5 stars is not enough. I have eaten here several times and I don’t know how it keeps getting better but it does. Sweet potato avocado roll, Aurora roll, dynamite roll A+++
Lovely place with a cozy family-owned atmosphere, some of the best sushi ive had in a long time. staff was courteous and accommodating, my order came ten minutes early. absolutely coming back next time im in ithica!!
Service was slow. We ordered beef bulgogi which was ok, sam sun noodle soup came late after the others finished their entrees. Sushi roll was fine.
I do not usually leave reviews but I had to this time. I ordered fried rice and what I received cannot be fed to anyone.
I dream about the bean paste & green tea noodles. The sweet potato sushi was phenomenal as well!
They refused to serve a customer with a service dog today and ask them to leave. This not only is a severe violation of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) but also a sad display of disrespect for those who live with disabilities. I will not eat here again.
We love it here! The food is prepared quickly and is delicious. Their dining room is cozy. Our many dining experiences here have been positive.
Amazing quaint place in downtown. Went there for dinner and was pleasantly surprised with the cozy ambience and the interesting aromas hitting your nose. I had ordered a dolsot bibim bop with chicken along with crabsticks. The staff over there are very courteous and help out with the dishes if you want recommendations. If you love asian food then Asia cuisine is a must visit!
A large variety of selection, tasty food, large portion, reasonable price, moderately good serviceWhat more can you wish? :)Btw, the Rajoki I had was very delicious! There was a great balance of favour; sweet, sour, and spicy.
We ordered 4 rolls of sushi. they were perfect. philadelphia roll, bay roll, spicy salmon, and the ithaca roll. SO GOOD! we also ordered korean style chinese fried rice with beef, and a fried-shrimp (saucy) dish , yakisoba noodle with shrimps... they were the best. reasonable price. altogether it was around $86.
I was so hungry and it was so good that I didn’t grab a photo.I got the K8 and my boyfriend had the bibimap. Both were good. I was very happy with mine. The vermicelli and beef were cooked very well.The menu is large and I feel like anyone could find something they like here. They have spicy and not spicy, seafood/meat/vegetarian/vegan.They also have Sake and Asian wine and beer.They have Korean entrees, Korean Chinese dishes, and sushi.
Amazing food and welcoming staff. Prompt service even when busy. Cozy, comfortable, and reasonable prices.
One of the better Korean cuisine in upstate NY. I am A Korean myself, but this place was definitely one of the more authentic, owned by Korean family restaurants. I highly recommend the Samsun Jjampong if you like spicy seafood.
Tried their korean bibimbap and dumpling soup. The soup was heartening and warms you up during winter. The soft shell crab is crunchy and great with the sauce provided.
Authentic! ‘nuff said.Also, the salmon melts in your mouth. Try nigiri sushi.
Best korean food in the area. Limited menu but very good. Dont let the outside fool you. Looks like a hole in the wall but soooooooo good!
One of the worst Korean food experiences that I have ever had. No side dishes were given, not even Kimchi. I ordered a Daegu Mae Un Tang. It was white soup with barely any fish, and it was tasteless. It was as if chef with no Korean food experience made the dish. Very disappointing. This is not authentic Korean restaurant, and I do not recommend this place.
We stopped in on our way through town on a road trip. The ale house was too busy and we picked this on a whim, but it was amazing!Im picky as can be with food and was at first intimidated by the menu, but there are several unspicy gems on the menu including vegetarian options. My friend enjoyed a large selection of sushi rolls and was very happy with them. The staff were kind, the food was delicious and quick, the restaurant had fans and decent a/c. Go on a weekend and park for free in the municipal lot a couple blocks away.If I ever return to Ithaca Ill be back!!
Nice Samsun Jjajang noodle, Samsun Jjampong noodle, Kkanpong Shrimp! Love them!👍❤
The best Korean food we had in Ithaca. Lot of options, especially vegetarian options. Tastes wonderful! Nice service! Highly recommended if you are in Ithaca.
We went on waterfalls road trip, and found this amazing satisfying Asian food. I have been eating salad, fries, pizza and pasta for past few day. Their spicy hot noodles soup just warm my heart. Mmmmm....My daughter has sever peanut allergy, so we have limited food choices. We ordered tofu bento box for her. She LOVE IT so much.Thank you again for saving our soul.
