Probably the best Chinese food you can get in Fountain Square. Me and my girlfriend were bummed they didnt deliver but once you go in and eat youll see why. Its not typical "quick" Chinese at all, but instead a more authentic and culturally representative version of Chinese food. Its pretty basic inside, but I wouldnt expect much more from a family owned Asian restaurant, and rightfully so. The quality is in the food and whatever you get will be delicious.

Its a little hard to find, as they dont have a real sign, but the interior of the small space is nice, minimally decorated, rather elegant. The menu includes mostly Chinese, but also some Thai and Vietnamese dishes. They offer a lot of vegetarian and some vegan options. Our lunches were very satisfying both in quality and quantity. The server was attentive, friendly and spot-on, and the prices very fair - average for our area. Highly recommended!

This place is AMAZING! Quaint restaurant in Fountain Square where the food is affordable and quality. The owner is extremely welcoming and knowledgeable about Asian cuisine. She uses simple, fresh and natural ingredients in way where the food is not greasy at all but has wonderful flavor. The ambiance and service is really great as well. Definitely one of my favorite independently owned restaurants in Indy.

everything can be made vegetarian...even if it is a meat dish. the hot and sour soup was great, and the tangerine sauce was pretty awesome...unique compared to your basic orange sauce. the service was good as well. my only complaint was that the front door would easily open allowing for cold air to come in while we were eating. i recommend sitting as far away from the door as possible

Wonderful food and I can see that dedication in the dishes. This is what "Americanized" Chinese food should taste like. Quiet little place in fountain square, clean and welcoming. The General Tsos and tangerine chicken is tasty, but please try the seafood wontons. Crunchy and delicious, and youll be in heaven. I love it and recommend the restaurant to anyone that will listen.

Food was good but too expensive for what you get. The heating/cooling was not on so it felt muggy and cold. Service was a bit awkward and there was no music or anything so the space was deadly silent when we stopped talking. They should offer more meal options like soup spring roll and entree instead of ala carte. All of the food was really hot and fresh so that was nice.

Everything on the menu is fresh and made to order. The fried rice is always delicious, the vegetables always taste fresh, and the entrees are always hot and perfectly seasoned. Service can be a little slow sometimes, but it is to be expected with made-to-order food and busy lunch times. The servers are very friendly and are happy to make menu recommendations.

So sad when they temporarily closed - most dishes are quite good. I do believe they serve vegan options as well. The soup and crab rangoon are amazing. I have had a couple of chicken dishes and was not disappointed. The only complaint is the staff - awkward, slow, not attentive- like every time - but it has been a bit since I have been back.

One of the best chinese places, food was excellent, service is great, and price is reasonable. Do not let the public construction in front of restaurant discourage you from trying out this fantastic cuisine. The restaurants environment is very peaceful and inviting. This resturaunt is worth trying. They also have carry out.

I dont know how there arent lines out the door of this place. The food is obviously hand-made and not a "pull from bag, drop into fryer" type place. Its unique and delicious. The only complaint I have (and this is tongue in cheek) is that the pricing is too low. I could easily see this 50-100% more and still be reasonable.

She has the best Asian cuisine Ive found in Indy, not to mention some of the best, friendly service one can expect to get anywhere. It is a hidden little gem on Indys near south side. If youre not looking for the little sign in the window, you will drive right by it.

Best Asian food weve ever eaten. Move over, P. F. Changs. The atmosphere was pleasant, the service friendly, and the food, delicious. We got the honey sesame chicken and the Gen. Tsos chicken. Yummmmm! We cant wait to go back. New favorite restaurant: done and done.

Amazing experience at Naisa Cafe this afternoon. The staff was amazing, from very attentive service to great vegan recommendations. The food was very good (especially the Spicy Basil Curry), the prices were great. Ill definitely make this a go to spot in town.

Great food with a wide variety of options available, including healthy and vegetarian options. (Plenty of non-healthy and non-vegetarian options, too). Portions are generous and good for splitting. The staff are friendly. The atmosphere is a bit clinical.

Not only are they delicious, they also deliver. My favorite is the special (~$8) which includes the entree (sesame chicken) fried rice, choice of soup, 1 cheese wonton. You also get fried wontons for the soup. great price for the amount you receive.

Its not authentic Chinese food. Its American Chinese food but the environment And service are very nice. I ordered Chow Mein. It has Chinese parsley. How could be tasty with parsley with noodle?!!

The ingredients are hand picked by the owner. Everything on the menu is tailored to the owners palate. I love the veggie fried rice with Thai basil.

Great dumplings for an appetizer, won ton and egg drop soup, then split an entree (curry chicken with fried rice) which made for an excellent meal.

Its much too quiet here on a Tuesday after work. The rice noodles with shrimp is excellent, particularly on a Tuesday after work.
