Even with the springtime rush making the parking a bit of a challenge, the atmosphere inside is wonderfully inviting. I managed to snag a darling little corner for myself, and the energy was just perfect. The hospitality here is truly top-tier; both the cashier and the gentleman behind the counter are simply lovely. My waiter was beyond charming and presented a menu with an impressive array of sophisticated choices everything from Sichuan Beef Noodle Soup to Steamed Eggplant and Beef Pancakes, with most entrees beautifully priced between $15 and $20. I decided on the Beef Noodle Soup ($12), and oh my goodness it arrived in a mere ten minutes! Talk about impeccable service. The broth was divine, and the meatballs were prepared to perfection. I was so caught up in the moment that I completely forgot to snap a photo before finishing every last bite! It was an absolute triumph of a meal. I am officially obsessed and will most certainly be back with my camera ready next time

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.

The waiter kept my food in the back to keep it warm for me, what a wonderful surprise this was. The food was delicious, and plentiful. Our waiter was very attentive. He even brought out small plates for us, without having to ask for them, when cupcakes that we brought were being passed around. The ambiance is relaxing with pictures on the walls and great background music playing. The dining room area is small, however there is plenty of room for those dining in.

I ordered the cashew chicken dinner, while my husband ordered the pork egg foo young. Our meals came with fried rice, and mine included an egg roll as well. The wait for our food was quite long, but I understand why--they were busy, with customers lined up out the door. To make up for the wait, they generously brought around plates of crab Rangoon. The egg roll was excellent, and my husband said the egg foo young was the best he's ever had, which is quite the compliment since he orders it regularly. My cashew chicken was very good, and the fried rice was decent. I also noticed that many people were enjoying the pho; it looked amazing. You order at the counter, and they bring your food to you. However, it is very noisy, so if you prefer a quiet dining experience, this place may not be for you.

Some co-workers told me about this China King, and I have since fallen in love with it after my first visit. I ordered the Bean Curd, Szechuan-style dish that was LOADED with tofu and vegetables!

Can we also talk about the crab Rangoon and the fried calamari strips?? Listen the calamari strips was___ I don't even know what to say. Oh, freaking amazing is what comes to mind. Yes!

This was pretty consistent with our last time there.

One notable exception on the northwest edge of town is Tian Fu. It's in a residential area, in strip mall, with convenient parking. Tian Fu offers authentic Chinese and Japanese (sushi) food.

The food was great. We would return. Note: there is a similarly named restaurant on the eastern edge of Indy. Not sure if it's under the same ownership. It's on E Washington Street, just west of Rt 465.

Not a happy face anywhere. Our waiter arrived in about 20min to take drink orders. Food arrived, dish by dish, for the next 1.5 hours. The food was mostly OK. Basic items like silverware and napkins had to be obtained manually. Also to-go boxes. Last year, it was a three star. This year, two. We won't be back. Perhaps it's not a Larson cartoon (Crisis clinic on fire, about to go over some waterfalls), but it came close. The food as not bad; it was OK, nothing above average. I wish I could say better because my sister thinks it's fine.... until her meal arrived somewhat cold, ninety-minutes after we sat. It was mostly empty by the time we left; restaurants are a tough business, especially on Christmas. Will we be there next Christmas? Nope.

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.

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.
