October Hole in the Wall Lunch

[Brian Huff]

Ok, so I'm stoked about this months locale. Rae, Doug, and I have talked about heading to Sizzling Wok on the NW side of town for October. It's located on Michigan Ave. and 71st St (North of 71st on the west side of Michigan).

The address is: 7280 N Michigan Rd, Indianapolis, IN

It's a great Vietnamese place that serves great clay pots, vietnamese pancakes, and the such.

Which date is better for everyone? October 17th or 24th? Rae astutely pointed out that there are 5 Fridays in October.

So how was the Sizzling Wok?

Hey Doug,

I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to pop on to reply. This was my first experience with Vietnamese food and it was much milder than I expected. I had a chicken curry dish, which was very good, but I was expected more of the punch I get from Thai curry or Indian. I also had a Goi Roll, which was a spring roll that came with a great peanut dipping sauce. Brian ordered the Vietnamese pancake, which isn't really a pancake. It's more like a fritatta that was folded over with vegetables and sprouts. I had a taste and it was really good. It's on the appetizer menu but was large enough for a meal itself. Andrew ordered one of the lunch specials, which came with soup and an egg roll, and was stunned when he saw his bill and realized their lunch specials are only $4.80! Oh, and the Vietnamese coffee was tasty ...

I opted for more traditional Chinese - Egg Foo Yung. I hadn't had this in a very long time. It was very good. I totally enjoyed it. I'll be going back there.
