My new favorite schezwan restaurant. Foods are great. You order on web thru QR code on table. Chicken dish I ordered had bunch of dried chilli peppers and fried chili in bone. I have tried this with lamb before which is my favorite but loved it with chicken also! Pork intestine dish was good too. Other person in out table also ordered some spicy mala flavor fish dish it was huge in portion and hot! It really numbs too. Flavor was great but I am not a huge fan of freshwater fish, so fish itself was alright to me. I hear this location is better than Bellevue one. I would visit again! read more

Solid spot for authentic Szechuan Chinese food. If you like spicy, then definitely check out this restaurant. I got the house special, which is over $40 but probably enough to feed 3-4 people. I shared it with one friend and we brought the rest home. There's plenty of parking across the street. The service was fast and friendly. Would come again! read more

Had take out from them. The food was prepped and delivered quickly. This is the place I get take out when I crave spicy Sichuan dishes. The dry pot comes with decent portion to last for a few meals. The spices are fragrant, and the flavor is authentic. It goes well with the shrimp fried rice. The caveat is that the dish could be addicting, and the spicy oily combo may not be friendly to your gut if you eat a lot of it ;) read more

Overall it was really good, we went for dinner and we were instantly seated. You order through a menu but a person comes and confirms your order and the food is served pretty fast. Everything was really tasty! Would go back and try more dishes! read more

Delicious food and great service. Lovely slab tables and dark furniture. Inviting, warm, with generous portions.

If you love spicy Szechuan, this is the place for you. The dishes were drenched w chili and oil. Although tasty, they were too soupy for me. Service was great, you order thru a QR code. The boba drink was delish. Tea costs extra, which for a New Yorker, I found odd. read more

Surprisingly delicious! So many large parties and families gathered here for hearty CNY meal and for a good reason. I can't tolerate much spice but was still able to enjoy most of the dishes. The full shrimp is an absolute must but it is very spicy! Drinks and desserts are just ok. Their ordering system is A+. You can do everything on mobile, including asking for extra dishware, and they deliver it to you within seconds. read more

The absolute worst! Huge chunks of garlic in the fungus salad -- not diced pieces, but thick slices. The beef and broccoli were just plain gross! Slimy, chewy and bits of bone. The hot and sour soup was congealed salt! All this for $65+ and no rice. Rice isn't even in the take out menu to order! read more

I love this place when I'm craving for something spicy. They have huge portions as well which makes it all the better. I love places that I can have leftovers and turn it into another meal in the future. I feel like you can't get anything bad here. But I would definitely recommend trying the spicy fish dish or the sauerkraut fish. They can feed like two people and pair well with a side of rice. That is my go to order when I come here. Their service is also pretty fast or pretty normal since some dishes do take a bit to cook. read more

A go to spot for authentic Chinese food! Highly recommend every soup on their menu (especially the pig trotter soup). Every dish on their menu that I've tried in my numerous trips here has been amazing (recommend salted egg yolk green beans and the house cured pork!) Their desserts also never miss (recommend the osmanthus blossom raindrop jelly!). Their service is always very friendly and service is very efficient with QR code ordering and the servers confirming your order. They also have a very spacious restaurant with very cool chairs. read more

Decent Chinese restaurant with spacious sitting area. Staffs were helpful, food was served pretty fast for lunch time. We ordered Spicy beef noodles and braised pork with rice. I prefer the rice more though. Noodle portion was shareable just slightly salty. Maybe I'll try something else beside noodle next time. read more

Overall a yummy place to go if you're craving Szechuan food! Most of the dishes we ordered had a slight kick to it but it was a pleasant kind of spice. It lingered in the mouth and had me reaching for the water but didn't churn my stomach like certain spicy foods. We ordered the pork belly hot & spicy dry pot, cumin lamb stir fry, string beans, fried rice, fish with tofu in peppercorn broth among other things. Personally I wasn't a fan of the dry pot. It was a little dry, as maybe the name implied, and a bit salty. It wasn't bad but I preferred the cumin lamb to it which was flavorful and tender. The fried rice was not too salty and was good to balance out the strong flavors of the entrees we ordered. I really enjoyed the fish in broth. The fish was flaky and soft and the broth was rich. We went on a Wednesday afternoon and there weren't too many people in the restaurant. It was relatively quiet and the service was good. read more

Best Sichuan food in Seattle area. My parents (immigrants from China) said it's the most authentic Sichuanese food they've had in the US so that's how you know it's good! I haven't had a dish here that isn't great. Even their tomato and braised beef dish is amazing even though it's not spicy! I'll also say that the Northgate location is better than the Bellevue one. read more

Pretty decent Sichuan place. Food was great. Had the spicy chicken with red peppers and a soup. I'd go again.

