I've posted pictures of the treats we had previously: Hot and Sour Soup, Seaweed Salad, Shredded Potatoes with Sour Spicy Sauce, Kung Po Tofu, Sizzling Japanese Tofu, Sauteed Dried String Beans, and brown rice. We ate here a year ago when we last visited Ithaca, and this was the place I was so happy to return to for dinner tonight. We couldn't be more pleased with the wonderful dinner we had. Tonight the three of us had: vegetable soup with tofu Vegan by request: Szechuan style "hot numbing" vegetables stir-fried hot pot minus meats and added tofu Vegan shredded potatoes with sour spicy sauce Vegan seaweed salad Vegetarian Singapore rice noodle with tofu instead of meat (can be made vegan upon request by omitting egg) Vegan brown rice

Solid hot pot + amazing Sichuanese. De Tasty is a staple for Cornellians and Ithaca folks alike…read more The hot pot is comforting and consistent. The broth could be more flavorful. Garnishes (veggies, noodles, mushrooms) are a bit sparse but adequate for a small solo pot. They have a small sauce bar on the side for $2 as well. Sichuanese here is always a hit and very authentic. Highly recommend the Mapo Tofu or Spicy Fish Stew. The family-style portions are perfect for sharing. Would recommend the entrees here over the hot pot. Prices are reasonable given the portion sizes and quality. HEADS UP: There is a 15% service charge automatically included in the check. Perfect place for large family/friend outings and cold snowy days. Will definitely be coming back

Tough not very flavorful meat, and just unfrozen, not good quality seeming seafood. We asked for our money back, and they seemed annoyed, and like they didn't want to give us a refund.

What a sweet family owned place, super authentic Chinese eatery, I love how the lady (probably the…read moreowner) only spoke Chinese, to me that means it's a legit place. She gave us a donut and warm soy milk, there's also free peanuts, candy and fruit. The hospitality is outstanding and it's 1000000 stars for that alone. We got chicken and chive fried dumplings, soup dumplings and what we thought was Jajangmyeon but it wasn't and it was just a 'pork and sauce noodle' dish, it didn't have any black bean sauce. I also forgot to ask for sauces and ginger so idk if they even had that but it needed it. Parking is a mess and it's more of a walking town, there's tables and it's a lot like a food court inside.

Incredible hidden gem with some of the best, freshest dumplings and lovely service. Tucked away in…read morethe corner is this stall that serves a variety of homestyle Chinese dishes, most notably their dumplings. They offer a variety of fillings and the dumplings are made fresh to order, along with a selection of condiments such as chili oil and garlic sauce. In addition to fresh dumplings, you can also order frozen dumplings to go. Service was wonderful, with a lovely owner who has trays of little snacks and peanuts for free. I absolutely adore this place and look forward to coming back.

Recs/what we ordered: - chicken with snow peas: 4/5; decent but not super authentic - sautéed green beans: 4.5/5; pretty authentic - veggie & tofu dry hot pot: 3.5/5 This spot gets really popular during the school year with students, so it's a solid option in the area. Happy with our experience and would recommend if you're looking for a homey meal!

The food reminds me of the New York City Chinese restaurants (the food tastes fabulous). The vegetarian chow fun came with soy sauce, mung beans, baby corns, snow peas, sliced white mushrooms, and sliced carrots. Joseph ordered Garlic Chicken. He says it tastes fine. The services rates an A+. We did not have to wait for long to get our food. A small eatery, Ling Ling offers 3 table for customers to eat in. We will definitely return to Ling Ling soon.

It's true.. it's like I don't know if it's like some kind of network, but I feel like the type of ingredients and stuff that people Chinese food places that have this particular identical menu are the same. It's like I trust it. Anyway, I mean.its not fine dining but everything I've had was good and decent. Mooshu chicken, wonton soup, pan fried dumpling ms and some general Taos are my go tos. Reasonable lunch and dinner special. Honestly enough for two meals if you're a thrifty college student. Never had to wait too long. The ambiance in this place is that of a bodega or White Castle in NYC at 2 AM. (They're not open that late though). I'm here for it. Don't judge me.
