You can't come to Bloomington and not take advantage of the many delicious ethnic restaurants. We chose Longfei from the Yelp reviews and weren't disappointed. Large portions, quick service. Highly recommend the Chinese-style Kung Pao, which is spicier than it's American counterpart. Would definitely consider coming back the next time we're in town. read more

Longfei - Chinese Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

I was here prior to COVID however I heard they are still open for business. If you are looking for REAL AUTHENTIC Chinese food, this is the place for you. Having authentic food from China, I've had a hard time finding anything relatively close here in the states but this place met all my expectations! They do have your typical Americanized Chinese food dishes as well, but if you want some delicious real and AUTHENTIC Chinese cuisine this is restaurant is a must!! We had the Mongolian Beef, Diced Chicken with Chili and Pepper and the jumbo peppered shrimp. Amazing! read more

Longfei used to be good. But as of the past few months it has gotten bad. We've gotten takeout of an assortment of dishes from the Chinese-American and Authentic Chinese menus. Everything was different from how it used to be. All was poorly made, tasteless or overly greasy. Wish it wasn't so. read more

We got the general Tso's chicken and vegetable lo mein. The chicken was very nice, but the sauce was a bit runny for our taste and could have had a bit more of a kick to it. The lo mein was actually fettuccine noodles?? Not sure lol. We will definitely be ordering off of the authentic Chinese portion of the menu next time. read more

I don't get to Bloomington often, but when I do, I always fit Longfei into the schedule. The cabbage with crab roe is a must. Anything from the griddle is delicious. The menu is animal protein heavy, and they are flexible about making dishes vegetarian upon request. The authentic Chinese menu has interesting alternatives to your average Chinese meal. I love this place and designated parking in front is an added bonus. read more

Absolutely some of the best Chinese food I've ever had and I'm from Manhattan. Great service! Bubble tea so out of this world. Can't wait to go back! read more

Fantastic fresh food, fast friendly and clean. We ordered orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and vegetable lo mein. read more

Longfei - Orange Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

It's just okay. I would even call it overpriced. It's definitely edible but I wouldn't choose it. Veggies are just alright, bubble tea is drinkable but not exciting read more

This is the most incredible Chinese food I've had since I left New York! The food is delicious it's fresh. It's incredible. It would be crazy to not have this Chinese food above any other here in Bloomington. read more

When I was a student, Longfei's location was formerly the Snow Lion, a Tibetan restaurant with familial connections to the Dalai Lama. Now it's a fairly authentic Chinese restaurant...I'll leave you to ponder that turn of events. Focusing on the present, we were pleasantly surprised that Longfei offered one of the more diverse Chinese menus in Bloomington. Our eyes lit up when we saw "Lamb with cumin" on the menu, our current favorite Chinese dish. The cumin lamb stir-fry had an excellent, complex savory flavor, with chunks of lamb, green pepper, onion, chiles, and a lot of cumin seed. The lamb pieces were more difficult to eat at Longfei, than the usual lamb shoulder we've seen in past cumin lamb recipes, since the bones were still attached. We also ordered standard steamed pork dumplings and a nicely flavored mapo tofu with pork. The menu also offered hot pot, spicy beef tendon, and various offal-based dishes, for those more adventurous eaters. For those with timid tastebuds, no worries...options like orange chicken and beef with broccoli were also present. The interior appeared updated from my college days, and our server was very friendly (and appeared to be the owner). We'd definitely keep Longfei in mind when visiting Bloomington again...especially for its stir-fried lamb with cumin. read more

Incredible food. I've never had authentic Chinese food before experiencing this place. The spice level and flavor variety on each dish is perfect. You never feel too "full". Staff is super friendly and felt very taken care of. read more

Very tasty Chinese Food and reasonably priced to boot. Won ton soup is also good. Not every dish has white meat however, so make sure you ask first. read more

Longfei - Chicken with Broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Best Chinese Food in town! Come here at least twice a week. Tried both American-Chinese food and Authentic-Chinese food, all great! Friendly servers, very nice owner loves to chat with every customers! Give your first time here! Trust me, you will come back for the secon read more

Super authentic Chinese food as well as Americanized Chinese food. When you sit down and there are (sorry to guess I am not trying to racist)Chinese people filling half the restaurant, it speaks to the authenticity. Maybe a little pricey, but you get a LOT of food, plus I'm a tight wad. My wife and I both took home enough for a full meal later. read more

