"Everything was perfect, the fish soup was really exceptional, but the rest of our choices too. Very attractive menu, difficult to choose. Harmonious and beautiful room, beautiful staff, specially the waiters. Nothing to complain about"

"It seems to be tailored to American tastes which I did not expect in a New York City Vietnamese restaurant. Everything was light on seasons and spice and just a little bit boring!"

"This little gem would be great anywhere. We went on a Sunday evening so it was quiet. Had the pre-theatre special. My discriminating sweetheart enjoyed the food and so did I. Ambience is top notch and romatic. The service is not the greatest however. Used to be very trendy, still very popular so go on an off night"

"This is my second time here and it never disappoints. I love the pan asian style of this food. We started with the crabcakes and they were delicious and so was the sauce that came with it. The shrimp was spicy, but that didn't bother me. My friend asked for hers to be less spicy and they were very accommodating."

"The food and decor are fabulous as ever, service, though, is a mess. Rude. Sigh. LOVED Indochine for 25 years. Going into its 29th year, it's ripped to shreds. Get rid of any new waitstaff, they are a mess."

"Indochine was fabulous in it's day as a spot for the NYC glamorous and trendy party people to dine and be seen. The whole operation and ambiance is very 80's with a sad absence of the glamor that it once was. The hostesses and waiters are painfully trendy and the food is not at all special, yet very expensive. You can get way better new Asian cuisine in NYC without all the "too fabulous" attitude, and at a better price point."

"I have been many times and have always been happy with the service and the food has been very good. I'm always leery of pre-theater menus but there are so many choices on that menu that all three of our party ordered from it. We all enjoyed our selections including Thai dumplings and spring rolls for appetizers and Cornish hen, salmon, and vegetable curry for entrees. We dined very early because we were headed to the Public but were not rushed at all by the charming and professional staff."

"The food was delicious. They brought out an incorrect dish and forget one of our side dishes. We also had 6 people and all the entrees had only 5 pieces which I thought was strange. Might have been good for the waitress to point this out and ask whether we could adjust for 6?"

"Although we have eaten at Indochine regularly for many years, we had an awful evening caused by a dreadful hostess. I had requested one of two tables where we always sit but the hostess would not let us sit there, saying "requests cannot always be honored". The restaurant was empty -- only one table filled. She seated us between a noisy service station at the back and a table where 3 staff members were eating and talking loudly. We moved to a small table on the banquette and within 1/2 hour the tables on both sides of us were filled though the restaurant was still relatively empty. The two tables I had originally requested were filled with parties of 2. We have always enjoyed the food and the service but we shall NEVER return."

"The food is great, the ambiance excellent, the wait staff top notch, the crowd upscale without being overly trendy. This place has stood the test of time and never disappoints. My only complaint is that the tables are so close together that if the person sitting on the banquette side is on the larger than 100 lbs it's extremely difficult and intrusive to the table next to you to get in and out."

"Visited this New York treasure with last minute reservationson a Saturday night. The lovely maitre de was kind enough to get aUs a booth so we could enjoy a quiet conversation and do some people watching. The lime and vodka wast amazing! Card cakes, beef salad and seafood bouillabaisse were ALL excellent. Toppied the evening off by sharing the perfect lemon tart. Glad to see after all these years, Indochine has not lost the bounce in its step. Highly recommended!"

"An article raved about Indochine's spicy beef salad, which prompted us to make a reservation. After taking a look at the menu, we decided to skip the salad b/c there were so many other interesting dishes to choose from. The Indochine Martini and the Gin Gin; both very refreshing. The spring roll app had a twist b/c you wrapped them in leaves and dipped them in sauce. I decided to try something unique, Amok Cambodgien - sole wrapped in banana leaves. At first I was surprised by the coconut milk taste, but ended up liking it a lot. Staff was very attentive, attractive and pleasant. Occasionally an attractive young woman with headphones would dance exotically in the middle of the restaurant. The server said she was a regular. Cool."

"The menu looked interesting, so we had great expectations. But the chef did not deliver.....the food was bland and my fish smelled old. The waiters were attentive and the atmosphere great. But when the food were bad, our meal was a dissapointment."
