Big portions that are reasonably priced and several tables for large groups. It's in a former Chinese grocery and the decor wasn't much of an upgrade. The spice level is milder than most Szechuan restaurants (it probably doesn't help that my Mandarin isn't very good). I had the boiled fish which was very good and the fried beef with cumin which was surprisingly sweet.

The restaurant itself is clean, the staff here was polite, and the food here was cheap. We ended up buying a ton of food to take home for our family and we walked out spending under $50. We bought two large fried rices, chicken wings, two orders of fried scallops, fried crab sticks, egg rolls and spring rolls. Everything was cooked perfectly, nothing we bought was incredibly greasy, and we ended up ordering our food and walking out within fifteen minutes. The final plus was that we got a two liter of soda free with our order. In the end, we loved our meal and we would definetly eat here again in the future.

I wish the menu provided more details about what was included in each dish. When I tried the Kung Pao Chicken, I bit into something twice that caused a strong burning sensation in my mouth. I'm still not sure what it was, because it looked like chicken at first. I also ordered the Orange Chicken and the General Tso's Chicken (extra spicy), but neither dish was spicy at all, or fresh tasting. All chicken dishes were drowned in bland sauce. Since it was our first time and we weren't sure how the food would be, we decided to order from the lunch menu. In hindsight, we all regretted that choice and felt we should have tried something else instead.

The food was improperly packaged so half of one container was dumped over all of the other containers with sauce leaking through the bag. The shumai were bad - they smelled straight-up wrong and they looked 100% like they were microwaved from a freezer bag. The rest of the food was so flavorless I actually went and did a Covid test just to make sure what was happening was real. The only thing that was fine was the rice, though white rice is kind of hard to mess up. Chicken & broccoli had no flavor, the general tso's tofu had no flavor, and the Mongolian beef tasted like they cooked the parts of the beef that were the most rubber-like without any seasoning. Overall, will never order from here again. Regret leaving a tip online when I ordered.

Solid hot pot + amazing Sichuanese. De Tasty is a staple for Cornellians and Ithaca folks alike…read more The hot pot is comforting and consistent. The broth could be more flavorful. Garnishes (veggies, noodles, mushrooms) are a bit sparse but adequate for a small solo pot. They have a small sauce bar on the side for $2 as well. Sichuanese here is always a hit and very authentic. Highly recommend the Mapo Tofu or Spicy Fish Stew. The family-style portions are perfect for sharing. Would recommend the entrees here over the hot pot. Prices are reasonable given the portion sizes and quality. HEADS UP: There is a 15% service charge automatically included in the check. Perfect place for large family/friend outings and cold snowy days. Will definitely be coming back

I enjoyed their Crispy Duck in Spicy Sauce. The sauce was sweet and spicy, and accompanied the flavors of the duck well. There were lots of bones though.

The dishes we had were unlike anything we've had, and so memorable! Intense flavor with lots of depth and spice, and all the vegetables and tofu in the dry pot entree were cooked so well. I wouldn't get this as take out- the dry pot presentation was half the fun! Our other dish was chicken soupy style, which had an incredible spicy chili oil sauce that went well with plain rice. It was nicely decorated with the decor continuing into the restrooms. For those interested, it had a very family-friendly restroom with baby changing station. I learned that they have a location in Syracuse as well. Definitely give it a try and go for something special!
