We went for Lunar New Year - our 2nd time. They have a chef special menu for more authentic Chinese cuisine. Their menu is huge. our favorite: the boiled fish (filet) in hot chili oil, special fried noodle (fried with eggs), fried green bean with minced pork, country style beef and the xiao long bao.We love the service there, everyone was friendly and knowledgeable with the huge menu on what to order. There is a robot server to help carry food and drink which is really cool!The restaurant is clean, spacious. It is a modern style sit down asian cuisine. There is a sushi bar attached next to it and serve sushi all you can eat made to order.

Amazing food. No notes. Go here NOW.Ok so I got the General Tso's chicken and crab rangoons. It was AMAZING. The rangoons were so creamy and crispy and the sauce was delicious. The General Tso's chicken was off the charts. You get a huge helping of chicken with vegetables and peppers. And rice. The chicken is fried just right and the sauce is amazingly good. It truly is fantastic. The best General Tso's in Indy by far.The staff was VERY friendly. The menu is so big. There are sooo many options. The inside is very elegant and pretty. Lots of asian art and architecture. I love it.Like I said. No notes. 5/5. Go here now.

While visiting our daughter who recently moved to that area we ordered from Tian Fu and it was amazing! The House Lo Mein was great with fresh shrimp as well as the all breast chicken General Tso's. We also ordered Crab Rangoons and Hot & Sour Soup. Loved the reusable bag our food came in and packaging was wonderful with super portions of each item we ordered. Being from a small town we don't have excellent food like this and we loved Tian Fu! Well worth it and can't wait to visit again!

This is the second Tian Fu restaurant in the Indianapolis area, and I'm glad that the owner has retained the name and menu of the original Tian Fu on West 86th street. Right off the Washington St exit on 465 South freeway, Tian Fu has decent parking space. The restaurant interiors are just like another traditional chinese restaurant but much bigger space. My favorite go-to dishes are spicy crispy chicken (chinese version of fried buffalo chicken), Hunan chicken and their house sushi rolls. Hunan chicken has lots of veggies along with the protein option you choose. I've tried their egg rolls and crab Rangoon in the past, and I've had much better appetizers at other places. They have a robot that brings food to your table but the food is actually served by a server. More than efficiency, I think the robot is more of a gadget for attracting guests, which is completely fine. I was fascinated too! The service is usually very fast and it is a must-try place for chinese food.

Updating this review because although my first experience with this restaurant was good, the visits that followed were not as much with other dishes that were ordered. The staff is always nice. It is the food that I am not a fan of. The sauce always has a goopy consistency. Whether I order a Thai, Japanese, or Chinese dish the sauce is too thick and fake looking for me to want to finish it. A disappointment because of how much this restaurant is hyped up. Maybe I'm missing something and I am the crazy one, but this place is not it. So many other better options in the Indy area!

This is a neat little Asian Fusion restaurant that has a decent sized private parking lot to go along with its decent sized dining area. They have traditional Chinese music playing throughout the dining area. The staff is friendly and attentive. The restaurant serves Chinese, Japanese and Thai food which includes lettuce wraps, egg rolls, pot stickers, tofu, chicken wings, tempura, Lo Mein, fried rice, soups, salads, chicken, duck, shrimp, curry, and sushi.I broadened my horizons and ordered a Philadelphia roll along with the pepper steak and fried rice. I got a pineapple sake to wash it down. It took about 10 minutes for me to get me food. The restaurant has a little gimmick where a robot brings out your food to you and talks to you. It will even sing happy birthday for you. It is not an autonomous robot. It is escorted by an actual server, who takes the food off of the robot and puts it on your table. The robot does look like it could serve food all by itself if they wanted it to though. It was pretty cool to see. I am not ashamed to admit that, it was the robot that drew me here. My food was not the best that I have had, but it was still pretty good. It was a lot of food and I could not finish it all. I had to take it home. This is a decent spot to get your Asian Fusion fix, if you are in the area. I am not sure it is a destination spot though, because there are so many similar restaurants all across the area to visit.

Tian Fu is a welcome addition to the East Side, high-quality Sichuan food among some others - Tian Fu offers sushi rolls as Thai dishes. In terms of the area this is the best place for picking up or eating in, I know there are other more fabled options around but you don't need to wait 3 hours for food here.Their online ordering needs revisiting, it's not very easy. I called in my order which was a bit of a whimsical experience. Wait time was slightly above quoted time but it was not too bad. Best spot for Chinese food in the East side, don't take a chance on anything but the best!

My husband and I ate at this restaurant earlier in the year, and it was decent. Sit-down Chinese restaurants are becoming more and more rare, so I suggested this place today when a friend and I were trying to decide where to have lunch. This restaurant seems to have changed since I was there before - for one thing, it was lunch hour and the restaurant was pretty much deserted. The robot that used to deliver meals and drinks was no longer there. The service was incredibly slow - I have gotten far better service in restaurants that were completely packed. Our waitress kept disappearing for long, long periods of time, and she was seemingly nowhere - certainly not waiting on customers, because there weren't any apart from us and one or two other tables on the other side of the restaurant. We got our drinks and it took forever for her to finally come and take our lunch order. My friend ordered fried rice and I ordered sushi - the lunch special, two sushi rolls and I requested that they be cut extra-small. We got our soups and the salad I had ordered, and then our waitress brought my friend's fried rice. I waited and waited and waited for my sushi, but she never brought it. My friend finished his meal and finally our waitress reappeared from wherever she had been disappearing to, and brought my sushi - indifferently prepared, and not cut into small pieces as I had requested. The meal was over and we were ready to leave so I asked her to just box it up so that I could take it home. She did so, and we paid our checks - after I reminded her that I am a veteran and that she had said I would get a discount. So we waited again while she adjusted my check. Finally we got out of there, swearing never to return. Incidentally, I had to make an emergency stop on the way home because my friend suddenly had a bad stomach issue. It may or may not have been related to the food, but who knows? Never again.

We happened upon this place when looking for a place to eat for dinner. It is located in the old Bob Evans near 465 and Franklin Rd on E. Washington St. All the old seating is still in place inside. We were sat right away, with only a few other tables occupied. Our server was very friendly and attentive. He was able to explain things on the menu and came to check on us several times. The menu is pretty extensive, with lots of options. The portions are large and everything tastes great. The best part is the BellaBot that brings your food out to you. It is a talking robot kitty!The only dissapointment was the fortune cookies. While they tasted great, the "fortunes" inside were more like proverbs, not fortunes. They have seated tables and also a sushi bar at the front. They serve chinese dishes, soups, appetizers, sushi, and desserts. We all had plenty of food to take home as leftovers. We will definitely be back!
