Utica's one hope for salvation seems to lie in its inexplicable appeal to Asian immigrants. I…read morepicked up a business card for Lucky Mey's at an acceptable, if unremarkable, Thai-inspired asian restaurant where my husband and I had dinner the night before. Lucky Mey's claim to be Utica's Best Asian grocery store is definitely warranted - in fact, I don't think it would be immodest for them to claim to be CNY's best grocery store, not that the competition is stiff. At any rate, this is a lovely store and should I ever have the misfortune to find myself living in Utica (not an impossibility since I just escaped a similarly dreary place in northern most reaches of NY state), I would patronize it frequently. Especially since the proprietor was incredibly friendly and impressed by my rather prosaic purchases of palm sugar, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, thai basil, and an assortment of noodles - inquiring if I had visited Thailand and if not how I knew so much about Thai food. Given her friendliness and excellent English, were I to live in Utica, I would ask her how to prepare all the unfamiliar but delicious-looking greens that the store stocked. In addition to produce, the store has a large and well-priced selection of packaged goods, a huge freezer section that I didn't have a chance to explore, and a big styrofoam cooler filled with live eels.

When we arrived, the gentleman at the front was on a call and never made eye contact or acknowledged us. After waiting about five minutes, I was nearly ready to leave, but another staff member came in and kindly seated us. Unfortunately, the service remained very slow throughout the meal. Nearly everything took 20-30 minutes, and we eventually had to flag down staff ourselves to keep things moving. There was also an error with one of our sides, and our appetizer bread only came after we flagged someone down to ask about it. The food was actually quite good and ultimately saved the experience. Highlights were the focaccia bread, crispy fish tacos, and Brussels sprouts. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but there is significant room for improvement in efficiency, accuracy, and customer service. Several members of the team could benefit from additional training.

Love that this store has a large selection of Utica food products made by small businesses in the Utica/New Hartford/Rome area. I come when I have not gotten around to making it to the local bakeries before they closed. This time with the Labor Day Holiday the fresh Italian bread selection from our area bakeries was pretty picked over. They usually have several racks of bread from 3 to 5 local bakeries (Big O's, Napoli's, Salvatore's). Chanatry's is known not only for their large selection of local products but also their meat department, deli, and of course the opportunity to get a selfie with the Pope. Service here is very reminiscent of the 50's vibe. Lines are short and move. Baggers are readily available, butcher is available later than other stores. Truly one of my favorite stores.

Overall i think that it is slightly more expensive than I'm used to since it the slightly higher brand, which comes with it a slightly higher price. I haven't found the quality to particularly be that amazing here, but when I need an item that isn't likely to be found at the Hannaford I will go here. Also the doughnuts they have at their bakery are huge but not amazing. Kind of dry. I think I'd be more thrilled if I could get a coffee for here, but I would probably complain about the price of that too.

We loved…read morethe nostalgic, 1970s charm of the interior, but the meal itself was highly disappointing due to a major grease issue. The Food: Fried Artichoke Hearts ($7.50): Not crispy at all and very greasy. The dipping sauce lacked seasoning and just tasted like heavy oil. Snow Crab Legs ($39): 4/5 stars. A little overcooked, but overall tasty and the highlight of the meal. Fried Fish Sandwich ($11) & Fries: The bread on the sandwich was delicious, but both the fish and the fries were incredibly greasy. This spot is always packed and clearly has a loyal following, so I don't know what happened during our visit. I usually adhere to a three-strike rule before judging a restaurant, but the food was heavy enough that we won't be returning.

Amazing experience…read more Food was really good. I'd recommend for two sharing a combo boil. It's a lot of food. If you've never been to a seafood boil before, please ask your server any questions you have. Extremely helpful. We had Amy as our server. She was the best!! Lisa as the owner was an amazing support to tables around us. Definitely a team effort. Really good coordination between management, kitchen, and servers. We had the Utica Bag with all sauces. Definitely worth it. We used Uber and it tried to take us to the back of the building. The driver was kind to listen to our "no it had to be the other side of the building." Extremely clean. So many places don't wipe things down anymore. We'll be back!

The last time I dined at Red Lobster was probably around 10 years ago, and honestly, without the gift card I probably wouldn't have thought about coming back. Surprisingly, though, their newer menu had a few interesting options. We ordered the lobster flatbread and a pasta to share. The flatbread was actually pretty good and easily the highlight of the meal, with a nice amount of lobster and good flavor. The pasta, on the other hand, was pretty mediocre and tasted like something you could easily get better at almost any Italian restaurant. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food came out quickly. Overall, it worked well as a convenient and satisfying stop during our road trip.

The menu features a variety of snacks, boba tea, and traditional Nepali dishes like momos and chowmein, all prepared with fresh, authentic ingredients. The wife and I kinda stumbled upon Muju while in the area. We were heading somewhere else to eat, which happened to be closed, and we came upon Muju around the corner, saw the good reviews, and decided to give it a try. And we were glad we did. It's definitely an interesting place - you can order food at the front counter, there are tables to sit and eat, but then also an international grocery store in the middle of the building. We both ordered a tea, some Nepali spicy chicken chow mein, and an order of fried pork momo, which are their version of gyoza, or dumplings. Our food was delicious. The spicy chow mein definitely had a kick to it, but was very good. Dumplings are one of my absolute favorite foods, I usually prefer the thinner wrappers over the thicker ones - there were the thicker ones, but they were cooked so perfectly it didn't matter. Crispy outside, the meat filling inside was delicious. We're not in Utica often, but we'd definitely go back again if we were in the area,

You can get them steamed or fried in a variety of different styles/sauces. They also serve some noodle dishes and other foods and bubble teas. There are aisles of groceries from various countries, and a few chairs and tables in case you want to dine in. Also some fun miscellaneous import items. They really try to bring in a community here and welcome folks from all parts of the world. The owners collaborate with other internationally-born chefs and have other ventures like a meal sharing service app and grocery delivery. They're doing really amazing things and are worth checking out!
