Listen here listen here , I can't believe I've been here so many times and never left a review!…read moreMitsuba is hands down my favorite poke spot in the Syracuse area. I always get the salad base and my mom usually goes with the noodles -- and let me tell you, they never miss. This time, I think our bowls got mixed up a little, and mine ended up with some ah tuna. I've always been hesitant to try it since I usually stick to cooked seafood, but it was actually so good! Flavorful, fresh, and the texture was way better than I expected -- honestly, similar to shrimp. If you like shrimp, you'd probably enjoy this too. For toppings, I went with shrimp, mango, crab meat, corn, chili flakes, and a few other things (I even snapped a pic of my order card because I can never remember everything!). The poke bowls are always fresh, flavorful, and customizable, and I love that you can watch them chop everything right in front of you. This visit I also tried the crab rangoons -- they were a little too crunchy for me, and my little one even said the same (and she usually loves rangoons). My mom tried the chicken wings, which were good, but I'll personally be sticking to the poke bowls because they are the star here. The restaurant is always clean, the staff is super friendly, and the quality is consistently top-notch. If you're looking for poke in Syracuse, this is the place. Five stars for the poke bowls, no question! They do sell all type of bubble drinks as well.

This was the first time I've had Laotian food outside of Laos. I can't say how authentic it was…read moresince it's been years since I was there, but the food we ordered was delicious. Our takeout order was delivered curbside. For two, we got a small papaya salad ($5.95), a small chicken larb ($7.95), and the veggie pad lao with spring roll lunch special ($6.95). The first two also came with white rice, which was much needed given how spicy they were! Overall, the food tasted fresh; portions were on the small to average side. The chicken larb and papaya salad packed some serious heat! The pad lao was a tad too sweet to my liking, but with the sauces and a squeeze of lime, was still tasty. I'm glad we tried this restaurant in Utica.

Not sure what I was expecting but the place is pretty average. I got the lunch special (fried rice…read morewith chicken wings) and the Thai tea. My friend got iced coffee and the pho-ritto. We each paid about $12 for each of our meals. The fried rice and wings tasted like Panda Express and the pho-ritto was just a gimmick. The problem with both dishes was that they lack a solid protein. The pho-ritto ended up being rice noodles wrapped in a tortilla with the broth on the side. The drinks were okay but a bit sweet. Overall probably would not go back.

I came here with my family and we ordered a bunch of things to try such as the dry sautéed green beans, salt and pepper squid, walnut mayo shrimp, pepper steak, and dry fried fish fillet. The things to definitely try are the green beans and the pepper steak. The steak was so tender and flavorful and the green beans were also tasty as well. The other items were ordered were tasty but the portion size was rather lacking and could've been more substantial for the cost. Overall I would definitely come here again

Ordered this for a quick Dim Sum fix to our Hotel near Downtown Syracuse and it hit the spot…read more The Shrimp fried rice was a plentiful portion and well seasoned throughout. I really enjoyed the pork rolls and the absolute standout was the KFC dumplings, which we ordered as a bit of a joke, but the chicken katsu was light and fried perfectly with a well balanced spicy mayo sauce paired with it. The Shumai was not my favorite with the dumpling consistency being a bit chewy for my liking, and the Crab Rogoon (they spell it that way) was just okay, but overall, I would absolutely order from Mr Noodle and Ms Dumpling again!

Formerly, there was tasty excellence to be found here. Sadly, those days are a fond memory…read more Frequent customers of their delicious food several years ago, we gave up as it seemed the place closed - no answer to calls for takeout over months. We moved on. So be it. We were pleasantly surprised to learn they were still open (or reopened or whatever). The decor has been upgraded from a tad dreary to gaudy over-decoration. Don't really care. We're there for the takeout food. In the past, the fried rice was the best ever tasted. Made to order, bright, fresh veggies, vibrant colors, newly fried egg. Today, they had the gall to shove clumpy, (at least) day old fried rice in our takeout bag. Even the egg placed atop was day old and rubbery. Few vegetables and a desperate search for a few pieces of chicken within. Not can't-eat-it awful but certainly below average ... and don't sell me yesterday's leftovers! Same deal with sushi. Previously lip smacking now bland and prepared indifferently. The cheapness of little protein continues here. A salmon roll was stuffed with cheap, shredded veggies with a tiny, tiny strip of salmon buried within. This is the last ever visit from these diners. Deceiving customers is not a good business model.

Lotus Garden is hands down my favorite restaurant in the Greater Utica area. Although the menu is…read morepan-Asian with Thai, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Burmese, Vietnamese, and Cambodian, I was most excited to try the Cambodian and Burmese food. These last two cuisines tend to be harder to find where I live. The amok with fish was divine. The curry was spicy but also sweet. The fish was superb quality, so tender, substantial with many chunks, and so flavorful. I was floating on cloud nine savoring this amazing trip, while reminiscing about the first time I had it in Siem Reap ten years ago. The tea leaf salad was good, but could have used more flavor for my taste. However, I tend to like this dish with a stronger fish sauce and fermented taste. My kids loved the Cambodian chicken broth with thin rice noodles. They loved the light, clean soup with slices of lean meat. The interior of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful and transporting. Paintings of Angkor Wot, Buddhist statues, elephants, and other traditional art adorn the space. The booths are comfy and the bathrooms are clean. The service was super kind and attentive. Overall this is a splendid restaurant. Utica is so lucky to have such a gem!! We will surely return in the future.

They have a lot of different cocktails and mocktails to choose from, but I went with the berry spritzer mocktail which was delicious. We split the bang bang shrimp as an appetizer and we thought it was okay, but would probably try a different one next time. I got the chicken pad Thai and thought it was good; I wish I had a bottle of the sauce it came with on the side! My friends got a sushi roll (Woke Up Like This) and the drunken noodles. Both were happy with their choices. When we were done, it took a bit for our waiter to bring the check, but it had gotten busy and some large parties had entered. Besides, we were perfectly happy chatting and catching up and had nowhere to be! This is great date night spot or for a dinner out with friends! Next time, I'm trying some sushi!
