Don't do like I did and show up on a cold and rainy Monday night when the only thing you want to do is curl up with a hot bowl of pho and a blanket, because Indochine is closed on Mondays. Drat! But that's how we learn, isn't it? Go any other night and Indochine will serve you up a flavorful chicken or beef pho into which you can shred up pieces of fresh Thai basil or add bean sprouts (or not). Not juicy enough? Add some more fish or chile sauce. Need it to go? Indochine is prepared for you with styrofoam containers for the broth and separate plastic bags for the noodles and other accoutrements. Find a big bowl at home, combine it all together, and you're ready for a night of television, or a nice book, or whatever it is you do at home.
Indochine also makes a nice guoi cuon (spring roll) filled as it is with fresh steamed shrimp, rice noodles, chicken, lettuce and mint. They also make an amazing fresh lemonade or nuoc da chanh if you're inclined to order it in Vietnamese. The atmosphere is very low key, clean and modern, a perfect stop on the way home or no-hassle spot to grab a quick dinner with a friend. They even have a few spots at the counter for solo diners.
