Indie Cafe Sushi & Thai: Awful or Awesome?

In a rare negative review, Chicago Gluttons slams Indie Cafe Sushi & Thai, and in so doing illustrates an ex post facto feeling that we’ve had ourselves after most disappointing meals: “After returning home from Indie, I yearned to know what I had potentially missed on the menu,” writes disappointed Glutton d. “I wanted to believe that the entire dining party had ordered erroneously; like hobos fresh off the Appalachian Trail, dumbfounded by hunger and hype.” However it happened, it was not a good meal: “With every bite, I had gluttonous remorse. My thoughts were centered around all the delicious things that I could have been eating. I slowly came to the realization that I would never get this dining time back. It was like a lecture from Dad. It was like paying to eat in a curry horse trough.” In contrast, Indie has received glowing writeups from MenuPages reviewers, who call it “my favorite Thai place in Chicago” and fall all over themselves praising the crab rangoon.
