| - I was couch surfing down the road and had to try some local Thai, having worked at a Thai place in my home city, so I walked down here one Tuesday evening for carry out.
Instead of calling ahead, I walked on over to see the inside, stated carryout and asked for a menu. The outside looks pretty bland, but the inside is a dim-lit, mood-setting environment that I enjoyed very much with a full bar. I sat at the bar and ordered a pad Thai with shrimp and chicken at max spiciness (best way to judge a new Thai place is by its all-popular pad Thai!). I ordered a beer while I waited and sat quietly. The place was pretty empty, but that's expected on a Tuesday night, even at dinner time. Food took about 15 minutes and I was on my way.
Unfortunately, the food was almost as bland as the building. The pad thai noodles are also the thicker, more-Japanese style noodle than the thinner pad thai, which added more to the lack of flavor. I ended up having to add sriracha to cover the significant lack of spice and flavor. The shrimp was very minimal (2-3 pieces). But one plus is that there was a ton* of food and the quantity almost made up for the poor quality. This is the only reason there are 3, instead of 2, stars.
I don't know if Indianapolis is blessed with amazing Thai food, or if this place really is that bad. Either way, I was very disappointed.
