Decent Chinese spot at Cornell, great service! I didn't have super high expectations, but the food…read morewas pretty good and our server was really friendly. 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!

Not too saucy or too starchy, comes with four broccoli pieces - scallion beef roll (7/10) the crispiness is what made up for this one- wish there was a more meat, but usually the scallion beef roll is always a good choice:)

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.

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

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!

It's also disappointing to see the owner spam facebook with posts about how their portions are small because the portions at all upscale/fine dining spots are small... Like, this place is in a decrepit mall and everyone in the front of house is under 20 and doesn't know anything about the food/drinks/high chairs/refills/etc. This is far from fine dining.

Overall a good experience and I will definitely come back and try out the dessert!
