    Beef and tripe in chili oil
    Shih C.

    My family ordered from Tian Bistro for a weekend dinner. We had shredded pork in Yu Shiang chili sauce, stir-fried pork intestine with pickled cabbage, beef and tripe in chili oil, and Mongolian beef (not pictured). All dishes were full of flavor and delicious. Ordering over the phone was swift. The lady accommodated my mother's requests in Chinese, which was always a plus. Our order was ready when we picked it up. I highly recommend Tian Bistro if you're in the area.

    Pickled string beans and mince pork

    Came on a weekend it was packed and pre-ordered Peking duck ahead of time. It was juicy and the skin was crispy. The skin dipped in the sugar they provided was delicious. The chairs were spaciously placed, I have noticed they were celebrating people's birthdays, they played a song for the birthday person which I think it adds to a special touch. Very good service special shout out to our waiter, Remy, very courteous and knowledgeable. As far as parking there is meter street parking is free on Sundays however it is a commodity. Would definitely come back and try other things from the Menu.

    Hot sour soup
    Frank T.

    Wife and me came for Beijing duck. We ordered a half and hot sour soup and cucumber appetizer. The H&S soup came out quickly. It was lukewarm warm and passable. Missing some of the traditional items like lily buds and black mushrooms. The cucumber salad was decent. I missed the chili oil. Duck broth arrived then The duck arrived carved up. Lots of scallion cucumber hoisin sauce garlic paste. The duck was also lukewarm. Crispy skin and nice tender meat.

    Happy kid

    We have been looking for a great Chinese restaurant in Evanston and now we have its. The hunan beef was to die for . I said out loud, "you can taste legit orange" in the orange chicken. Spice was just right!! Also, my mom, whose go-to is always Kung Pao Shrimp for a new restaurant is happy to say this one wasn't overloaded with a green pepper tsunami!

    Pecking duck
    Karen T.

    One of the best pecking duck in Chicago! The skin was very crispy. The duck soup was flavorful! Totally recommend checking it out! The full duck was almost too much food for 3 people, maybe best for 4.

    Beijing Duck

    Really good and authentic Beijing Duck, and 狮子头melt in your mouth, really delicious! I've heard that the food quality wasn't ideal when the restaurant first opened, likely due to how busy it was. However, by late December 2025, the menu had expanded a lot, and the roasted duck was freshly made and delicious. The head chef was very friendly as well. The bar section hasn't opened yet.

    Decent food, service not so much. Wanted to try something different for my lunch break so I went to…read morethis location. It was raining and chilly outside so I decided on something soup based and got myself a bowl of rice noodle soup with fatty beef for my protein. For an appetizer, I got the pork belly with garlic sauce. I really liked this because the pork was thinly sliced and the sauce was rich and flavorful. The rice noodle soup was spicy and hot and the serving was plentiful, so I took the rest to go. As for the service, I was the only one in the restaurant and the server was standoffish and was on his phone most of the time. No big deal but I was really peeved when I said I wanted the rest of my noodle soup to go and he just gave a container and a plastic bag. I usually didn't mind packing my own to go but in this instance, the bowl was bulky and I wasn't sure how I was going to transfer the soup without spilling. I wish the server was a little more thoughtful and offered to help but nope, he just went back to his phone. It would be better to just order take out from this place because the dine in experience was underwhelming.

Great for everyone- families, couples etc. The service is good - everyone works hard there. Dinner time is busy and they do close at 9pm so you need to be seated by 8pm. These are our favorite dishes there: *Chongqing Popcorn Chicken (it's addictive!) *Eggplant with garlic sauce *Peking Duck Highly recommend this great local spot!!

There was a live saxophone player and I loved the live flowers they had. Our waiter was extremely nice and took the time to explain the menu as well as their customer favorites. I order a Thai iced tea which wasn't bad but I prefer mine a little thicker and sweeter. It came in a thin tall glass which in theory was not a lot of drink. To start we order the chicken appetizer and fried beef on rice to share and unfortunately I did not snap a pic but these were listed under apps or shareables but the portions were extremely small. As our mains came I noticed that they were also small and each were around $20-$30 per plate. Not a bad thing if you don't eat much but I'm a big bang for buck type of gal. My family came to share and this place is a more fine dining thai restaurant which could explain the smaller portions. We ordered the pad Thai which was alright in my opinion I expected a little more flavor, the aubergine which was tossed vegetables as recommended by our waiter which was also ok not much flavor but beautiful plating though, and the coconut curry which was by far my favorite. If I were to come back here I would order that again, it was a nice light yet complex flavor profile which made me savor every bite. Overall good place for an upbeat fancier meal and I highly recommend the coconut curry braised chicken if you visit. Little pricey but that's just my opinion let me know what you guys think if you visit! Oh and they also give your receipt in a boat which they spin and leave a thank you card once you paid which was really cute.
