Was User at Spicy Asian a mag?
The staff was very friendly and the food was authentic! We had sharp disc fish (Sichuan), Zhong dumplings and Phoenix with dragons! All were 5/5!!! So good with reasonable price (Actually cheaper than other Chinese restaurant with similar quality). The reason I gave 4/5 is because of cleanliness especially for the relaxation room.

What User dislikes about Spicy Asian:
Came here with a large group of people and was impressed with the quality of food that we received. As someone who is asian, the food did feel quite authentic. However, at the end of our meal, we didn’t feel full despite paying over $20 a person. The portion sizes are just too small. View all feedback.
Stopped by for lunch on the way to a park. All of us enjoyed our food. Was as good as our old favorite local Sichuan place from Queens.
The staff was very friendly, and there were plenty of menu options overall. I would have appreciated a good 粥 (congee) or some 涼菜 (cold dishes), but perhaps there just isn’t enough demand for them here—or maybe you can request them even if they’re not on the menu? Overall, it’s a decent choice for Ithaca, but don’t expect the same variety or quality you might find in larger cities, such as Rochester’s Yummy Garden Hot Pot, which has an excellent selection!
The food was disappointing, and I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Chinese cuisine. We ordered the beef in hot sauce, a beef and radish casserole, and a vegetable dish. Both meat dishes were overwhelmingly salty. The beef in hot sauce was particularly disappointing, as it was nothing but salt. The casserole had decent flavors but was also excessively salty. The beef and radishes were tender, but did I mention how salty everything was? The service was minimal, which is what you typically find in similar Chinese restaurants.
Has the best food in town seriously so good
It's regular American Chinese food with some additional interesting menu items. It's all prepared very well. Fresh food and friendly service.
