The older sibling of the two sister restaurants, iNDO and Sado--both of which I consider to be the best Asian cuisine you can find in STL. Of these two, however, I find iNDO to be more intimate and one of the best date night spots in the city. The menu highlights Southeast Asian flavors and is broken up into Temaki, Sashimi, and various small plates--all of which are listed from lightest to heaviest. The food is always visually stunning and equally delicious. Offerings rotate seasonally, however there are some crowd favorites and signature dishes that seem to stick around like the Issan Hamachi and Shrimp Toast. Be aware that the dining experience is centered around the idea of trying several different flavors from the menu and are sized for sharing. If you are not experienced with this format, the servers do an excellent job explaining how to course out your selections. Aside from the food. iNDO has some very interesting cocktail options, both savory and sweet / hot and cold. On top of that they also feature an excellent wine/spirit list which includes some great Sake and Japanese Whisky options. Despite gratuity already being included on the bill, the staff at iNDO clearly does not view this as a means to take it easy. They are incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable on all areas of the menu. iNDO is certainly worth the trip. Come with an open mind and empty stomach but don't forget the reservation! read more

Everything about Indo makes for an elevated dining experience without the stuffy dress code or white tablecloths. From the moment you walk in the door, you get the sense the staff is there to take care of you -- from making sure you know where the restroom is to making sure you order their best options. Last time I was there we had a few of those staples: the shrimp toast, the signature sashimi, and the cabbage salad. Everything is excellent but the shrimp toast is like nothing I've had anywhere else and the sashimi is some of the best in St. Louis. I literally have no notes! Indo is one of the best restaurants in STL. read more

I have gone to Indo 3x in the last 3 weeks. It is my favorite. It is so tasty and I love everything they serve. The service is so great. Everyone is so kind and helpful. I love the vibes and always come back for more! read more

Woah! Talk about fusion! What Small plates, take a few. I had the cabbage salad which was not a regular salad, to my surprise it was very flavorful and had a touch of fusion which is the basil that was in it. I also ordered the tofu, this was nicely plated, with more than 5 piece, also very flavorful, reminds me of a more chinese dish cause of the soy base sauce along with some scallion. The Japanese Pumpkin, this was also very good, the sauces are the best! The asian in me needed white rice to eat with the sauce! Lastly I had the Chili Garlic Noodles, these were also very good! A little on the salty side for me but still tasty. Over the whole experience was impressive. Usually I am not a big fan of fusion, but they did fusion well. Environment From the exterior it looked like a small place but wow! I love the outdoor seating area. A lot of space. I went in December, and there were heaters and all. Very private space available. There was 5 of us and we had a little room looking gazebo....? Niceness of the staff Very nice staff, very friendly. Gave a lot of recommendations and that's how I ended up with that many dishes. I like that she inquired about dietary needs, which i hope she took into consideration when I ordered... Dollar Some top dollar! I also did not like that they add 20% tip to the bill.... although they do tell you that at the door, you have been warned Yes? I am not from St. Louis, but I would definitely return or recommend it to people. read more

Came here for my birthday for the first time and found the best seafood dishes here! Pricey but totally worth it. My fav is uni which is sea urchin sushi. I made a reservation here for the outside but it started to rain. Then their great customer care took care of us and we were at the bar in 10 minutes. Great to watch the chefs making all those amazing food in front of you. read more

Hands down one of the best meals we've enjoyed in years. The hospitality was top-notch, and when each server delivered the next dish they reminded us of what made each plate special. Honestly, not a single thing disappointed. The Crispy Tofu, Chili Garlic Noodles, Isaan Hamachi, and Shrimp Toast were all STELLAR but the sushi was on point as well. Everything was expertly plated and the cocktails were DIVINE. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for date night or dinner with friends. We ordered: Isaan Hamachi Laarb Shrimp Toast Chili Garlic Noodles Crispy Tofu Madai Sashimi Hamachi - yellowtail Tokujo Uni - sea urchin Toro - fatty bluefin tuna Kinmedai - goldeneye snapper Masu - cherry ocean trout Jasmine Rice Pudding Hana's Ice Cream - Chai read more

Read about this place in a Condé Nast article when looking for restaurants in St. Louis. Initially wasn't sure about sushi in St. Louis, but after weeks of Southern food during our travels, we were ready for something lighter and fresher. This place was amazing! We have eaten sushi in a lot of places, including some of the top restaurants in Japan and this place is among the best we've had. The fish is very fresh, but what makes this place unique is all the flavors that are paired with the sashimi. It enlightens every taste bud in your mouth, incredible textures combined with delicious flavors. Most of the time great sashimi is a piece of perfectly sliced raw fish served with ginger, fresh grated wasabi, and some soy. This was not that, the chef has created different sauces and flavors that pair perfectly with the type of fish. In addition to the incredible sashimi dishes, we also had the Shrimp Toast, Tofu, Garlic Noodles, and a Hamachi Kama, which was delightful if you are willing to pick around a fish collar for meat. And for dessert, the chocolate torte was also pretty good. However, the highlight is the sashimi, so go for that. read more