This is an absolutely lovely little restaurant. What they lack in space they make up for it with an expansive menu full of incredibly delicious dishes. I never worry about ordering something new from here because everything is just so tasty. The prices are fair for the food quality and portions. The staff are super friendly and attentive. If it gets really busy the service might be a little slow going, but they always seem to do a good job handling a busy dinner service.Definitely worth the trip, you won’t regret it.I know this is such a glowing review it sounds unreal but this is just my absolute favorite restaurant in Ithaca, hands down.P.S. Don’t forget to tip your wait staff people, there is literally never an excuse not to.
Oh my goodness gracious this spot is on point great sushi even as a carry out
My wife and I avoided Asia Cuisine for a long time due to the generic exterior. I want that time back. This gem has terrific food at great prices. The sushi is outstanding, including the vegetarian sushi options. It manages to be an Asian restaurant that does Korean and sushi exceptionally well. This is a popular spot with cozy tables, so be prepared for a small (~15 minutes) wait during peak hours.
A very lovely little place that offers delicious Korean, Chinese and Korean style-Chinese food.It’s also vegetarian and vegan friendly!Highly recommended this place.
MUST ORDER: C3. Ghan Jja Jang$11.95+Home made wheat noodle and specially made black bean sauce.I was incredibly impressed with the flavors here. Do yourself a favor and come. Nice staff, too!
This place just knocked my socks off. The server was very very nice and pointed out window seat after we sat at Center table. I wouldn’t have noticed and the window table was much better so we really appreciated this. The food was soooo good. The homemade wheat noodles are good. And the sushi was out of this world. So so good. We had a wonderful experience. Thank you so much!!! Can’t wait to come back!!
No sides all. Even kimchiNot typical Korean dish setting
This is seriously the best place to eat sushi in Ithaca. Their rolls are prepared consistently and are always delicious. The restaurant is small but is in a great location. The servers are friendly and helpful.If you go during the week or during the day on the weekends, they are fast and attentive to the patrons. (Weve been going there once a month for a few years now and have always had great service.) During Friday and Saturday evenings the space is too small and there arent enough servers to keep things moving quickly. (We made the mistake of going on a Saturday evening around 6pm and the service was horrible. One server for the entire restaurant. Everyone loves this place but they need more help on the weekend.) As long as you know when to go, you wont be disappointed.
One of the best food places in all of Ithaca. Their sushi rolls are very reasonably priced and amazing. Get their sweet potato roll!!! The place is very small so will be crowded on weekends, but it is worth the wait.
Hole in the wall place with AWESOME food. Best sushi in the area and my husband loves their general chicken. Good fast service.
One of the best restaurants in Ithaca. The food is unbelievable. Prices are reasonable, the staff is kind, and the service is quick. I love this place.
Absolutely fantastic place. The sesame chicken is the best I’ve ever had I highly recommend. I just wish their phone consistently connected sometimes it’s a little finicky but no worries
Probably my favorite restaurant in Ithaca. Food is superb and the price matches the quality I think. Others must think the same because its been busy every time Ive gone. Staff is efficient, I never feel rushed, and orders are always correct. Love the atmosphere- its a tiny place, but I feel like Im in someones house for dinner! Would recommend!
The food here is amazing and the people who run the place are super kind, helpful, and friendly. Ive been here many times for eat-in and take-out and the experience and food is always fantastic. They have been great with accommodating a few of my friends allergies too.
This is hands down my absolute favorite sushi restaurant in Ithaca (and probably all of upstate New York). The rolls are always filled with the freshest fish (get the spicy shrimp roll), the appetizers are unique and delicious (try the avocado salad) and the hot corn tea is killer. Service can be delayed at times but thats only because its a medium sized dining area and theyre super popular. WELL worth any wait.
My friend took me here after one of his friends took him, and it was spectacular! I had a deep fried California roll and I couldnt stop thinking about the taste for days! The waiter was very friendly and the food was a very good deal! I cant wait to go back there again sometime!
Asia Cuisine is my favorite Asian restaurant. It is small and cozy and fast service. There gralic chicken and chicken broccoli is amazing. Their sushi is probably the best in town that I have had.Definitely give it a shot if you love Asian food.
Excellent food. Best Korean barbecue AND bento boxes! They dont deliver or participate in any of the delivery services. They dont even have a real website! Its very tiny and is usually packed at lunch and dinner, with folks waiting for tables. We have eaten in the restaurant - no air conditioning! And we have gotten to-go. Always excellent!
For an Asian restaurant in upstate NY, I was pleasantly surprised! The sushi was really, really good. Our waitress even helped me out with sushi recommendations in NYC for a trip that I took with my sister and she was SPOT ON. A true gem in Ithaca. Will be back.
