We were in State Collage for a sports event and found this gem by campus. Fusion Asian with tiramisu, not expected, but it hit. We shared three dishes - beef stew, drunken noodles with tofu and beef ribs. They were all really good. The ribs were meaty, slightly sweet and fell off the bone. Served with a sunny side up egg, spinach and rice. There was an egg with the stew as well and it made the dish feel silky. The beef seemed slow cooked and the basmati rice went well. The tiramisu was solid, light and airy and very pretty plating. Service was a little apathetic, but the food was good enough to offset. Reasonable prices too. Would definitely go back if we lived here. read more

Bistrozine - Tiramisu - Asian Fusion Near Me

Truly this is my favorite hidden gem restaurant in State College. Every time we go, I have to get the Spicy Miso Ramen with Beef. It is truly incredible and has ruined other ramen for me because of how good it is. I compare every ramen I get to it and they never measure up. If you do not really have a tolerance for spice, you can ask for it less spicy. We also got the chicken and duck rolls, both are very good. I do not know if there is a menu item in this restaurant that's bad. The seafood explosion is delicious and so is the popcorn chicken. We've had the cheesecake, the truffle bomb, and the lava cake, once again, all amazing. read more

The pleasant atmosphere was the highlight of our trip to Bistrozine today. Lovely music, and a clean, tranquil environment greeted us. It was a cold day and a little chilly inside, but we enjoyed it. We had kimchi dumplings, chicken katsu curry rice, and kimchi bulgogi tots. The food was all tasty enough -- not exceptional, but good. read more

This was a co-workers recommendation. I would not have guessed that it was an "asian fusion" type restaurant by the name. It's tucked back in Calder Way and off the main drag. There is a metered parking lot nearby or you can find a garage that's 3 blocks away. We were quickly seated and service was great. The restaurant was clean, small and interesting. They have tables with swings for chairs? Unfortunately, we sat in regular chairs. I'm not sure if this place was something else previously but there was some out of place decor. The menu has a variety of asian inspired options with rice or noodles. Some options were familar and others were new to me. Food presentation was excellent. Our party, in general, raved about their dishes. I got the kimchi fried rice and thought there would have been pieces of kimchi throughout but no. We enjoyed their variety of tea options and drank two whole pots on a cold winter's day. Everything had great spice and kick. Pricing was reasonable with most dishes around $12-14. read more

So talented, this kitchen is. Everything that came out was great, well-presented, and above expectations. Quiet and unassuming place with a super clean dining room (and bathroom). Go and explore the menu! Hint: duck roll might be the right place to start. read more

We went a Saturday evening in June. It wasn't busy at the time we went. Minimal decor which I didn't really mind . They have swings as seats. Food was delicious. There's not much Asian dishes around the area as we were visiting and heavily depended on the reviews of other establishments. So this was the place to be. As in the photos, I had the shrimp udon and matcha lava dessert.the chocolate oozed of the cake it was delish with the matcha ice cream. The shrimp udon was what I expected it to be We shared crispy duck roll. There's definitely flavor when you take a bite. We had oysters too but I didn't take a photo. We devoured them. read more

I kept hearing great things about Bistrozine and I am so glad I finally tried it. The food was SO good. The seafood explosion tastes like a tiny crabcake with the yummiest sauces on top. The crispy duck roll is divine. The chocolate truffle bomb was amazing, has a chocolate cake shell and creamy chocolate truffle inside. My friends loved everything they got. Service is attentive and quick. I'll definitely be back! read more

Why are reviews so high? Food tasted and looked like it was from frozen or a packet. Was not hot. Service was not good although they were trying! The waitress didn't seem to want to be there. Maybe it was a tough day and I hope the best for her. Overall: not good. read more

OMG YUM. This little place is tucked in an alcove and can be hard to find if not familiar with the area, but well worth the search! I had a ribeye stir fry and cheeseburger wontons and both were absolutely delicious. My friends enjoyed the chicken stir fried rice, which came in a bowl topped with fried chicken and an egg. I also had the Bistrozine lemonade, which looked really cool and tasted great. No alcohol is served here, but they are BYOB. They have a few really cool tables where one side is a swing you can sit on. The restaurant was very clean and service was friendly and fast. I would definitely visit here again! read more

