    Excellent food. Priced rite. Always consistent. Atmosphere is bland-not good date nite location LOL HIGHLY recommend this place for awesome Chinese

    My boyfriend loves this place and now that I've ate here I can see why. On the outside it's barely noticeable but once inside it's clean and cute. I was surprised by how clean it was and appreciated the effort to keep it that way. Ordering was easy and the woman behind the counter was friendly. The prices are fair and the food was YUMMY.

    Really nice and the place seems clean. Would definitely come back to order again. My food was good and hot and didn't seem old. All fresh. Loved the sauce for the sweet and sour chicken cause it wasn't so thick. I want to come to try the mei fun. One of my favorite dishes. For covid they only have it where only one person can be in at a time so that can be a little weird when other ppl are there getting their food.

    chicken corn soup - sorry, but not good. Slimy, snot consistency. Have never had this anywhere else, so not sure if this is the norm.

    As someone in Indianapolis who is quite particular about authentic Asian cuisine, I am absolutely…read moredelighted to have discovered this spot! Even with the springtime rush making the parking a bit of a challenge, the atmosphere inside is wonderfully inviting. I managed to snag a darling little corner for myself, and the energy was just perfect. The hospitality here is truly top-tier; both the cashier and the gentleman behind the counter are simply lovely. My waiter was beyond charming and presented a menu with an impressive array of sophisticated choices everything from Sichuan Beef Noodle Soup to Steamed Eggplant and Beef Pancakes, with most entrees beautifully priced between $15 and $20. I decided on the Beef Noodle Soup ($12), and oh my goodness it arrived in a mere ten minutes! Talk about impeccable service. The broth was divine, and the meatballs were prepared to perfection. I was so caught up in the moment that I completely forgot to snap a photo before finishing every last bite! It was an absolute triumph of a meal. I am officially obsessed and will most certainly be back with my camera ready next time

Comprised of some communal bench seats and one round table, to dine-in is baptismal. While you sit scanning the space, it's evident that English is held secondarily to the vast majority nearby. Places like these ignite my desire to persist in learning. Like a Pabst Blue Ribbon or roadside Waffle House, this experience isn't for everybody. Gifts of peace and low prices are the sweet reward of other's inability to enjoy the gritty side of life. Expect the same crew holding it down here, with the biggest of smiles radiating from the cashier. Somebody who can laugh at me declining chopsticks because "I know myself" is a magnetic honesty that keeps me coming back. She allows the customer to peruse this menu in silence and may kindly tack on some extra bites when you order late enough in the shift. Much love.

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.

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.
