Great ambiance and loved the outdoor patio. We made a reservation with a group of 5 and arrived a little early. The staff were all super accommodating, warm, and very knowledgeable on the cuisine. The music choice was top notch and our server, Kyle was great! All the food we tried was top tier. This place is all around a gem read more

Me: I don't know if a 08:30pm reservation is worth the hype. Me an hour later: Ok, I don't know what I was thinking. DEFINITELY worth the hype. Everything that we ordered at Indo was scrumptious! Will certainly be back in future seasons to check out menu updates. Service was great; waiter was patient with explaining the menu. Can't wait to come back! read more

Indo was a delicious experience. The staff was very welcoming and helpful when we asked questions about the menu. Be aware that these are all small plates, so expect to get a few options during your visit. We sat inside towards the back, and it was lovely - nice atmosphere and decor. This will be on the expensive side regarding price, but the food was worth it if you're an Asian fusion fan. read more

Highly recommend! We came on a Friday night around 6pm without reservations and were able to score two seats at the bar. The cocktails were great and involved some super unique flavors! The handrolls were so fresh and tasty. The short rib curry was very rich, but also amazing and so flavorful. It's definitely pricey, but would be a great place to treat yourself to on a special occasion. I've heard the outdoor patio is beautiful, so we'd love to come back and sit out there another time! read more

Love everything about the food! Perfect for a date night/girls night out! Food is super fresh and good quality! Only complain that we only had 90 mins to enjoy our food for our party and that is kind of limited... read more

Lunch was clutch here, as of now it's counter service and sit where you want. Got to try a decent amount of items here with that flexibility. I do want to try dinner here, but it can be a hard table to get as the popularity is growing and size of the restaurant isn't that large. Plan head on this one if you're aiming for dinner, otherwise lunch is a nice option. The food during lunch time was excellent, lot of delicious flavors with each dish that made me definitely want to try more of the menu. Well platted aesthetically and well put together chef wise makes the food taste as good as it looks. Definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to trying more from them next time I'm in town. read more

My partner and I work at a sushi restaurant and when they suggested we go here on our day off I was a bit skeptical but it was completely worth it. They served some of the freshest fish I have had in St. Louis. The dishes were unlike anything I have ever tasted and will be having you thinking about it way after you leave. The restaurant itself is small but elegant. It would be best to make a reservation. The servers are nice and well informed of the menu. read more

Shrimp toast was very good. Shrimp was somehow cooked into the toast and tons of flavors on top. Very unique. Zuke sake has a nice citrus taste. They said it was pineapple but it wasn't prevelant. It wasn't a real juicy fatty cut of salmon though. Isaan hamachi was very citrusy and tasted like civiche. It wasn't my favorite of the first 3 dishes. Lots of oil flavor too. Laarb was outstanding! Never had anything like it. The candied peanuts along with the sweet rice cracker mixed with spicy seasoned lamb was something that is very hard to explain. This dish alone is worth the price of admission. Sake sashimi was my 2nd favorite dish of the evening. The slight sear gave me the cooked salmon taste and the raw buttery salmon sitting in the buttery oil bath made every bite silly and wonderful. Just a hint of crunch with some friend onions on top. Such a simple sounding dish with a unique and amazing complexity of flavors. read more

Indo is frequently drawing a crowd in part due to its national recognition, but also due to its buzz among locals. The menu features a rotating list of hot and cold a la carte tastings that are ideal for sharing. A friend of mine and I ordered the shrimp toast, palm sugar ribs and chili garlic noodles. Each dish was carefully prepared and crafted with fresh, quality ingredients. Among my favorite was the shrimp toast, which combines shrimp, cucumber salad and a drizzle of mango chili sauce atop locally sourced bread from Union Loafers. Each bite size serving is the perfect combination of sweet and savory. It was so delicious that we ordered it a second time before the end of our visit. Based on a recommendation, I ordered the Whisky Cha Boran, which is Indo's playful take on a traditional old fashioned. While it still drew a lot of its flavor from whiskey and bitters, the addition of earl grey infused palm sugar gave it a unique and unexpected flavor profile. It is also worth noting that the service was excellent and the staff were very resourceful in helping navigate the menu. Overall, I am excited to plan my next visit and am looking forward to trying new dishes in the future! read more

Solid quality food with great service. Our favorite was the lamb tartare and shrimp toast. Everything tasted great but some of the flavors were slightly overpowered by fish sauce, and that's coming from someone who is Vietnamese American. Overall, this is a great must try if you are interested in Southeast Asian fusion cuisine! read more

Indo - Chili Garlic Noodles - Pan Asian Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Amazing! One of my favorite restaurants in STL. Great food and service, tasty cocktails, and very reasonable price for the quality.

