This kind of redundancy isn't very compelling. A couple of salads hit the mark. Green papaya, shrimp and pork are tossed with Thai basil and a spicy black bean and vinegar sauce to satisfying ends, and a beef noodle salad is redolent of lemongrass and chiles. A very simple salmon glazed with mirin and miso would have been delicious if it hadn't been overcooked. The accompanying orange-clove butter sauce is a nice invention, a dusky counterpoint to the richness of the fish.
Noodle dishes are mediocre.
Yakisoba is perhaps the best of the lot. Its tangy sauce enlivens the otherwise pedestrian shiitake mushrooms, Napa cabbage and bean sprouts. The dish of undeclared origin, seafood vermicelli, is actually made with soba noodles, and the shellfish that dominate the dish are overcooked. Indochine recently started a lunch buffet, and though I'm hardly a fan of buffets, my one lunch was perhaps the best meal I've had there. The dishes are tamer than most of the menu.
