The Best Sesame Chicken in Upstate NY

The picture speaks for itself.

You are welcome to disagree with me, but I truly believe that Asia Cuisine Korean & Japanese Restaurant in Ithaca, NY has the best sesame chicken (Korean Style) in upstate New York to ever grace my lips. This is not your run-of-the-mill local neighborhood Chinese buffet sesame chicken (unless of course you do live in or near the Ithaca Commons, then well...lucky you).

These are juicy yet crispy yet tender little nuggets of chicken in a red spicy sauce from heaven. Yeah, it's that good. When you order in for this dish you also get some tea...I thought it was green tea at first, but does not taste like green tea...kinda tasted like rice actually...anywho. If anyone does know the name of the tea, kindly leave a comment below to educate me.
When you order this dish in, you also receive a side of rice and a variety of kimchi. What is kimchi exactly? It is a Korean condiment made of fermented vegetables with a variety of spices. (Thank you Wikipedia). I encourage you to not be a ninny and try the stuff, you may surprise yourself and actually like it.  


It's a bit of a hole-in-the-wall type of place, but who cares really? The food is phenomenal.

Also Asia Cuisine has a HUGE selection on it's menu with daily specials. 

Jared had the Smoked Salmon Roll, California Roll and Tuna Roll (8 pieces a roll).

What: blow-your-mind good Sesame Chicken & a whole host of really yummy Asian dishes
Where: 126 N. Aurora St., Ithaca, NY (in the Ithaca Commons)
