Reviews for Hai Hong Restaurant in Ithaca, NY
Good food at a reasonable price. Large menu has something for everyone. I especially recommend the steamed dumplings.
Never ever would I go to this place again. Went there about 6 months ago and owner got into an argument with the table next to... us and was obviously the owners fault. He gave them the wrong order and when pointed out by the customer, became argumentativeinstead of fixing it. Next, our orders took approximately 90 minutes and was not very crowded that evening. Dumplings were justmeh (comparing to downstate). Then told that our scallion pancakes would not be coming because they were out of ingredients,which we were fine with. Then 30 minutes later brought them out? Tasted pretty much like playdoh with zero scallions. Seemslike they didn?t want to lose the money even though they were out of one of the key ingredients. Then forgot to bring out oneof the dumplings order, but was charged for it. Owner was really inappropriate throughout the night. Read more
It is with a heavy heart that I write this review to mourn the loss of the best dumplings in Ithaca. Years ago, Peking had... perfect dumplings- they were the standard against which I measure all other dumplings, and few have come close. There must havebeen some relation between Peking and Hai Hong, because the dumplings Hai Hong served until recently were quite similar to theperfect Peking dumplings. But the dumplings at Hai Hong have changed, and while some people may still find them appetizing, theyare no longer themselves. They have lost their spark. They are just another derivative dumpling in a sea of bland Ithacanofferings. The same boring dumpling can now be had from a dozen Asian restaurants in the area. And the world is sadder for it.

The food was excellent, but pricey. Steamed Sea-Bass and eggplant were great, but the bill was a surprise. To be fair, we... didn?t look for the price of the Sea-Bass, we just ordered, which is on us. The restaurant was nice and clean, the furnishingsare ordinary. We would visit again. Read more

Delicious food in an inviting venue. First Chinese restaurant I've had in collegetown, and already a favorite. The soft-shell... crab is nice and tender, and the Peking duck is absolutely divine! Rich and fatty like it should be, with the crispiest skin.The servers are so polite, and the food is always on point. Not to mention the traditional dim sum courses. Xia Long Bao hereare tasty but could have a thinner wrapper. Read more
Best Chinese restaurant in Ithaca, hands down. Food is made with love, dim sum is available daily and they also offer a full... Vietnamese menu from their sister restaurant next door. There's something for everyone here! Read more
I?ve had dim sum in many places including Hong Kong. This place has dim sum which was exceptional. Not as inexpensive as I?m... used to but the taste made up for it. I will definitely go back! Read more
