5 Best Chinese Restaurants near Dryden

“We drive from Ithaca for take away. This is the freshest, tastiest Chinese food just like the previous comment says “in the Finger Lakes” we happened to be in The cCortland area hitting Tag Sales& Thrifty. My husband is ordering our dinner as I type. We are vegetarian & Love the sesame tofu & Buddhist delight!! Crisp beautiful veggie eggrolls. And our food is still HOT when we get to Ithaca. I just wish they had garlic eggplant!!“

“My friends and I agreed that this was one of the best experiences we have ever had eating at a Chinese restaurant. The food was amazing - I especially loved the sesame chicken as it was sweet and flavorful, and the fried dumplings which were crunchy and savory. The restaurant also has a great authentic atmosphere, the service is fantastic and the staff is super friendly!
Absolutely the best Chinese food in the upstate New York region!“

“They were very fast and efficient! Although it is a small building with little to no seating space, it's mainly all takeout. Fast food, and reasonably cheap prices! (Heavy man with accent on phone, but understandable.)

Vegetarian options: There is vegan and vegetable items on the menu if you are picky.

Dietary restrictions: It can be limited to your choosing.

Parking: In a small plaza

Wheelchair accessibility: Just wheelchair in, wheelchair out.“

“Always good, never been disappointed.“

“For lack of a better way of putting it, this is the most different Chinese food in Cortland.

Most of the other Chinese places seem to all be pulling from the exact same recipes with very little difference from one restaurant to another. Hunan has more or less the same menu as everyone else, but their recipes seem to be either homegrown, or based on some different footprint.

The result of this is that there are some things I feel they're the absolute best in town for, like the hot and sour soup, while other things aren't my favorite like the Sesame Chicken, and still others are just a nice change of pace, like the boneless ribs (which seem to use a different cut than any other place, which is neither better nor worse IMO.)

I guess if you're eating at other Chinese places in Crotland and feel like some specific menu item is lacking, it can't hurt to try this place.

Also, I did hear that delivery can be slow with this restaurant, but can't confirm this since I always pick up my orders.“