If you want authentic Sichuan food, this is your spot. Spice levels can be very high. Prepare a ton of rice to supplement with. We snagged two takeout items and made rice. I'm heating up typing and remembering it. Hot & Spicy Dry Pot - we got this with frog legs. I'm not a fan of all the bones and minimal meat, but it's a classic. Frog tastes very much like chicken, and legs are comparable to wings. Extremely spicy, the dryness of the stir fry style doesn't help either! Braised Beef with Tofu - while relatively basic, the beef was very tender alongside an obviously fluffy tofu to be a light and easy pairing with anything. Two soft items that melt in one's mouth, paired with rice for additional texture, seems like a nice comfort food. Spicy but bearable. read more

First time trying this location - just as good as the Bellevue one! We ordered a bunch of takeout for CNY. - house cured pork belly fried rice: has that fresh wok taste you can only get in a restaurant 5/5 - salted egg string beans: 5/5 - hot and spicy beef and tofu: tender beef and soft tofu, really spicy so just beware if you can't handle. 4.5/5 - hot and spicy spare ribs: as described and delicious 4/5 - fish fillet in rattan peppers with sour broth: super tender fish and comes with rice noodles, which soak up the broth nicely. Order this if you like numbing spice 5/5 - vegetable delight: as described 3.5/5 - country stir fry pork belly: didn't expect this one to be spicy. Pork belly was good but the rest is just pepper so was hard to eat! 3/5 only because there were soooo many peppers! read more

FOOD SAFETY ISSUE found a piece metal in my dishes ordered from tian fu. this was inside my spicy beef with cilantro dish. I ordered this through uber eats and there was never a response from the restaurant nor uber eats. I actually bit into this and cut inside of my mouth. There were no refunds or any actions taken. Very disappointed. read more

Tian Fu - Piece of metal found in my take out - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've come here a few times on and off since they first opened and recently I've been less impressed with the flavors. My best description is it's a decent impersonation of authentic Sichuan food: it's got good texture and appearance and is almost there but it's just missing some punch across the board. My favorite thing here used to be the rattan pepper fish. When I ordered it this time it was pretty bland. It had all the right ingredients, the fish had a nice texture, and the portion was generous, but it just tasted...plain. It was short on ginger, garlic, salt, peppers, basically everything that makes this dish tick. I was straight up drinking the broth and eating the peppers and ginger pieces to try to squeeze more flavor out of the dish and that still wasn't enough. It seemed like they skipped a really basic step (frying the peppers in oil to release the numbing spice) because the spice profile just wasn't there. The lamb soup was also a disappointment. For 43 dollars I was expecting at least what was shown on the menu: bone broth with bone in goat meat falling off the bone and leaking marrow like I've had in my hometown. The meat was just slices of rubbery supermarket lamb, and because there is no bone in meat in this thing I can't rule out the possibility of this being made with hot pot mix. For the asking price this dish is straight up bad and not professionally presented. It's possible they've tuned back their flavors to satisfy a more Americanized audience. If that's your kind of thing then this is a manageable introduction to sichuan food, but they hold so much back in terms of kick and flavor it just does not feel like a satisfying experience to me. read more

Tian Fu - Fish Fillet with Rattan Peppers - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My friend wanted some spicy food and so they took us here to try. This is my first time being here but it was pretty good. Parking is available so that is a bonus. We got the following: Toothpick lamb with cilantro: the lamb could be more tender but it was good. It's dry style so the spice isn't as strong. Flavor is good though Country style pork belly with pepper: the green stuff is not beans or any veggies, it's actual pepper (spicy kind). The pork belly was tender and good. This one is for those who like spicy food (like me). Eggplant dish -- this is my favorite, it goes really well with rice and super flavorful Tofu with fish --- the tofu and fish was cooked really well, both were soft and the mala numbing spice wasn't as strong. Definitely get some rice because it goes well with the dishes. Price is a little high in my opinion but I can't really tell anymore with all the inflation happening... Service was good though, food came out quickly, they check on us here and there as well. read more

There is so much potential in this restaurant but unfortunately the food is not as good as I expected. The place is spacious and I really like the Chinese style interior. The service is decent and they never pressured up to leave even as it gets crowded. The food portions are very good as you get a lot for each dish. I just wish the food taste better. I ordered some typical Sichuan food such as the dry lot frog but somehow the food is just missing some necessary magic to taste right. I think the restaurant is missing some authentic Sichuan spices so the food just tastes bland. The frog dry pot has decent pieces of frogs but the breading is too much on the frogs and I think the frogs should have been fresh instead of frozen. The pork pieces are cut out a little too big to bring out the right flavor. The veggies are also cut too large. Overall it's an alright restaurant and worth going if you are in Seattle area but if you've had better Sichuan food before it's not worth coming here specifically. read more

I came here to send my friend off after college graduation. Man, this place was pretty interesting. I love the chairs here.. Service was really good, but the food was extremely spicy.