This place has been on my list for a long time and finally got a chance to try it out. Went with the bf for a birthday dinner. Reservation definitely recommended! Lots of space indoors, and tables spaced out. Proof of vaccination required. Service was friendly, fast, overall great! The food. Oh man the food. From the first bite we knew we were in for a good ride. Every dish was full of flavor. Amazimg texture. Perfect combination of different flavors. I already want to go back. But pricing is definitely not for a casual all the time meal. More of a special occasion meal. But so so sooooo worth it. Favorite of the night was probably the shrimo toast but everything else was still amazing. Also order a drink. The seoulful. Lifht citrusy and great for palette cleansing between dishes. Can't wait til our next visit! read more

I have been wanting to check out Indo for the longest time. This restaurant deserves all of the hype! From the decorations, ambience, to the food quality, everything was 5-star for me. This is definitely an up-scale restaurant so the price is in the higher range. However, I think my experience was totally worth it. They only offer small plates so you are expected to order at least 2 plates per person. We ordered 4 plates and 2 nigiri and they were so delicious. The portion size of the small plate was actually very decent. We were full after our meal for sure. The sashimi tasted fresh and juicy, better than most sushi places in St. Louis. Every bite melted in my mouth. My favorite dish was this crab noodle dish. It reminded me so much of a similar Vietnamese dish. You should also try their drinks! I love the cocktail selection and they paired perfectly with the vibe of the restaurant. Their drinks feature a wide variety of hi-end liquor with interesting combinations, professionally executed by skillful mixology. This place is perfect for a fancy date night, anniversary and birthday! Make sure to reserve your spots in advance because they are busy, especially on the weekends. read more

Asian fusion food really excites me and this one just hit the spot!! Great ambiance, amazing service and exceptional food- they have it all. We ordered majority of the menu, and honestly not disappointed with a single dish! Everything was spectacular - I mean it!! They do small plates so you would have to get at least 2-3 tapas per person for a proper meal. Their cocktails were pretty great too - loved the konashi- so good!! For apps, our favs were the shrimp toast, larb, gyoza and chilli garlic noodles! The cabbage salad was a pleasant surprise! Definitely recommend planning a meal here and getting your name on the reservation list! Great find in St. Louis! read more

This was an unreal experience. The flavors and textures of each dish were unique, vibrant, and just delectable. I am already dying to go back. I think I'll have dreams about the food. The service was great as well. Be warned- there is an automatic 20% gratuity included in the bill, no matter the party size. It took us 3 weeks to get in and with a late dinner reservation time, but it was worth the wait! read more

Surprised my baby with a date night to this place and it did not disappoint! So much so that we still think about it well after the weekend! From what I gather, it's Japanese/Thai fusion. I'm going to lay this out for you so it takes out the guess work. Start with the Palm Sugar Ribs. Full of flavor! Take a break, have a sip of your water/cocktail to cleanse the palate and grab yourself some Masu Sashimi. Uh-mazing! Final course, the Sake Yaki. Crispy Salmon in Tom Kha broth. Soooo yummy! End it with Coconut Apple Rice Pudding. BOOM! You're welcome. Quick shoutout to our boy Kyle who killed it on the serving & recommendations. Are you a horrible tipper with an earnest desire to no longer suck? No worries, they include a 20% gratuity that's split between the staff so they can continue to live and provide great service and delicious food. And if you're feeling generous, you can leave extra. We had a wonderful evening here and we hope this review helps you to experience a lovely evening as well. What are you waiting for? Grab a reservation, bruh! read more

This might be my new favorite restaurant in St. Louis. The food was phenomenal and outside patio has heaters that made it very comfortable even in the winter. Would highly recommend the shrimp toast appetizer and hamachi. Sugar ribs were a bit too sweet, would not get this next time. Make a reservation far in advance! This place is popular. Perfect for a special occasion. read more

I've wanted to try this restaurant ever since moving to St Louis. After eating at its sister restaurant Nippon Tei, I knew I had to make my way to its elevated cousin. When we got to the restaurant, we were presented with the option to sit indoors. There was a small bar seating area with a larger room in the back. It was dark inside, which is perfect for an intimate dinner, but we wanted something brighter and opted for outdoor seating. Their patio was super cute. Definitely one of the best I've seen in STL. Since it's covered and has heating/fans, the rain that evening was no issue. The decor was also simple but cute. The drinks were good but not exceptional. While I liked the alcoholic taro bubble tea-inspired cocktail, it was a bit too sweet. The Noble Makham is one of their specialities - it too wasn't bad but also left me wanting more. For our food, we got the Japanese eggplant (delish!), the chili garlic noodles (more or less the same as Nippon Tei's), and the big omakase hand rolls. The menu had lots of options for both traditional sushi and fusion small plates. Whatever you order, you'll spend a pretty penny, but I think it's worth it. I would definitely want to go back! Next time I visit, I definitely want to try their hamachi dish, which our lovely server recommended! read more