Surprisingly really good !!! for a place named as vaguely as “asia cuisine,” we were blown away at how good the food was. i ordered the budaejjigae and my partner ordered a roll (sunny hill, i think) and the hot and sour soup. everything was really good. i was surprised at the quality and flavor of the korean stew. also, the servers were extremely kind — we left our umbrella behind, and someone who i think was the owner(?) ran out after us for almost a whole block to return it to us. impeccable service :-) so glad to have found a new go-to asian restaurant!!
One of the very best restaurants in Ithaca. Excellent variety of options and all of it excellent. You cant go wrong ordering here.
I used to go here for sushi, which is great, until I discovered the bento box. Amazing. Lunch is cheaper than dinner, I think, and it can be chilly in the winter, but the tea they serve before the meal will warm you right up. Delicious, quick, and affordable.
Overall a really good experience. Kind wait staff, short wait time. My wife ordered a bibimbap, and was slightly surprised that we had to pay $1 for the upgrade to the hot stone bowl (isn’t that the standard serving form for this Korean dish?). My wife said the flavor was pretty bland, and could have used salt or kimchi or some other fermented/salted flavor. I ordered a MapoTofu (pork) and it was great. Although not authentic to a Chinese traditional style, we loved the flavor of this one nonetheless. Sweet, spicy, and a hearty portion of meat mixed with (medium?) firm tofu cubes, and hints of ginger and bamboo minced into the sauce base. The price was reasonable and we would definitely come back to try more dishes in the future.
Great food! As a Korean I have been to lots of Korean restaurants including in Los Angeles which has a big Korean town and in Virginia but I like this restaurant the best so far. We had bulgogi, yuk gaejang, and shrimp tempura. All food was great!
Im sure everything else thats not sushi is great. The sushi was mediocre at best. The rice used for the sushi was very soggy and the sushi itself didnt taste particularly fresh.
The sushi at Asia Cuisine is very fresh and delicious. The rice is still a tad warm when the plate reaches the table. This is the best sushi Ive found in Ithaca and in my other travels, and I plan on coming back to this restaurant every chance I get.
Omg the food here is excellent! I never had Korean food before it was sooooo good! I am definitely going back!Only thing that peeved me was the waitress demanded 15% at the time she placed the check on the table. We where already to tip more because it was so good, but we where put off on the idea that they actually demanded it. I personally would have tipped 25%-30% as it was that good, but I just feel its rude to demand a tip for anything, I mean its a restaurant, unless you live under a rock you know you normally tip.
Used to be one of our favorites but recently went for the sesame chicken which was burnt to a crisp. It consisted of barely any chicken and was basically deep fried batter, burnt to the point of being inedible, covered in sauce. I couldn’t believe it. When I complained the waiter just shrugged. Must’ve changed owners or chefs. Shame!
The service is always good and the food is amazing. I suggest the spicy seafood soup, sweet potato roll and the general chicken. O eat here quite often and have never had a bad meal.
A relatively weak Asian restaurant. The shumai and gyoza were definitely the frozen variety from a grocery store. The gyoza didnt even come with a dipping sauce. The champpong was also not particularly tasty, with the broth being pretty bland. Basically microwave quality at restaurant prices.
My wife and I ate here a day ago. We ordered noodles with beef and black bean sauce and what was supposedly a sushi and sashimi special. There was almost no beef in the noodle dish at all. Worse, the special was bits of raw fish over iceberg lettuce with a side of rice. I started eating it and stopped halfway through, realizing the “special” was clearly an attempt to get rid of old, unused fish. Too late apparently! Here we are a day later, with food poisoning.
Delicious Korean and Chinese food. Highly recommended.
Awesome menu: see photos.All the usual Korean dishes along with some Japanese (sushi!) and Chinese dishes and crossovers. Beer from all over as well as sake and, my favorite, carrot juice. Oh, and many vegetarian choices.
Amazingly delicious food! we ordered 2 entrees and 2 appetizers on a night when it was packed, and all of our food arrived within 10 minutes. so many choices on the menu and all I have tried have been superb.
I’m a sushi fanatic. I’ve eaten sushi in ten cities, and in every restaurant in Ithaca. This is the best place you are going to find. They have a large Korean menu as well. The service is excellent, the food is perfect, and the prices are reasonable. Recommend the kimchi jei yook bokum off the Korean menu, and the the Spicy sashimi salad and any of the deep fried rolls off the Japanese side.
