About This Place

Located in the heart of Indianapolis at 4150 Lafayette Rd D, King Wok is a vibrant Southeast Asian restaurant that transports diners straight to the bustling streets of Vietnam and beyond. Specializing in authentic Vietnamese and Asian cuisine, this welcoming eatery offers an impressive menu filled with rich, aromatic flavors that evoke comfort and excitement with every bite.

From the moment you step inside King Wok, the inviting aroma of simmering broths and fresh herbs sets the stage for a truly memorable dining experience. The owners’ warm hospitality shines through, making guests feel right at home, whether enjoying a relaxed solo meal or dining with a lively group.

Signature dishes like the Pho Tai Nam – a silky beef rice noodle soup garnished with tender sliced beef and flank – provide a perfect balance of savory depth and fresh herbal brightness. The Hot and Sour Soup and Goi Cuon Vietnamese Spring Rolls are delightful starters, featuring crisp textures and tangy, vibrant flavors that awaken the palate.

For those craving a heartier plate, the Com Ga Nuong (grilled chicken rice) and Sweet and Sour Chicken offer indulgent, satisfying options that strike a perfect harmony between savory and sweet. The menu's diversity extends with offerings like Bun Bo Hue, a robust spicy Hue-style vermicelli soup, and Lemongrass Chicken, which dazzles with fragrant citrus notes and tender, juicy meat.

The tea selection is not to be overlooked; a pot of fresh Jasmine Tea complements each meal, infusing a subtly floral aroma that enhances the overall dining experience. Vegetarians are equally well served with options such as the Vegetarian Noodle Soup and flavorful Lemongrass Tofu, ensuring everyone finds something to savor.

Guests consistently praise King Wok for its friendly atmosphere and attentive staff, creating an environment that invites return visits. As Kate Elsner noted, the owners’ personal touch and genuine warmth make gatherings, even with large groups, feel effortless and enjoyable.

While the egg rolls received mixed reactions, other dishes like the spring rolls and pho have left lasting impressions, as Kayla Dawn’s delightful feedback confirms. Even the more experienced diner finds themselves dreaming about these flavors long after their meal ends.

In essence, King Wok is more than just a restaurant; it’s a flavorful journey into Southeast Asian culinary traditions, served with kindness and an authentic flair.

    We had an amazing experices at King Wok. It seemed like the owners were working during our visit and were both incredibly friendly. We had a group of 12 softball players who ALL loved their food and pho choices. We added chili oil and a hardboiled egg to our dishes. 100% would visit again and recommend to others.

    Went on a weekend with 2 others, all with light appetites. Very busy, but somehow managed to quickly obtain a table without reservations. Initial confusion, since lunch plates are only served weekdays. We only ordered one entrée to share (Sweet and Sour Chicken); plus one extra side of fried rice; plus three small bowls of soup (Egg Drop, Hot and Sour, and Wonton.) Our waiter was very friendly, and he brought out three small empty plates to share for the entrée, without us asking. Food was enjoyed by all, and there was plenty of it for our three light appetites. Soup went from steaming hot to comfortably hot quickly, maybe from the surface area ratio of the small size. I believe this is more of an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, but that also serves Americanized Chinese dishes (such as we ordered.) A couple of muted TV screens for the bored. Sriracha bottles at tables. Beer is on the menu, seemingly alone for alcoholic beverages. We received spoons, forks and chopsticks; no knives, but maybe those are also available if requested? Very pleased with food, service, and pricing. The best deals are probably those weekday lunches, tho.

    Have stopped in here twice, once for carry out once for a quick bite and it was so good both times!! Highly recommend the pho and the lemon grass tofu! The egg rolls were just so so but the other dishes I’ll be dreaming about. Plus the staff is super friendly.

    Honesty, I love this place. They have great food. I love their spring rolls the best. The last time I came here, the noodle soup was a sweet for some reason. There weren’t as much noodles as there was before. I had to give this a four star because the service wasn’t as good as it used to be. I never got asked if my food was okay or if I needed anything unlike the other customers there. Overall, they have amazing food.
