13 Best Chinese Restaurants in Ithaca

“You know when there's a wait outside that your in for a treat and this place did not disappoint.

I ordered the general chicken with broccoli and the chicken. Was crispy and sweet. I like that it wasn't breaded like most asian places. I'd definitely would come back here plus this place was recommended by our air b n b host. Thanks guys!“

“Fantastic execution of standard American Chinese you're used to. Got the sesame chicken lunch special for around $11. Good portions very pleased, and staff were super friendly. Will absolutely come back for lunch again. (P.S. Stewart Park is 5 minutes away and a great spot to crack open your lunch and relax)“

“Just dropped off our daughter at college and we were hungry from all the lifting! We wanted something relatively healthy that wasn’t too heavy. Spicy Asian was great! We got fried dumplings (ok, maybe not the healthiest 😝) and were so delicious - it didn’t taste oily and they might be homemade? My husband and I shared the chicken, beef and shrimp with broccoli in garlic sauce and it was amazing. I overheard the waitress tell another table that they make their own egg rolls, so had to try that! It was very tasty (I would have preferred some meat in it but it tasted very light-perfect amount of wrapper where some places have it too thick. Excited to take my daughter here when we come visit!“

“I have been a long-time customer since they opened. We always go there for lunch and to go. They keep quality and consistency until present for services, food quality, and atmosphere.

We always took family members and relatives to this restaurant.
One time, my husband wanted to reorder the Cahun for lunch, and they gave a discount, too. That's nice. Also, one time, a long time ago, I forgot cash, and they allowed me to go out of the restaurant without paying to get cash for about 30 minutes. That's really nice heart.

Highly recommended.“

“I always ordered dried fish hot pot and something else such as tsao chicken, fried rice, mushrooms with vegetables. They are consistently have good food if you like asian spicy dishes, friendly good staffs and affordable.
I always parked at the municipal parking garage.“

“Great place for delicious Chinese food! Great takeout service too!“

“The food is delicious. I don't know the woman's name that answers the phone, but she is always nice and accommodating for my children's allergies! I would recommend it to anyone!!! And my food is always ready in 10 minutes!

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free and shellfish free options!“

“THIS IS THE BEST KOREAN RESTAURANT IN ITHACA HANDS DOWN. I love this place so much. The women who works here is also so sweet. The menu is so great and diverse. The food is well spiced and actually spicy!! Please come if you like real Korean or Chinese food. It’s a comfort spot for sure! Jayook Kimchi is my fav dish here.“

“Lovely and sweet married couple make the best beef sandwiches & buns ever. The flavor & texture of the beef against those of the bread are the most comforting sensations I've had in Ithaca!

Vegetarian options: Noodles are the best bet. The bread part minus the meat would be a safe option too for vegetarians.

Parking: Park on South Geneva Street for free parking.

Kid-friendliness: Awesomely kid-friendly!

Wheelchair accessibility: First floor so easily accessible via wheelchair.“

“Got take out chicken teriyaki bento. It came with miso soup with seaweed and tofu, a choice of side (I got the seaweed salad which was great), chicken teriyaki with brocolli and carrot, white rice, and 3 gyoza/dumplings. Although it was take out, it was freshly made and was still delicious.“

“Detasty is a great place in collegetown, they have good chinese food but at a bit of a price. Do remember I compare these with Indonesian restaurants which have crazy low prices. Try the chilli fried pork/chicken. The food here actually has spice for spicy food lovers“

“$11.01 for a buffet is insane. I don’t care if 75% of the food is terrible. That being said, 75% of the food looked terrible. But there were plenty of good options to get your dollars worth. Red chicken on the stick was my favorite, very good. Sushi was ok, ice cream was great, of course. Dumplings were good. And a few nice other dishes.“

“I've never been to Capital Corner, have gotten delivery many times over many years. Haven't tried most things available, we stick to regulars. We love the chicken lo mein, general tso's chicken and sesame chicken.

Parking: I know there's street parking, however finding a spot depends on time and day of the week.“
