Wow the reviews for this place are kinda low? I think this restaurant is actually really delicious…read moreand flavorful for more traditional Chinese cuisine. 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!

Must stop spot for hot pot!…read more I have always been a fan of red chili, but I've finally had the chance to do hot pot, and it was amazing. I try not to ever be the person showing up too close to closing time, but we were craving it and made the decision to go there and eat as fast as we could or else order to go to minimize being "those people". Well they were relatively busy for a Monday night, and yet they served us quickly and kindly as usual. We even said we know there's other groups here but we will be as fast as possible and they were very kind and patient with us regardless! As for the food- the lo mein my partner got was of course delicious and reliable. My hot pot was incredible, and with ridiculously generous portions of food. The restaurant as always is clean, pleasant, and of course fun to stop on the way in or out and say hello to the turtles and fishes. Always worth a stop in to this great restaurant!

I was visiting Syracuse for work and I typically seek out authentic Szechuan places when visiting…read morenew cities, so when scoping out my options here I found a few places that seemed to be legit. I did find a person who visited this one and another one, Jianghu Café and so I asked her if I could only visit one, which do I do, and she said Jianhghu was the winner winner Szechuan lunch. I did go there and it was great! But I found myself having one additional dinner time without plans, so I came here as well. Walking in, I noticed what appeared to be a common Asian Massage Parlor next door, yo uget to it via the entry way that bring you here as well. Kinda odd, but it didn't bother me. Walking into this restaurant, it's very nicely laid out and beautifully décor'd! The servers and staff spoke great English and were very helpful, especially when answering questions about their menu. I started with their Garlic Cucumbers, but I asked for them to be spicy and Wow, they did a GREAT job with them! They weren't very hot, but so much spiciness and flavor - I loved them! Next up was to get their cumin chicken. They do cumin style in all their proteins, which makes for some great options. I chose their basic fried rice to come with this. The fried rice and cumin chicken were both amazing... Perfectly spiced and loaded with flavor. There were several Szechuan peppercorns in the dish, which added to the aroma and flavor of the dish. Overall - I really like this dinner! While I do feel Jianghu is slightly better, this is amazing as well!

Whenever somebody comes to syracuse and wants to go to a nice restaurant I am always recommending lemon grass. We went last night for a birthday and as usual we had a great time. Our waitress was great (Gina I believe) and the ambiance is amazing. It is such a beautiful space outside and inside. If you are on the fence to go, you should. There are so many options. Everyone loved what they got. I wish I could come here more often!

I stopped by with a large group (around 20 people) on Thursday night. We were taken straight to a…read moreprivate room so we had a lot of space with two waiters assigned to our table. The restaurant itself was such a large space with nice seating. Service throughout the meal was good but a bit slower. For appetizers, we had plates laid out for us to grab from. The eggplant items and spring roll I think were the best. We all got a large plate of salad which felt very generic with no Thai flavors. For my main, I chose the chicken in red curry. The curry was good, a bit mild though. The chicken itself was a little bit dryer than I was hoping for but flavor was good. I do also wish they had more veggies in the dish as well but the ones that were in there were well cooked. It would have been nice if there was more eggplant and hopefully also some bamboo shoots as well. Finally, for dessert I had the warm chocolate cake. The cake was tasty - basically just a chocolate lava cake. Additionally the ice cream it came with was a nice addition. All in all, a fine meal option in the area.

I go to Firudo quite often and as long as you know what to expect, you won't be disappointed…read more The main draw of Firudo is the "all you can eat" sushi for 26.95 (plus an added fee if paying by card). I gotta say, it's one of the best deals in the 315. Does Firudo serve the best sushi I've ever had? No, not even close but it's definitely good enough for the price you're paying. The AYCE also comes with a couple caveats. You're limited to 10 pieces of sashimi and 10 pieces of sushi- you can get as many maki/hand rolls as you'd like. So keep that in mind. I've never had a wait at Firudo and the staff is attentive. It's very clearly a family run business, which I appreciate. As long as you don't go expecting Jiro dreams of sushi, I think you'll have a great meal.

My fiancé and I continue to go back because they offer…read moreall you can eat appetizers, hibachi plates, and sushi for $26.95 (cash price/card has a fee). I feel like the place is never terrible, but also never amazing. The water tastes a bit chemically (like water with a bit of the cleaner in it) and the soda also never tastes great. I would say to go when you're not in a rush cause the service is also hit or miss. The last time they barely checked in on the table for refills or if we wanted to order more. I will say, I get the Syracuse roll and the Salmon Lover roll almost every time and they're always decent for me. The fried rice has always been fine too. My fiancé always gets the chicken katsu and enjoys it. If you go in with low expectations, then it will probably be better than expected!

I've never actually eaten here in person but I've ordered delivery from here many times. Out of…read moreeverything the Mochiko chicken is absolutely my favorite! It's so juicy and flavorful and makes a great lunch when you're having a bad day. I also have tried their karaage and it is good but I'm not a fan of ginger too much and there is a ginger undertone to it as expected of karaage which is why I prefer the Mochiko more. I would also probably skip the spam musubi as I do think the spam to rice ratio is a bit much, perhaps just lessen up on the rice. Overall, I do enjoy getting delivery here and will definitely order from here many, many more times.

It's always a great place for a more affordable option, so sometimes I meet with friends here as well. The one thing I have been so sad to see go is they used to have the absolute best Pandan Bubble Tea. I couldn't find this flavor anywhere else--and now not even here. :( For now for my bubble tea fix I go for a taro. The consistency is always creamy, light, sweet and the tapioca has a good flavor. It is important to note this tea has a lot of sugar, and is more of a dessert than something to have often. The service here is always kind, interior is clean. Easy parking.
