Still one of the better buffet options i been to between Delaware and Mount Vernon. First let's talk price. In "current year" of this review, for lunch you'll looking at $11. That's on par if not cheaper than a growing amount of fast food options out there. Now quality? Okay, some options can be better. I find the lao mein noodles a bit bland, the cantaloupe is a bit off, and the water has a bit of a plastic taste (though blame there goes to DelCo water, send your complaints that way). Otherwise, the choices are great and varied. I recommend trying the teriyaki chicken, it's probably different from what you tried before. Service, they're polite but few. Don't rush 'em. Be kind. I can say, years and years ago, they did had one person who overcharged for tip. Keyword: had. Why do i bring this up? I didn't want to make this seem too glowing of a review but its been at least seven years since then. No worries, they're good people. Last thing this app is asking for is ambiance. I think if you went to one chinese place then they all look the same. It's nice, clean, a bit dark but still adequately lighted. So yeah, good food, good staff, good price. read more

Chinese buffet, but the best around. You know what Chinese buffet is, and this is a good one. The Mexicans cooking in the back have got the process down. It's our go- to on China buffet night read more

4 of us stopped in on a Saturday evening. Every bit of food that should have hot was cold. The selection was good but couldn't find anything over barely tepid in temperature. To top that off the service was the worst that we have ever had anywhere. The place was not busy and that should have been our first warning. The waitress was rarely seen so we eventually had to move our dirty plates to another dirty table. This was our first visit and our last. read more

we walked in expecting a fun birthday buffet for our friend. Many of us were excited for the dessert bar, which was satisfactory. they had a nice variety of food and desserts, with American options along with Chinese. The meat was not super flavorful and the steak pieces were tough, but the soup was not bad. Over the course of the meal, many people had tried the sushi, which they did not enjoy- to say the least. When I tried it, it was warm and had little flavor, and it made me nauseous. The sushi issue culminated when our friend ate a piece of sushi and THREW UP on his plate. He had eaten a piece of the sushi with cream cheese in it. He said that the fish in the sushi tasted like metal and it was warm and the cream cheese was solid. I would not eat here again, but at least we were able to trauma bond over it. read more

Was dead quiet and it felt like they weren't too happy that I came in shortly after the opened. Nothing was ready. It was oddly quiet and then random tvs playing sports and game shows and the news on. They didn't really check on me much. Most the food was mush and wasn't a consistent temperature with food. Desserts looked like half of them were a couple days old and were just continuing to be reserved. Sushi was not good. Definitely don't want to go back read more

I have been wanting to have lunch here for a while and did so last week. For the price, the quality of the food was fair. However, EVERYTHING read more

While I have seen several mixed reviews on this place it is our go to Chinese Buffet. This buffet has everything including a made to order grill included. The service is very attentive and good price. read more

I'm shocked that this place doesn't have a higher Yelp rating. For the price their food is excellent and their service is top notch. Several people in my family frequent the buffet and/or do take-out. They have lots of the typical favorites to choose from on the buffet/menu and everything is kept pretty fresh considering it's a buffet. They're always attentive with keep drinks refreshed and always very friendly when we pick up take out. I love this place!! read more

Probably one of the better buffets I've been to In the surrounding Columbus area. I came in pretty close to closing but they still have the buffet stocked up . There's an entire sushi section. If you're in the Delaware area definitely check this spot out. You'll leave full! Plenty of "American food " options too in case the kiddos aren't into the Chinese food. read more

To me Chinese Buffett's are all the same. This place is close to my house, so when I feel lazy and don't want to cook it's an easy drive. The cashier and waitresses are always very nice and attentive once you're seated. The quality and taste of the food has always been good. I really like their Mongolian barbecue and sushi. read more

Tian Fu - Sushi, coconut shrimp, sautéed green beans, seafood mix, spring roll, pot stickers and spicy chicken - Chinese Near Me - Delaware, Ohio