Another wonderful return visit to Bistrozine! Not only does their food tantalize your taste buds (and always comes out piping hot!), their drinks and dishes are a feast for the eyes as well! I love that they are right across the street from PSU, but are nestled in a quaint little alcove, which provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the college main strip! read more

This restaurant is tucked in a little side street in State College that I was glad to come across. The restaurant was very clean and had a nice modern decor. One thing that stood out was that in the one seating section one half of the table party had a swing that served as the chair. I did it try it since I was a single but the couple next to me each took a turn using it and enjoyed it. My Kimchi fried rice with pork was delicious and the pork was very tender and flavorful. The service was great and the waitress checked in often to make sure all was well. read more

A hidden gem @ State College. The Asian fusion food and service was outstanding. One of the best Crispy Calamari I've had in a while to start off our meal. Then came my wife's Crispy Duck Roll. Without a doubt, a must if you enjoy duck. I myself had the Spicy Miso. Who's knew we'd have an Asian fusion experience in PA that would compare to NY dives. Enjoy the pics. We definitely enjoyed our meal. P.S. Homemade Chocolate Lava read more

Ordered the chocolate lava cake, and it was unfortunately a big disappointment. The menu stated it was homemade and took 15 minutes to make, but it came out in about 5 minutes and suspiciously tasted like a cake sold at the grocery store. The menu also stated the cake was filled with green tea ganache and served with green tea ice cream, but did not come with either (just came with vanilla ice cream and minimal chocolate ganache). When we asked our waitress about this, she stated they "were out of green tea ice cream". Pretty slow service overall as well. We didn't try anything else on the menu, but recommended to steer clear of any of the desserts. read more

So I adore small plates and this restaurant has a scrumptious assortment. We ordered the Seafood Explosion (my favorite), Bacon Cheeseburger Dumplings, and Crispy Duck Roll starters. Plus Kimchi Bulgogi Tots, Ramen, and Vegetarian Curry Meatballs. We shared family-style. The service was attentive, fast and helpful -- one of our party ordered beef with ramen and the wait person kindly prompted "pork?" The suggestion was gentle, appreciated and phenomenal. The setting is cleverly designed. Oh and the beverages are to die for. The Matcha Iced Coffee Float was amazing. The scoop of green tea took me back to Japan. Five of us ate with appetizers, drinks and tip for $140. Everything we had was delicious! Definitely worth visiting! read more

This place is off the beaten path but truly worth it. Went here with my girlfriend and son. As always, we had to order to much food. Got the spicy chicken bites, cheeseburger dumplings, pork ramen and the Can't see me Ramen. The dumplings were amazing and so were both ramen. The Can't see me ramen was spicy. The chicken bites were not, but they were good. Love the crispy texture. We would go here again. You really have to try this place! read more

Very good asian fusion. Clean inside, which is something I cannot say for a lot of ramen places in the State College Area. Food is great..my go to is the spicy miso. read more

Share servings were all excellent! The crispy chicken wings, kimchi fried rice, coconut shrimp and pork Ramen bowl etc! The service was a tad slow (first day for new server) and it is on the smaller side for dining area, but don't let that keep you away! We were very satisfied and even had left overs for day 2. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing Asian fusion. I highly recommend the spicy miso ramen if you are in the mood for a soup, and their Katsu curry is always so soothing. The desserts are fun and never disappoint. They have a wide variety of items so you won't get bored. The store is small but fun, with the option for swing chairs. There aren't many workers but they are always pleasant no matter how busy the restaurant is. read more

First time here and it was excellent. I got the spicy noodles beef sirloin tips. Very reasonable price.

TLDR; food/dessert was subpar -- advertised as a ramen place on Yelp but only had two different ramens to choose from (it's actually asian fusion). service was extremely slow but very polite. I'm honestly kind of surprised with my experience considering all the good reviews. Genuinely confused by their menu since it seems like a heavy appetizer and dessert place but is advertised as a ramen place on Yelp? I ordered the "Cheese Me Up Ramen" and "Chocolate Matcha Lava Cake". Ramen was subpar at best. Honestly kinda surprised there wasn't any soup since that wasn't how it was depicted in the menu. Not to mention, the ramen was dry and tasted like instant ramen with a few toppings I easily could've put in myself. The portion was big and definitely worth the $13 though. As for the lava cake, it resembled a very similar dessert offered in NYC (as for a few of their other desserts --- so overall not very creative). I tried not to be bias and had high hopes when it came out, but the presentation wasn't as pictured and the taste just didn't compare. The waitress was extremely polite and even apologized for interrupting our conversation to ask us how our food was. But my friend and I were sitting there for ~40-45 minutes waiting for someone to hand us our check before we just asked for it ourselves. Within this time frame, our plate was clearly empty and multiple waiters had come and refilled our water. Aesthetic was cute --like the idea of having swings as chairs-- but for a restaurant that just opened, they have a lot of work to do. read more

