This is now my go-to place for basic, good honest Chinese food.The soup was salty enough that it should probably be served with blood pressure meds, but their Crispy Szecuhan Prawns [as spelled in their online menu] are quite impressive!If interested in their lunch menu, you should be sure to arrive in time (online says 2:30, in-person said 3.) I have seen service declined shortly after 3, and they do encourage you to head out if you finish your lunch after their 3pm break.

On our way home from SFO, had a craving for Chinese food. Ordered Yo-Fu Wonton soup, Combination Moo Shu and House Chow Mein. Every dish is delicious!! Fresh, great flavor!! Check them out. Only downside, no RR, kinda small, and parking lot is sketchy.

Food flavors are on point! Mixed fried rice is cooked very well and tasty. Mongolian beef is not spicy but has some good spices (how I personally like it). Noodles are thick and yummy. Also, the delivery packing is top notch, cardboard pieces to separate and keep food level and separate bags to keep moisture/condensation to each bin. 5 starts will definitely order from again.

Reasonable price & good portion. BBQ pork & fried rice is pretty good imo, other dishes are okay-ish.

Great food and service! The lady who served us was very friendly. Restroom very clean too.

The food is what i would say close to authentic Chinese food.The chowmein was the thick kind (not the conventional thin kind which has lesser flavor)The menu was in in mandarin / Cantonese too.Giving a 4 star rating because i ordered food to be spicy but it wasnt spicy enough even after adding their chilli paste.Additionally their food is laden with unhealthy vegetable oils.The waiter+cashier was a down to earth guy, not like your conventional waiter who looks down upon you for not knowing what to order or not ordering enough.

We have been using their catering service, at least once or twice every year, since 2014. Their food is really good and prices for catering are not bad either. Recommended

Ok, the food is amazing after a change of guard.. I had stopped going after the previous owners took over as the quality and quantity of the food went down the tube.. fortunately, I went back just to have a look, and found new owners 😀 the food is tasty again and back to regular portions.. one gets a lot for your hard earned money here.. please do give this a try.. but only takeout if youre used to posh places.. the interior is very run down and I suspect that theyre only interested in takeout as they havent spent anything on doing the place up..

We have eaten here for over 6 years and things have been good, 4 stars minimum. The past few months have been bad, specifically, our last 3 visits. Almost inedible. This is a picture of Sesame Chicken. It tastes like really bad Sweet and Sour Chicken. The Honey Walnut Chicken tasted like mayonnaise.We tried and tried. We even talked to them. Not sure if there are new owners or what but the food is NOT good.

Ordered garlic eggplant that was neither garlicky nor spicy just eggplant in weak sauce.

2020-12-19 03:22:53

Very nice on phone when ordering. Had General Tsaos Chicken & Beef & Broccoli-- both were delicious! Dumplings had great flavor and texture. Generous portions and will definitely come back again. Bottom-line when youre in the mood for good Chinese take-out this place does not disappoint!

Review №15

2022-03-19 20:06:27

Lunch special was really bad. Sesame chicken was the worst just heavy flour coating, sugar and tons of food color. They had no vegetarian or chicken option in soups for lunch special.Only good thing, waiting staff was really polite.

Little store front restaurant with good portions. I like that they have 3 tofu lunch dishes. Food is tasty but I took off a star as vegetables were not fresh or overcooked.

Review №17

2021-05-18 07:20:35

Loved their food, Although lately a little sluggish with how they serve food, one time It seem like the food was overcooked or used old food and reheated. Especially very salty, and if you ask for it low on sodium they just dont put nothing. So those are the only cons but Im still going to give them a try again hopefully they can improve.

Food was good but service was suspect. White people come in they come take there order. Me and my son sat for 15 minutes and nobody came to take my order. Then I go to counter to order for here. My first two items come out very fast. Then another family comes in and they get all there food. 15 minutes later the rest of my food comes out. When I complain the guy goes to the other family to justify why they got their food first. Very unprofessional. The lady kept making dirty looks at me since we sat down. She never gave us any service but serviced all other customers. Very strange how people can run a business and treat people bad but nobody cares if its black people being mis treated. Its as if everyone thinks we deserve less!

