Good Jajjangmyeon in Ithaca! My parents recommended this spot to me- and they are very particular about their Asian food. They absolutely hated Kimchi. I finally got around to trying Asia Cuisine though must admit I was a bit hesitant given their extensive menu (I feel like if a restaurant offers too many types of cuisines the quality takes a hit). However, I was pleasantly surprised! I had been craving jajjangmyeon (I had it once at Koko's but it was not good) and ordered Asia Cuisine's C3 green tea noodle w jajang sauce. The noodles were delicious! Al dente and the slightest hint of green tea flavor! The jajang sauce was a tad oily and not super traditional, though I still enjoyed it- especially the addition of onions! Service was okay. Nothing exceptional. While I haven't tried any of their other menu items, I would recommend their green tea noodle jajjangmyeon! read more

Asia Cuisine - Jajjangmyeon (C3 green tea noodle w jajang sauce) - Chinese Near Me - Ithaca, New York

Hey Google inconspicuous restaurant a corner lot but when you approach it, you notice the lines out the door and it's completely packed compared to the high your end places next-door. Pretty straightforwardly named Asian cuisine. They offer a combination of Chinese Japanese and Korean food. I had a tasty Bulgogi bento box which had tempura, a California roll, japchae, salad with ginger, purple multigrain rice and of course the delicious bulgogi. It's a casual atmosphere with friendly service. We honestly walked in cause we overheard several people saying it was better than "this", "this", and "that". But honestly the aroma from the kitchen was enough to draw me in. Definitely tasty, fresh, well portioned and highly recommended. read more

Asia Cuisine offers some of the most delicious foods in Ithaca. On Friday, we went to Asia Cuisine. Long line builds up quickly in front of the restaurant. Asia Cuisine checks all the boxes for a terrific dining experience: Food: tastes perfect. Service: Outstanding Wait time: Customers love this place. The wait time ranges from 10-15 minutes Restaurant space: Cozy, warm and intimate. During the hectic Friday evening, the staff members work together to make it what appears to be effortless service. Being aficionados of Japanese food, we order the bento boxes. My order comes with jop jae, tempura vegetables, brown rice, vegetable sushi, 2 tempura shrimp, and tofu. Fabulous flavors. Joseph orders the beef bento box. He says it tastes fine. When in Ithaca, stop by at Asia Cuisine. Bring friends, dates, and family. read more

I had the Sam Sun Jjam Bong and it was delicious! The broth has a seafood umami savoriness and has a slight kick (not too spicy for me tho)! The vegetables were fresh and cooked to the point where they still have a satisfying bite to them and the shrimp were also very well cooked! Most of the time I order this dish at other places, the seafood is overcooked but I thought the shrimp had great texture! As soon as we came in, our waitress greeted us and she gave us a table for 5 right away and she got us ice waters immediately. She was kind and had a warm smile :) read more

I visited with friends, and I'll admit -- those neon lights? Total vibe. They set the tone for a night of good food and questionable decisions. I ordered the Dynamite and Spicy Salmon rolls. The Dynamite roll, priced at nearly $12, was not dynamite. If anything, it was a blast of disappointment. For a roll that costs double what the Spicy Salmon roll does, I expected more than just a sliver of fish on top and a few more grains of rice. Same portion size, double the price? That's not math I'm here for. Pass on that one. Speaking of the Spicy Salmon roll, now that one was solid. It delivered the goods for its price and met the sushi standard I was hoping for. Apparently my friend said that their eel roll's sauce was "a bit weird." Noted. If that's your thing, you do you, but I'll also pass on any eel sauce adventures. read more

On the coldest day of the year so far we found this small gem. It's a very small space with tightly packed tables we entered and squeezed into our seats. The place was quiet with everyone enjoying their food. There is one server and she is super nice. We waited patiently for our server who took good care of us. The food was amazing. I had the chicken bokum which was spicy but delicious. Definitely try this place. Not only was it packed but there was a ton of takeout orders. I will be coming back the next time I'm in town. read more

