"This was my second visit to Tian Fu over a three year period, and this time the food was mediocre, at best. I had something called the Phoenix and Dragon which was recommended to me by the waiter. Being unfamiliar with their new menu, I asked him for a dish that had meat and vegetables, and wasn 't spicy. He confessed that he 'd been working there only about a month, but suggested the P D, even though he wasn 't sure what was in it, exactly. That should 've been a warning to me, but I went ahead with it figuring that he would know if something had meat and veggies. The menu described it as having shrimp, chicken, and vegetables. Sounded good, so far. I was accompanied by a friend and we split an order of egg rolls as an appetizer while we waited, and those were hot and tasty. The entrees arrived, and to the credit of T.F., mine had several large shrimp, but the veggies were mainly just a few carrot planks, some snap peas, and a water chestnut or two. The other meat was supposed to be chicken, but I couldn 't confirm that because it was bland, and the texture was similar to that of a wet, wadded-up paper towel. I tried a couple of the pieces of alleged chicken and gave up on them. The sauce that was liberally poured over everything was far too salty. I picked through the shrimp and abandoned the rest. The white rice that 's mandated to come with it was, as usual, forgettable and it was a waste to bring it to me because I didn 't want it, nor did I eat it. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being best, I 'd give my meal a 4, with the egg roll and the after dinner, prepackaged fortune cookie being the highlights. My friend ordered the Teriyaki Scallops and was marginally pleased with it. Although there was a generous helping of scallops and a few broccoli spears, there was too much Teriyaki sauce on it for her taste. The low-light for her was their salad, which was just white iceberg lettuce, some sparse carrot and red cabbage shavings, topped with a non-descript and not-very-pleasant tasting mystery dressing that came plopped on it. No choice of other dressings was given. She said the Miso soup was better. Overall, I 'd give my latest visit to T.F. a 5 out of 10, based on the food. Not terrible, but certainly nothing to merit a recommendation. The waiter was pleasant, attentive, and as helpful as he could be, but he wasn 't very knowledgeable about the menu. I would be open to going there again, but only if someone could recommend a better choice of an entree."

Lina
service was pretty standard, the interior was dimly lit and spacious. the food was overall pretty good, especially the green beans and spicy chicken. the scallion pancake was a little burnt and flavorless though.
Laura
The soup dumplings were incredible! I also tried the chicken pad Thai, which was delicious and offered a great portion for the price. Our server, Chris, provided excellent service. We will definitely be returning!

I've been dining here for two years now, and I absolutely love it. My favorite dishes are the mala fragrant pot, sweet and sour mandarin fish, and West Lake beef soup—all of which are definitely worth a try. It's hard to find authentic Chinese food in Indianapolis, so if you're craving a taste of home, come and enjoy a meal here. View menu

I have been to Tian Fu a few times now with my coworkers as it's close to the office. Their food is mediocre, but it's a good price for what you get. Their service is good, I have never had a wait time and BONUS they have an electronic delivery system that is a Robot Cat Cart! I have had a few of their lunch specials now, General Tso's and Kung Pao Chicken which were good and they come with rice, a spring roll, and a crab rangoon (lunch special). I like that I can get a few things for a good price. The last time I was there, we ordered Coke product drinks I believe that they do not have a soda machine as they came in cans and each of ours were flat. A few of my tablemates asked for a new one...

Okay so hear me out I was having a stressful day (thank you taxes) and wanted to make my day a little better. Now I've been to Tian Fu before and they have great options. you can ask for the Chinese menu and get even more options. This particular day though my weary lil soul craved something smothered in sauce and comforting reminding me of what my family used to get when I was growing up. So yes friends, I went with General Tso's Chicken. I'm giving five stars because I've been to this restaurant before. I even celebrated one of my birthdays there and they always have amazing options the space is beautiful. When I used Doordash and what stood out to me aside from the perfectly cooked rice,...
