    Fat Noodles Soked in soyS
    Dean T.

    Wow these reviews do not reflect the reality of the worst Chinese food in Indy. I keep checking on my dog after giving him this "one dog feast" Thankfully he is ok after consuming this stuff. He had Orange chicken that looked brown an tasted nasty like something soaked in soy sauce. Ordered plain lo mein like I have been getting since a child and the surprised me with nothing but soysauced soaked fat lo mein noodles?? No shreddd cabbage, no bits of shredded carrots no onions??? He had Yellow colored deep-fried crab rangoon tasted weird makes u wonder lio ??? Unfortunately this IS ANOTHER top 5 WORST Chinese Restaurants in the State of INDIANA:) These Yelping Patrons need to VISIT the #1 P**^^ Expressly....... now your getting closer to "FIVE stars"

    Pork egg roll (remote for size reference)
    Travis C.

    Finally back open! Not to be missed egg rolls! They are huge, they are tasty, and they are greasy! Whew! Big back style! We also got wings. Fried and delicious. And full size! Pork fried rides was great as was the chicken fried rice. I also got the general tso chicken. Not at all spicy (a bit of a letdown) but the flavor was good. Oh and when you order online and think "it won't take an hour for pickup".... It did on a Saturday night! So glad they're back open!

    Shrimp eggroll

    Best Chinese food in Indy! The eggrolls are epic. I was so sad when they had to close for renovations.

    It shouldn't exist, but it does. Everyone has their own opinions on the best American-Chinese place in their area. I know I have written reviews for my favorites. Foon Ying stands above all others in every single category. It won't be my personal go-to for the only reason being distance from my home -- 40 minutes round-trip. It's a gourmet experiences hiding behind counter service. The restaurant is renovated and very clean. The staff are busy every second you are there taking orders, which is a true sign of their quality. I ordered online, but you can call or order at the counter. I went at an odd hour and it was still slammed. The egg rolls make them famous, for good reason. These things are monsters and yet, light and delicate. The offerings are nothing out of what you expect, but it just taste better than anywhere else. The higher quality nature of each item is so apparent. I ordered the typical General Tso Chicken and they actually honored the "extra spicy" note by adding real peppers and chili oil, instead of just some sambal oelek (which I do like). I didn't want to wait for the car ride home so I ate it in the parking lot. The Crab Rangoon was the best I ever had. The Egg Roll made me cry and my main course was just...so much better. Nothing will beat my hometown favorite, but remove nostalgia and Foon Ying is the best in Indiana.

    Pork chow mien in the container, pork egg roll and crab rangoon

    The food was fresh and hot. Portions were plentiful with enough left over for a meal the next day. The crab Rangoon is light, crispy and the flavor is spot on. Now let's talk about that egg roll! I could eat one of them and call it lunch. It is so full of delicious filling with the crispy outside. Best egg roll I have had in my life.

    Large House Special Fried Rice, Shrimp Egg Rolls, Side of Yellow Gravy
    Oolah R.

    Been coming to Foon Ying since I was a kid. My parents always drove from the west side to the east side just for this restaurant. This is a traditional favorite for my family. I highly recommend the house special fried rice, shrimp egg rolls, chicken or shrimp egg foo young, fried chicken wings. And I highly recommend a side of yellow gravy for dipping your egg rolls and chicken wings. I also put the yellow gravy over my rice. I put that ish on everything lol...

    As you can see there is nothing in the fried rice. It's hard to tell from a photo but it was also extremely mushy.

    Ok - be prepared this is like a food court spot in an international grocery store…read more Great friendly staff. Multiple tables and expected communal seating when situation calls. We got the Sichuan beef noodle soup, braised eggplant, and the beef stuffed pancake. Soy milk comes in a plastic container but is unsweetened so that you can add at the table to your liking. They'll also heat it up for you. Also got the durian pastries to go.

    Dining as the sole Caucasian representative in any establishment is a sign of promise…read more One left turn through the sliding doors of Saraga Grocery and this pearl sits waiting. 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.

    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.

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.
