We ordered the West Lake beef soup and double meat with rice (roast pork and roast duck). They were both delicious and great portions for two. The restaurant is nice and clean with aesthetic decor. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone who enjoys cozy chinese food for dinner.

Hands down this is the best Chinese in Ithaca and one of the best I've had worldwide. Fresh, bountiful and priced right not to mention superior quality. Wherher visiting Cornell or attending University, this is a must in your rotation of culinary eats

Food is decent. Service is good but didn’t appreciate that they automatically added tip (we have less than six people) and didn’t tell us.

Looking forward to trying more dishes! Love the size of the chicken pieces in the pepper chili chicken dish— perfect amount of meat with a little crunch, and the cilantro is tasty. I think more flavor from added garlic would add depth and be great; it’s sized and cooked well but the flavor is just chili and cilantro. 辣子鸡很好吃但需要加大蒜来增加味道。 Overall impressed by their menu.

Beef Chow Fun was good. Love the wide noodles and tender beef. Good portion as well. Enough tables inside. Dishes were served fast.

Food is good! Came quickly and in good portions. Service was welcoming and accommodating. I wish they would have given us more large spoons for the dishes - so we wouldn't have to use our personal spoons. The table was also not cleaned and felt a little sticky.

Fried rice was okay. Not a lot of flavor and the shrimp was a weird mushy texture. Not terrible, just probably wouldn't order again.

I'm so upset . Yesterday my husband and I got the tangerine beef and we are sick ! We have food poisoning and the reason I'm so upset is because I LOVE this place ! We order at least twice a week. Will I order from here again ? Yes . But I will not get beef anything. Shrimp and chicken are amazing.

We ordered thru Uber Eats. First off, the "taxes and fees" were so expensive. I ordered Garlic Eggplant Casserole. It dies not fit the description of a casserole. It consisted of the eggplant and the garlic sauce, nothing else. Rice on the side. The garlic sauce was too sweet. It did not describe the sauce other than garlic. My husband's food was bland. We spent $87 including all the fees and food. We got 6 items. SO DISAPPOINTING THE WHOLE EXPIERENCE. NEVER AGAIN. I felt ripped off.

You want flavor? Learn how to cook some Chinese/ Thai/Korean food at home! Google is your best friend. The blandest and most oily food you’ve ever had: it’s no wonder no one goes out in Ithaca. Don’t call it chili spot if you don’t bring that flavor. Consistently boring and flavorless. Go to Rens market and learn how to make anything for yourself.
