  We love Asian snack for the authenticity. This isn't American Chinese, so don't expect to find general tsao's chicken here.
  
  Before I met my husband (who is American Born Chinese), I really hated "Chinese food", or what I thought was Chinese food. I couldn't stand the deep fried meats in overly sweet and sticky sauces. I thought it was all icky. That's because I wasn't exposed to true Chinese cooking, which is now my favorite type of food and
  
  What you'll find at Asian snack is the type of food you'll make in a Chinese household or get at a family gathering. I really enjoy their beef noodle soup (think Chinese pho) and their tomato egg (a standard dish in a Chinese household). I wish I could replicate their tomato egg, but they have some magic I can't produce at home.
  
  The only negative would be lack of seating, but it's located inside a grocery store so there isn't much to expect in the first place.

  As close to China as it gets. Let's face it, you're sad Szechwan Garden is closed and so am I, but don't fret- Asian Snack is here to save the day.
  Think of Szechwan Garden as your fancier authentic Chinese restaurant and Asian Snack is your everyday, neighborhood diner. The food is just as good, (maybe better) but you're not paying for big tables and fancy (read: any) decor.
  
  After living in China for a year, I was homesick for an authentic experience. American Chinese restaurants are fine, but they don't scratch that particular itch. You're getting the real deal, friends- crowded small tables, chopsticks wrapped snuggly in their bright red wrappers on the table, hot water dispenser in the corner, black vinegar within arms reach for your 饺子（dumplings). (None of these are meant to be negatives by the way.) AND the food is perfect.
  
  Head into Sarraga and hang an immediate left. You can't miss it!
  
  Do it the chinese way and order the amount of dishes you have in your group plus one if you're hungry. I recommend the eggplant (鱼香茄子), dumplings, and green beans. I wasn't blown away by the steamed buns (包子), but everything else was excellent. The portions are generous and the staff are friendly.

  超正宗！I am a very frequent customer here. Always come here after some shopping at Saraga.
  
  This is probably the best authentic Chinese food within 10 miles. The price is really cheap for the huge portion.
  
  They also have very Chinese dishes not like orange chicken but 煎饼果子，凉面，rou ji. The dishes usually don't look that great in picture but taste really really good.
  
  The owner is also super friendly. They are very chill and never try to force any sell on you. They let you take your time picking and give you a huge bowl of rice and are truly happy when you enjoy their food.
  
  Do note that they close on Tuesday!

  This hole-in-the-wall is likely the best Chinese food you will get in Indy. The beef noodle soup is the best I've had outside of Taiwan or homemade. You HAVE to try this when you come here. It is seriously to die for. I also ordered a chive pancake and it is so nostalgic for me. My mom used to make these, and they are ridiculously good here.
  
  The prices are also so cheap! I got the beef noodle soup and the chive pancake for $10 total. A steal!! Also this restaurant is inside Saraga supermarket. There is not a lot of seating, a few small tables that seat 2-4 and one large table that can probably seat 8.
  
  It is super convenient to do your grocery shopping here and sit down for lunch as well. This is probably my new favorite restaurant in Indy, and I will be back to try more dishes off the menu!

  We have been so Indianapolis several times but never got to try this due to some circumstances but we finally got to this place during our last visit. This place is located inside the world market as soon as you get in, you turn right. We loved this place, their service is great and fast. I  love and love their chive dumplings with Chili Oil. Their prices are very affordable for the portions that you get.
  We went there as soon as they opened in the morning so we were able to get seatings, otherwise, it's just a takeaway place.
  Don't get intimidated by how the place is set up. You will not know how authentic their food is compared to the other Americanized Chinese stores until you have tried it.
  
  We will definitely be back again for sure.
