The red bean milk tea is sweet and delicious, I will be going back for more! The Bibimbap is fantastic, I will be back for more of this as well! The food is really good here and there was no wait for a table, this is one of my favorite Asian restaurants on down town Ann Arbor, I highly recommend checking this place out if you're hungry, I felt like I had plenty of great tasting food. This restaurant is set up in likeness to a casual Asian diner and I think Tianchu is locally owned and operated, taste apart of Ann Arbor!

Always walked past this place and never went in, but it seems like they are under new management now and are specializing in northeastern Chinese cuisine (with bits of Sichuan and Korean). Surprisingly really good

If you are looking for authentic Chinese food you have to come here. It’s genuinely the best and even though it’s a little slow please do come. I love the hostess, and her service attitude is excellent.

Best Food In Ann Arbor!!! I’ve lived here my whole life and this is categorically the best restaurant in town. The Hainan Chicken and Boiled Flounder and dumpling chili oil are all standouts.

Literally delicious. Was slurping the noodles so fast that I accidentally whipped spicy soup into my eye and was in agony for several minutes. Cried all my mascara off. Please try them out.

The food is very authentic and delicious. It’s a haven for Asian-Americans to get good food from their home countries.

Food is AWESOME!!! Perfect for people who likes flavour in their food. My husband's "braised pork clear noodle" and my "spicy chicken" definitely surpassed our expectations by A LOT. Warning: the chicken pieces still have bones, so be careful. Otherwise, it's perfect!

Had the Stir-fried four seasons beans and the water boiled flounder filet. Both were excellent, super authentic and full of chilis!
