“Fantastic Restaurant!! A must see and delicious healthy cuisine!!!“

“I got fired from Chili’s a few years ago but I still love the food. Our waitress Riley was super nice and helpful. I got druunk last night and this was my hangover meal. The only thing I don’t like is the AI responses to the reviews on here. A chilihead should respond instead. I’ll still come back though“

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!“

“This winery in downtown Ithica is in a beautiful building and has a small wine museum inside. The owner is so passionate and knowledgeable about the history of wine and winemaking. The tasting menu is small but wonderful with some off dry wines and dessert wines. I enjoyed the experience completely and did not leave empty handed.“

“Everything about Sal's is simply the best! We make trips up from Corning just to make a stop here. They have the best gluten free pizza around and their garbage wings are delicious! They always are friendly and make you feel welcomed. After a few visits they remember you and make you feel like family.“

“I love their pizza. But I also love this family! I grab a slice every now and again and everyone treats you as family. They know my slice, they’re always so kind, so personable, honoring and respectful to everyone. You are missing out if you don’t go 👏🏼“

“Great meal today. Check out my review on Ithaca Food Dude 👍“

“My boyfriend and I went here together for the very first time and had an amazing experience. The food was fresh, the service was quick and our waitress was very kind. The only drawback to our experience was the manchild in the restaurant when we arrived. He was sitting at a table with 2 others dining in as we were, and decided that screaming at the waitress, the chef, and 2 other employees was an appropriate course of action after there was a misunderstanding when he and my boyfriend ordered something similar and the manchild was accidentally brought the wrong dish. With an air of not so subtle racism, he accused them of doing it on purpose, and demanded all of their meals (his as well as his other two very unfortunate dining companions) be completely comped, to which the other unfortunate people dining with the manchild, all completely horrified of his behavior, paid their tab and wanted to leave quickly. The employees at the establishment handled the situation SO professionally and immediately did everything to remedy the situation, which made our experience there even better. We ordered food to go, and will definitely be recommending this location to others and returning here our next time in Ithaca. Hopefully manchild will stay at home and cook his own food next time- and again- kudos to the lovely staff at Saigon!“

“Las pizzas más ricas que he probado!“

“Fabulous food, huge portions, reasonably priced, and terrific service!“

“We tried the Hand-Ripped Noodles (Biang Biang Noodles) with Braised Beef here, and the dish was absolutely delicious! The noodles were super fresh, and we asked for extra spicy — it was perfect 🔥. We also added a soy egg, which was a great choice. My husband and I both loved it so much. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic Xi’an street food!“

“Just had this for the first time the other day! It was delicious and the people were soooo nice! Food was done quickly and a good price. My favorite was definitely the chicken tikka masala done spicy! Yum! 👏👏👏“

“Excellent place to eat food. They have a huge variety of foods. I actually like them better than the dining halls because the salad bar has more options and is more organized. They also pay by the lb for a lot of stuff, so you don't have to feel compelled to stuff yourself to get your money's worth. On the go snacks are available too.“

“I had the lemon artichoke pasta . It was excellent along with the service !“

“Wonderful, friendly staff and great food. Excellent prices and location - close to Ithaca Commons.“

“Had an excellent dinner with great service on a busy evening. Fantastic! Thank you, Sunny Days of Ithaca“

“We were in the mood for fish and chips and found Northstar Public House, one of the few places in Ithaca with a Gluten Free option. So glad we did! Hands down the best dinner we’ve had during our visit. The fish and chips were amazing, the mac and cheese was super tasty, and the mocktail Shy Violet was spot on. Our server was wonderful and made the whole experience even better.

The vibes are great too—reggae music playing when we walked in set the tone right away. If you’re looking for a spot with delicious food, friendly service, and Gluten Free options that don’t compromise on flavor, this place is a must!“

“They have a good selection of beers on tap, friendly bartender, excellent music events in a very hip environment and located in the coolest part of town. I highly recommend the place. It reminds me of some of my favorite college town bars I used to go to years back. Michael Callahan“

“Some of the best espresso I've found in Ithaca, and if you get it as a dine in, it's served with sparkling water, which is a nice touch that goes a long way. Baristas are incredibly friendly, and the overall atmosphere is very nice“

“A surprisingly sweet café tucked inside the Cornell campus store. The coconut and pistachio macaroons were delightful — chewy, sweet, and full of flavor. Chocolate croissant wasn’t the fluffiest but still tasty, and the shortbread cookies were simple and satisfying. It’s a lovely, cozy corner to snack and study, surrounded by tributes to Cornell’s literary icons (Carl Sagan and Toni Morrison watching over you!). Plus, the prices are student-budget-friendly.“

“Graduated from Cornell in 2009 and I still think about my go to BLTease with Ginger Miso dressing 😂 So glad to see Temple of Zeus is still going strong and has a social media presence!“

“Wonderful Food- Just Ask That They Be More Realistic About Prep Time.Their sushi is prepared well and the best deal in town. But you may want to double the time they give you for pick up orders. It's possible that they don't want to tell you the realistic time because it will sound too long. We ordered the Sushi for Two (which is easily enough for four-- and we have big appetites!) It was beautifully prepared-- but they told me 25 minutes and it was closer to an hour. Double the time, and then you will be very happy with this place!“

“The sandwiches are actually quite good. I like that it is open for a long time so if I miss the usual lunch time and can still grab something to eat. Also there is rarely much of a queue so it is perfect for something fast. The Big Red Barn also has sandwiches but it takes them longer to make them, in my experience.“

“If you want to have newly made, quick Asian Food (especially Thai & Japanese), Oishii Bowl is the place I always regularly visit.

The taste is really delicious! The price & the portion is reasonable. The quality is good. The atmosphere is clean.

We can order via Kiosk/ Tablet and that’s convenient. They have 2 options: dine-in and take-away. The only thing I would critic is that we cannot add on some proteins in dish, unless you directly contact with staffs (which normally are not there at the counter).

In summary, every thing is good here. Looking forward to coming back for sure.“

“We stayed at a nearby and wanted a real hot breakfast not one prepared and set out for everyone. This was not even a block away. We arrived right after they opened at 8:30 am so they were not busy. We were greeted immediately and told to sit where we wanted. Our drink orders were promptly taken. I ordered a latte and it was delicious. For breakfast my husband created a ham & mushroom omelette and I had the Farmhouse breakfast with fried eggs and sausage. The sausage was different I could definitely taste the herbs used, it was good. The breakfast potatoes were cooked just the way I like with skins on and browned. If we return to Ithaca I would definitely return for breakfast but they serve lunch as well.“

“My wife and I have been to nearly all of the restarants in this town and sense the covid nonsense started the quality has taken a dive, the prices have only increased, and the service leaves us wondering . Not so at Uncle Joes. The food here is consistantly excelent, the prices reasonable, and the service on point. You will spend a lot more for a lot less on the other side of town.“

“Great Ethiopian food made as per African cuisine snd served by friendly staff“

“Went here for my daughters 12th birthday with some extended family so there was 7 of us and the hibachi experience was just amazingly fun here at Sumo! I highly recommend! Thank you staff and cooks!“

“Excellent food, great service and the price was reasonable. Will be back on our next US trip.“

“It’s bread, pastry, and service!“

“Would recommend incorporating a stop here into your plans to visit the area. The food was excellent, atmosphere was great with a beautiful view of the water, and the service was also exceptional. Our waiter, Mark F. was courteous and professional and did a fantastic job!“

“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.“
