This is one business among many in a strip mall on the main drag in Broad Ripple. That may be why we never hit it up before now. Had I known what was in store for us I would have wanted to go sooner. They offer lunch specials similar to other Chinese joints in town but we ordered from the regular menu. We each ordered a pork egg roll for $1.60. It was a pretty good roll, however I forgot to take a shot of it. I could have eaten another one. The first thing I noticed was they serve everything in and on disposable ware. Even the cutlery is plastic.
We had never ate here before and we were very pleased. We ate in, but their food is perfect for take out. I ordered the orange chicken combination platter (which came with pork fried rice and an egg roll) and my wife got the vegetable lo mein with a vegetable roll. The fillers for the rolls were a little different, but a good different. The orange chicken was juicy and delicious. The lo mein noodles were not too thin and the sauce was really good. Everything was great!
The best Chinese restaurant. Very delicious chinese food, and the price is cheap compare to the other. I like this restaurant.
Best Chinese in town. This is the only place we order Chinese from. Prices are good, they have great specials, and it's not nearly as greasy as other places. Good quality!
Great for dieters. Side Wok Cafe offers great food and an excellent "Special Diet Menu" which is steamed protein (chicken, beef, shrimp,tofu) along with vegetables and steamed white rice. The meal comes with savory brown sauce which is great and soup. A complete meal at lunch for under $5. So long McDonalds! A most enjoyable meal for dieters.
Excellent food! I always get carry out- house special lo mein and a side order of spring rolls, which are amazing. My husband gets the sesame chicken and is happy every time. I have ordered from several Chinese places, but this one is by far the best!! Highly recommend.

Consistent!. When it comes to good ol' Chinese-American, #21 w/ egg roll combo takeout, there is ONE WORD i need to hear... Consistent. I like to find a local Chinese joint for those nights when nobody wants to cook, and all too often I have been lulled into thinking I have finally found that right place... And then - My General Tso's Chicken has been over-fried... The sauce is incredibly gummy... The broccoli is brown! Yikes!
This is never the case with Side Wok Cafe. Every time I go, my food is just as I want it... Nothing spectacular, mind you... I'm only expecting them to NOT screw it up. But Side Wok never screws it up. Take out comes in great plastic containers, perfect for taking to work the next day... I don't quite know what else to say about this place! They just always deliver the goods...
When I first moved to Indianapolis, I went on a hunt for a truly great, mom & pop Chinese place like I had back home when I was a kid. This search had me way out on the east side, up in Carmel, and all around broad ripple... and I settled on Side Wok Cafe. Someday I may aspire to find that great, white whale of a Chinese joint, but until then... I am content with consistently tasty.
Great Food. This has to be one of the best, if not the best, Chinese food in Indy. The food is fresh and cooked to order. The Crab Rangoon is the best I have had anywhere.
I’ve gotten carry out at Side Wok for many years. The meals are consistently good . You get what you expect over and over again. The value is excellent.
The couple operating the Side Wok are good people.
Always good food ran by a very nice family. Some of the best take out food in the Broad Ripple area. Been going here for over 10 years.
Love my go to order of chicken and broccoli. Tasty food for a nice price.