It's been a very long time since I've been to a buffet restaurant. I must say that the diversity of the food at this place was very very impressive. They have something to offer for any craving. Also - the price is very very reasonable. (4 orders of unlimited buffet during lunch and 3 soft drinks rounded up with tax to $52. Pineapple rice - not impressed. Tried it and other than it was sweet, didn't feel anything special. I loved their ice cream - chocolate and mango ice creams are the best - we went for 3 servings on each. Sushi is good, can't say that it's super tasty but for the price we paid, I think it was very reasonable AND all sides (ginger, wasabi were offered too). From entrees - general Tso tastes great. Do NOT go for any beef options (taste wasn't nice at all), but fish (tilapia) was delicious! We didn't try soups or fried items section. From dessert/fruit table - I wouldn't advise any brownie type cakes as they all were dry, but the fruits and ice cream are great. We will go back. read more

Very average buffet items, seems to be their price is too high does their food, will not visit again.

Terrible. Low end Chinese at its finest. Will not return. I'm a big fan of Asian of all kinds. This is really miserable food at any price point. Does not have a clean feel to the place. Seat cushions torn up and uncomfortable. Avoid. read more

While I have not tried the buffet, I have ordered takeout and the food is made to order. It is not greasy and the portions are hearty. I will usually have dinner leftovers for lunch the next day so there is a value to the meal. read more

This is a pretty decent buffet, and I'd almost give it 4 stars but for the dining experience. Negatives rights up front: Tables are very close together, and with noisy kids and lots of other people, I just wanted to eat and get out. The kids are the parents' fault, but still, it took away from the experience, and maybe don't seat people that close together? Still, I would go back, and I enjoyed the food. The place is clean, and comfortable, and has a good variety of items on the buffet. Standards, but also things I'd never seen before, all of them well-made. Lots of sushi. Lots and lots, and looking and tasting much better than standard buffet sushi. The entrees were tasty and high-quality. Meat was tender and flavorful, veggies were fresh and abundant. Service was good- minimal buffet style, but good. Handy, in the plaza just down from Meijer. Price was good. read more

I ate there Monday evening around 830pm. The atmosphere just felt wrong. Food was just ok. The soups were low and stayed low. The crayfish were so overcooked that they were impossible to eat. The pineapple dessert (3 left) was empty and never replaced the whole time. They just left them sitting there, empty. The staff were present and bussed our table as we ate. However, our waitress has a permanent scoul on her face. Then at the end, 930 or so, we paid cash and that waitress just stood there waiting for us to get up and LEAVE!!! For this reason, no tip was left (right in front of her). She made us feel very uncomfortable. We weren't dilly-dallying either. We were there to eat and leave, but the waitress seemed angry. We each went up about 2-3 times which is normal. Still we left at 930pm, not 5 minutes before closing. Yes, we'll go back, but earlier, when the staff is happier and not stressed out from a long day. read more

It's okay. There was an amazing Pineapple sticky rice on the buffet and the sauce options for a hibachi were good. Pretty standard.

Around 3/3:30 pm on a Friday, we know buffet style Chinese restaurants are between lunch and dinner service, not an issue with me at all except from my varied selections some bites were warm while others were cold. Aside from the temperature variations the tastes were spot on for a buffet place. The restaurant was clean, the staff was attentive and friendly. I did enjoy my meal, I would not have any issue returning for another. read more

Tian Fu - Buffet style menu ; ) - Chinese Near Me - Delaware, Ohio

My favorite comfort food Chinese buffet. I moved decently far away so I haven't been able to go since before Covid. As mentioned in another review, they had the pineapple sticky rice on the buffet, the hibachi was open, sushi is included in the buffet pricing. A bit sad there was no wontons available for wonton soup (it was just empty). They did have fresh fruit on the buffet that was really good (perfect ripeness on what I had). I'll go back when I'm in the area, I've missed it. read more