Used to be pretty decent but the last visit was no good. Chow mein has no flavor at all. Fried chicken wings used to be big wings, we ordered and the were tiny. I would have been better off going to Panda Express. Time for a new Chinese food restaurant.

Tin Fu is one of my go-to for Chinese food, I often take out here and the food is quite good. The owner and staff are quite friendly and have accommodated my off menu requests for time to time. Lunch specials are the best value here, I almost always take some to go as the portions are large. They also have Yee Fu Won Ton which is hard to find and a childhood favorite.

Review №21

2019-05-05 04:39:38

Lunch specials for $7.28 and includes entree, soup, choice of rice or chow mein, and an egg roll. Very generous portions - mine lasted me two meals. And for that price, it was very worth. I work around the area and would probably come here for a cheap lunch, but wouldnt specifically drive out here for it.

Review №22

2019-04-18 03:18:13

Don’t do it...food is not fresh, at all. Weird taste on each entree we ordered. Shrimp fried rice was fried rice with 6 pieces of shrimp laid on top when I opened my takeout box. We ended up throwing everything out.

Review №23

2018-09-29 06:56:56

I was going to cater from them and give them some good business. I was about to order chow mein, fried rice and spring rolls. I only asked for a sample for a spring roll and the guy said no free samples. I thought he was joking so I asked him if he was serious and he said yeah, no free samples. What a bad response to a customer that was going to give them a large order. This was my first time there, who didnt know what their food tastes like. All they had to do was give 1 sample. I chose not to order from them. Ordered from another place instead who were nicer and genuine people.

Ordered the beef chow fun. The ordered was ready in 10 minutes. So - So chow fun. A lot of bean sprouts and no clear flavor. No hot heat chinese wok char marks on the chow fun. You might try other places if you want really good chow fun.

This was the worst experience Ive had with Tin fu. Ive eaten here numerous times and after waiting 2hrs for delivery only to get cold or as the driver said it was a little warm food Ill never again eat there. My kids and I had to pile into the car in pjs to go find dinner after 7pm. Smh. The worker Benny was nice and tried to help but the manager Sue only wanted to take $5 off the order. Worst customer service to satisfy/make whole a customer ever. When I order food I expect fresh hot food not luke warm or cold food.

My new fav Chinese food. This hard to find little mom and pop serves authentic fresh and clean dishes. So fresh, theyre chopping up herbs and greens on 1 of the 8 tables in the restaurant for everyone to see. Friendly service.

So i ordered shrimp fried rice and bbq pork for $17 delivered roughly 3 min drive..so i open up my plastic top of food and theres only three pieces of shrimp..i move my fork around that was all the shrimp. i called back the lady told me that if i wanted more shrimp i would have to pay. i told her that was ridiculous then she had the audacity to laugh. ive never been so dissatisfied with service and slim food. also the shrimp are a half dollar in size.. never going there again

The hot and sour soup was SOUR like it had GONE BAD!! THE PORK BUN wasnt good. They dont serve any dumplings, very misleading. The only thing that tasted good was the potstickers. Was very disappointed, and the server was a little off put could be taken as rude. Certainly never coming back, but hope this doesnt show what could be from the sister restraunt in hauward.

OK Chinese food for lunches. Cheap and hot food. Tried the fish with black bean sauce. Did not like it as much. I went with someone and they had kug pao prawn. That seemed to be much better. Seems like they may do a few dishes better than the others. Should try it, you may like it.

Review №33

2016-05-02 10:57:22

Awful. Just got take-out from here and couldnt be more disappointed. Got 3 dishes for over $30 and it hardly resembles Chinese food. The wonton noodle soup had spaghetti noodles (yeah, not mein), which is weird and wrong. Broth was bland. They throw big pieces of carrots and zucchini in all their dishes, Im assuming to be used as a filler as these ingredients are cheaper than the traditional ingredients that go in the dishes we ordered. The meat was tough and chewy. Never going back here. Shocked theyre still in business.

Waited over two hours for my food when I was told 50 minutes. Driver did not speak english at all so even though I asked them to have the driver call me he never did. When I told them I did not want to pay for the Luke warm food they said you pay or you dont get food. No discounts no apologies. I said forget it. Will not ever order from this place again
