Beef Hefen
Jamie A.

Delicious Chinese food, a hidden gem in State College. And the woman (possibly owner) running the front is so nice.

Hot and Sour Beef Noodle
Sarah A.

The best Chinese food in State. And the sweetest owners. 10/10, screaming this recommendation from the roof tops.

Shredded Pork with pickled peppers
Alex B.

Tucked between a diploma shop and a shoe store, Chopstick Express is a hole in the wall with a view of Old Main directly across College Ave. I've unknowingly passed CE many times in fact it nearly took me a semester to realize this little Chinese restaurant sat on the busiest street in State College. When I walked in I realized I was the only non-Asian there but don't think I mean that as a bad thing. I figured CE had to be authentic if it was full of Asian students enjoying their dinner. I sat at a little table in the center and looked out at Old Main across the street. The owner brought me napkins and a fork. Right after that, she went to another table and handed two girls chopsticks. I wasn't offended but I wanted to eat the way everyone else did in the restaurant so I asked for chopsticks. I'm really no Chinese food expert and my go to entrée is almost always General Tso's Chicken. But tonight I had a "when in Rome" kind of attitude. I resisted ordering my favorite chicken dish and instead ordered the Shredded Pork with peppers. My meal was brought out pretty quick and I really enjoyed it. The peppers had a little kick to them and the pork was great! I totally recommend. I'll definitely go back and try the Ma Po tofu or Chicken and peanuts as I've heard great things. I left with a good full feeling, not like the usual full feeling after you eat 2lbs of General Tso's and pork fried rice. I'd especially recommend CE to any Penn State student that is looking for something other than Uncle Chen's. I know many students love their Chipolte but CE is a great and quick place to stop when you're sick of the dining hall meals or cooking for yourself at your apartment.

Sichuan heaven...
Qype User (Eat_Be…)

Chopstick Express -- how do I love thee! Let me sing the praise of your food, so that it shall reverberate from Mt. Nittany to Port Matilda. Hear me, Happy Valley, for I have found Sichuan Heaven right on my doorstep!!! Ignore the American-Chinese menu offering the same-old, dumbed-down day-glo HFCS glop of deep-fried somethings over rice. Instead, turn to the Chef's Specialties and thank me for the rest of your life. Like me, you will dream of the soft, pillowy deliciousness that is Ma Po Tofu, and you will crave it like crack-cocaine. You will suck down the Cold Sliced Pork despite the heaping piles of fresh and fried garlic, and the frightening amount of chili oil. You will revel in the highly addictive Hot & Spicy Pork like there is no tomorrow. You will slurp down the last Stir-fried Green Bean, even though you stopped being hungry half an hour ago. Bring at least two friends, thus enabling you to order a stunning array of dishes to share, and -- despite your original plan to NOT stuff yourself to the gills -- roll home, barely capable of uttering another word, except maybe for a delirious sooo -- Chopstick Express again tomorrow???

See all