The staff were so sweet and welcoming. Overall a wonderful experience. read more

My favorites of the night: Masu Nigiri $12, Issan Hamachi (most popular dish) $20, and Japanese Pumpkin $14. The $28 Laksa was good, mussels and shirmp + roe in curry sauce. I might have been curried out from the Japanese Pumpkin appetizer. The $28 Sake Yaki was a little disappointing. There was nothing outstanding about this dish. It was basically fried salmon on a bed of mashed potatoes. The cocktails were not very appealing to my taste buds. I tried the Kinboshi, A Day in the Temple and the Python's Pearl. The hostess informs you up front about the automatic 20% tip that is added to the bill. Service was good, so we would have tipped at least 20% anyhow. For the upscale pricing, I was expecting more from the main dishes. Where they really shine is with the nigiri and I would rather stick with those than venture more into the top portion of the menu. The restaurant is small with outdoor/enclosed-addition-to-the-restaurant seating available. Reservations recommended. .|\---/| | o_o | .\_^_/..2021 read more

Best meal in St. Louis hands down. Definitely make a reservation as the place was full up. Service was spectacular. The drinks were fantastic we had the Tears of Dawn and Hidaka Dragon. Also had Taro Shinju and Fit for Himiko. We started with 2 orders of the hand roll Imamate which was mouth watering and made me want to come. Ack all on its own. We had the Laarb lamb tartar which was yummy. The Isaan Hamachi subtle and so good. The miso cod was pure gold. The maxi sashimi was excellent. The Laksa curry was chock full of seafood and delicious. I could eat here every day a d would never be bored. Free parking lot. Easy to get to. Love this place! read more

We came here to celebrate my sister's birthday and ordered the gyoza, shrimp toast, crispy tofu, cabbage salad, Japanese eggplant, short rib curry, and a few of the temaki rolls. We tried to debrief after the meal to pick a favorite, and it was impossible. Everything was incredible. The shrimp toast was a textural treat. The tamarind dressing on the cabbage salad has the most delicate spicy/sweet balance. The Japanese eggplant packs flavor, and the labna it's served with made me want to lick the plate clean. The short rib curry was the perfect way to round out the meal - imagine being curled under a plush blanket in front of a wood burning fire with your favorite book on a snowy day. That is the sensation I was filled with while eating this curry. Honestly my mouth is watering writing this review. Truly divine food, attentive service, intimate ambience. All of the James Beard recognition is so well deserved. iNDO is phenomenal and we will be back again and again. read more

Very good. quality was superb. Well made, perfectly seasoned. It's not easy to add creativity to a cuisine that is already so simple and sophisticated but Indo did well.

If Saint Louis had a "hot, new" restaurant, this would be it. I have been hearing rave reviews about Indo for months now and I finally got to check it out this weekend! We made a reservation and they are giving you a 1 hour and 45 minute time slot which is plenty of time! What I ordered: I started with the air chrysalis to drink. I had never tried sake before and there were a lot of other flavors in the drink so I still am not quite sure what it tastes like. To eat I ordered the yellowtail nigiri. It has to be some of the best nigiri I've had in stl. Then I got the Japanese pumpkin. The flavor of the curry was amazingly smooth with just a little bit of spicy. (My picture of this dish is awful bc I guess I moved the phone before it was actually taken, but oh well hahaha.) I am such a big fan of Indo! I know what everyone was raving about. read more

I'm writing this review with a heavy heart, as I've recently moved away from Saint Louis and won't be able to continue my monthly dining experience at Indo. Thank you Indo for the countless memories you've given our friend group and the incredible sushi you continue to prepare for your guests. Indo was the first sushi spot to open me up to nigiri and sashimi, as they have such a wide variety of fish to ease you into the culture. I'll never forget your Short Rib Curry or your beautifully prepared nigiri platters. You'll always have a place in my heart. read more

Indo is raved to be the best fusion Thai Japanese restaurant in St Louis. I was really excited trying. Service is 5 stars, presentations is 5 stars while food flavors, though is 4 stars due to lack of consistency. Price is quite high. I personally dont eat a lot, but it costs me $100, including tax and 20% tips. During covid, there is outdoors dining. Heaters are placed all over the restaurant so it was still nice and cozy. Menu is pretty simple leaning towards either sushi / fusion raw fish, and Malaysia/ Singaporean dishes. One highlight of Indo is the fresh quality sashimi items that come directly from Japan. A few things to recommend: 1) Isaan Hamachi ($20) is the all-time favorite. It is the highlight of my dinner. 2) All nigiris I ordered were of superb quality and reasonably priced ($5/piece) Two items I had I feel is so-so: 1) Laarb is a bit too spicy or the spices a bit too overpowering. The rice crackers pairing is a fun idea but the flavor doesnt blend too well with the lamb tartare. 2) The cabbage salad was a little bitter. The sweet peanuts and onions were hoping to offset the bitterness. I guess they forgot the dressing possibly... I still feel Indo is a nice treat once in a while, but need to be careful with the selected dishes read more
