Great study spot, large and long tables and conveniently located with parking as well!

I don't even live here, but whenever I come to visit this is on the list of must-visit places. I go for one particular item: lavender milk bubble tea. No bubble tea can compare, and believe me, I have tried! When ordering, you have an option of two sizes: small or large. There are MANY tea flavors in addition to several great add-in options (boba, lychee, beans, etc). The coolest part about this place is the interactive dining experience. The walls are clad with unique post-it's from guests, and the tables are covered in board-games/activities to invite you to stick around. 10/10 would recommend.

I got the Whale Crystal, a drink of blue coconut milk and tao jiao (peach tree jelly). I would've guessed that the blue came from butterfly pea flower, but I didn't actually pick up on any flavour besides coconut. The drink was very good - the tao jiao had an interesting texture and very subtle floral taste. It didn't really taste peachy. The barista recommend mixing the drink before drinking and I will reinforce this recommendation since I think the texture and flavour of the tao jiao were best when combined with thee coconut milk. The sweetness level was not adjustable for the drink but I didn't think it was too sweet at all even though I usually take my drinks with low sugar. I really enjoyed this unique drink!

I haven't been to State College in a while. So I'm not sure when all the uni-marts closed down and…read morereopened as boba tea places? But I can not believe how many of these tea places are all over State College! After passing like 12 of them I finally got sucked in - and I entered The Whale Tea. The place was cute. I ordered a large Matcha tea - and the picture on the wall said it was one of their top items ordered. It probably took about 10 minutes for them to make it - but there were a lot of people in and out so I wasn't expecting it to be made too fast. They called my number so I went to get my tea. The picture on the wall showed the tea had boba but my order didn't have it. When I asked they told me the picture was misleading since they don't put boba in the matcha - but they said they would put it in mine if I wanted them to open the seal. I let them add it - bc why not? The drink was absolutely delicious. One of the best matchas I've had. The price was almost $8 which I thought was insane bc it is muuuuuch cheaper to get matcha in Philly. I'm not sure how all these college students can afford this almost $8 beverage - when I was a college student that would not have been even close to being in my budget - I prefered spending my cash on dollar beer pitchers. But these expensive drinks seem to be all the rage w current students.

I am from New York, so I was amazed when I got to try the general tso's here in State College for the first time. The portion size is great and the chicken is just cooked so perfectly with a lot of flavor. I've been here 2 times in person so far and they've both been great experiences. The restaurant has a water station where you can refill your own water cups. The staff were super friendly. There's a lot of seating available and seems like a popular spot!

Yummy cafe is my favorite Chinese restaurant in State College mainly because they serve actual…read moreauthentic Chinese food. Most places around here have catered their flavors towards an American food palette and is usually underwhelming. Yummy Cafe is not afraid to give you authentic dishes. I always get the eggplants with garlic sauce and it is always consistently delicious. The ma po tofu is sweet and spicy but the spice does not overwhelm the dish. The only thing that was lacking were the sesame balls but they were also REALLY good. The red bean paste was just a bit dry. I think one thing the restaurant can improve on is their menu, only the take out menu has the right prices. But, the waitress is really nice and made our experience at the restaurant pleasant. In regards to the ambiance, the interior design is a bit old and could use an upgrade but I think it bring authenticity to the overall experience at the restaurant. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Yummy Cafe. I come here all the time and every time the food has been amazing!

The salmon was a bit off, didn't seem fresh, and the beef was like cold tendon pieces that didn't quite fit in the bowl. The rice to everything else ratio was skewed towards the former, and not enough sauce was given, so it felt like I was eating just rice at the end. I was a bit disappointed to say the least, but wanted to give this place another chance before posting any reviews. My second sparked my third time coming here. Both times, I ordered salmon as my 2 proteins, brown rice, cilantro, sweet corn, red onions, edamame, kani salad, seaweed salad, and roasted seaweed with their special house sauce, wasabi aioli, and eel teriyaki sauce. Both times were consistent and much better than my first experience. The salmon was fresh, and toppings and sauces were loaded. I love the variety of toppings you can choose from too! Overall, I would recommend coming here. Definitely the better poke place here in State College. The staff are also super friendly. I will be coming back to try their egg waffles next time!

There were so many soup options but I opted for the classic crossing bridge noodle soup. I added lamb slices into mine and my friends got similar options with crab sticks and beef slices into theirs - it's super customizable. Mine comes with a giant bone in pork but they give you a pair of gloves to eat it with which helps a ton. The marrow inside is super tender too. When the bowl arrives, make sure you add in your noodles immediately and along with any of the toppings on the tray as shown as well. If you're dining in person, you get a free refill of noodles. It can def be saved for another meal and is a bang for your buck. If you're ever missing a warm, nostalgic Chinese noodle soup, this is your place! Only con is that there aren't too many seats inside so big groups might have a hard time.