My mom and I had the sticky tofu, the Gyoza, the Isaan Hamachi and the shrimp toast. All were absolutely fantastic. Seriously amazing food- hamachi tasted super fresh and the candied crispy garlic with the coconut naam plah and the spicy chili oil really knocked it out of the park. Gyoza were delicious and tasted homemade. Sticky tofu was a very fun divergence from an average agedashi tofu! Shrimp toast is a must try- crispy, sweet spicy garlicky goodness! Great experience. Only complaint is that its pretty dark in there and my mom couldn't hardly read the menu. read more

Absolute Fuego. St Louis is naturally far from the sea but damn it's as if it were waterfront. This place hit on all levels (food greater than service tho..) Yellow tail sashimi with coconut milk reduction baptized me and may have raptured my girlfriend cause she still hasn't come back to the table. Jokes aside, this place was very good and gave midwest seafood rumors a run for their money. I would recommend this place for any occasion, but especially for a nice occasion because this BASH was expensive- but worth it. Mark it on your list! read more

I think St. Louis has an excelling dining scene and I was very much looking forward to visiting Indo for the first time. The first half of our meal was great. I highly recommend the gyoza, the Isaan hamachi and the kombu potatoes. After that everything went south. Here are some things to be aware of on the menu: The hand rolls (page 2 of the menu) are wrapped in a dry and rubbery light green seaweed wrap that is very inedible and difficult to chew. It has zero flavor and dries out the fish inside. We had the fatty toro, the salmon belly and the sake -- all flavorless with the wrap and fell apart when you try to eat it. If you're allergic to peanuts avoid the ribs and the special lamb tartare. It was strange to find so many dishes had peanuts and raw onions. Not a pleasant flavor or combination. The ribs are very sweet and sticky (with peanuts) and the lamb tartare (with peanuts?) is very spicy. The cocktails are more like smoothies with alcohol. I had green tea (which normally just gets a hot water refill) and was charged for three separate teas (a bit of rip off). Overall I'm sad because I heard great things about the chef but this was an overpriced inconsistent mess with a few select standouts. read more

Authentic Japanese spot from the Chef/Owner of Nippon Tea who was a James Beard semifinalist for Rising Star Chef of the Year. The restaurant is very small, and seems like a hole-in-the-wall from the outside. The space has 40 seats and an eight person chef's counter that comes with a pre-set tasting menu. They serve both lunch and dinner, but lunch is counter service and much more laid back. Dinner is meant to be shared, as a majority of the menu consists of small plates and some larger dishes that are for 2 or more people, but lunch comes in more individualized portions. I came for lunch and was very impressed. I got a sushi bowl and everything was fresh and delicious. I sat at what is used as the chef's table for dinner, and chatted with some friendly members of the staff + the owner. One of the staff members told me that they get all of their fish from Japan. This place is on the pricey side, but it is definitely worth it read more

We stopped by Indo for our date night and everything we tried was incredible. The bartenders were extremely helpful and shared popular dishes, their favorites, explained the menu, and walked through so many of the dishes and flavors. You could tell they really wanted you to get things you would love. My favor it was the yellowtail sashimi. It was topped with furikake and ponzu sauce and the pairing was perfect. We will definitely be back to try more things on the menu soon. read more

Great service, food is good, flavor on sushi is not what I am used to with the added lemon/lime flavor in some of the sashimi. Overall good date night place to try out for the experience, expensive though for a casual date night, plus did ordered lots of food. Most people around us were going for birthday celebrations or anniversary celebrations. read more

Easily the best meal of my 3 day St. Louis road-trip. I normally don't drop $30 for a solo lunch, but so glad I did order all 3 small plates. The Papaya Salad was a bowl of mixed fruit and veggies with a subtle marinade with crispy strips. The Eggplant dish was grilled to a savory perfection and a yogurt dip on the side. The chicken and pork Gyoza held together with a lace like delicate batter and resting in a teriyaki/soy sauce. They were just as tasteful as they were tastefully presented. A memorable lunch! Bonus points for playing Parquet Courts on the speakers! read more

My absolute favorite restaurant. Stumbled upon this place when looking for apartments in April 2021 and probably one of the biggest reasons I fell in love with the city. Been here about 6 times since then and have tried a major portion of the rotating menu. My first time here was amazed by the Japanese pumpkin. It was perfectly cooked pumpkin in this Thai curry sauce and nuts that created the perfect mix of flavors and textures. When I moved here a month later I was so sad that it was off the menu as they were on a new seasonal menu. Other highlights include the Isaan hamachi, laarb which is basically an extremely spicy lamb tartare that come with these crispy crackers that remind me of these fried chips (papadam) from India, and the uni. You honestly can't go wrong with anything you order though. I hate cabbage and got the cabbage salad to order for the table and loved it and will still order it when I go. They also make something as simple sounding as crispy tofu delicious as it's perfectly crispy on the side and served on this flavorful black bean spread. Fyi their gyoza are delcious as well - they are the same concept as the ones at nippon tei. The drinks are always amazing too including their mocktails. Highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar as the chefs have some great advice on restaurants to try in the city and you may even catch nick bognar. Overall love all the restaurants done by this family-nippon tei, indo, Chang Mai Come visit indo and you'll see why Nick Bognar is one of the best new chefs of 2020 and a James beard semi-finalistCabbage SaladCabbage Salad read more

