Tianjin Foods — Restaurant in City of Ithaca

Average quality food, but the old lady is extremely rude and mean. She's not willing to offer any utensil (unless you ask). She will not prepare your order until she sees you in person (she assumes people who order over the phone won't actually come). She even charges you the credit card transaction fee. Also, avoid speaking with her because she will yell at you at any time.

She also has crazy supporters in her group that are like brainwashed and will help her brainwash others: if she yells at you, it's definitely your fault if you do not visit frequently, they say you are not qualified to judge if you do visit frequently, they say you should leave rather than complain you should be grateful to receive food from her (as if she's not paid) anyway the lady is old and busy so she deserves respect...

Amazing restaurant, I've been going here for a few years now. The couple that runs it have great personalities, are charming, and are extremely kind people in general. The food is amazing: I have had the beef noodle soup, xiao long bao, and several other dishes from this place, all of which I recommend heavily. The food here is so incredibly good, affordable, and quick and its being served by two of the kindest people I've met in this town. This place is amazing, especially for those feeling homesick and looking for food that perfectly captures the appeal of Chinese food. I'm part Chinese and have travelled to China to visit family many times and believe me, this food is just as good as most Chinese restaurants I've been to in China and across America....

went here a couple of days ago and got their beef noodle soup, soup dumplings, fried dough (youtiao), and savory sticky rice. I’d say the food is pretty legit and tasty, but the youtiao is extremely oily and I find that they charge 50 cents for takeout containers and bag (they only charge a dollar for me though). I have seen many reviews saying they are rude, but I would say our interaction was just like with any other (I think they could just get a little grumpy since they are indeed Asian elderly). other than that, I would recommend! they have others (drink/ desserts) on their menu too but I wish they were in English so that others can try them...
