    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)

    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!

    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.

    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.

    I dont know what happened. This used to be my favourite take out spot. We just ordered food that tasted terrible, some of the worst food I have ever gotten from a restaurant. The fried rice, which used to be the best in the city, had no vegetables in it. It was a soggy, oily mush of rice. I ordered moo goo gai pan like I usually do. and the sauce tasted genuinely rancid. I do not like wasting food but it was truly inedible and I am concerned about it being spoiled or something. My husband ordered pork which was previously his favourite. It was tough, chewy and dry. The only thing that tasted somewhat normal was their jumbo egg rolls which still seemed more bland than usual. I am extremely upset about the waste of money and food. I cannot continue to recommend this restaurant after this terrible experience.

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

    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...

    I've been a fan. I've been eating at this restaurant since his first strip mall back in the early 70s.

    The fried rice is the barometer for if the food is going to slap. Confirmed. This is our new spot.

    Egg roll is awesome. Fried rice and egg foo Yung is definitely worth my drive from Grant county.

    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.
