I just ate at the most incredible steakhouse in Indianapolis.  Fo Go de Chou offers thick cuts of fillet Mignon and even a salad buffet.  Buffet Restaurants in Indianapolis have nothing on this steak house.  It even beats going to sports bars or a good Greek restaurant like the one on the canal.  

Are you looking for good Mexican Restaurants, a Thai Restaurant Indianapolis, or downtown sushi spots?  If so, we have what you need!  Just check us out!





There is this place in Broad Ripple that my friends and I go pretty frequently. Especially when we don't want to cook dinner. It is called Noodles & Company and is located across the stree from Union Jacks and next to La Jolla.

It is one of those places that everyone can find something great to eat. If you like spicy, they have spicy. If you like mild, they have mild. If you like Mac and Cheese... it's phenomenal!

They have three different menus with different types of cuisines... American, Mediterranean, and Asian. All are delicious and like I said before.. they have something there for everyone.

When I go, I usually order the Chicken Pad Thai treo with a ceasar salad. The "treo" is the size of meal, which means you get a pasta, a meat, and a choice of salad or soup. They also have other smaller sizes for the days that you want to eat light.

So the next time you are cruising through Broad Ripple (or any of their other locations) and you feel your stomach start to grumble... go ahead and check out Noodles and Company, located at 927 Broad Ripple Avenue. They also have one located on IUPUI's campus. So you can check that one out too.





Bosphorus Istanbul Cafe

Indianapolis, IN 46225

If you are looking for great Hummus or an awesome Falafel, look no further than Bosphorus Istanbul Cafe for what I think is Indianapolis only Turkish restaurant.  

If you are looking for  great Indianapolis fine dining is a funky purple house near Fletcher Place (just outside downtown Indianapolis) this might just be your restaurant.   Named for a 20 mile long strait that joins the Sea of Marmara with the Black Sea, the real Bosphorus separates Europe from Asia....ok enough about the geography of the near east...let's talk about the food!

No Indianapolis menu guide would be complete without including the Hummus and Feta Chees Plate appetizers.  Better yet, start your party with the Appetizer combo that also includes stuffed grape leaves, tabouli, babaganush, borek and and eggplant salsa.

As an Indianapolis Date Restaruant why not impress him (or her) with you vast cusine knowlage by ordering the Iskender or Ispankli Tavuk?   This is a great local Indianapolis Restaurant.   It's not quite an Asian Restaruant and is kind of like an Indianapolis Greek Restaurant but ...different.   I'm really happy to add Bosphorus to my Indianapolis Dining Guide.  



Thai Cafe In Broadripple!

Looking for a great Indianapolis Asian restaurant?  I highly suggest Thai Cafe!  Located in Broad Ripple at 1041 Broad Ripple Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46220 .  It is well known among Thai lovers and whether you are looking for authentic Thai dishes or a bit of comfort food in the form of yummy Pad Thai noodles, you will love this place!  The Vegetarian spring rolls also are high on my list. 

Its A 10!

Concerned about the spicy factor that some Asian and particularly Thai food can have?  Thai cafe has a great system of "rating" your spiciness 1 to 10, 10 being the hottest.  You can easily customize how hot and spicy you want your dish.  They are fast and friendly whether you are dining in or enjoying takeout.  Whether you are just looking for great Indianapolis ethnic food, a unique Indy date restaurant, or wanting to expand your Indianapolis Asian dining experience from more than sushi and Chinese takeout, I'm sure you'll love Thai cafe!

This week, the Marketing Team here at Compendium Blogware, along with our newest member Chantelle decided to go to China King just right around the corner from our office. If you want to read up on Compendium Blogware, you can Click Here to check it out!

We first weren’t sure where we wanted to go, but when the idea of Chinese came up we decided that is where we were going to get our usual Friday lunch. Mikey ordered General Tso’s Chicken and said, “The General was commanding my taste buds.” So I would have to guess that he enjoyed it, along with his fried rice. He ordered some dumplings, but didn’t end up eating too many because he was filled up by “The General”. Chantelle ordered an array of foods. She had Crab Rangoon, Hot and Sour Soup, along with a side of Steamed White Rice. When she got her food, I noticed that her rice came in a huge container and she ordered a “small” side of rice. Meghan ordered the Sesame Chicken with Fried Rice lunch special. The other Megan ordered the Veggie Lo Mein and only had one complaint. She had wished that the veggies in the food were a little larger. As for me, I ordered one of my default dishes when ordering Chinese… Beef with Broccoli along with fried rice. I thought the food was delicious and probably better tasting than any small Chinese food place. Also, make sure that you realize that if you go in a group and you eat in… they will bring all your food out at the same time. BE CAREFUL when you first start eating it. The food is VERY hot. I made the mistake of jumping right into it and burnt my tongue… OUCH! So open it up and let it cool for a few before you dive into your Chinese chow. We all agreed that the portions that they serve are much bigger than you might expect and the price is very reasonable for the amount of food that you get.

As for other things that might be of interest to you, Chantelle mentioned that the place would be great for winter time because you can call in and get carry out, and they even deliver. Meghan said that if you are going to China King expecting a Chinese Food chain experience, you had better think twice. It is different than a typical chain. The food is very authentic and so is the atmosphere of the restaurant. Also, the rush comes in about Noon, so if you don’t want to wait in line you should either have it delivered or go before or after the rush at Noon. I would imagine the rush dies down about 1:30 or 2 o’clock. Another point of note, they take both cash AND credit card… so you don’t have to rush to the ATM before you get there. So if you are looking for a Chinese place to eat here downtown that won’t require you sitting there for two hours… Check out China King, located at 148 N. Delaware St in downtown Indianapolis.




PF Chang’s - http://www.pfchangs.com/
Location: 49 W Maryland St.