Tried this place for dinner for the first time with a friend. Ordered the spicy fish filet pieces with tofu, winter melon stir fry with egg, beef pan fried buns, and green onion pancake. What's hot - Flavor. Awesome! Totally authentic. The fish filet with tofu dish had an awesome sauce. We ordered medium spicy, which was great. You feel the kick shortly afterwards and it's not overwhelming. There were chunks of garlic, which added to it. Their green onion pancake wasn't greasy. Just right. - Portions. They cater to a decent college crowd, who want good portions for their money. You get great size portions. Be prepared not to finish, unless you come with a large group. - Chinese menu. The mark of a good Chinese restaurant is when they have menu options written in Chinese. The owner was also helpful in talking us through some of these options, cuz they're new. - Service. The owner is from China and speaks some English. I bring this up so you know he can answer your questions if you don't speak Chinese. He was super friendly and helpful to me and my friend. He was nice and helpful to all customers. - Price. Some dishes cost more, but that's based on ingredients. For example, the seafood dishes may be around $15, but that's to be expected. The cost is not unreasonable. Portion size is also worth it. What's not - Location. It's tucked away on the side of the block. It's not noticeable right away, but it's you can still find it. Final answer Would definitely come back. Awesome food, decent prices, and great portions. read more

This place is a gem - the food is very authentic. We tried beef fried rice, braised pork belly and steam pork buns - they were all very tasty and authentic. The dining hall is very comfortable and clean. Service is very attentive. Will definitely come back. read more

Poor customer service went to dine in and was told any food order would take over an hour because the whole staff working on a large order.

A great meal and friendly family that owns/operates this establishment! The food was great! Thanks for a great meal, and it was just as good the next day with huge portions! read more

Passing through while on a work trip and decided to try this place based on the Yelp pictures. So glad we did! The service was quick and friendly. Food portions were generous and every dish was delicious. Will be back if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Overpriced for being so mediocre. Mongolian beef was bland, sesame chicken too sweet, more like sweet and sour. Egg rolls disgusting filling. I hope the authentic side of the menu is better than the Chinese American. It was disappointing. read more

Food is super tasty! Tastes fresh and homemade. Service is amazing! Atmosphere super chill and friendly! Great place to come with your friends. I highly recommend getting homemade pork steamed dumplings, steamed Chinese pork buns, Chinese pancake, sautéed sliced beef with rice cake, and brown sauce beef noodle soup. I love coming here with my best friend every week! Make sure you come check this place out. read more

Longfei - Hot and sour soup, and beef with mixed vegetables. - Chinese Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Very disappointing delivery experience and unremarkable food. An order through Btownmenus took 90 min. Seventy minutes of that was from the time the restaurant supposedly received the order until the time the driver left with it. The sesame chicken was mediocre and didn't have enough sauce. The shrimp in the lo mein were puny and not very plentiful. Wouldn't order again. read more

Very hospitable. Authentic Asian cuisine. Delicious: jasmine tea, hot and sour soup, lo mein, curried chicken, braised short ribs, friend dumpling buns, and fried dumpling potstickers. Everything we ordered was authentic style and superb!! read more

This is the best Chinese in Bloomington by FAR! Go in instead of take out because the ambiance is great. The sesame chicken, Mongolian beef, and fried rice were all my favorites when I went here. I am Chinese and I think it's DELISH! read more

Authentic Chinese food that is just delicious. Ordered multiple different dishes and have thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. And the fried rice is so good here. read more

Ordered pork lomein, pork fried rice, chicken and broccoli, general tso chicken, egg rolls and egg drop soup. The chicken dishes were pretty good, the egg rolls were smaller then my index finger, short and very small not like any egg rolls I have ever seen. The pork lomein was not anywhere close to pork or lomein, it was some chicken with some flat noodles, the pork fried rice was chicken fried rice, first time trying this restaurant, and our last. read more

Delicious American Chinese and traditional Chinese food. Some of my favorites are the steamed pork dumplings, cucumber with garlic sauce, and Sichuan style kung pao chicken. read more

I got delivery for crab Rangoon's and the orange chicken and it was terrible. By far the worst Chinese take out I have ever received. It took over an hour and a half to receive my food and it was cold and soggy. It was such a waste of $25 and ended up in the trash. read more

Went here for lunch the other day. The appetizers were very good. Dumplings, egg rolls, crab rangoons were excellent. The entrees were not very flavorful. We ordered both off of the American-Chinese menu and traditional menu. Nothing was as good as we hoped. Great option for dim sum type of meal, but I would not return for their entrees. read more

Excellent food, excellent service! Everything is great. My table had the Chinese pancakes, wonton soup and fried rice last night! read more

Really good restaurant! You gotta try fried sweet corn with salted egg! It is amazing!

An excellent meal and Longfei. We went for a quick lunch and ordered the schezuan beef, Lo mein, and the dumplings. All were excellent. Make sure to order from the authentic Chinese side of the menu (not American Chinese). Will return. read more

Hands down best Chinese place in town. It tastes upscale without being super expensive. The staff and owner is great and attentive.

Definitely the best authentic Chinese restaurant in town!!! Try it and you won't regret.

Honestly the worst dining experience I've ever had. My first impression was an employee walking out of the kitchen while scratching his butt. My order was 45 minutes late from the expected time it would be done, and when I came to pick it up an employee laughed at me for complaining. When I picked it up I was told I was getting a 10% discount for my troubles, however I did not receive a discount. To further the disappointment, after getting my order, the order was wrong. In conclusion, would highly not recommend. read more
