" My experience at Big Bowl Noodle House was mostly positive. While the food was decent, it didn't impress me as much as I expected. It had a more Americanized taste than authentic Chinese, which is what I was hoping for. The portions were very decent though, definitely enough to share. I might consider coming back if I'm in the mood for something familiar, but it’s not at the top of my list. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve heard many good things about Big Bowl Noodle House, so I decided to give it a try. The combination of flavors is on point in most dishes, and the bubble tea is a nice touch. The only downside was that my order took a while to come out, but it was worth the wait. The generous portions made it easy to share with friends. I would definitely recommend this to anyone craving Chinese cuisine in State College! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want authentic Chinese dishes that don’t break the bank, you’ve found the spot! The menu offers so many choices that I had a hard time deciding. Eventually, I opted for their wonton soup and it hit the spot perfectly on a chilly day! Everything was made fresh, and you could taste the authenticity in every bite. I’m looking forward to trying more dishes during my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to share how incredible this restaurant is! The food has a genuine homemade touch to it. My absolute favorite has to be the General Tso's chicken — it's just the right amount of sweet and spicy. The portion sizes are enough to last a few meals if you're not too hungry. The server was also very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, suggesting the best dishes. It’s a casual, welcoming environment that makes you feel right at home. " (*Curated Review*)

" Big Bowl Noodle House has been my go-to spot since my college days. I can't believe the portions they've maintained over the years; it feels like I'm getting a good deal every time! The sesame oil they use in the noodles gives it such a wonderful taste. The staff was friendly and accommodating, definitely a plus for this busy place. The ambiance is nothing fancy, but it adds to the authentic experience. I’ll always recommend this place to newcomers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me start by giving a huge shoutout to Big Bowl Noodle House! Their portions are really massive. It's so refreshing to see a restaurant that understands the needs of hungry students. I had the pork fried rice, which was delightful, and the bubble tea complemented it well. Most importantly, everything was freshly made, and you can taste the difference. The area is cozy, and I’ll surely be returning soon for another meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this place given the reputation. The food was good, but I can't say it was anything extraordinary. The portions were sizable, which is great, but there was a lack of attention to detail in the flavors. Service was just okay; I felt neglected at times as I waited for my order. It was busy, but a little friendliness could make a huge difference. I might give this place another shot, but I'm not in a hurry to return. " (*Curated Review*)
