Indochine Bistro

From chef Michael Bao Huynh, who has appeared on Iron Chef and MasterChef Vietnam, this new East Asian concept took over Green Papaya on Oak Lawn Avenue. It offers dishes with Vietnamese, Thai, and Lao flavors. The interior features booths and white tablecloths, bistro chairs, and a more upscale ambiance. If you stop by Monday through Sunday from 3 pm to 6 pm, Indochine has a great happy hour for bites and drinks. All cocktails were created by Orson Salicetti— who was a beverage director at the now-closed Lumos nyc, a bar devoted to Chinese liquor (baijiu).
