Ann Limbert - July 31, 2020
New to Indo-Chinese food? While it exists in the area—largely in Northern Virginia—there are only a handful of places that serve more than say, a single plate of peppery, deep-fried chicken Manchurian.

First Look: Indochen Serves Up Indian-Chinese Cuisine In Old Town Alexandria
Shenise Foster - June 30, 2022
Old Town Alexandria has a new neighbor on upper King Street in Indochen, an Indian-Chinese restaurant that builds on a favorite in the city’s West End neighborhood.
Indochen comes from Chef Ram Thapa, Kumar KC, Hari Lama and Ashok Tamang — a group of friends that became business partners when they bought acclaimed Alexandria restaurant London Curry House in 2018. During the pandemic, they converted the restaurant in the Cameron Station development to Indochen, and now they’ve opened a second in the new Hyatt Centric Old Town hotel on King Street.
