We were greeted by the waitress and quickly got our appetizer of Shrimp Salad rolls, which were so fresh and delicious. We ordered Shrimp Curry, Papaya Salad and a Chicken Noodle dish. All came out perfect, hot and quickly. Nothing was bad. If you haven't been, I would highly recommend doing so.

This place is amazing! We got lucky and arrived right before the dinner rush but there was…read moredefinitely a respectable line going out the door. There was one worker going back and forth between taking orders and serving. Another was preparing the orders in the back. Still, they paid attention to all customers and were quick with bringing out orders. I enjoyed being able to customize my dish, but they had premade options if you prefer. The food was very much worth the wait! As a visitor from California, I felt like Tian Fu outperformed my expectations by miles, and I can confidently say this was one of the best hotpot places I've ever been to.

But we are always up to try a different Thai restaurant. See photos. The vegetables were fresh. The Pad Thai noodles had good flavor. We are use to this dish not being as saucy. The Tom Kha soup was rich. The green curry had a great flavor. Even if you don't like eggplant or zucchini, the pieces are big enough to pick out like I did. No free refills on drinks. A pot of tea will refill the cup 3 times. The establishment is really clean, and the service is fast. This is a good second if one is in the area. We still have our favorite in Salem.

Driving through town and stopped here for lunch. Came in right at noon. Please was not super…read morecrowded. About half the tables were seated. Took a couple of minutes for someone to notice me and seat me. It took probably another 20 mins before someone came to take my order. The waiting staff seem a little overwhelmed. But my waiter was nice to answer all my questions and make recommendations. I tried the spicy wonton and the Taiwan Beef noodle soup. The spicy wonton was underwhelming. I specifically asked for no cilantro, and as you can see in the photo, it's covered in cilantro. The sauce was heavy on soy sauce and light on spice. Wontons were ok. At this point I was quite unhappy. Fortunately The beef noodle soup came very quickly and is very flavorful. Probably the redeeming point of the whole meal. The meat was hearty and well cooked. The soup is well balanced. Definitely recommend. So - please add a few more staff members during lunch. I don't think normal folks have that much time to wait during lunch hour.

It was chinese food…read more The wait staff weren't overly friendly, but were pretty available for drink refills. I'm not really sure what style of decor they're going for. Inside it's sort of....fake Asian restaurant? Like, it seems to be Chinese food but not from a Chinese Restaurant, except kinda? I don't know. Not that it matters, I just am hard pressed to describe it. The food itself was alright. I had sweet and sour chicken, and my kids had General Tso's. They all came with white rice. It was okay. I mean....it was okay. I wish I could say something more about it. We ate. We got full. We left. We paid 70 bucks, roughly. (for four meals, their friend got an entree but he didn't tell me what he thought about it so I'm not putting his in here). I don't really see going back. But if we wanted Chinese food and were in the area, it's significantly better than Great Wall Buffet. Parking lot is...awkward and cramped. Not very well designed.

The pot stickers were hearty...almost enough to be a meal on their own. Definitely the best we've found in town. We ordered the Mongolian Beef (great taste, but could definitely be spicier) and the House Special Lo Mein (awesome flavor, but a smidge too much oil and salt). Will definitely visit again sometime. Update: The online ordering for this restaurant is terrible. After a full [exact] 60min after ordering, I called the restaurant for an update. The woman on the phone let us know it would be another 30min, although I heard the woman she asked in the background say it would be AT LEAST another 30-45 more minutes. The restaurant should be responsible enough to TELL their customers if the food is going to be a TWO HOUR wait and call to give the option to cancel. Update 2: Loved the place enough the first time to give it another shot. Called beforehand to make sure they weren't too busy for a carry-out. Ordered food, picked it up, and got home to find it wasn't what I ordered. Guess it's just bad luck with this place. :(

Five Stars -- A Must‑Try in Downtown Salem!…read more My wife and I stopped by Akai Ramen yesterday, and this spot absolutely delivered. We ordered the shrimp fried rice, hot gemai tea, cucumbers, fresh salad, and the seafood ramen -- every single dish came out flavorful, balanced, and clearly made with care. The portions were generous, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality. The service was immaculate from start to finish. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming -- the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back before you've even left. The decor is clean and modern with plenty of seating, creating a relaxed atmosphere perfect for a date, a family meal, or a quick bite. Yes, you do have to pay for parking in downtown Salem, but once you're inside, the food, the vibe, and the service make it more than worth it. If you're anywhere near Salem, I highly recommend stopping by. Akai Ramen is doing everything right -- great food, great people, great experience. Five stars all day.

After moving east from 97302 to 97317, we needed to find a new favorite Chinese food restaurant…read more We had loved Hong Kong House, then they were taken over by Chen's. We loved the food, and decided to try the original. We had some trouble trying to figure out how to get to their parking lot, but we were sure glad we did! We were greeted warmly and seated in a cozy booth. The minimalist decor and soothing music was wonderful. We had a generous and delicious cup of soup first. Egg Flower for my husband, and Hot and Sour for me. They were both flavorful and hot. Next we had pot stickers, pan-fried, of course. The texture was perfect. Brown and crisp on the sides, and soft and chewy everywhere else. The filling was tasty, too. Our main dish was Sesame Beef, one of our favorites. They typically stir fry it here, but we asked for the traditional deep-fried version. We weren't disappointed. The dish was absolutely delicious! We had enough leftover for another meal for the two of us. We will definitely be back!
