Asian Snack

This is my new favorite Chinese place in Indy. We had the steamed pork buns, szechwan beef noodle soup, and the chive pancakes. Everything was fantastic, and priced quite low. Absolutely loved it and will return. It’s inside the Saraga market, and the ambiance isn’t anything to write home about. It’s well worth going for the food – the most authentic I’ve had in Indy since «On Time» closed awhile back.

I’ve been looking for authentic Chinese since my China visit last summer. We got a bean pastry, dumplings, steamed buns and a Bing and a meat pie. The language barrier was a bit of an issue but the food was fantastic. I wish my Bing had meet and was spicier, but it was still enjoyable.

This place offers really authentic food! You must try their beef noodle soup, pork sandwich and beef pancake!

Extremely good! Some special flavors in China, very traditional. Boss is really nice! Awesome!

I lived in the Zhejiang province in China for a year and a half. While I am glad to be back stateside for many reasons, I still dream about the consistency and flavor of noodles in the chao mian. I have gone to so restaurants looking for noodles that even come close. Mostly these have been fruitless endeavors.
Then there was Asian snack. Get the noodles with pork. Get the bao zi (steamed pork buns). Get the jidan bing (egg and crêpe roll up with fried bread stick (you tiao)), maybe with a little extra sauce. Hands down, most authentic Chinese restaurant in Indy and, for several dishes (including the chao mian) one of the most authentic in my travels in the US. While it is basically two mismatched tables and a steamer counter in the front of Saraga Grocery Store, it has been a Godsend. Best Chinese street food I’ve had in the states. Go.

If you are looking for real Chinese, this is the place to go. Nothing more. Its in the big mall called supermercado in case you did not find it.

Very authentic chinese food. The lamb with cumin is full of flavor. I can feel the heat and spice already when they brought me the dish. So yummy! This is my go to place when I am craving for chinese dish.
Staff is super super friendly. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ for service.
Note: This place is inside sagara market

meat wrap is really traditional Chinese taste! beef noodle is soso. also recommend taro crisp and durian crisp but they are only served on weekend

Best Chinese I have tasted in Indianapolis. Though it’s authentic, it appeals to everyone. I love the fried rice and noodles here

We tried an array of dishes and were very impressed! I’m not a fan of the goat soup but I have nothing to compare it to. I’m definitely getting food from here again.

This place has the best Chinese Tianjin (天津) regional food in Indiana even Midwest. All the crews are from Tianjin which makes they cook the exactly same flavor as what you can get when you are in Tianjin, China, not to mention they are so nice and funny. I also come from that beautiful city so you have my word!

The best Chinese food in America.
This place is amazing. Super good food. A friend who grew up in China took me here the other day and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. I have eaten «Chinese» food all my life, but, until now had never actually eaten Chinese Food.
I got the Zi Ran Yang Rou (lamb), Gan Bian Si Ji Dou (green beans), Tu Dou Si (potatoes), La Zi Ji (chicken). They were all amazing. They looked similar to what I had eaten before, but, the flavors were much more rich and interesting. The potatoes were cut so shoe-​string thin I thought they were noodles until I put them in my mouth. So many peppers, so many spices.
It’s heavy and I hesitate to say «greasy» because it’s more of an «oil» than anything. The oil from the spicy peppers, the oil from the wok, the oil from the veggies, the oils from the meat cooking. Nothing dry about any of this, but, not «greasy» in the way that so many American places can tend to be. It’s just super duper good.
I will be going back so many times.

This place is inside Saraga and is a gem. The owner is a gentleman from Tianjin, the northern part of China, and this place has some great northern Chinese dishes.
There’s a set menu and there’s also an ad hoc menu. In addition, you can buy pretty much anything from Saraga, bring it here, and he’ll cook it however you like. That is cool.
The owner used to own Szechwan Garden just down the road from what he said. This place is very authentic — there’s no sign out front (there is a small sign inside Saraga) and his clientele is essentially those who shop at Saraga, so he doesn’t need (and is unable) to appeal to the PF Chang crowd. If we lived near here, we would essentially outsource all of our cooking to this guy.
There are only 2 – 3 tables so a lot of people take out. The prices are lower than comparable Chinese restaurants. This is a must go if you are into authentic Chinese food. Avoid if you are the PF Chang kind of Chinese food eater because there is no décor, atmosphere, or presentation.