Really enjoyed our post hike dinner at this multi cultural Asian restaurant. The menu had some transitional Korean items but also some more fusion style items and overall a large menu. I appreciated the pictures of many of the actual items on the wall. We both enjoyed our entrees a lot. The Kung Pao wasn't very spicy but was mildly spicy and sweet. Service was friendly. read more

We went to Asia cuisine at lunch time last Tuesday. When we got to the restaurant and went in they were kind and we immediately got a table and they were so fast. The miso soup was delicious and the chairs were comfortable and inviting. I was satisfied and I enjoyed the food the miso soup was so good would go there again and I would suggest it for you to come here if you like rolls and soup. read more

We went out for lunch on my birthday, and there was only one person serving everyone. She was so nice, and I feel bad, but my hubby got sick a few hours later. He said a friend told him that he knows others who also got sick. I didn't have the same dish, so I was fine. read more

this is the best korean restaurant in ithaca. really authentic jja jang myun and jjambbong.

I can see why this place is always packed, the food is very good. After being there and waiting outside, once seated I continued to wait to place my order. The waiter noticed that I was waiting for a good amount of time and threw in a beer on the house. I like that, will be back! read more

I visited this place during my vacation to Watkins Glen and let me tell you, this is some of the BEST Korean food I have ever had. I had the Kimchi Chicken Bokum; it was PACKED with flavor and the portion was huge.... just the right amount of spice!!! My boyfriend had the Jjam Bong which is basically like a seafood soup. He loved it. It wasn't spicy, but there was a lot of flavor and the seafood was fresh. We only got one sushi roll, but they have so many to choose from. If you're big on sushi this is the place for you. The service was very quick and attentive. I think the only issue with this place is that it is pretty small inside, only about 6-7 tables. So if you come during a peek time expect a wait. We went around 7pm on a Sunday and did not have a wait, but by the time we left there were 2 groups in line. read more

After seeing the raving reviews, I was excited to try this restaurant, however, I was quite disappointed. I got chicken teriyaki, and it was bland and had a sweet sauce (that did not taste like teriyaki sauce!) which did not taste good in my opinion. In fact, all of the food had this sweetness to it that was quite reminiscent of cinnamon (??). Honestly, the only thing I liked was their tea. The service itself was adequate, we did not come at a busy time, so I didn't feel any negative sentiments there. The ambiance itself is cozy, but not worth the food nor the price of the food. Needless to say, I will not be coming back. read more

Great food, fast service. Overall not the prettiest restaurant, but the food is fantastic.

This place lives up to its simple name but with a number of variety available. While not specializing in one cuisine, I found that to be a great quality because I'm personally someone who likes the variety. I'm impressed with how they balance it and manage a busy crowd. You know it's a good spot when there's people eagerly waiting outside in the cool fall weather waiting to get in here. The staff did a good job of getting people in within 15-30 min on a Friday night. Admittedly we even added a person to our party last minute and they were able to help us out and get us in. There's truly something for everyone. Between two super sushi lovers and a few non fish eaters, everyone got something they wanted. I was in a sushi mood and was happy I didn't need to break the bank for four rolls (yes this is how many I usually get). My husband got the jjangmyan special and was very satisfied with the green tea noodles consistency in particular. He even convinced the others at the table to order it. I was surprised at how big the special rolls were. The Aurora roll was huge and at a deal too. I really enjoyed the New York Roll which is simple having salmon and tuna but the nice add of apple brought it together. The Ithaca roll satisfied my craving to have one deep fried roll. Spicy tuna ultimately ended up delicious. I will mention we had a small misunderstanding regarding my allergy. Because the rolls I got didn't mention there was scallion on top, I was a little disappointed at first when some of the rolls came topped with scallion. I was able to pick it off (cross contamination isn't a problem for my allergy). But the staff took notice and immediately helped update the remaining rolls on the way to ensure no scallions. They even re made the spicy tuna roll to make sure there was no scallions (my husband happily ate the one with scallions that came out). Greatly appreciated their attention and action on the matter. We were only visiting Ithaca for the weekend for a wedding but was very glad and we enjoyed the place. Until next time! read more

