“Wonderful Chinese food, Wonderdul experience: This was our second visit to Tien Bistro.”

Wonderful Chinese food, Wonderdul experience: This was our second visit to Tien Bistro. Tonight we ordered the Eggplant in a special sauce, it’s soooo amazing and delicious. The eggplant is cut diagonally and pieces are just right and melt in your mouth, literally. We also had the beef in a chili sauce, so tender, cooked perfectly, really tasty. We also ordered the.wontons filled with beef and onion, it’s very succulent and the sauce is very complementary. It’s home made. So great to have such a jewel of a restaurant close to where we live. No need to drive down to Chinatown!

As a native Beijing-er who’s been living in the US for ten years, I can say this is one of the best Peking duck I’ve had in the US! Other dishes were delicious too. Also love the great environment and service. Highly recommend!

“Peking Duck is the must!”

Peking Duck is the must!! Make sure you reserved it when you make reservation because there are limited availability each day. Food prices are reasonable service is great. Only thing is that the restaurant is cold, might be because of very high ceilings. Overall is Great!!

“My husband from Beijing said it's the best and most authentic Peking duck he's had in the Midwest.”

My husband from Beijing said it's the best and most authentic Peking duck he's had in the Midwest! He's really picky and misses his duck from home, so that's saying a lot! Everyone was so nice and friendly, you can tell they really care about the whole experience. A reservation is required for the duck by calling in or filling out a form on their website, but do yourself a favor and give them a try! 谢谢, we will definitely be back!

“Amazing Peking roast duck exactly like how it’s done in Beijing.”

Amazing Peking roast duck exactly like how it’s done in Beijing. I’ve not had it for 6-7 years and it’s a trip down memory lane for me. The duck is as authentic as it gets and I highly recommend it. I’m reducing 1 star for food because I feel that almost all of the food we’ve ordered is lukewarm. This place has so much potential and the experience can be easily elevated by serving the food piping hot. I hope that they can improve their processes so that they do their food justice.

“味道没话说绝对Evanston第一。分量足上菜速度也很快。下次回来必点烤鸭。 Hands down the best Chinese food in Evanston.”

味道没话说绝对Evanston第一。分量足上菜速度也很快。下次回来必点烤鸭。 Hands down the best Chinese food in Evanston. Solid portions and fast service too. Sadly we didn’t reserve a duck this time but next time for sure.

“unequivocally the best Chinese restaurant in Evanston.”

unequivocally the best Chinese restaurant in Evanston. the duck is made by a LITERAL master of duck, and it shows as it's honestly the best duck I've had in the States. everything else —which is not pictured here cuz we devoured it so quickly that I forgot to take photos— was so delicious, unmatched quality. absolutely my favorite Chinese food in the area, will definitely be coming back here.

“We reserved ahead of time for a duck, and ordered a few more dishes.”

We reserved ahead of time for a duck, and ordered a few more dishes. This is one of the most authentic Chinese food I’ve had in a while! The duck was delicious and done right, pancake was paper thin! We liked the stir fried beef with facing heaven chilli. Food was fast, and service was attentive, the restaurant allow outside drinks.

“Spacious with a bar and table options for couples, small groups, or large families.”

Spacious with a bar and table options for couples, small groups, or large families. Service was great, they stopped by a couple times to make sure we had what we needed. All the dishes we tried were delicious - no small feat for a brand new restaurant. I recommend the green beans and the sliced beef with green peppercorn - not too spicy. The beef and tripe in chili sauce is also my favorite but it’s too spicy for some people. The sesame chicken and dumplings were popular with the kids - not at all spicy and has some veggies. We didn’t try the duck, but everyone who did order it looked happy with it. A fun new Evanston restaurant, will be back for the duck!

“We reserved a half duck ahead of our Valentine’s Day here.”

We reserved a half duck ahead of our Valentine’s Day here. Neat that they had live music. The duck skin could’ve been crispier and overall the duck could’ve been salted more, though we did enjoy the thin wrappers. The pork and chive dumplings were really good. As was the cucumber salad. Could be fun to come back again with a group of 4 or larger to try more dishes.