I went with our colleagues for lunch. We ordered few appetizers to share. Buffalo Chicken Croquette, Popcorn Chicken, Herbs Crusted Calamari. I had Spicy Beef Miso Ramen. All of appetizers and my ramen were just okay. There is nothing special about them. Because of the price range, I expected better. The ambiance, the decoration, and the service were great. Ambiance: great, modern, clean. Service: great Food: below expectation Price: over priced for the food quality read more

Me and my homie go out to eat every Tuesday and almost always try a new place. Ive eaten almost everywhere in state college now and this was one of our favorites. The food is worth the money. Its all so good and fun to try as they have a unique asian fusion going on. The tea is also really good. Served in a little kettle with little glass cups that make you sip and really take in and enjoy the flavor. The swing seats are cool and i like being able to see into the kitchen so you can watch some cooking action and know its not some high 16 yo just bare handing with dirty hands all day. Overall a great place highly recommend. read more

Honestly one of the few restaurants in the area that is worth the visit. The food was fresh and tasty. The hot tea choice is nice and the ramen was well presented and yummy. Quiet and very cute inside. Attentive staff that don't rush you. Wish I had found it sooner! read more

Delicious dishes and we split the seafood explosion appetizer. Lovely and friendly service. Also, very clean.

Used to live in state college and loved this place immediately. Truly a hidden gem the owner is an amazing guy with a great story. My friend Jeremy and I have since moved to sf but man do we miss this place. Always stop back in for the can't see me ramen when I'm visiting. read more

Me and my fiancé have been to this place twice on one week! Goal is to try everything on the menu. So far so good. Prawns are so well seasoned probably my favorite so far. The matcha lava cake was good wish i ordered two so I wouldn't have to share. And I love the swing seats they have just an overall great vibe. Staff is super friendly. some dishes can be expensive but definitely worth it. each dish is prepared to perfection. read more

2 words to start, amazing experience. We came in on lunch time and started with ocean explosion. It came out so crispy, fresh and the sauce was the bomb. Then with the calamari, perfectly fried with mango salsa. As well with the signature ramen, so tasty. For desserts we ordered bistrozine's signature pie, something that we never had before and so glad we tried it. Avocado affogato was a real treat for avocado lovers, the blend between avocado, coffee and chocolate is a perfect combination. Would def coming back and hope this place will do well. read more

It's always nice when a new place opens up in town.... even if it's _another_ Asian-influenced restaurant. Our group of 6 pretty much chomped its way through most of the small plate section (10 dishes total). Although we hadn't ordered the wings, they showed up at our table, whereas the bacon cheeseburger dumplings we had ordered never made it. That was a-ok in the end, as it was *plenty* of food, and most of the dishes are deep-fried. Much as I like deep-fried things, it does make for a fairly monotonous dining experience. While I'm not sure whether there are plans to change the menu in the future, a few more fresh/grilled/steamed items would be a great addition. I think there's exactly one salad on the menu at this point. The highlights of the meal were the crispy mashed potato, the ocean explosion, the ribs, the BLT, and the calamari. The ribs would've been absolutely perfect without the 'honey chipotle aioli': fall-apart tender and flavorful. The menu in general is a little heavy on dipping sauces (a few variations on tomato/marinara sauce) and verrry heavy on the mayo. The Asian-spiced edamame were unusual & tasty, but a little undercooked. I'm also still trying to wrap my head around what's "Asian" about a coating of mayo, Parmesan & Cajun seasoning. The Mac & Cheese were disappointing -- too much batter to actual mac & cheese ratio, and the (tomato) dipping sauce was sweet in a way more fitting for dessert. The fact that one of the table has swings for chairs is a nice touch for kids, teens, or silly adults '-) I will def be back to try some of the main dishes -- like the ramen, chicken fried rice, and braised short ribs. Service is very friendly & attentive, prices are reasonable. BYOB. read more
