We have visited this restaurant on 10 occasions , including takeout. I am vegetarian so my go to meals at the restaurant tend to be mushroom butter pasta, and vegetarian Ramen soup. The mushroom pasta is an excellent choice for vegetarians. The tofu vegetarian Ramen soup has an abundance of fresh vegetables, and the broth is excellent. I have enjoyed meals there with business partners, family members, and friends Service is prompt and polite. Takeout orders are timely and so far in seven orders we have not experienced a single mistake.Vegetarian options: Mushroom pasta, Vegetable Ramen, Spring rolls.Parking: Restaurant is within an offstreet plaza with shops, including an office of NY DMV.Kid-friendliness: Most tables are 4 tops and I have noticed families with children on most of the in dining visits.

I go to this place all the time. The waiter (named Moe) here is so friendly and kind. He is so good at what does. I recommend this place to someone who like Asian mixed food. My favorite here is Spicy Bacon Pasta with 10 chilies because I love spicy spicy ❤️ please go check it out!

I tried spicy bacon pasta which tasted great except the fact that it was bit more salty. Then i tried mango cheese cake which was also good, not awesome though. My friend’s dish was also bit salty. And spicy dish was not at all spicy. So i will suggest to balance on salt and make it spicy when you call your dish spicy or at least ask for level of spicy. Deserves 3 star thinking it was accidentally salty, otherwise I wouldn’t give more than 2star if i have it again next time.

Very reasonably priced, delicious asian fusion cuisine. I had the spicy seafood squid ink pasta and it was absolutely perfect. Great portion size, fantastic value, and great service. Love this hidden gem among lots of over-hyped disappointing restaurants in Ithaca!

First time I ever post a comment on a restaurant. The green curry was just amazing. First bite brought me back to my first trip in Thailand! Worth a drive!

I think my favorite is the green curry chicken or salmon. I wish I could learn how they do the breading on the chicken and the sear on the salmon. The fusion concept is nice but I always warn my friends that if they are expecting authentic ramen, they need to go somewhere else.They also don't do the katsu curry anymore, which is unfortunate, because it was one of my favorites. Maybe the server was new or was overwhelmed by our large group, because she seemed a little flustered or nervous at the orders and refilling drinks.

In my book, this is one of the tastiest, cutest and best valued restaraunts in Ithaca. $20ish bucks after tax and tip for very generous portions of interesting winners like seafood pasta loaded with garlic and real flavor, salmon squid ink or green curry pasta, etc. It's all tasty, the price is incredible for what they're serving, and the aesthetic is moody and charming. Black and white tile flooring, warm low lighting, tree branches (or something like that on the walls).

We found this place using TripAdvisor, even though we're locals. I wanted to celebrate my stepson's acceptance into a competitive program, but I needed to find a restaurant that could satisfy different dietary needs, had decent parking and didn't break the bank. This place more than accomplished that, and we were delighted with the unexpected yet delicious fusion dishes. The service was very good as well. The atmosphere is a bit off (it was decorated for Valentine's Day in October), but that's not a deal breaker!
