Amazing hidden gem for sushi & drinks 😁 the environment has very nice relaxed atmosphere great for a casual date but can be elevated if you visit at night.There are so many options I have yet to try! Everything is prepared with beautiful presentation and tastes fantastic. The art on the walls will definitely spark conversation and the staff is very friendly & knowledgeable if you have any questions.
I don’t know how long Indie has been around but I’ve been going since 2001. The food is always spectacular and delicious! Tonight I asked who owned the restaurant. They pointed to a lady sitting in the back of the restaurant. I had no clue. In all my years, she has never visited my table to ask how things were. Doesn’t mean she hasn’t done that for other tables, but I’ve never seen anyone but the servers at my table and those around me. And while I find that odd and somewhat disappointing that she doesn’t care about her patrons in that way to visit, talk, and ask for feedback, I will still always go back because it is always solid. The Bang Bang Shrimp is amazing. The Crab Rangoon is unique and tasty (eat it there, not to go), and the Crispy Chili Heaven is out of this world! So many good things on the menu.
This made for a good date night spot. We split the Chicken Gyozas which came in a dish perfect for two. We also ordered the Mexico City and Chicago Crazy rolls. Delicious but keep in mind they are kind of big rolls. 🍣 🥟 🍶
I went to Indie again to celebrate my birthday 🎂 with my friends. The quality of food and the cocktails are amazing 👏
The waitress is very attentive. We had the best experience ever.
How have I not left a review for this place?! Indie is our go to Thai spot and has been for years. In fact when I went into labor, I ordered their Crab Rangoon as my final baby-free meal. 🤣 their food is fresh, it’s flavorful and reasonably priced. I love their curries, their pad see-ew, drunken noodles, pretty much all the sushi they make, and of course, the Crab Rangoon. A little bit of hot sake is the perfect thing to go with your meal on a cold night. The owners have been hustling and expanding this place for many years and I’m so glad I live close! We love Indie!!
I love this place! The quality of the food and the reasonable price brings me back again and again. I had the salmon with garlic fried rice and asparagus, look at the presentation!!
The staff and food were excellent! Some of the best sushi around Chicago. I recommend the almond monkey roll. The only reason for the three stars regarding the atmosphere was because it felt a little crowded navigating around the sushi bar in the center of the restaurant to get to my table, and the artwork I find a little creepy yet compelling. But that's my opinion! Please come, eat, and form your own. Great place.
If you're looking for a slightly upscale sushi bar in Edgewater, you can officially stop looking. Indie is a great restaurant with excellent food, and plenty of indoor and outdoor dining. I would highly recommend people to visit Indie. And it's important to note that even if you don't like sushi, they have a ton of great noodle dishes!
I absolutely love this place. The service is always wonderful, the food is unparalleled, and the atmosphere can be casual, romantic, and bright. It has the best sushi around and going here always lifts my spirits - it’s why I’ve come here for my last two birthdays!
We're a Thai family living outside-Thailand and on a vacation in Chicago for two weeks. As we were dying for Pad Thai and Pad See eew, our usual comfort foods while on the go, Indie Cafe in Edgewater did not disappoint us. An easy hang-out in the neigborhood, the unpretentious atmosphere with local Chicagoan-touch comforted the far-away-from-home family like ours.
