Four Seasons in Itdaca

I’ve been to a lot of Koran restaurants but the Jam Bong “spicy seafood soup” is the best out of all of them. Quick service and good atmosphere.

Delicious Korean BBQ with good service and affordable price. Aside from the fact that our veggies didn't look very fresh and the meat slices were a bit too thick, this place is really good! I really like one of their side dishes: baked potato in lightly sweet sauce. Will probably go there again whenever I want to eat BBQ!

Food is average. Service is poor. The servers are very unwelcoming and borderline rude. Steer clear from this garbage.

Superb Korean food. I'd especially recommend their 부대찌개.

I lived in Korea for several years, and this is probably the most authentic Korean food in the area. It's not the cheapest, but tastes great and the portions leave you very full. I usually get bi bim bap or bulgogi, which are consistently good; haven't experimented beyond those two.

Great authentic Korean food...

Nice Korean food, however it is a bit on the pricy side.

Excellent yukgejang. Solid Korean bbq selections for very reasonable prices. The cold noodles are fine too. But unless you like udon noodles, don't bother with any of the hot noodle dishes. Staff is friendly and helpful. The restroom is clean, at least when it's not packed. Best korean restaurant in Ithaca by far.

Had the Kali box dinner, short ribs - salad - dumpling - rice - noodles and miso soup and the raspberry wine. Very good.

I honestly thought it was a great place. I wish they had more vegetables and re-stocked the vegetables that you use while cooking though. It's a really low-key environment and the staff seem pleasant.

First time I went there is was amazing we drove a hours for it.

Pretty bad.I ordered Jjam-pong. it was sucks.Shin-ramen or Mat-jjampong is even far better.

The food was good. Small place. It was decently busy, but there was no wait. We didn't try the BBQ, but we would definitely go back

I eat here two or three times a week. Everything is great - but the stews, casseroles, and Bulgogee are the best in the states. My favourite lunch/comfort food is the squid bowl, it comes out sizzling in a stone bowl. Spicy.The owners are really nice people, when they see me and my buddy they put our order in ( they know I'm in a hurry most days ).I've seen a few reviews complain about price, so get the box lunch and be full for about $10. You can't get a happy meal for that. I'm sure if you explain you're on a budget they'll throw a little extra rice in your bowl.I should also mention, the wait staff wait for you to call them over, as is the custom anywhere outside the U.S.Great dinner date place too. A little habatchi at your table and some soju makes for nice ambience.

Not to bad, food was decent and service good. Not a traditional kbbq that i am used too, but for the area this was good.

I lived in Korea for two years and am ALWAYS excited to eat Korean food again when I can. In my hometown there isn't any Korean food or Indian or Thai but I digress. I was not impressed with this place. I've eaten there twice. It was edible but by no means great. Very small and very few side dishes and expensive . Strangely I cannot remember small [pieces broccoli for a side dish in Korea? In almost every restaurant in Korea you would get at least 10 overflowing side dishes that would be refilled as you ate them.Didn't like the atmosphere inside....very small and just thrown together like a robot would put together a restaurant. No feeling no pizzaz. no feeling. and the food was mediocre.

Good food

I didn't come here with high expectations, but the food here was worse than I could imagine. I ordered the Cold Noodle and the Ginseng Chicken soup (samgyetang). While ordering I was warned that 'Americans' wouldn't like it, but Koreans and Chinese might enjoy it...that should have been a hint to just leave (I'm half Korean). The soup didn't have any ginseng, garlic, or dates, didn't use the right rice for stuffing in the chicken, and really didn't have any hint that it was anything other than a frozen chicken boiled in salt water. The side dishes were quite bad as well. The kimchee was undermarinated and was overly salty. The cold noodle was edible, but was very plain. The only time the server smiled was when he picked up the cash from us.The store looked like it might serve authentic Korean food, but don't be fooled!

So greasy, but decent flavors.

Kinda expensive for the not that big portions

The food is the most authentic in the area. It's a little on the pricy side because your in a college city and next to the campus. Good veriety of food.

This restaurant has a great concept and potential, but fails on the actual delivery. For example: Each table has a cool grill built into the table for the bbq! But then you learn that you have to spend at *least* $45, in food, to actually use it AND they do it FOR you so you don't actually get the experience you thought you were going to. Oh...and "triple layer pork" is just bacon.Be sure to order dish #42 so you can experience how "sausage, pork, meat, and veggies w/ tofu in a spicy sauce and noodles (sounds good right?!) turns out to be: hot dogs, bacon, mushy cabbage w/ taste-less tofu and ramen. But don't worry, you won't taste how bad it is because you'll be numbed by the natural endorphins kicking in due to the third-degree burns on your tongue. Oh, and if you're lucky like me you might get the special treat of a piece of bone in your hot dog! Best of luck! Just think of it as a Korean fortune cookie :P

Great food and service...

Great food. Point dropped for being pricy

Great value and options for all!

