We had a great time here for dinner. So much so that we came back the night after. The lotus root fritters were our favorite and are a must try. It was appreciated how many items were vegan or could be made vegan. The selection made it exciting to come back a second time with friends to try new items and have them share our favorites. The cocktails and dishes were truly unique and absolutely delicious!

Delicious food! We ordered 3 small plates each, and they were all packed with flavour and texture. The lotus root fritters and Asian greens (mini bok choy) were standouts. I also really enjoyed my plum cocktail. Great experience eating at Mia.

Love this place. One of the best spots in town in my opinion. We’ve been 3 times, gotten small plates, and everything has been amazing.

Surprisingly good tapas place! Recommend: crispy duck entree. Many good appetizers like braised pork belly. Desert is average though

A few days ago I was able to visit Mia for the first time. I'm very glad we decided to give it a try. Upon arrival, even on a weekday afternoon, the restaurant was packed. We were greeted, however, with a friendly staff member who told us we could be accommodated at the bar. The first impression of Mia was that they had a staff that knew what it meant to serve and be hospitable; skills, and character traits, that have been lost by many at this point in time. Our bartender(server) was very knowledgeable and not only was attentive, but made recommendations. The menu is rather involved, so we appreciated the assistance. Due to time constraints I won't give a full run down of what we ordered, but, I will say, we were extremely impressed with the quality, creativity, and the care that was taken with each dish and drink. A standout... the chicken wings! I never thought I would order chicken wings in a fine dining establishment, but I am so glad I did. The wing was just a conduit for an incredible delivery of flavors. My wife doesn't eat chicken wings... but wanted a second order! The other items riveled the level of quality and impressiveness. For timing reasons, I'll flash forward to dessert a Thai banana cake that, upon arrival, made us question our order. It was displayed fine, but didn't look like cake. But after we took a bite with the accompanying banana slices and the slurry of homemade caramel, we all had our spoons add the ready for bite number 2! Unbelievably delicious! All in all, we were more than satisfied with all aspects of this little gem on The Commons. Common it is not, and we'll be back.

Wow what a great place. We had a bunch of the small plates and they were all delicious. The chicken satay skewers and the paneer were standouts. The vibe was great and all the staff were super friendly and attentive and kind. Our server Jake was awesome he felt like a friend by the time we left.

Wow! What a gem! My boyfriend and I happened upon Mia while visiting Ithaca and were thrilled with our meal! The back patio is really cute! We opted for small plates and loved the flavours in each dish (coconut shrimp, beef lemongrass skewers, stir fried bok choy). We're still talking about how delicious the pork belly was. That broth! We had the Thai coffee creme brulee for dessert and it was a yummy take on a classic! Thank you Mia for a wonderful dining experience we won't forget!

Tapas places hold a special place in my heart, and this place takes an interesting twist on the concept with asian tapas. It does an awesome job of having a variety of small dishes and larger ones for a traditional experience, but I only tried a lot of small ones. However, every single tapa i tried was delicious and used great quality ingredients. The service was good and the staff were super attentive and helpful in choosing what I should get. Great spot.

Loved our experience here. Ploy was a super friendly host and worked hard to make sure everyone was taken care of. Beautiful chandeliers! Art and ambience adds to the charm. But the food is the star of the show. So glad to meet "mom" who ran the original thai restaurant we went to when we lived here 30 years ago!❤️❤️ Chat say enough good things..we came for our 30th wedding anniversary.🎂🎉

Mia’s was a treat. There were plenty of vegan and GF options in addition to the non veg offerings. We sat on the covered patio in the back as the main dining room was very cold. Camila, our server, was very attentive and provided excellent service. The food was outstanding, and we especially enjoyed the lotus root fritters. They were so good I had to ask to make sure they were vegan/gf! Treat yourself to this family owned and run delight in Ithaca.

I went to Mia for dinner with my boyfriend while visiting Ithaca for the weekend, and we were totally blown away! We sat at the bar since the dining area was completely full, and Will the bartender took great care of us. We tried the pork belly bao buns with tamarind sauce (they were perfect), clams with Thai basil and a sweet and spicy sauce that we mopped up with fresh baked naan, and also got the roast duck with Chinese 5 spice Demi glacé. All were wonderful and unique and cooked to perfection. We each enjoyed a cocktail with dinner that were expertly crafted, and enjoyed an after dinner beverage with the most delicious crème brûlée flavored with Thai iced coffee. We agreed it was some of the best food we have ever had, and the service was excellent. Our only regret was that we didn’t try more. We will be back on our next visit!

