Big Bowl Noodle House

I stopped by here with my partner during a long roadtrip and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. We talked briefly with some of the workers who spoke Chinese and learned that they have been here for 20 years. Portion sizes are big for the price (very worth) and the honey green tea is delicious (not too sweet, no need for adjustments). We ordered the pork and shrimp wonton noodle soup and pork and thousand egg congee. Needless to say, we finished it within minutes and ordered a chicken fried rice to go. Their food definitely hit the spot and we hope to come back soon!

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!

I ordered spring rolls and the sesame chicken. First they overcharged me by $2. The receipt said scrambled eggs and tomatoes $12.95. The spring rolls were very dry and the sesame chicken came out of the box in one very large lump! I tried to separate it but it still stuck together. The sauce was jellied holding the rice and chicken in a big ball. This was disgusting. I called and spoke with 3 different people. One man said he didn't know what to do. A lady got on the phone and said they cooked egg rolls for 5 and a half minutes but sesame chicken supposed to be like that. In a big ball? She said she could make another one. I surely didn't want anything else from there. Thanked her and hung up. I will never go there again. Food is disgusting.

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!

They offer one of the best deals for Chinese food in this town. The flavors were excellent, the portion size was large, and the price was great. They also offer plenty of vegetarian options.

A staple of State College, the true cafeteria of Penn State. Affordable, tasty meals with large portions (they are called big bowl after all). My go-to restaurant for a bite to eat. I would recommend trying the specials written on the whiteboard first. They have a decent selection of vegetarian dishes. The only thing to note is they are closed on Tuesdays.

You absolutely have to eat at this authentic Chinese restaurant. Hands down the BEST Chinese food that I've EVER consumed in my life! We stop anytime we pass through State College.

I liked the food. It was an order of Singapore Rice Noodles, Teriyaki Beef with Rice, and Garlic Chicken Fry. Let's start with the Singapore Noodles. It was very clean in terms of taste. Less oily, less spices!! I liked it. What I noticed was the proportion of veggies and meat to the rice noodles; it was not perfectly proportional. Veggies were hard to find!! Meat and shrimp could be a little bit more. Then, Teriyaki Beef was really good to taste!! Rice and beef was perfectly proportional. The total portion can be shared with another person. Lastly, the Garlic Chicken Fry!! It was way too salty! I loved the atmosphere at the underground. In total I spend $34. I couldn't finish all so took away the rest.
