Esther Asian Restaurant — Restaurant in Indianapolis

Clean and spacious, Burmese restaurant that serves a variety of Asian cuisine (Burmese, Vietnamese, Thai).

We stopped in for lunch on a Sunday. I ordered a coffee and a pho, and my partner ordered the Won Tan Mi.

☕ The coffee was hot and already pre-sweetened with sugar and creamer --no complaints as it was delicious! They also served it in ones of those wonderfully chunky diner mugs that retain heat.

🥣 Pho was the most esthetically pleasing bowl of pho I've seen. The chef had arranged the ingredient! The only bit I didn't quite like was that the sliced jalapeños were already added in the bowl, but I just fished them out, and luckily it wasn't too spicy for me. The pho had a generous portion of noodles. Overall, ok broth flavor but not the best I've had.

🍜 Won Tan Mi was a SUPER RICH, meaty flavored noodle. It's greasy but also super savory, and it featured pork rind bits, pork and wontons.

My boyfriend went inside and waited for like 10 minutes before they even took his order while the staff walked past him multiple times without saying anything. When they finally did take his order, we got the food after a 20 minute wait despite the restaurant not being busy. We ordered the mohinga and the noodles came dry and hard. They barely gave us any noodles but gave us a big tub of broth. The broth was extremely diluted with water and had no flavor. It only looks red in my picture because I put my own seasonings inside once we arrived home. The eggs that came inside were hard and cold as well. Definitely was refrigerated over night. Not a single thing was fresh. Never coming here again. They should fire the chef and whoever is in charge of customer service 0/10. If you’re looking for better Burmese or South East Asian food, go ahead and check out Mommy Thai or Rangoon Restaurant. They can’t...

My partner and I got seated immediately. We only had a minute to look at the menu as the waitress stood there waiting for us to order, so it was pretty awkward.

Our food and drinks came out fairly quick. We ordered the Jasmine tea, Burmese tea, Mohinga (mohinka/ a rice noodle soup), and the Nan gyi thoke (mixed noodle salad).

The soup that came with the nan gyi thoke just tasted like salt water and the nan gyi thoke was really dry. I tried my partners mohinga and I couldn’t really taste anything. I’m sure they have something on the menu that is their specialty.

We didn’t really get checked on even though the waitress passed us multiple times. It looked like she was waiting on a friend to stop by. But they did greet and thank us after we paid...
