The food was ok and cold, i was expecting my stir fried noodless more warm and fresh as they took 15-20 min to serve it. I was expecting a more bit authentic chinese taste, rather than watery soya sause mix. Hope they will improve.

I dropped in here because I was craving something warm and filling, and the name definitely didn't lie about the portions. The bowls are absolutely massive and packed with fresh ingredients that make the meal feel like a great deal for the price. I tried the spicy beef noodle soup and the broth was rich and flavorful without being overwhelming, and the noodles had that perfect chewy texture you only get when they are prepared right. The vibe inside is very casual and low-key, making it a great spot to just sit down and enjoy a big meal after a long day of walking around. The service was surprisingly fast too, even though there were quite a few people waiting for takeout orders. It is a solid, no-frills hidden gem for anyone who loves authentic flavors and wants to leave feeling completely full.

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.

Good large portions, but you feel like you are eating in a train station hallway.

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

Great portions for the price.
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.