Tian Fu Buffet is one of my go to Chinese joints. It's not exactly fine dining, but the food is usually really good. Today I had got beef, shrimp and pork with some veggies on the hibachi cooked for me. It was nice and spicy. They also have pretty good sushi, and a whole array of typical Chinese favorites. The bathroom is a little frumpy, and some of the booths could use some attention. Overall it's pretty clean, and the service is good. A good choice for $8 lunch and $10-11 dinner. read more

It looks fine and a clean restaurant but when I went to Japanese hibachi portion I saw baby flies in the chicken and I lost my appetite. It might have just been an isolated incident but I myself would chance it. read more

Usually I like the place, however the service has really dived. One thing I believe you never mess with is another persons money. In addition to the cash tip I left, the waitress decided to help herself to my money with a few more dollars that I did not authorize on the receipt. I went on the date 9/20/2019 at noon, and I only caught this four days later due to my Apple Pay being in the negative. While it's only a few dollars, the fact they would do that is unacceptable to me. I will not be returning. read more

I'm not particularly fond of Chinese Buffets,but find the food and service at this restaurant to be better than most. They go out of their way to make sure that the food is constantly fresh, there is a nice assortment, clean plates & utensils, tables are clean, drinks are fileed/refilled, dirty plates removed, and overall what you'd hope for in a restaurant. Many people order take-out as the food is prepared well. read more

The flavor and quality of ingredients is appropriate for what you pay. They do have tasty "carb loaded" dishes if you like that kind of thing. Get ready to see mostly chicken dishes, not crab, or high end sushi. On the weekend they do splurge and put out a few high value dishes like duck and coconut shrimp. If you're looking for good sushi, go somewhere else. The reason being is most of their dishes uses fake Pollock fish crab meat. On occasion when they do put out sushi the tuna has purple marks in it from blood veins and they don't replace it very often. Too little and not often replaced. They're hot seafood dishes we'll have shrimp and the fake crab again. In summary you will like it if you mostly like noodles and general tso's chicken. You will will be disappointed if you are the type of person that wants to get the most for your money. For example cheaper dishes and mostly chicken. read more

DO NOT GO HERE ITS DISGUSTING. Where do I begin? The chicken is mushy like mashed potatoes. There was a big smashed bug on my plate, other "clean" plates had old food left on them. The rice was obviously microwaved. The ice cream scooper was left in dirty water. The vegetable egg roll tasted rotten. The donut was hard underneath. So I tried the American food there and it was just as bad. The garlic bread was stale, the potato wedges were cold. These people don't want to serve you quality food, not even mediocre food. I've been to mediocre buffets and this place was way worse than mediocre. All the chicken was inedible. The only thing that WAS mediocre was the lomein noodles. This place needs shut down for good. Clearly they have lost all passion for quality food, assuming they ever had it to begin with. read more

Have been coming here for several years even after moving away. Food is always fresh and tastes great. Love the sushi! The peanut chicken and hot & sour soup are fantastic. Not a huge fan of their won ton soup. Enjoy the variety of foods. Extensive salad/cold foods. Hibachi grill is great. Will keep coming back when coming thru town. read more

This is probably the best Chinese buffet I've been to because of the quality of food and the cleanliness of their restaurant. Tian Fu Buffet shows mindfulness in the food they send out and I even saw the staff continuously cleaning the buffet table counter in case customers have spilled anything which I don't usually see in the other Chinese buffets I've been to. And believe me, I've been to a lot! We drove 35 mins to this place and it was worth it! read more

Food seems to have been "cheapin up" since things started opening back up. Prices higher also.

I have been to many other Chinese places, but this the one I love! I have been going here since I was a baby and their food is always better and better each time. This is the place to eat for any day of the week. You will receive the best service ever!!!!! This is a great place, keep it up! read more

Average food nothing to great here just your basic Chinese buffet. Service was great and never had a problem getting a refill but will be looking around the area next time around. read more

Lunch buffet for $10... not sure what else you'd want. Food was good. Lots of options on buffet

Food poisoned by old and molded, stuffed mushrooms. Not sure what else was bad on the buffet. No refund or other accommodation received.