Tian Fu - Sichuan Eggplant, Pork Intestines on Hot Griddle - Chinese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place was popping even on a Wednesday night. You know when all the Asians are there, it means it's legit!! I went with my bf for date night so we decided not to order the whole fish entrees. We definitely want to come back with more people next time to order that because it seemed like THE thing to get. Twice cooked pork- 2/5 I was very let down by this. I never had such overcooked pork before... AND it was cold. Seemed like it had just been left sitting out for a while. Intestines- 5/5 favorite dish out of the three! Came out sizzling, super flavorful, delicious! Fish fillet- 3/5 had great potential but because it was not served in a metal pot and kept warm, the flavor didn't seem to be fully there in the fish. Next time we are coming back for the whole fish!! Stay tuned. read more

I've had Tian fu two times take out and one time dine in. Takeout is fine and all, but make sure you allocate enough time during peak hours so you don't wait too long. If you're willing to dine in, definitely go for it. The portions compared to take out are much better. Definitely get the la zi ji (辣子雞）spicy fried chicken ? Bone in or bone out are both awesome Twice cooked pork is delicious Spicy intestines are good. Basically as long as you can handle the spice, you can handle the price I've never been disappointed eating here. Real solid spicy cuisine read more

This is based on their broken waitlist system and terrible service I received. I rarely give one-star review, but I've been having two similar bad experiences in a row. Review it is. I'll give a rundown of one of the experiences: We arrived at the restaurant around 6:45 PM, and the place was packed. We placed our name (Wen) on the waitlist and didn't want to crowd the space further--we decided to walk around Target nearby until we get the text notification. 7:45 PM. We never got a single text. The waitlist showed that there are still 3 parties ahead. We decided to head back to the restaurant anyway. There were at least 10 tables open. We were still #4 on the waitlist. Two more parties came in and placed their names on the waitlist. They were given a table immediately. And we FINALLY figured out that they skipped us while we wandering in Target without us knowing. I don't want to write 1-star reviews, so I wanted to have a conversation with the staff in person. They ignored us and no further action was taken. This is not the first time that they misused the waitlist system. I don't understand why we were penalized for being empathetic to the situation--we didn't overcrowd the waiting area, we arrived a little earlier to make sure the customer flow is efficient, and we even communicated with our concerns before writing this review. And this place failed us, twice. (Reading from the previous responses from management... they seem to need proof to take any reviews seriously. So I'm attaching the proof for your convenience.) read more

Conveniently located close to Northgate Mall getting there is is easy enough to get there via Lightrail, bus or car. If you're looking for Southern Chinese/Canton style food, you'll have to look else where. But if your looking for Sichuan with the strong flavours and spice then you've come to the right place. They have a large touch screen waitlist for you to put your name and party down. Once you're seated, you scan the QR code on the table and start ordering! Us, being a party of 5 we ordered: - Cured Pork sauteed with King Oyster Mushroom $15.99 - Tea-Smoked Duck (half) $18.99 - One Bite Lamb Skewers $18.99 - Bean Curd with Salted Egg Yolk $16.99 - Yummy Pork Spareribs $18.99 - Five Spiced Beef $10.99 - Potstickers $6.99 - Cumin Curried Chicken and Potato (half) $18.99 - Rice bowl $1.49 x5 Not everything we ordered was spicy. So if spicy is a factor order the Bean Curd with Salted Egg Yolk or the duck. Everything was flavourful and delicious! Sharing dishes is a must and so is getting some rice. They also had some really great tea drink. Was it a lot of food? Yes. Did we have lots of left over? Yes. But its not a terrible thing. read more

This is probably my favorite Chinese restaurant in Washington! Everything I've had so far has been sooo good! When I first entered the restaurant, I got so hungry from the smell of the food. Please note that this is not a Cantonese style restaurant. This restaurant serves Sichuan peppercorns, which is Chinese numbing spice in which the lips and tongue feel as though they are vibrating and go vaguely numb. - 藤椒鱼片 Fish Fillets with Rattan Peppers : So flavorful and so good. This dish is best eaten with white rice. I like to take the broth home and add it to veggies. - 重庆辣子鸡 Chongqing Chicken with Chili Pepper : So flavorful and so good. I like to take the chilis home and add it to veggies. - 金沙豆腐 Bean Curd w/ Salted Egg Yolk : Salted egg yolk on anything taste better! This dish is best eaten with white rice. - 金沙四季豆 String Beans Sautéed with Salted Egg Yolk : Salted egg yolk on anything taste better! - 千里香排骨 Yummy Pork Spareribs : YUMMY! - 芒果椰汁西米露 Mango Coconut Tapioca Pudding : Great ending to a spicy dinner.

Mid size Chinese restaurant. It's located in the complex with the Target and Best Buy, just north of Northgate Mall. Went there for lunch on a Saturday. There were a decent amount of people, but we didn't have to wait for a table for two. They are known for Sichuan cuisine, but the menu is pretty big and seem to have a bit of other Chinese cuisines. We got the fried mantou (steamed buns) with condensed milk for starters. Fried mantou is one of my favorite dishes from childhood, and theirs was alright. Wished the mantou was a little bigger, but it was still reasonably crispy and well-fried on the outside. For dishes, we got the salted egg yolk stir fry green beans, which was delicious. The saltiness of the egg yolk goes well with the succulent green beans. We also got the dry pot with chopped pork ribs. The dry pot also had plenty of green beans, and a decent amount of meat. We asked for low spice, so it wasn't overly spicy. The flavor was good, but dish was a bit salty. Needed to eat this with rice to even it out. Overall, food was decent. We finished everything except the beans in the dry pot. Total was $70 including tax and tip. read more
