In fair weather, we frequently make the trip to the southern end of Cayuga Lake from Binghamton…read more It's a lovely drive, but the destination is supreme. The BoatYard is one of our most special places. We go there for birthdays, anniversaries, and just to treat ourselves to something we realy look forward to. The food, service, atmosphere, and lake view are delightful. We go mostly in the warm seasons because we prefer dining outside. Expect superior fare and service that are well worththe price. Try it, and I feel comfortable in predicting that you'll return frequently as well.

Mediocre service and rather salty food…read more No reservations and had to wait quite a bit. After being seated, we had to wait longer than expected for our drinks and water. For mains I ordered the crab stuffed shrimp. They were fine- shrimp was slightly overcooked, and overall a tad salty for my liking. Overall, I will likely not return.

This place used to be amazing. They have recently changed from "Maru Ramen" to Maru Korea "…read more Not sure if they changed ownership (I believe they did) but the new place is mediocre at best. Maru Ramen served homemade noodles and broth. You could taste the love and care that went into the food. Now, as "Maru Korea" , the food is incredibly underwhelming. The noodles come from a package (confirmed) and the broth tastes like it does to. Some of the dishes are decent but even as traditional Korean dishes go....still underwhelming. I've eaten Korean cuisine regularly for 24years....this place would be equivalent to the Korean food you would get if there was a Korean version of McDonald's.

Good Jajjangmyeon in Ithaca!…read more My parents recommended this spot to me- and they are very particular about their Asian food. They absolutely hated Kimchi. I finally got around to trying Asia Cuisine though must admit I was a bit hesitant given their extensive menu (I feel like if a restaurant offers too many types of cuisines the quality takes a hit). However, I was pleasantly surprised! I had been craving jajjangmyeon (I had it once at Koko's but it was not good) and ordered Asia Cuisine's C3 green tea noodle w jajang sauce. The noodles were delicious! Al dente and the slightest hint of green tea flavor! The jajang sauce was a tad oily and not super traditional, though I still enjoyed it- especially the addition of onions! Service was okay. Nothing exceptional. While I haven't tried any of their other menu items, I would recommend their green tea noodle jajjangmyeon!

Pretty straightforwardly named Asian cuisine. They offer a combination of Chinese Japanese and Korean food. I had a tasty Bulgogi bento box which had tempura, a California roll, japchae, salad with ginger, purple multigrain rice and of course the delicious bulgogi. It's a casual atmosphere with friendly service. We honestly walked in cause we overheard several people saying it was better than "this", "this", and "that". But honestly the aroma from the kitchen was enough to draw me in. Definitely tasty, fresh, well portioned and highly recommended.

I've heard amazing things about Mia from my friend, but unfortunately it didn't hit the mark for…read moreme. For a place with a unique menu, I found the food pretty standard and underwhelming. Ambiance is nice, service was just okay. Recs/what we tried: - sweet potato fries ($8): 4/5; pretty good, but tasted pretty standard - good for sharing, very filling. - braised pork belly ($13): 2/5; this dish was too oily for my liking, between the pork drenched in a sauce and the toasted bun - portion size was also way too small, and barely came with any meat. - panang curry ($20): 5/5. my friend's favorite that he orders every time; great option for vegetarians. - most of the desserts we've tried here weren't impressive; would skip them. Overall, I'm not sure I'd recommend - I personally didn't find too many things I liked the menu.

The staff are friendly and attentive, and they gave us a complementary fried seaweed roll too. We got the Fish Tofu Soup which came in a large pot to share. It was hearty and warming to the soul with lots of fish chunks (be careful of the bones). The Eggplant with ground pork could use a bit more umami but was decent overall. I enjoyed their Crispy Duck in Spicy Sauce. The sauce was sweet and spicy, and accompanied the flavors of the duck well. There were lots of bones though. Overall, great options on the menu, and I would recommend coming here if you are craving Chinese food.

I also particularly enjoyed the curry potato banchan that had a hint of sweetness to the savory flavors, but the others (boiled broccoli, bean sprouts, fish cakes) were just ok.
