    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.

    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.

    Excellent value. Food is delicious, especially enjoyed their soups. The spicy shrimp soup, chicken…read morenoodle soup, and egg drop with wontons... all delicious and well priced. Good carry out packaging as well.

    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.
