Yeah the mango sticky rice is where it's at!!…read more Wife and I got a table for dinner. Not a huge place but it was packed. We kinda felt sorry for the staff who were running back and forth like crazy. We ended up just getting a bunch of apps for our dinner. Weren't that hungry and that worked well. The satay chicken, dumplings, and edamame were great. And then my wife ordered the mango sticky rice. Yes, it was very well worth it!!! The only thing we weren't too fond of was the noise. Again, small place that was packed. It was really loud. But we'd go back in a heartbeat.

Always the superior Thai spot. It may not be as packed as Taste of Thai or Thai Basil, but it is…read morewhere the Asian folks (and Thai natives) all go. Their Thai tea is far better than Thai Basil, as is their food. When I organized events with the Cornell Southeast Asia Program, Tamarind was my preferred catering as well. Best pad see ew in town, with the perfect noodle texture and rich flavor (from wok energy). Love the coconut sticky rice dessert (and the gifted ceramic dishes which come with). Also highly recommend the mango sticky rice. Non-spicy: Yellow curry, Pad See Ew, Pad Thai. Spicy: Green curry (had it with chicken, duck) My only concern is how understaffed it often is. Usually one staff member to manage the whole floor, and kitchen staff in the back. And once a phone order was missing a dish (probably due to the poor single person managing the whole floor as cashier, host, wait staff, etc). This often sets take-out orders back as well. Usually on slower days, it's fast (20 mins). On bad days...like Cornell graduation weekend, it will take an hour+. I think there was a huge group of over a dozen in the tiny restaurant, ordering lots of food & drink. Came in to pick up at the time projected & sadly had to hang out at the restaurant an extra 30 mins + because of the overwhelmed staff. Let's hope they tipped generously! I would love to dine in one day, if they ever set up a table outdoors. In the meantime, for takeout, ALWAYS call to check on your order, given how busy & behind on orders they often get. The food is still worth us coming back again and again!

Love that attitude! She did say her food was better than unnamed place and she backed it up! Great Vietnamese staples with a pseudo--authentic twist. Example being the Bun Bo Hue, which is slightly "Americanized" for the Yinz - same spiciness and flavor but no funky meat options. Tasted very authentic and the fresh roll was excellent. Pricing was fair for 2026, and the ambience was basic and no-frills, not a bad thing. Will be returning and recommending other friends visit this spot - glad we made the mistake!

Mia is an Asian Fusion shop on Aurora Street in Ithaca. This area is noted for some compelling…read moredining venues so a chef needs to bring his A Game to compete in this neighborhood. In the case of Mia, Executive Chef Yuttanun Nakaranuruck has crafted a superb mix of flavors and spices to fuse together the tastes of Japan, China, Thailand, and India into a unique and captivating menu. Mia has a sophisticated interior decor that holds fewer than ten tables. They don't take reservations (I would suggest they ought to do so) so one might have to nurse a beverage at the bar while waiting for a table. They do have outdoor seating behind the store but, in 90 degree heat, this was not a very appealing option. In the event, we were fortunate to claim a freshly vacated table and so our evening began without a hitch. This is a Pan-Asian tapas store that does offer larger plate options but the small plates variety and flair makes tapas the obvious choice. We were greeted by Andrew, and Englishman who made his way to the Finger Lakes and chose not to return to Bedfordshire. His service was attentive, punctual, and he offered insight into an interesting if unusal assortment of Asian fusion offerings. Our evening began with Hendricks extra dry Gibsons up before transitioning to the Argiano Winery Super Tuscan which is a delectable blend of French Cab and Merlot with Tuscan Sangiovese. It conveys dark cherry, raspberry, and plum with an earthy underbrush before yielding to a velvety finish. Argiano has made this a staple of their cellar and it never ceases to satisfy. Moreover, when confronted with a bold menu such as Mia's, this full bodied wine has more than enough muscle to stand up to Thai, Chinese, and Indian tapas. At Andrew's suggestion, we selected the Prawns in Kerala curry with Japanese eggplant, Thai sun-dried beef with sticky rice, braised pork belly in a star anise and ginger soyu, and sautéed Asian greens with a mushroom garlic soyu & truffle oil. This blend of tapas complemented each other perfectly and more than sated our hunger. Having said which, their limited yet thought-provoking sleection of desserts was compelling and we finished with an Asian twist on Creme Brulee with double espressos with a twist. Mia is an interesting venue with an engaging selection of intriguing dishes. We believe it merits your attention.

We both actually love vegan-inspired restaurants so we happily made a reservation and came to celebrate a new job while on a girl's trip. Parking was a bit of a hassle for us having arrived in town after dark and not knowing the area. We eventually found some parking on the street about 2-3 blocks away but it looked highly sketchy and walking back around 9:30 pm seemed sus. The restaurant is smaller than expected but cozy and our server was great. My friend has a soy allergy so, it limited what she could have from the menu a bit but this is what we had: -Elote Corn Hummus - 10/10 - soooo good -Veggie Lasagna for my friend - loaded with eggplant which she loves -Green Curry for me - spicy! But good. Loads of cauliflower. I had a coffee with cream and sugar for dessert and they feature the local Gimme Coffee brand which was strong and delicious with some creamer in it. My friend had the Peach Cheesecake and loved it. I did try it and it was tart, fresh, and the crust was A+. Loved this meal - it's highly expensive for vegetarian but we knew that going in. It was fun to have a fine dining feeling with a vegetarian twist. Worth it!

Naturally, the Thai Green Curry was a must-try -- and a good call it was. Only downside: the portions ran on the small side.
