

Best Thai in the city!!!

by eminindy at Citysearch

I've travelled all over the US, and l can tell you, this place ranks right up there with the best. The food is very authentic, not a waterdowned americanized version of thai food. The flavors are blended well, and the portions are generous. The menu has great variety. Also, this is a family establishment, and if you go in more than once, they will regonize you and treat you warmly (that's been my experience). One note...they allow you to choose the spice level of your food (from 1-not hot, to 5-very hot). If you are not experienced in spicy thai, stick to level 1 or 2. All in all, I wouldn't bother with any other Thai food in Indy. Try it, you won't be dissapointed!

• Pros: freshneses, quality, friendly staff
• Cons: small

good food

by atexan1d at Citysearch

i am relatively new to the indy area, but have travelled well and eaten at many good thai restaurants, and unfortunately a few not so good ones. this restaurant ranks up there with the good ones when it comes to the quality of the food. the service was fine. the place was a little hard to find, but had ample parking. the dining area is quite small and quaint, but is more than made up for when you taste the food. i like fiery hot food and thai cafe aims to please. try the pad thai with a little sugar and lime juice on the top w/ shrimp and dont ask for any hotter than the 3 chili pepper scale. enjoy!

• Pros: excellent food, quick service, food to go
• Cons: , hard to find

If ya know Thai, ya KNOW this's da Bomb!

by FudGai at Citysearch

Weve lived many years in Los Angeles, the unquestioned Thai center-of-the-universe in the lower 48, where theres a Thai stand in every strip mall. Wan Fischer's Thai Cafe beats the jodhpurs off every other Siamese cookery in town! The padd thai is the most authentic that we've found here. For a change-of-pace appetizer with a kick, order the splendid Yum Nuah beef in lime juice and Thai chiles served with raw cabbage (the better to cool you, dears). And the green curry, when ordered with the rare nutty red rice is sublime. This summer they've been serving a lemongrass cooler as a refreshing drink that actually enhances each bite of food. Not cheap, not killer either. The servers aren't weird, just eccentric.hey!, that's the Ripple, sportsfans! Theyre more than helpful & gracious. Get to know Wan, she is the Grand Dame, now that Bangkok's Jarunee Balisari Butler has retired.

Casual or Rude??

by nirav at Citysearch

The staff there tries to be casual and in the process they do not take any precautions of being not rude to their customers. I always thought that waiting tables means being patient and listening to the customer. The ways this people do it they better ask their customers to fill out a questionaire rather than being rude.

• Pros: Good Food
• Cons: Uncomfortable, Rude Service, High Prices
