I recently visited Indie cafe for sushi and Thai food. They did not disappoint me The ambiance is cozy and relaxed. The Sashimi is fresh with beautiful presentation. I order the omakase and triple S, which has the perfect balance of flavor. The Thai dishes are equally impressive, the basil rice dish and pad Thai is a must try. It,s packed with flavor.

Some of the best sushi I have ever had. The crab Rangoon was so unique and delicious. The waitress was nice, it was very low key inside. Casual with amazing food, a quiet place to indulge.

Tried Indie again after a year away. Happy to report the food was decent this time--basil chicken was smoked caramel with the just the right amount of heat, and nigiri was nicely thick slabs of fresh fish. Missing the different types of roe they used to garnish with, and the pieces have gotten slightly smaller, but I appreciate that they are trying to keep down food costs without sacrificing quality. Glad they will fill an order close to 9pm, too!

Over the years, Indie Cafe has been amazingly kind and thoughtful in their service, and their food preparations and presentations always go above and beyond all of my expectations. From quadruple-checking whether or not a menu item is gluten-free, to recommending the best wine/sake pairings for an entrée, their staff have always ensured that I've left their restaurant knowing that I was appreciated as a customer. And welcomed as a friend. Given the quality of their sashimi, the creativity behind their menu, and the warmth in their hearts? I look forward to dining with them for many years to come.

Our party of three all had curry. The Red Curry had great flavor, ask for it mild if you are sensitive to spice. The Panang was also good, as was the Signature Curry which had a lot of filling in the sauce, some kind of crunchy noodle, potato, some kind of squash along with chicken. Could have used more sauce with all the filling. The prices at Indie Cafe are relatively reasonable, considering restaurant prices these days. The ambiance on one side of the restaurant is somewhat lacking. It seems a little cozier on the side to the north. We parked right in front at a metered spot.