Mia was busy and seated is at the bar and then opened up a table before we ordered just for us. Very helpful. Offered in shifts to see if we were still hungry and had great Chans clams and the rest was good.

My wife - who is celiac- and I really enjoyed our meal here. We ate outside on an early Friday evening on the small patio which is part of the Ithaca Commons pedestrian street. By the time we left, the restaurant was full inside and out. However, our service was quick and attentive. We too were asked about allergies when we arrived and my wife found that there were quite a few gluten-free choices. Moreover, the server was able to warn about a couple of items that were fried in a shared frier. In any case we had a delicious meal. We ordered two tapas and one entree to split between us and this was quite filling. All three came with plentiful sauces so we ordered two sides of jasmine rice to soak up the yummy sauces. The chicken satay with peanut sauce was enjoyable but not out of this world. The Prawns in southern Indian Kerala curry w/ Japanese eggplant was a significant step up and was served again with a plentiful and delicious sauce that was slightly spicey. However, the best was yet to come! The entree Karee Gai - Thai yellow chicken curry with potatoes was really, really good. This kind of curry is typically served with cubed chicken but not here. Instead, it was a large moist chicken breast that sat in a sauce that had a lot of layers of taste to it. We wanted to gobble it but ate it slowly to get every nuance out of it. We highly recommend trying this place!

We had a great experience here. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. My fiancé has severe food allergies, and we felt completely comfortable eating here. The first thing our waitress asked was if anyone had any allergies or dietary restrictions. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and what he could eat safely. Everything we tried was great. We recommend the sweet potato fries and the roast duck! The cocktails were just okay, but we didn’t mind because everything else was so yummy and the staff was so attentive, competent, and kind.

Consistently good food and a welcoming experience. We started with the lotus root fritters and the warm soba, both were excellent. We came back to have the dahl since it was soo good in our previous visit. I had the Kerala curry which was vegan and delicious. This will be our regular date night place.

We had an exceptional dinner! Pros were the food and flavor of everything, cons were the environment/atmosphere. We got there around 6:30 and the place was packed. While being busy, we did not have to wait and were seated right away. The tables were super close together and not only was it too loud in there to be able to hear each other across the table, but we also ended up moving because the person next to us open mouth coughed on us (which is not the restaurants fault, but made worse by how close we were. That said, the staff was really accommodating and moved us to the bar when we asked. We ordered the sweet potato truffle fries and they were amazing. The fry was perfect, texture was fluffy and crunchy and they held their shape. It also came with a Sriracha aoli that was an incredible pairing. I ordered the yellow cherry seabass and my partner got the ribeye special (the photo I'd blurry because we were so excited to eat I rushed and forgot to look at it). Both of the proteins were cooked too perfection. The fish was soft on the inside with a crispy skin, covered in the next curry I have had in Ithaca. The steak was another level. The fat (which was not an overwhelming amount) was perfectly rendered and melted in your mouth. The cook which he ordered medium-rare was perfectly pink and the curry again was phenomenal. It was so flavorful and did not hide the flavor of the meat but instead enhanced it. It's only unfortunate quality is that it is not always on the menu. We will be going back!

Honestly one of the best wonton soups i have ever had. It was extremely flavorful and honestly set the mood for the rest of the meal. Honestly will probably just call and order the soup to go. Everything else was great but man that soup!! 🤌 Chef kiss

Oh...we ate too much! What a great dining experience. What an amazing pallette of flavors was presented to us today. This is definitely one of the best restaurants here in Commons. No description is necessary, just take a look at these photos! Both service and food were outstanding!

Firstly, huge shoutout to the waiter wearing glasses as he was extremely courteous and helpful. We ordered a bunch of appetizers ( such as the roast duck puff pastry & mussels) and they were all great. It is definitely one of the better restaurants in Ithaca. Also, great prices for sure. We ordered a ton of food and it came out to a very reasonable price. Would come back again.

The vibe of this place feels very refined, I suspect that should come from the description itself, and the servers are top-notch in their hospitality. Furthermore, the food is very well prepared but slightly a bit too sweet. I loved my time there and would definitely go again. Definitely try the lotus root fritters and southern Indian style prawns. They are done really well.

I was really excited to try this place. The outstanding reviews definitely made me want to come. Unfortunately my experience wasn't the best. The seabass was waaaayyy over done. Sauce was super sweet and super salty and asked for it to be spicy. The duck samosas. Awful so dry..but hey if u like cardboard..its got your name written on all over it. The hot pot flavorless..I didn't have any but my friend said it was really bland. Camille our waitress was awesome..she was accommodating and friendly..best part of my experience there.