Asia cuisine, the love of my life, where do I begin. This is my favorite restaurant in Ithaca because it offers authentic food, reasonably prices, and wonderful portions. Every single time I've gone, I've never had bad service or bad food. The extensive menu offering pan-Asian cuisine has everything you can want: Korean noodles, sushi, fried rice, an array of stews etc. My honorable mentions include the vegetable pajun, yakisoba, and veggie jja jjan myan. Every dish is so flavorful and unique. Also they're super awesome about customizing the spice levels. Adding kimchi to the yakisoba will legit change your life. I'm fully convinced that God himself is in the back of the kitchen cooking it up. As Asia Cusine is an Ithaca favorite, it can get pretty busy, but that never detours the speed or quality of service. Incredibly friendly and efficient staff! Although small, the restaurant is super cute and cozy! If I can, I love to snag a seat by the windows. The atmosphere is great for a warm meal in the winter or sharing noodles either your friends. They sell a shirt that says "I hope I die before Asia Cusine goes out of business" and I couldn't agree more :) read more

Absolutely delicious!! Sushi & Korean with some twists on Chinese dishes. Loved the Unagi Don, Avocado Salad, Beef Bulgogi & Bibim Bop. Friendly Service and really busy, but could step-up the table service (water refills, enough utensils for diners, etc). 4.5 Stars read more

I had a terrible experience. I regularly order eel avocado rolls in sushi places and I did it in Asia Cuisine, too. When I told it to the waitress that the eel tasted apple cinnamon, she just laughed at me. My husband's eel bento box had the same cinnamon taste. We also ordered sesame chicken for my son as it is one of his favorites in Chinese places but he refused to eat it after he tasted it since it was sour and spicy. We do not want to go back And I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

OMG this is our new favorite Asian restaurant! We came here after going to Cornell Botanical Gardens, I ordered the avocado salad, eel and avocado roll, and fried sweet potato roll because they were so cheap compared to what I am used to. Everything was excellent. So we ordered their version of General's Chicken which is light years above and beyond any that I have had in the past (I don't even like chicken that much) the sauce is this amazing spicy fruity can't get enough and the chicken great with a light and crispy breading. We ended up Ithaca for hiking a few days later and got the yakisobi which is so smokey and yum. Plus hand made noodles. Their brown rice is also killer. I think they must not have any bad dishes and I can't wait to find another excuse to come here. read more

One of my most fave restaurants in Ithaca and my favourite place to eat in the Ithaca Commons. I never know what I want to order from here, I only know I will never be disappointed and I've tried a LOT of their dishes. I've taken dates here, my mom, my friends, myself, it's one of my go-tos and my fave place to sit is one of the two spots right next to the window. The service is also excellent. read more

Asia Cuisine - Bibimbap, Soondubu Jigae, spicy vegetable soup, soju - Chinese Near Me - Ithaca, New York

Affordable spot for decent Chinese/Korean/Japanese food in Ithaca. I got the Jop Chae Bop with beef. It was very standard for a japchae dish in terms of ingredients and quality, so not much to say about that. It also came with a healthy serving of rice on the side. The prices at Asia Cuisine are very reasonable, as this dish was only $12. Our waitress was pretty friendly and the service speed was quick. The restaurant is a bit quiet on the inside, so you could say it is peaceful, but also a bit lacking in terms of having a good atmosphere/environment. There is a decent amount of available seating inside the restaurant. Overall, Asia Cuisine is a very standard spot for East Asian cuisines. It's good but not much better than average, so I would give it 3.5 stars if I could, although I will bump it up to a 4 for the affordable prices. read more

This is a small sushi joint with both a sushi and Korean menu. We watched a few locals come in for takeout and dine-in, and the server (owner?) recognized them all. It struck me as the locals' spot. The sushi menu is extensive! It was a bit different than what I'm used to on the west coast, but it was tasty. The pieces were cut half and thin as I'm used to, but there were more of them, and they were easier to eat. We noticed the place could use some updating and cleaning, but when you're cooking Korean food, oil just happens. Other than that, good value, nice staff, and great choices. read more

