Awesome food, great service. Best chinese food for at least 30 minutes in any direction.

Great food and variety. They are so helpful refilling your drinks, taking away empty plates, such variety in food. Best Chinese buffet around!

I wanted to give this place 4-Stars, but that wouldn’t be fair to the other Asian Buffets that truly deserve 4-Stars. A few of the dishes were flavorful, but most were just palatable. I ate my fill, but walked out with the regret that I hadn’t saved my hunger for the Mexican Restaurant next door.
Also, I have to say that I was more than just a little annoyed that the waitress sat a guy at the table right next to me despite the fact that he smelled so bad with BO and Cigarette Smoke that i almost couldn’t eat at all. She might have made a better choice by seating him in a more secluded spot in the restaurant for the sake of all the other customers. 🤢🤮

I come here for lunch every couple of months, and I always enjoy it. Their appetizers never fail to please, but their mains are not as good. Their sushi generally isn't worth eating. I came recently and they had some new items on the buffet, including a fried scorpion roll that I got to while it was still warm--That was good! I don't usually get the doughnuts or french fries or whatnot at a Chinese buffet, but their beef tacos are worth a try.
The atmosphere is about average. They have tables covered in Chinese characters and they keep the lights low, and the music is not too loud. The service is what you expect: they take you to your table, and they refill your drinks frequently.
I really don't know how they keep it $11.99 for lunch. It is certainly worth it. There is of course the buffet no-man's-land of 1:00pm to 3:30pm where the food is not so fresh, but if you get in in the 11:00 hour, I can almost guarantee that you will enjoy it.

It's buffet style foods, I noticed a lot of the food wasn't fresh. The service and atmosphere was great. I'd just recommend getting there when they first open for fresh food options.

This is my favorite restaurant to get my sushi fix. Sushi is usually so expensive and I only eat it as a treat, but I actually figured that this place is literally more affordable than buying a packaged sushi box from a grocery store, or sushi takeout from anywhere else, period. For $15, I get unlimited servings of california, and philadelphia rolls, and they have this bomb sriracha roll sometimes for dinner too. Is it on par with $100 sushi restaurants? I'd say no and that's not realistic, but honestly, if you like basic rolls, there isn't much difference. I also like this place because they actually hand make the sushi rolls here. I've been to other buffet in Columbus where I have seen that they use a machine to make the rolls. Somehow the texture is just different hand-made vs machine-made so I like this restaurant is still very old-school.

If you're looking for the best bang for your buck, look no further than this buffet. Seriously, stop reading and go eat. This place consistently delivers an unbeatable value and this is why I go on a daily basis for the past 10 years that I've lived in Delaware.
What makes it truly five-star is the sheer reliability and variety of the food. They don't try to get too fancy, which is a blessing—they just perfect the classics. Every dish, from the General Tso's Chicken and Lo Mein to the fried dumplings is house-made and always my favorite go-tos. Whether you're craving staple Chinese-American fare or want to dive into the soup and salad bars, the options are endless.Can you think of a place that lets you eat so much for less than $15?
It's the perfect spot for a quick, satisfying, and filling meal that won't break the bank. It's clean and the price point is incredibly wallet-friendly, especially compared to other buffets in the area which can easily run you $40 or more after tax. This is my default for when I need guaranteed comfort food and want to eat a big variety of foods. Highly, highly recommended!
Terrible Experience, Unsanitary and Unprofessional
I rarely leave reviews, but my experience at Tian Fu Buffet was so disappointing that I feel compelled to share it. From start to finish, it was a complete letdown. To begin with, the food was subpar at best. Every dish lacked flavor and was poorly prepared. The chicken was chewy, the sauce flavors were off on each dish. Everything tasted old and not freshly made. It was hard to believe that this place even passed basic food quality standards. But what really made the night unforgettable—though in the worst possible way—was the appalling behavior of the staff. At one point, the kitchen staff walked through the dining area, and one of them casually spit on the floor right in front of us. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was as if they were completely indifferent to the basic standards of cleanliness and hygiene. He was wearing a head set and walked through the front door, through the dining area and into the kitchen. To add to the discomfort, our server spent most of the evening eating an apple, sitting at a table. She was constantly on her phone. It was clear she didn’t wash her hands once during the entire evening, which felt incredibly unhygienic and unprofessional. Overall, this experience was just appalling. Between the unsanitary behavior, the lack of care, and the poor quality of the food, I will not be returning to Tian Fu Buffet.

This lovely buffet had a very nice selection of items, carefully prepared. The salmon is the best. Korean noodles and apple turnover were fine. Chicken on a stick, very tender and flavorful. Tables were clean and atmosphere was calm and peaceful, quiet.

Absolutely hands down the worst Chinese buffet I've ever been to. The food had an incredibly weird taste, rather it was the broccoli, chicken, or bourbon chicken. The person with me said it tasted like fish, and refused to eat anything else. While I did eat mine, it tasted incredibly bad, and both of us were sick to our stomach before we even got home (30 minute drive). Service? Barely any, to the point I didn't even see anyone for 20 minutes to ask for our check. Again, I can't even begin to describe the taste of this food and will never return here.
