    Dining room
    Wendi S.

    It is a clean restaurant but the set up of chairs seems crowded. It is definitely dated decor and walls need spruced up. I would imagine most of their customers are carryout or delivery. I don't think I'd want to sit here and dine. The addition of the live plants and bamboo is a nice touch but they could get rid of the artificial hanging plants. No menus made available to me so I had to remember what i saw online. There is the standard Chinese food screen above with no pricing. I ordered pork fried rice, spring rolls and steamed dumplings $19.06. I decided against the crab Rangoon because it only had 6. The workers were very friendly and smiling which is always great. They also brought my order to me and pointed out the sauces. They also gifted me a calendar to advertise the business. The fried rice was an odd color, like they put a lot of soy sauce in it. It lacked flavor though. It was like a 6/10. The spring rolls were nice and crispy on the outside but the dough was raw on the inside and could've used more filling and more flavor. The sauce for the dumplings was the flavor they had. I was disappointed because the reviews were mostly positive. I don't think I'll be back.

    2nd time here and great food again. In order to get free crab rangoon we got $2 almond pack of 3 cookies which were also good. My husband got shrimp egg foo young and I got chicken stir fry and we both split crag rangoon.

    There is a first time for everything and I'm so glad I chose this place for lunch today! As soon as I entered I was greeted very nicely and professionally. The restaurant was clean and organized. I'd definitely have a meal to dine in one day. I ordered the shrimp and broccoli lunch special with a side of crab Rangoon's. I also ordered the tea that is freshly made in house that the nice guy recommended. And oh my goodness... EVERYTHING WAS A 10/0!!! my office is pretty close to here so I'll definitely visit you all again. Thank you for your hospitality and professionalism!

    35. Chicken Fried Rice

    I ordered Bamboo house while staying in Indianapolis and I was not disappointed. Delivery was quick and they had no issues finding my room. We wound up ordering a large chicken fried rice and regular Lo Mein, the fried rice was hugeeee but you might still need to order more than one if you're trying to feed more than 2 people. The kids smashed the entire plate and left no crumbs, for me it was a bit bland but they definitely enjoyed it. The lo mein was okay a little too saucy for my liking. It is definitely worth a try if you're in the area.

    Menu.

    Fast lunch. They're are very busy. Would not recommend dining in but take out is a great option

    We get take out from here regularly - always clean, quick, and delicious! Not overly greasy like a lot of casual Chinese food.

    Only good thing I have to say about this restaurant is the hot and sour soup. So overpriced and food was very below average

    Cheap Chinese food that delivers. You know the rest. Not much else to say. These places are more frequent than McDonald's anymore.

    Food is really good, but a couple critiques. There is a lot…read moreof oil on the food, but the flavor is phenomenal, so if you don't mind the oil, definitely recommend. Also, quite expensive. The portions aren't what you typically expect from your usual Chinese takeout, a lot smaller.

    I'll preface this by saying I've only done takeout from this location, so I can't really speak to…read morethe dine-in service, but I'm just excited that Tian Fu opened an east side spot. It's so much more convenient than driving all the way to the northwest side of Indy. I've been on the hunt for solid American-Chinese food and anything close to more traditional Cantonese-style dishes. Still searching overall, but Tian Fu definitely has some pretty solid options. I specifically go out of my way for their Beef Stir-Fried Rice Noodles (Beef Chow Fun), which I haven't been able to find anywhere else in the city. The noodles have great texture and flavor, and it totally scratches that craving. I also really liked their fried marinated chicken wings, perfect mix of crispy skin and flavorful. I've heard they have a separate Chinese menu you can request, which makes me even more curious to dine in sometime and explore more of their offerings. Overall, I'd recommend them for the variety alone, easily one of the better Chinese food spots in the city, especially if you're on the east side and want something reliable for takeout.

    It's the newest neighborhood place for casual Chinese food. It is a popular takeout spot. New China…read moredoes a busy delivery business with Uber Eats, DoorDash, and probably others. Today, I decided to have an eat-in experience. They have 6 four-top tables along with 1 table that sits 8 guests. There's a TV that usually plays ABC News Live. Tonight is no exception. The cashier stops at the table to check on me and ensure my meal is satisfactory. It's good food at a reasonable price and their restaurant is clean. (I did not visit the restroom.) if you're interested in basic Chinese food--they do have Egg Foo Yung with all the different meats. (EFY is not an option for a Combo meal.) This restaurant is a good option.

    I'd give it a solid 3.5. I didn't take a picture of the sad…read morelittle baby spring rolls... bless it, but they were tasteless. The orange chicken was really good - like, I'd order that again without hesitation. They give you plenty! I don't even know how I'm going to eat all the leftovers. I was expecting the small to be... well, small. Anyway. The pepper steak was just okay. It lacked flavor for me. And of course, lots of giant peppers instead of slicing them down...and a crap ton of veggies without much steak. But that's typical. The shrimp fried rice... Tasteless. I don't usually like to add more soy sauce to my food (and I didn't), but you're gonna need to drizzle the sauce from one of the other meals onto it or SOMETHING because homegirl was tasteless. Disappointing. The shrimp and broccoli was fine - exactly what you'd expect. Everything was packaged well, so I'd say attentive service for takeout. Not sure what it looks like on the inside/bathrooms/cleanliness, etc. since we did takeout, but I would go back for the orange chicken unless I find a place with better + solid shrimp fried rice. P.S. Remember when they used to automatically put eggs in the fried rice without you having to pay extra? I miss those days.
