Enjoyed the food for the most part. The first time I went, the scallion pancakes were burnt, and the service can sometimes be hit or miss. But I enjoy their mapo tofu, it is quite tasty. Would generally recommend.
A fantastic spot for truly exceptional food at an even better price.

Spicy Asian Kitchen was okay overall. The portion size was pretty small for the price, but the service was quick and convenient with a drive-through option. The food taste was okay.

Food was okay, but nothing great or special. Portions were small. We were the only ones in the restaurant. The server was rude and had a bad attitude. When other customers arrived, they ended up leaving because the server was lecturing them. Not recommended, at least for a dine-in experience.

Worst Kung Pao chicken I’ve ever had — it tasted old, like it had been triple-fried and reheated. The fried rice came with no vegetables at all, just bland and greasy.
The service was equally bad. The older man at the counter was extremely rude. He insisted there were no lunch specials even though it wasn’t yet 3pm. When we specifically requested “less oil and less peanuts,” he didn’t even bother to note it down or communicate it to the kitchen.
To make things worse, he asked, “How is everything?” and when we honestly said the Kung Pao was bad, he dismissed it with, “Nobody else said so.” Then why even ask for feedback if you’re not willing to listen or make it right?
Overall: terrible food, careless service, and no respect for customers. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

The food was really delicious, and they can adjust the spice level to your preference. The staff were friendly and humorous, making this a relaxing spot to enjoy a hot meal during your trip.

Good food. HD an issue as a selection was way to spicy. They were very kind and gave me another plate that was far less spicy. Recommend the restaurant.

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!

We stayed at Hampton Inn Ithaca next to Spicy Asian, we were there around 9 PM , they said they can take order for only to go, we ordered & bring at hotel. At the end we found metal wire on chicken.
Waiter was incredibly rude. My brother has a severe fish allergy and we simply asked whether the sauces used in our order contained fish and if he knows whether the pots and pans used for our order could potentially not touch fish. He snapped at the simple request and did not even answer the question. When we asked again, he retorted with “Are you stupid? I don’t know!” Needless to say, this waiter could benefit from anger management.
