Tian Fu Buffet

Worth the 20 mile drive from home. We have a buffet in town but this is by far much better and cleaner. Great selection and plenty of seating.

Really good service and food. We got carry out and it was ready when they said and they didn’t forget anything.

This is a great buffet. My picky eater children loves there is a variety of American dishes as well as authentic. My family and I have been three times now since moving to Delaware. I can say I’ve tried every dish. The meat is great quality, the veggies fresh, the sushi is good. There is even a «Mongolian bbq» type station.
Well worth the visit.

Food was great but we went for lunch at 3:15 they didn’t print out our receipt till 3:31 which is 1 minute adter the lunch special ended. Then They charged us full dinner rates which was higher. Tried to complain but no English at all !! Ripped us off !!! Also, mi service provided, we were each given our drinks and the girl never came back again. Won’t be going back!!!

This is by far the best Asian buffet in the central Ohio area that I have experienced. The service is always good and they have a great selection of food. As so many have noted the sushi bar is very good. Overall they do a great job keeping up on the food and even a better job keeping the bars clean. They keep up on cleaning off your table and keeping your drinks full. The food is very good and we especially enjoy the sushi, seaweed salad, salmon, sesame balls, and crab legs (at dinner). The Hibachi grill is a great option that is included.
I have to say I laugh a little when I hear people say this is a typical asian/​Chinese buffet. I do understand they may be talking about the food but the dining room puts probably 80 percent of other Chinese buffets to shame. Compare it to the one near Walmart in the Lewis Center area, the one in Westerville on Schrock, or the one near Sawmill and 161 and it is not even close. When we travel my wife sees a lot of value in buffets and some of the ones we have been too –as far as the dining rooms go– rate a 2 where this place is at least a 4 on a 5 scale.
Ways they could improve:
–The manager or owner should be checking on customers and the bar more regularly.
–Remodel the bathrooms and more importantly ensure cleanliness.
–Don’t make too much food at one time. I have seen times when they obviously put out
a large pan of food at the beginning of lunch and it was still there at the end of lunch more than half full.
–The person managing the buffet needs to dump some food sooner. When the food starts showing age or the sugar on dishes like General Tso’s starts showing at top.
4 stars.

Honestly, hands down the best buffet-​style Chinese restaurant I’ve been to. The waitresses are very attentive, but don’t check in on you when your mouth is full like I seem to find at sit-​down resaurants. They ASK if you need refills and if you’re done with a plate before whisking anything away half-​finished like some places. They have a very wide variety of fresh-​made sushi, including «beginner’s» sushi like Philly rolls which is hard to find at most restaurants. I was impressed with their lunch special (only $ 14 for two people!) All the food is well-​marked so you don’t have to worry about allergic reactions or eating anything beyond your palate. I love their General Tso’s and honey chicken and my boyfriend loves all their sushi.

Great food and prices. Service excellent as well with a full sushi bar included. I would definitely come back.

First of all, the lo mein noodles are some of the best I’ve had in a long time. The service and experience I had was horrible. I had just dropped my dog off at the pet store two doors down to be groomed and had an hour to kill. I walked in at 5:40 on a Wednesday night. It was not very busy. I told the hostess when I walked in that I wanted to sit down for a coffee and maybe an appetizer and that I was waiting on my dog to be groomed. She gave me a funny look and sat me at a booth and whispered something to the other waitress who then also gave me a funny look. I sat down and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee and told the waitress that I might order an appetizer also. She brought me a very small cup of coffee, no menu and walked away. I drank the coffee, then waited for over 15 minutes with an empty coffee cup and no menu as both servers bussed tables around me and helped other diners. I finally asked one of them if I could get a refill on my coffee and a menu. Several minutes later, she came back with no coffee and the check for $ 1.39 for my coffee. I again asked for a menu and a refill on my coffee. She brought me both and I ordered an order of chicken lo mein to go. As I continued to wait, I did not receive any further refills on my coffee. I got the lo mein, paid the check (which was for chicken lo mein and a cup of coffee) plus 20% gratuity despite the awful service, picked up my dog from the groomer, drove 25 minutes home. Once home, I opened the container and found it to contain VEGETABLE lo mein… NOT the chicken lo mein I had ordered and paid for. Next time I take my dog to the groomer, I’ll drive the extra distance past Oakland Nursery and back towards Delaware to the Corner Café.

The food and service was really good! There was a good variety in the sushi selection.

really good for buffet food my favorite thing is the array of sushi and the hibachi grill. buffet Items are luke warm at times so I only get the sushi and stuff from the hibachi grill. they treat my son like family and we visit this location at least once a month with the kids eat free coupon.

We really enjoy coming to this buffet and do so often. The staff are pretty friendly and they are great with kids. The one night we had our grandson with us and he only wanted french fries however he had finished the few off that were there. The waitress had them make more just so that he could have some. The food is pretty good and above average compared to buffets of this style.

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.

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 10^th individual meal is free.

Probably the best Chinese buffet I’ve ever been to.
There are a few items that were a miss but for the most part everything tasted fresh and delicious!

Used to a great spot. However, quality has gone way downhill. Ate there last night during the rush, really disappointed. Was there over an hour and they did not fill the crab legs once. Many chicken dishes over cooked and pork won tons mushy. Overall bad experience.

Love the service here, been coming here so long the servers used to sit and play with my son as an infant (5 now) while my husband and I got our food. This is our go to spot for a quick dinner. Food is not always perfect, but they refill drinks fast and clear the table fast. And there’s plenty of food options.

Sunday Lunch Buffet with 9 of us in the party (back in mid march 2013)
Upon entrance:
Greeted promptly and seated
Not very busy at all, possibly 4 other people in the whole restaurant and a party of 6 – 8 finishing up.
Service:
We had a party of 9 our server was fast to get us our drinks.
But, we didn’t see her a LONG time afterwards, I actually had to get up and hunt a server down because I had been out of water for at least 15 minutes!
Plates were piling up on our table (fills up fast with 9 people). It was only when we used a nearby table to house our dirty plates did our server show up.
She was apologetic and was semi-​attentive after this. (Keep in mind there was probably only 4 other people in the restaurant at the time).
Food:
We got the buffet however when you went to get your food some of the dishes said «dinner only» confusing because dinner was a few hours away, do they leave food under the lamps for that long?
The food was your average Chinese buffet.
The crab legs were a plus and they also had some tasty not your average buffet fare food available.
The selection of food was abundant and mostly fresh (Sadly not as fresh as my previous visit).
Bonus:
They did have a some sushi and a Mongolian style section to have a custom dish cooked up on the spot.

This is your typical Asian buffet, which sometimes has crab legs on weekends, plus it has a beautiful sushi bar. I don’t much care for sushi, probably because I usually encounter some ingredient that turns me off and I don’t order the right thing. But these rolls always entice me to try something, they are so pretty. Plenty of seating, don’t think I have ever seen a wait here. The busier, the better for fresh food. A cooler has ice cream for the kiddos, which is a good bribe for them to eat their stir fried green beans. Staff is always courteous yet curt, more importantly they do a good job keeping the place clean, bathrooms included.
I wish the hot and sour soup had a more standard flavor, it changes every time we visit from fabulouos to so-​so; maybe it involves some kind of mixing from the previous service, or aging of the pot??? I don’t even want to know…
A few TV’s up on the wall, for those who care. Easy parking, close to stores so you can walk off the buffet bulge.

I like buffets, and this one had the most varieties of sushi I’ve seen at a Chinese buffet. Price is descent and food was pretty good.

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.