We dined here on April 8 (when it was still cold outside). I booked a reservation on the patio because it said it was heated and enclosed. It is definitely not your typical heated patio you would expect. I was so cold, I had to wear my coat all evening and sent my husband to the car to bring me a blanket to wrap around my legs. Even with the coat and blanket, I couldn't feel my toes or fingers by the end of the meal. If I am going to a restaurant with the kind of prices Indo charges, I expect to be at least comfortable. This totally ruined our entire experience. We ordered a variety of items from the menu: Shrimp toast: this was a unique item where the shrimp was inside of the bread. It was a decent dish - my husband really enjoyed it...just ok for me. Zuke sake: marinated salmon nigiri. The fish tasted fresh and citrusy, but it wasn't a juicy/rich tasting piece of salmon like I've had at other places like drunken fish. I really enjoy the thick cut where the moisture coats your lips. This didn't really meet those expectations. Isaan hamachi: yellowtail fish whose preparation made it taste like ceviche. It was a decent flavor, but I didn't think it was as good as others rave about. I guess I enjoy sushi so much that I enjoy eating the fish by itself. I don't need it doused in a bunch of oils and other flavors to make it taste good. I'd rather pay 5 times less and just get regular sushi somewhere else (drunken fish being my fave so far in STL). Laarb: lamb tartare. This dish was the best dish of the evening! It really took me by surprise. I've never eaten raw lamb before and I wasn't sure what to expect. It was outstanding!  The candied peanuts complimented the spicy lamb mixture well, and I loved the homemade rice cracker that came along with it for dipping. Sake nigiri:  I didn't expect the salmon to have a slight sear on the outside of the fish. I prefer to eat my sushi raw. The sear on the outside of the fish took away from the fatty flavors of the fish. Overall, I'm not sure if we'd come back - extremely expensive and didn't really feel the meal was worth the price tag. If we did come back, I'd only order the laarb and cash out. read more

Hand roll heaven! Just so good. My incisors are all gone from grinding my teeth so it was hard to tear through the nori but that's my fault. The toro hand roll was just spectacular. The fried tofu....omg so perfectly crispy and the sauce mouthwatering. The dessert was this coconut mango pudding and it was just the perfect ending. A great visit this go around! read more

So this was not our first choice for date night as it was full, but talk about divine intervention. And yes I said that because the food and service was divine!!! Gyoza, Shrimp Toast, Sashimi and even the drinks were all delicious. We sat in a cute area outside and had great service. And every person we came into contact with was amazingly polite and helpful. My husband and I were blown away by our experience and as we sat there, we planned our next time to come back. It was so nice that we planned on visiting one more place after, that we just decided to go home because anything after that was going to pale in comparison. read more

Overall really nice experience. Great artwork and moody vibe inside- very intimate. You definitely need to make reservations a month in advance. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu items and gave excellent recommendations. We shared most of the items as a table of four- they recommend getting two shareable options per person. All of my photos were items we got as a table. They had many vegetarian options, I believe we got everyone! I especially loved the Chili noodles. Unique presentations and delicious food. We sat inside, look forward to trying out the patio! read more

Have been wanting to find an occasion to try this fancy high end Asian fusion place and what's better then a birthday celebration for my hubby! They now require proof of vaccine for indoor seating which makes me feel extra safe when dining there. There's also some patio tables that everyone can reserve. I have to say EVERYTHING there was awesome. Never had such fresh and quality sashimi in St. Louis!!! And the other Asian fusion dishes were all so delicious! Drinks were also good with a lot of Asian influences in there and we were so satisfied by the Chocolate Torte to finish off the great meal! It's definitely on the $$$$ super pricy side but for a special occasion celebration, I think it was totally worth it! read more

Awesome recent meal. The isaan hamachi that I criticized in my previous review is now more delicately sliced and more robust in flavor again. This visit, we went straight back into the nigiri and didn't hold back. Each piece was *chef's kiss* good and dare I say felt relatively larger in size than prior visits here and at nippon tei. Happy to be back! I haven't been lucky enough to see the foie gras nigiri on the menu the last few times here. Get it if it's available so I can live vicariously through you. read more