Love this place, cheap decent sushi
Always a wonderful dining experience. wish they were open 24/7! the new york roll is one of my favorite - so simple but delicious.
Gensow is just hard bread chunks the trays smell of mold
I worked there and before I worked there I was regular customer there. While I was employed there, I have noticed some problems with a lot of people with food allergy. If you are one of those person, you have to tell waiters/waitresses regardless of whether allergen is listed on the food description or not. Owner is NOT American and not fluent in English. He sometimes miss out and miss label the ingredients. But waiters/waitresses are fluent enough in English to know the correct ingredients.
Don’t be put off by how small and simple this place is. Really great food and a huge menu. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because it’s small and busy so not the best if you want atmosphere and a relaxing night out. But the food is so worth it!
Fabulous food. We order a wonderful assortment of takeout while in town on vacation. Friendly, mask-wearing staff. The food was ready quickly. Yum.
I cant believe that I avoided this place for half a year due to the sketchy-sounding name. Its now one of my favorite Asian restaurants in Ithaca, and the homemade noodles are some of the best I have ever had. Their take-out is just as good, and seems to usually be ready in less than 10 min after it is called in.(My only minor gripe is that they need to install a curtain near the door -- every time someone opens it in the winter a blast of cold air comes in.)Update: today my fiancee discovered that the jja jang myun is so damn good it sets off the explosive detectors at the airport. Make sure to finish leftovers before going through security.
Good hearty Korean food and fresh sushi rolls. Great location by the parking building.
One of Ithacas best Asian restaurants. Very good food, very nicely presented, very nice chef and staff, very fairly priced. One of our favorites. 4.5 stars.
Food is always awesome and the atmosphere is cozy with great staff. I love the spicy vegetarian noodle soup especially, as well as the sushi!
The takeout was ready by the time we got there.👌🏼Everything was delicious and satisfactory. Will definitely be getting takeout from here again.
Just the right amount of spicy for me! (Milder than the restaurants in Collegetown)
Decades of high quality fare: sushi, jam bong, and much more. Always a good choice.
Very good Korean and other Asia cuisine. The one big issue is the small seating availability and jam packed nature of the tiny corner building. Worth it though.
I moved away from Ithaca seven months ago, and there is no restaurant I miss more.Every time I come, I could return later that day, or the next. Everything is sooooooo good.If youre thinking about it, go.
Large menu selection, quick service. Place is quite small so its not a great place for big groups, but they move people in and out pretty quickly. Pretty inexpensive meal. Lots of vegetarian options.
I will always recommend this restaurant to anyone who lives or is visiting Ithaca. A 10/10 from me - I have a hard time getting anything else when I eat out!
We had some sushi rolls, korean jampong and mandu and they were all decent. The size of the roll and mandu are smaller than normal but were good. I would give a 6-7 on the scale of 1 to 10.
Asia Cuisine is great, really good sushi (the boy loves it) and I really enjoy the fried homemade soba noodles. Always really good.
Favorite restaurant in Ithaca, bar none! Delicious food, ton of vegan options, and the friendliest service. You wont be disappointed :)
Been going here for years and have yet to be let down. A truly amazing dining experience with good prices and amazing Asian cuisine hence the name!
Great sushi and takeout is pretty fast. All the good is great and service is pretty good too. The space is a little tight but its a family restaurant.
I was happy to see menus with japanese, korean and chinese food option, food was good, service was fast than expected. i love it. i am surprised that why this place is not crowded. a must go restaurant. ;)
Best Korean Food in Ithaca Hands Down! Service is Fast and Friendly; One of the few restaurants we have never been disappointing at!!!
So frustrating..... I never had a Asian cuisine like this before... the salmon teriyaki smells very disgusting.... I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Yummy good and fabulous service!
Awesome Korean food, amazing sushi...everything is delicious. Try the seaweed salad. Anything you order will be tasty.
Good food selections and service. Would definitely recommend to incoming Ithaca visitors
I honestly believe this is the BEST restaurant in town! Asian Cuisine is great quality food and so consistent!
$15 for not even a quart of vegetable lo mein in a giant styrofoam take out box...should be like $8 at best
Everything we had was delicious. My dad said the veggies in his yaki soba were cooked perfectly.
One of the worst meals I haver had. Just didnt do it for me.
Hands down the best asian place in town.Super kind.
The Korean food was super delicious. Sushi was very fresh but not well built.
Excellent food! Excellent service. Highy recommended.