The worst Korean food that I have ever had. No banchan (side dishes) to start. Ordered Daegu Mae Un Tang, Rajoki, and Jjam Pong. Daegu Mae Un Tang was not even spicy as described, barely had any meat, and was very tasteless. Rajoki had some uncooked chicken and was very soggy. Jjam Pong barely had any seafood and used soba noodle. I have never seen these kind of Korean food, and they were disgusting. A chef who is trying to imitate Korean food very poorly. Do yourself a favor and don't try these Korean food. The server was very kind, though. read more

The best goddamn sesame chicken I've ever had. Always packed but in a cute lively way. Servers are quick and will take care of you.

Asia Cuisine is still fresh and great-tasting before and during the pandemic. In fact, I think the food quality/quantity has actually gotten better now that they don't have dine-in customers to worry about. (Although I do wish they would resume offering kimchi, pickled daikon, fish cake and other side dishes with their Korean plates.) They've been a family favorite for over 10 years. Glad to support this local gem. read more

Asia Cuisine - Tofu and vegetable bibim bop. Yummy, healthy and potentially carb-free. - Chinese Near Me - Ithaca, New York

During our Ithaca trip we were out late hiking, and were so hungry that we decided to bring some takeout back to the hotel rather that go out to a sit down dinner and Asia cuisine worked out perfectly for our needs. In early October of the pandemic they were only doing take out and delivery anyways so they were the perfect option to satisfy out sushi craving. We ordered 3 rolls to share a Dragon Roll, Rainbow Roll and a Shirmp Tempura. Reasonably priced and very fresh all 3 were delicious. True life it was so good that we sat in the car on the side of the road and devoured all 3 of them in a few minutes. I have no picture because they were just so good I didn't even think about taking photos. Definitely a place we will be returning when we visit Ithaca again. If you are in the area and are a sushi fan this is a must stop. If you are in the area and are not a sushi fan, stop here, you will most surely become one! read more

This place looks better on the inside than it does outside. Just looks like a normal cheap takeout place but on the inside it's very compact and has wooden walls. I came on a Sunday night and it was packed to the brim. There was a long line of people that crowd in the front of the store and nowhere to sit (despite there being a few empty, uncleaned tables). I can empathize with the staff as they were obviously very busy, but it would make more sense to have another person on staff to make things more efficient. The menu has a plethora of options to choose from, and it's more authentic Chinese/Korean. I would love to try all of them eventually. I ordered the black been noodles (wheat noodles, black bean sauce with onions zucchini and beef). And it was good but not great. My friend got a couple of things I don't remember the name of and shared it with me and it was really good so I know they make really good food. Unfortunately, the short staff made it difficult to enjoy this experience because it took forever to 1. Get our order out 2. Refill our water (which is critical during these salty meals that prune you to a raisin) and 3. Pay our bill and leave. My friends main dish tasted like fruity pebbles for whatever reason (it was not fruity pebbles). Idk if that's a good or bad thing since I don't know what the dish was but I felt like it was worth mentioning. I'd suggest hiring an extra person or have more people on staff during predictable high times. read more

I love both the service and the food at this place. I'm a pescatarian and always have so many great options to choose from. I'm especially fond of any of their garlic sauce dishes.

This is the best asian spot in Ithaca, hands down. I am usually wary of fusion places because they usually do some things well but lack in other areas. This place proves me wrong. They do it all. They have excellent sushi. I literally think about it all the time. I have not found better in this area. Their Korean food is great and much better than the other Korean places in Ithaca. The people that work here are so kind and make an effort to get to know their customers, which is admirable because I know they are busy. I suggest jjajangmyeon, kohn poong ki, and any of their stews. read more

The General Gao Tofu has been scrumptious both times I've ordered it - deliciously-fried tofu in a fiery, red sauce. Even my non-vegetarian friends were vying to get bites of my food. Tends to get busy during evenings on the weekend, and it can be hard to get seated, but I found the servers to be pleasant. It is a very no-frills establishment with minimal decor, but my girlfriend and I still found it cozy. read more