I'm sorry, but the hype is a hype for a good reason. They definitely don't have the traditional, authentic sushi that you'll get in California or Tokyo, but it's great in its own way. I basically asked the server to come at me with a few courses and a paired sake for the two of us. They served us lots of good food & finished strong with the desserts. Our favorites were the Hokkaido scallop, kanpachi, toro, chocolate torte, kiwi pineapple ice cream, and jumbo shrimp. *warning--most dishes are spicy to very spicy. read more

Indo was one of my favorite restaurants but after our experience last weekend I cannot recommend it and am extremely disappointed. A celebratory dinner was ruined and I really feel like the management has gone downhill. I contacted Indo to discuss the issues and received the automated "you'll be contacted in 24 hours message", they haven't contacted me. They claim to have a "heated and covered patio" and allow patio reservations regardless of weather but when we went on Sunday it was so cold on their patio that we ended up taking some food to go because we couldn't feel our feet. If the waitstaff has to wear a winter coat with multiple layers underneath just to take orders... thats not a heated patio. Unacceptable customer service considering there were more than 3 empty tables inside (I heard staff discussing cancellations, yet nobody on the patio was offered a table inside). For $400 (for 3 people) you would think they could at least attempt to keep guests warm. They have 5pm reservations and state a strict "if you're 15 mins late you'll lose your table" policy, but when we showed up at 4:50 the hostess saw us (and 4 other guests) standing outside the doors in below freezing temperatures, with a slight drizzle, and decided we would have to wait until 5pm for the doors to be unlocked. Very sad as I've loved this restaurant and been a patron for years, but it's clearly gone downhill. read more

My best friend asked what I wanted for my 30th birthday and I immediately told her a dinner at Indo! This place deserves more than 5 stars! It definitely lived up to the hype. I'd be here for dinner every night if I could afford it. My expectations were high because it is very expensive and they were definitely met. We got the shrimp toast, spicy salmon skin hand roll, short rib curry, and a couple nigiris. All were phenomenal and the flavors were on point. The fish is so fresh, it melts in your mouth. And that is pretty rare being in the midwest. I highly recommend coming here to splurge. Must make reservations as it is very small and busy in there but they sometimes do take walk-ins. Indo is easily one of my favorite restaurants in St. Louis. I will be back for their omakase. read more

Indo - Japanese Eggplant, Laksa, Ribs, Garlic Noodles, Miso banana cake! - Pan Asian Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Service was great. Atmosphere I thought was a little lacking but it might be because of the overall feel of the Tower Grove area these days, not the restaurateur's fault. Now onto the food. In my opinion even though Indo is labelled as SEA, you'd really have to be a Japanese cuisine enjoyer to fully justify being here. Not because the food itself was bad by any means (the Laarb was very cool), but there simply isn't enough representation on there. In addition, we didn't feel like ordering Temaki or Sashimi, which caused an imbalance as the plates menu tends to be on the flavourful/oily/sugary side. The fusion was well executed overall (my personal favs are sake yaki and the crab salad), it's just too tilted towards East Asian despite not being labelled as such. So overall we didn't think the experience lived up to expectations especially considering the price tag. read more

Great place to enjoy fresh seafood and cocktails! I went to this place two times in 10 days. The menus are quite different, depending on the fish supply. But everything is soooo great! The shrimp toast: this is actually made of deep-fried mashed shrimp, no toast. It's full of flavor and so crispy. Masu sashimi: salmon with a very fruity sauce, everything is so fresh and with great flavor. Plum suger ribs: we ordered it twice. This is the best rib I ever had! The sauce is perfect, with some crunchy nuts on top. The rib is also cooked perfectly! Nigiri is also fresh and perfectly seasoned. I love the one with seared salmon belly. Love the taste of smoked fat! read more

Still dreaming about my shrimp toast! As a California native, I have not found a nice place with fresh seafood in stl like Indo. Right away, you can tell that their selection of food is fresh and artistically designed. We ordered the shrimp toast and a few dishes of sashimi for starters- all was fantastic. The garlic noodles were amazing. The hand rolls are fantastic. It is important to note that there is a 20% gratuity fee included in your overall price, but it is totally worth it for the entire experience. The staff is knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. A great place for date night or a special dinner. read more

We started off our date night with drinks. I ordered the Seolful and my partner ordered the Pythons Pearl. We loved both! We ordered the highly recommended Shrimp Toast and we loved it. Definitely a must order. It was one of the many highlights of the night. We followed the Shrimp Toast with the Sake Yaki and the Laksa. Both were incredible. The chocolate torte was the perfect end to our night. We loved the atmosphere of the patio, the music playing in the background and enjoyed the attention we were give throughout our time there. Highly recommend for a special outing! read more
