Asia Cuisine

We came in for dinner on our last night in Ithaca and got seated right away. We were at a table next to a couple of regulars who’d clearly been coming for years and were on first name basis with the staff. Everyone who worked there was so incredibly kind that I can see why they kept coming back! On top of the fast and attentive service, the food was SO GOOD. The eggplant with garlic sauce was particularly great! We ordered 2 entrees and 2 sushi rolls and thought the final bill was very reasonable given the quality and how much food they brought us!

The staff here are super nice -- between their service and the tasty food, it's easy to see why this place is often packed! Everything I've eaten here has been good, but the Korean food rises above the rest (e.g., the sushi) and is 5-star-worthy. Order Korean and come at a less busy time and you'll be extremely satisfied. Otherwise the food will still be great -- but you may have to wait for a seat.

Been here three times all my life in Ithaca. The first one was with my department bestie as it was our first time hanging out together and I taught her how to use chopsticks, how cute is that? And the second time was with my bf and the third time was with an old friend with her friend who were both new students this fall. The place was super strategic as you could see it from across the Seneca street bus stop because it was located hooked and the signage was kinda readable from far away. Also, they placed a printed menu on the window so that people could easily see both menu and the ambiance of the place directly although I could hold my waves of laughter a lot as I sat twice at the table near the menu because people could be very intense when seeing the menu and they might also watch us eating a bit. The staffs were attentive and friendly but their opening hours might be the quickest place to close as they close around 8pm. Food-wise, they have a wide variety of Korean and Japanese food and some kind of fusion Asian cuisine like the name of the restaurant!! I once went with fusion raw, cooked, and deep-fried sushi rolls which were so good, and some were categorized as spicy but not that spicy for my appetite. And then I tried the Vegetable Pajun or pancake served with a sour sauce which had not much flavor but the crispiness saved the game. To be honest, not really a fan of Korean food but I did try the Jjam Bong with chicken and it turned out so flavorful and the soup was spicy which I loved. The shredded chicken was tender and scrumptious also the noodle was cooked perfectly for me. Recommended to those who want to try comfort and tasty Asian cuisine around Downtown but make sure to seal the deal before 8pm so you will still be seated !!

First walking into Asia Cuisine I noticed that it was small and cozy. The waitress was very kind and attentive to our party. I ordered C4 for my main entree and thought it was delicious. Also, the spicy rice cakes were a good appetizer to start out with. The food tasted authentic and I would for sure come back.