Really tasty food, pleasant and speedy service. Love this place!
Small place with few tables. Food and service was good. Enjoyed the sushi!
Love this place!!! We visit regularly, sushi is fresh and service is great.
Amazing food. Some of the korean foods are actually better than what you could get in korea.
Excellent food! Especially recommend J11, the variety sushi platter.
This place looks a little bit iffy but they fantastic food all around. Could be 5 stars if the prices were more reasonable.
Best sushi in town.Korean dishes to die for.My favorite place to go out and eat at.

Friendly people and good selection of vegetarian food.
Meh, just cheap food for college students. Not really that good. Chirashi was a significant disappointment.
They have phenomenally simple but delicious brick of tofu with ponzu sauce
I DONT NORMALLY RATE THINGS BUT THEIR SOUPS TAKE THE CAKE
Hands down best sushi in ithaca! so much better than the collegetown options
Not friendly. Wait too long to order. No utensile, napkin, sticks... there are more other options in Ithaca.
The fried noodle is too salty. Don’t know why this place is so popular
They charged us more than the peices of the menue! I do not know why they act like that!!!
Everything tastes great! Good service, clean, friendly, accommodating.
Good Chinese food. Lots of fresh vegetables, crunchy green beans!
After moving from Ithaca I miss this place almost as much as family.
Enjoyed the jjam bong. Good portion and authentic taste.
THE BEST! Amazing food , great service !
Good good, no atmosphere, but we love the place.
Good quick sushi lunch for $10.
Excellent food, limited space though.
1st place I go to everytime I made it back to Ithaca.

2022-02-12My first experience with sushi in Ithaca and not disappointed! The server was kind and helpful. The environment was busy yet still enough room for personal space between tables. Highly recommend the Aurora roll!

2021-12-05This place is a gem. Great Korean food. Everything is fresh and well made. Everything we tried was exceptional. Excited to explore rest of the menu. Highly recommended.
Review №3
2022-03-06Asia Cuisine has pretty good food (compared to other options in the area) especially their Korean and Korean Chinese dishes.What was truly exceptional last time we went was the service by the two guys working in the front. It was a Monday night and the place was very busy, but they were both very helpful and friendly in a genuine manner, and service was fast. In fact, they were very gracious about a wrong dish I ordered by mistake, and replaced it even though it was my fault.Go support this locally owned small business!
Review №4
2022-02-28Every time I walk past this place, it is always packed, and for good reason! Its so good! It was super fast, super delicious, and the service was incredible! It was cold that night and since it was packed, we started out sitting near the door. The server ended up offering us another table once one opened up, which was really considerate! I will definitely be coming back!

2022-06-07Have loved Asia Cuisine for years, but havent dined in much lately. So glad we did! The Generals chicken was crispy and spicy. The rolls were fresh, made to order, and absolutely delicious. Our server was so friendly, too! It is a small space for dining in, just a heads up. There is a single unisex bathroom. Credit cards accepted.

2021-09-05Prices were really good: smoked salmon roll, salmon avocado roll, negi hamachi roll each were 4.95. I don’t recommend the miso soup because was $2 but had nothing in it (no tofu or nori). The spicy shrimp roll for 8.95 was SO GOOD and the new york roll was 5.95 but the apple added nothing to the flavor of the roll so it’s not really worth getting. Overall pretty decent sushi place in Ithaca and I would come back because the prices and service are good.
Review №7
2022-06-24Popular and very busy eatery that serves Asian cuisine, very good and extensive menu but at a higher end for students. If you have money to burn, its easy on your wallet. Although tight and small space but can accommodate a party of 6 to 10 when not too busy, located in Utica commons, college town within Cornell university in NY. Parking garages available at a affordable rates.
Review №8
2021-08-18We enjoy small venues and this corner Korean bistro was not disappointing. I havent had Bulgogi in years. The special seasoning, slivers of celery, perfectly cooked bite sized slices of beef, and sticky white rice was a revived culinary memory.
Review №9
2022-03-10Simply the best. Everything they make is delicious. I didn’t like miso soup until I had it at Asia Cuisine. The service is great and the prices are reasonable. I’ve never had a bad experience, and I go regularly.

2020-02-23First walking into Asia Cuisine I noticed that it was small and cozy. The waitress was very kind and attentive to our party. I ordered C4 for my main entree and thought it was delicious. Also, the spicy rice cakes were a good appetizer to start out with. The food tasted authentic and I would for sure come back.
