This is definitely 5 stars! We were craving some Chinese food and looked up what was in State College. This place had the highest reviews so we decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint. The atmosphere is nothing special, but we couldn’t care less. You order your food at the counter and they call your number when it’s ready and you go to the counter to pick it up. No big deal to us that it’s not the type of restaurant where they serve you at your table. I had the Thai chicken pho noodle dish and my husband had the general Taos chicken. Both were probably the best we’ve ever had. So, so good! We will absolutely go back

Big portions, low prices, and actually good flavor.
Came with a friend, we knew we were over-ordering, but the portions were even bigger than expected. The noodles had great texture, and the sides were solid too. We can’t believe we finished them all XD
It’s also right downtown, which makes it super convenient to grab a quick, affordable meal between classes. This is the kind of place you accidentally over-order at… and don’t regret it at all. Definitely coming back.

This was my favorite place to eat during undergrad. I came back to visit this week for Homecoming and this place hasn’t lost a beat! The food was delicious as always! This is a State College hidden gem

We were recommended to this place by a local and it did not miss. Food was fresh and portions large. Service was fast and friendly. Honestly, not sure what else you could ask for. There were plenty of options to choose from. I ordered the Singapore noodles and steamed veg dumplings.

Authentic food. College student friendly. Friendly service. Located below street level. Tip: try the fried tofu.

Don’t let the creepy entrance or bland decor throw you off—Big Bowl Noodle is all about the food. This was my second time eating here, thanks to a Penn State alum buddy who insisted I try the congee. I’m glad I listened. The congee is absolutely top-tier: warm, creamy, with a subtle toastiness that gives it depth.
I kicked mine up with a little spice, and the pork was sliced just right—tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. This is the kind of congee that sticks with you. If you know, you know. I couldn’t recommend it more.

Passed through the area on a roadtrip and stopped for some Chinese/Taiwanese food. Really pleasantly surprised by how good it was! We had:
Pork and Century Egg Congee 5/5
This was a classic and really delicious congee. It definitely hit the spot after driving for a while. Big portion but it was so good I scarfed it down in no time.
Wonton Soup 5/5
Wontons good, soup good. What more can you ask for?
Chicken Fried Rice (takeout) 4/5
Chicken fillet was crispy and fried rice is just your average fried rice. Perfectly fine, but nothing stand out. Probably wouldn’t get it again, not because it was bad but just because the other dishes were so good.
Also got jasmine milk tea with boba which was good too. Sweetness level was just right, not too sweet.
Plenty of street parking. Service was quick and efficient. Staff was super nice and very friendly even though we arrived and dined in later at night. Talked with them and learned that they’ve been open for 20 years! And I can see why. Portions are big, the food is great, and for the price it’s amazing. Will definitely be back when we’re in State College. Highly recommend.

I stopped here randomly, looking to grab a small dish to satisfy my munchies. Ordered the sesame noodles which price wise should have been a small dish. Well, it was huge! Served very fast, fresh and flavorful, not to mention, the chilly oil is fire!!! Will be coming back!

Amazing! This “underground” restaurant is extremely good in terms of price and food. Everything we ordered was relatively cheap and came in a huge portion that we packed up for that night’s dinner. As an added bonus, they have bubble tea and their taro flavor is great. If you’re ever in State College, check this place out!

My favorite place in downtown. Favorite place in State College. I come to this place whenever I am hungry. Lots of different items so I can try every day with different ones. Satay Hofun noodle the best. No, Beef combo Jiangxi rice noodle soup the best. No, thai stir fry noodle the best. No, I just cannot choose the best item because every thing is so GOOD. I just love this place. Imma work more so I can get more food from here. Just take all my money big bowl. The owner seems super chill and nice. Workers here are nice. Large place so no waiting time for seat.