DLG Rating:  9/10

Downtown, need Chinese… well, maybe not need, but want Chinese??  P.F. Chang’s is the place to go.  This classic chain restaurant is the best Chinese in the downtown area according to this guru.  Located right on the first floor of the mall, PF Chang’s has delicious food for your average downtown prices.  Look to spend about $10-15 per person, but be completely full and probably take home some for the loving dog at home when you get off of work. 

If you’ve been to a PF Chang’s before, you know the drill with the atmosphere.  Tables can at times be too close together, but if you get lucky enough for a booth you’ll have all the space you’d ever want.  The one downfall is reservations are recommended.  Since it’s right in the mall they get a lot of foot traffic and it causes long waits around lunchtime. 

Staff is usually solid and at times seems like you have multiple waiters/waitresses with the way the bring food out in waves.  It’s a great idea though as it gets your food to you faster.





For my Indianapolis dining guide review today, I have decided to describe a restaurant that nearly every single person has seen here in Indianapolis if they have gone to any of the local malls--Asian Chao.  While it is not the typical type of restaurant that I describe in my blog and restaurant guide, as I usually do some type of fine dining establishment, I felt obligated to write about it since it is one of my favorite fast food restaurants for many important reasons.  Asian Chao is a fast food chain dedicated to serving some of the best Asian style cuisine to the American public through establishments in the mall and other busy tourist areas.  You have probably seen them passing out their famous Bourbon Chicken dish inCheck out Asian Chao's delicious menu here! little paper cups as samples, which I love because no restaurants really do that anymore.  The interesting part of this, however, is the fact that I would recommend their Bourbon Chicken because it is my favorite dish there.  While their food is delicious and their service is quite excellent, I think it is my favorite restaurant for more personal reasons.  I had my first date with the girl of my dreams there (and it was the first time I had even eaten there) right here in downtown Indianapolis during a wonderful night at Christmas at the zoo and the other festivities.  She had me try the Bourbon Chicken, and ever since then it has been one of my favorite fast food chains because it has given me some of the best memories of my whole life.  So, don't just take my word for it, go out and make your own memories at the best Asian style fast food restaurant chain around, Asian Chao!  Take a date out to dinner and make a wonderful memory out of it!  Trust me, you won't regret it.  I know I don't!

Asian Chao
Visit:  Asian Chao



Despite the fact that I have only visited Journey's seafood and buffet twice, and on special occasions, I have already found it to be one of the best buffet-style restaurants I have ever been to!  Simply put, Journey is an Asian seafood, steak, pizza, and dessert buffet, along with just about 100 other types of food from all across the globe.  For example, I recently visited Journey for my girlfriend's birthday, and ended up with pizza, green beans, steak, crab legs, and dessert all on one plate!  While it is somewhat of an unusual combination, it makes for a restaurant where a whole family can visit on a special occasion or just about any time and every person can eat (even if they are very picky).  Although I have only mentioned visiting Journey on specialClick here to see the menu of a great seafood buffet, including everything from steak to sushi occasions, I would have to say that it would make a good location for a business lunch, a date with that special someone, or just a nice dinner with the family or friends.  Journey is a great place for everyone because it has all types of food and a very modern atmosphere, making for an amazing and memorable experience.  I tend to stay away from buffet-style restaurants, but after visiting Journey, I had to include it in my dining guide as one of the best buffet restaurants in Indianapolis by far!  By the way, don't miss the chocolate fountains near the buffet, as they are very good!  Enjoy!

14 West Restaurant
14 West Maryland Street
Indianapolis, IN 46205

(317) 636 - 1414

Genre: Mixed (French, Asian, Italian)
Rating: 4 out of 5
Location: Downtown Indianapolis

I was fortunate enough to muster up enough cash to enjoy this restaurant last summer.  I chose this restaurant with the mind-set that I wanted a urbanite feel while also maintaining the integrity of my wallet.

I was impressed from the get-go.  I ordered the 14 West Crab Cake and found myself in a complete trance.  The crab cakes were phenomenal!  Just the perfect size for two people.  The butter sauce was a great compliment to the cakes.

For the main dish, I ordered the Lobster Ravioli.  I was impressed by the presentation of the dish and the timeliness of the service.  The ravioli was a pleasant compliment to the Jack Daniels and Coke I was enjoying.  The lobster filling was the perfect consistency and the confit sauce was delicious.  

The reason for my rating is that I thought that it was a little pricey for the food and drinks.  One of my biggest peeves is ordering a drink and getting a splash of liquor.  Other than that, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an intimate feel and amazing crab cakes in Indianapolis!





 
I would not call myself a sushi connoisseur by any means, but I have been to enough sushi restaurants in the country to have an opinion on which are the best.  I would have to say that out of all the sushi restaurants in this great country, my favorite would have to be one that I found in the Indianapolis Dining Guide.  It is an upscale place called Sushi on the Rocks.  It is a spin off of another restaurant by the name of Yummy Chopsticks.  Sushi on the Rocks is by far the best downtown Indianapolis restaurant there is.
One of the delicious rolls
It has a unique blend of modern decor with a touch of traditional Japan.  There are many menu items to choose from.  You can order anything from chicken teriyaki to seaweed salad.   They have the most exciting selection of rolls as well.  I suggest trying either the spicy tuna roll or the volcano roll.  They have over 40 to choose from, so there is one for everybody.  Everything is prepared extremely well and fresh.  Of course, lunch is lovely too, and that's when I was here. The menu is extensive, offering a la carte sushi, Korean and Japanese dishes, and sandwiches and salads with an Asian bento box.
      
Next time you are in the mood for sushi, try this place and enjoy!  You can find this lovely place at 235 South Meridian Street Indianapolis, IN 46225.