Food: Really good kimchi jiggae, bold authentic flavors instead of the watered down soups up the street. Unfortunately, though there was a fair amount of pork, the portion was rather small. On the other hand wife liked her box and came away full.Service: Wait staff was pretty inattentive both times I went. Food comes out incredibly fast, but then the waiter will ghost you until they drop off your check.Value: A mix. I suggest coming during a weekday lunch, rather than dinner or on the weekend, as the portions are the same but dinner/weekend is around 20% more expensive.

One of my favorite restaurants in collegetown. Food is great (esp the Galbi box) and prices are reasonable.

They served me water with a dead fly in it. This speaks volumes about how dirty the kitchen probably is. I got the Yaki Soba with beef and it was extremely bland, I couldn't even eat it. I sent it back. I didn't get an apology for the fly in my water or the gross food. I also still had to pay for my dish even though I only had 1 bite. I was not asked if I wanted to get anything else.

Very very pricey for non-authentic Korean food. One of my side dishes was just plain broccoli. No Daikon, no seaweed, just broccoli. Had the pork bone soup, which was very good but underseasoned and too expensive for the cheapest cut of pork meat. I'm completely grateful for the staffing at the restaurant, but it kind of takes away from the Korean experience when you hear waiters speaking Spanish at the front counter. Good venue, clean restaurant, but overpriced. For the price I would expect more, authentic Korean side dishes, more kimchi, and slightly larger portions.

Love their pancakes.

Good food, but pricier than Koko down the street and not substantially better.

Decent place, my favorite is their tofu soup. They have some healthy tasting dishes as well, but they can taste quiet bland at times.

Seriously. Seriously, there is no customer care and they gave us all the fatty cuts of the BBQ after strongly suggesting the kitchen cook our meats which we obliged. Absolutely horrendous experience so take heed!Post edit* The experience was bad enough and we still left hungry. We actually ate at Koko the other choice in town and it was pleasant, delicious, and wonderful

We just love this place our favorite place to eat when we are home in Ithaca.

Great food

This is my first time trying this place, and Four Seasons literally gives me the worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant. Their food was ok, but the service was pretty bad that day. So me and my friends decided to leave tips under 15%. After a few days, our cards were charged with the amount that exceeded what we wrote on the receipt. We went back to the restaurant again and talked to the cashier (a short guy with black hair). However, I was shocked when he told us "In America, it's REQUIRED to tip at least above 15%, so we automatically charged you 15% tip." We told him the reason we didn't tip was because service was bad. He still insisted we should tip 15%. OMG so I should tip you 15% even when your service was bad? I don't know how he makes up this rule without feeling ashamed. Anyway, I create this account so I can leave this review to warn everyone to be careful of the charging in this restaurant. It's not worth spending your money there tbh.

Had two orders of the korean bbq. Entire ordered totalled more than $30. The service was terrible. The waitress kept interrupting, placing our food on the grill without us requesting help. Every other korean restaurant I've been in has kept the side dishes filled, but this one did not, despite of having ordered two bbq dishes. I didn't get my $30 worth of food.

I love eating at this place. But one time I went to eat with my siblings. We ordered the BBQ. There was four of us so we ordered two BBQ. They gave us one small basket of lettuce which only have 4 to 5 small piece to wrap the meat. We asked for more because that wasn't enough to wrap the meat with. They gave us a few more piece which is still just 4 piece or lettuce. When I got the bill, they charge me $11 extra for the lettuce when I can just buy the whole lettuce for only around 3 to $4. Plus the lady who was serving us never smiles. As always she looked pissed.

Rather pricy, and the foods are very mediocre (Unfortunately, other Korean restaurants in Ithaca are terrible). Service is terrible. They fraudulently altering the tip on my credit card slip - it was only 10 cents, but I just can't tollerate this.

Good food, but the BBQ is overpriced for what is provided. The other selections are pretty good, and most are nice options for a meal with conpany.

Pricey yet small.

Good food at a reasonable price. Be warned that they add in the tip for you if you have a party of 5+ people.

Delicious Korean food at affordable prices

I had #59 on their menu, a sauteed kimchi dish with pork, tonight. Most of the pork pieces were fatty pieces of chewy bacon, and the rest looked like left over pork chops shredded and recycled into other dishes, like this one. The menu listed the item as very spicy; it was at best mild to medium heat. The kimchi was remarkably mediocre, the whole dish lacked any substantial flavor beyond that of the smokey bacon after tones that clung like old grease to the back of my mouth. It's possible that I detected a hint of something akin to that of the flavor water takes on, after having hotdogs boiled in it.I had wanted to try out the korean bbq, but apparently you need to order a minimum of two full entrees and then the staff cooks it in front of you at the table instead of the patrons cooking the meats themselves at the table, as is the norm with most korean bbq places. Good luck with the other dishes, but steer clear of #59.

Tasty Korean home cooking in Collegetown! Recommended by a fellow Korean grad student at Cornell.

great food and service!

Decent Korean restaurant in ctown. I often go there. However, they only accept 2 cards to pay. Not convenient for group dinner.

Great quality, great customer service, good vibes. Defiantly would bring a group to dine in again.

I got take out. It was quick and was good. Will go again!