This has to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in the surrounding area. We've always had a great experience when dining here. We stopped in last week for the first time since the virus kicked off. We didn't stay, but we took our meal home. The food was very satisfying. I highly recommend this restaurant. We look forward to going back again soon. We typically eat there once a month. If they don't have something you like, just ask and they will prepare it for you. The staff is very friendly. read more

Staff is really nice, food is a good price, the food is good for the most part but sometimes the food is cold because it's been left out for too long. Depending on the time the cood can be 5 stars. read more

first and only time we will go here. It started off bad from the moment we got there. The girl who seated us was not friendly at all. We were seated at a table that was dirty and I had to clean it with my cleaning wipes I carry. There was leftover food stuck on the table and the seat. We were there when they opened so we had to wait for the food to be out in the buffet. It was just ok. The individual at the hibachi area was not at all friendly either. I asked for some spicy Mayo to try and give some flavor to the sub par sushi and he wanted to just squirt it in my plate. I asked for a small bowl of it but that must not be allowed there. I would have given only one star but for 10 bucks there was a large variety of food. It wasn't great, but there was a large variety. We selected this place because it was on some list I found of best Chinese buffets around Columbus. I am wondering now where all they looked..... this place should not have been on any list. read more

Look no further for great value food that will fill you up. They have an amazing sushi selection where I can eat as much as I want for the price of one California roll elsewhere. read more

This is a terribly good buffet! My girlfriend brought me here, and I was surprised at how much they had! They had Chinese food (duh), and some takes on decent American food. Coolest of all (they had sushi!), they had a dude that grilled your food. It was a Mongolian style thing (you get your meat, add some toppings, then hand it to him). Was very impressive. read more

Stopped in here for dinner after a long day of shopping. Atmosphere: it is located in a strip mall with a little bit of shopping and no real competition for food. It is a large restaurant with a lot of different seating options for various sized parties. The sections are nicely divided with short walls in between, which helps keep noise levels down. It has an oriental theme throughout and is a very comfortable restaurant. There are three large buffet aisles (with items on both sides), a stir fry station, and a dessert station. It has always been clean and never cluttered. Staff: the wait staff has always been very polite and attentive. We never have to worry about empty glasses or empty plates either. Food: there are a lot of different options and the selections change randomly. That's nice as we like to try different things every so often. All the food we've had has always been fresh and good. My only complaint is that the nigiri sushi has suffered over the last few months. There used to be 4-5 different kinds of fish in good sized portions, but there were only 3 this time and it wasn't as fresh as in the past. Not to mention, they were pretty small compared to prior experiences. They also don't follow up to ensure the nigiri sushi is replaced quickly. Overall, we enjoy going here when it's been a long day because the food is fresh and the staff is friendly. Tip: they do have a "rewards" program. If you dine there 9 times and get your card signed off, the 10th individual meal is free. read more

Tian Fu is a hit or miss most of the time, but if you're here during peak times when diners fill the premises, then you'll probably be impressed. Then again, this comes with most Chinese buffets. What impressed me the most was their sushi bar. It's actually made in house, and not pre fabricated and shipped in. I almost want to say, ditch the buffet and gorge yourself on the sushi at hand, which is more than just your bland variety of california and veggie rolls. Tian Fu also has a mongolian cook to order grill for those up for adventure. Seating is typical for a buffet, and can accomodate large or small parties. This place isn't terrible considering most of the chinese buffets in the area, but one can only day dream and hope that they don't befall the same stereotypical, boring and bland food their predecessors have left. It's worth a stop if you are craving Chinese/American and are in the area. read more

They have a made-to-order hibachi grill that is included with the buffet that is my go-to. I choose my choice of carb base, protein, veggies and sauce and this will be my entree. I like to support local small businesses and seeing so many buffets close during the pandemic, I'll keep supporting the remaining ones. read more
