Crave-Worthy Asian Fusion in German Village + New Albany

Shareable plates, Bold Flavors, & Cocktails worth settling in for.

At Bendi Wok N Bar, we do things a little differently.

Bendi blends Thai-inspired curries, wok-fired noodles, shareable plates, and craft cocktails into a dining experience built for cravings, date nights, lunch breaks, and “just one drink” that turns into three.

From Pad Thai and Panang curry to crab rangoon, Korean ribs, and cocktail flights during Sake Hour, everything is designed to be bold, flavorful, and anything but forgettable.

Casual enough for a weeknight dinner. Elevated enough for a night out. Not typical sad Chinese takeout. Just really good food + drinks you’ll start craving again before you’ve even left the parking lot.

Not your Typical

Chinese Restaurant

Wok-Fired. Cocktail-Forward. Built for Cravings.

Bendi Wok N Bar takes inspiration from Thai, Vietnamese, and Japanese flavors to create a dining experience that feels bold, modern, and seriously craveable.

This isn’t the heavy, predictable restaurant experience you’ve come to expect. Bendi is built around wok-fired noodles, rich curries, shareable plates, bright ingredients, and craft cocktails that hold their own beside the food. From Pad Thai and Korean ribs to late-night cocktails and quick weekday lunches, everything is designed to keep flavor at the center of the experience.

Casual enough for a spontaneous dinner. Elevated enough for date night. The kind of place you start craving again before you’ve even left the parking lot. .

More Than a Restaurant

Bendi is built around connection. The kind that happens over shared appetizers, another round of cocktails, and the “you have to try this” moment across the table. We wanted to create a space that feels welcoming, energetic, and a little unexpected while still delivering the consistency and hospitality that keeps people coming back.

Whether you’re dining in, ordering online, planning catering for an office lunch or private event, or stopping in for sake hour, our goal is simple: serve memorable food in a space people genuinely enjoy spending time in.
