Everything was perfect. While I waited for my meal, they even brought me a complimentary soup and spring roll, which was a really thoughtful touch.
My server, Connor, did an outstanding job — attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. I’ve ordered from Baan Thai Bistro many times for takeout or delivery, but this was my first dine-in experience, and it was a very satisfying 10/10.
I ordered the Spicy Basil Fried Rice after seeing it had a 100% rating on Uber Eats, and it absolutely lives up to the hype. Perfectly seasoned, beautifully prepared, and served just right. I could taste every flavor and was genuinely blown away.
The entire kitchen staff was in a great mood, which really added to the atmosphere. Embarrassingly, I dropped my spoon, and a kind woman nearby immediately grabbed me new silverware — just another example of the great energy in the place.
Also — first time ever asking for the spice level “hot,” and they nailed it. Not too hot, not too mild — just perfect.
Thank you, Baan Thai Bistro. Well done.

We shared pad thai and drunken noodles.
Since it was cold, we also had some hot jasmine tea.
Everything was delicious, and the lunch prices were really reasonable.
I’d definitely come back again.

One of the best Thai places we have been to in Indianapolis. Great ambience, service and options. We love the green curry and the hangover soup.

This is a very small Thai place, but it’s very clean and well kept. There isn’t much room inside, but the food makes it worth stopping by. The Thai fried chicken rice bowl is good and flavorful, and the fried rice is also solid. I really liked the crab Rangoon dip—it was tasty and a nice twist. The tom yum soup is not bad and comforting. The crispy rice salad was okay, just not what I expected as a salad since it’s mostly crispy rice and not many greens. Overall, it’s a good little spot with decent food.

First time here and the food was fantastic. Lots of proper traditional dishes , done well . Over all , I give it a 9 /10 . Every thing delicious , well plated and perfectly cooked. The only real critique I have is the Khao Soi. The chicken was completely cooked , but wasn’t cooked long enough to be fall off the bone. I couldn’t pull the chick drumstick apart with chopsticks , and had to strip it with a fork Not the end of the world , but a small point worth noting , Imo. One of the key points of Khao Soi is the fall apart tender meat. Aside from that , it was delicious. The curry broth was fantastic and they had proper mustard greens too …. Many places in the US skip the pickled mustard greens, unfortunately. The Masaman curry was equally delicious as was the boat noodle soup ! We had a truly delightful dinner !! Service was fantastic, with very friendly staff !! It’s in a quant little spot , and used to be a house at one time. It’s gets very busy at peak time, and deservedly so, so you may want to plan accordingly. They do not have a large dining room . Great problem to have though !!! Overall, absolutely will go back , hopefully sooner than later. There are lots of other things on the menu I wish to try !!!

It’s not hyperbole for me to say that this is the best Thai food that I have eaten this side of Thailand. Our daughter and son-in-law had been here two or three times in the past and thought we’d like this place. They definitely were not wrong. The experience here is definitely worth a repeat performance.
Found in the small-town, slightly out-of-the-way suburb of Wanamaker, this establishment is worth the trek from wherever you are in the Indy area (or beyond). Located in a clearly re-purposed building that apparently served previously as a home and hair salon, their cozy dining area created an intimate atmosphere that added to our experience. The diminutive size does limit seating during peak times, however. We had to wait about 45 minutes to be seated on our Saturday evening visit. Since they don’t appear to accept same-night reservations (and it seems like they may not accept reservations at all based on the website), a wait might be inevitable on a busy night unless you fancy an early dinner.
Once seated, our waitress Suzanne attended to us right away and did a fabulous job to make our experience the best it could be. Her recommendations were spot on and her friendly and forthright manner were refreshing. The menu included several tempting Thai favorites making our decisions difficult.
For starters, we chose the Spring Rolls and the Crab Rangoon for the four of us. The Crab Rangoon was particularly noteworthy as the taste was a unique treat unlike any other Rangoon I’ve had. I’d definitely recommend it, even for those lukewarm on the idea of a dish like this.
For entrees, my wife had the Pad Seuw with Beef, which was very good. My daughter had the Drunken Noodles with Beef, which was also flavorful. My son-in-law tried the Pork Belly Ramen, which was a very nice version of this Asian favorite. However, I have to say that I made the best choice. I am a huge curry fan and feel obliged at a Thai place to stay with that instinct. I thought about the Red Curry, but Suzanne indicated that was prepared with a 4 out of 5 on the spice scale (most things you can specify the spice levels from 1 to 5, but not the curries). She suggested the Yellow Curry if I wanted to dial it down to a 3-out-of-5. While I love a great deal of spice, having been to Thailand a few times, I know things can get overwhelming very quickly. Hence, out of an abundance of caution, I went with the Yellow Curry with Chicken as my protein. The curry was outstanding with more coconut than most giving it a sweet and spicy taste. It was absolutely wonderful accompanied by a Jasmine rice complement. While I loved this dish, I now know that I can “graduate” to the Red Curry next time as the level of spice was definitely not too much.
For dessert, the four of us split two items, Fried Bananas with Coconut Ice Cream and Mango with Sticky Rice. Both were excellent. I’ve always been a big fan of Mango and Sticky Rice and this version was terrific.
The prices were very reasonable for this type of restaurant. With two appetizers, four entrees, two desserts, two drinks, tax and tip, the total was just over $120. At a little more than $30 per person, this was a great deal. Given the quality of the fare and the fact that each of us had leftovers for another small meal, this was a fabulous value. This place skyrocketed to the top of our list for the Indy area. Given that we visit often, this was superb find.
