This place has the worst customer service! I just ordered Hot Buffalo wings and the delivery guy handed me a bag filled with hot sauce! I also had 2 cans of soda which were swimming in the hot sauce within the bag. I called and the manager and he tired to tell me that they don't promise that the food will be intact when delivered which I think is BS! I am currently going to school for Hospitality Management and I can say that this restaurant is lacking in so many ways. DO NOT EAT HERE THE QUALITY OF FOOD AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE!!!! read more

I have to give them credit- it's cheap. Definitely cheap. I spent $8 and got a half pound of boneless wings, a lot of fries, and a soda... delivered. However, the food itself is very mediocre. The wings have a somewhat odd appearance- they are very thin strips, slightly overcooked, and the "sauce" (I chose honey mustard) meant that it appeared to have been lightly sprinkled with the sauce, rather than marinated in it. Also, the SALT. THERE IS SO MUCH SALT. It was oppressively salty- both the wings and the fries. I probably wouldn't eat here again, unless I was in a pinch on a budget. Pros: Fine flavor Fries taste good Cheap Fast delivery Fresh celery Cons: Extremely salty A bit overcooked Not enough sauce read more

Ignored the reviews and decided to give them a try because of the great dinner specials. All I can say is don't do it. The wings looked...old. They were overcooked and tasted bland and dry, as if frozen for years and then fried for a half hour. I honestly felt sick and could not finish my dinner. Just awful. The sides were all cold and unexceptional. At least the celery was fresh. STAY AWAY. HEED THE REVIEWS. read more

Don't. For the love of God, don't do it. We decided to order delivery from here because there aren't many places that will deliver wings where we live. When I called, the person who answered the phone had a very thick Asian accent and we barely understood each other. That's sort of expected for Fuji & Jade, but a wing joint?? Anyway, we ordered, and about 30 minutes later someone called (again with a thick accent) and told me to come down. The only problem is that I live in a house, so there was nowhere for me to "come down." We exchanged awkward dialog and neither of us really understood each other. Through some miracle, our food got here eventually. I ordered some boneless wings with teriyaki sauce, and my girlfriend had regular wings with hot buffalo sauce. We were both really unsatisfied by the sauce (both the taste and the quantity). I really couldn't taste the sauce in the boneless wings at all -- all I could taste was the breading, which was lackluster with a frightening aftertaste. I still kind of taste it and it scares me. What I could taste of the chicken (the part that wasn't masked by the breading) was disappointing as well. My girlfriend notes that hers "was cooked." So that's a plus, i guess. Still, there was almost no buffalo sauce on hers, and although she ordered "hot," it wasn't remotely spicy We both had to put some of our own sauce on our food to make it vaguely edible. So yeah, we're pretty disappointed. If you do decide to order from here, I recommend you order the smallest quantity possible to give it a test run so you don't feel bad when you have to throw it in the trash and cook yourself something. read more

Despite the overwhelmingly bad reviews, Zen's is, and will continue to be, my guilty pleasure. Get their BONELESS wings and you won't be disappointed. Nothing cures a hangover better than a delivery from Zen's. They have been a Sunday Lunch tradition at my house for a couple years. The delivery people are always nice and friendly. Our house is on the other side of town but they still manage to arrive like ten minutes after I hang up the phone its ridiculous. Love all their flavors and the boneless wings, although appear to be nothing more than glorified chicken strips, are fantastic. Haters gonna hate! Keep on keeping on Zen's!! read more

I have to give this place a 3 star rating for a few reasons. 1. The chicken is thin strips, which I like. 2. It's cheap. 3. There are a decent amount of options. However, it's not the best. The sauces usually don't fully cover the meat. The fries are very "frozen tasting" and average. It's a quick dinner if you want to spend less money than wings over, but you get what you pay for. read more

love the wings, good portions for reasonable prices, and great flavor! many different choices and love the fact that you can choose different flavors while still getting a good deal. the garlic bread is also delicious! read more

Zen Wings & Things - 50 wings: teriyaki, mild (2), bbq, and honey mustard! - Asian Fusion Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Honestly may be the worst boneless wings I have ever had. These are not boneless wings, they are essentially breaded chicken cutlets cut into pieces. Not only are the wings horrible but they're skimpy on the sauces. Horrible place. read more

Eh. The price wasn't expensive, but it wasn't really worth the subpar food and I didn't really expecting much, to begin with. My girlfriend and I got delivery, but after eating a bit of it we decided to go get good food, at Sheetz. read more

I order wings at 12:20 and now it's 2:12 and the delivery is still "on its way" according to whoever answered my phone. I guess they live in another planet then. read more

I order from here quite often .. Takes an hour to get delivered .. I've had longer so I guess that's normal .. Umm the last few times my celery has been dirty and some pieces were bad but overall not bad good size wings love the mild ones ... read more

This wouldn't be the first place I would for wings. It's seems like everything on the menu is dry. I ordered 12 wings, 2 sides(onion rings and French Fries). The wings were very dry and barely covered in sauce, hence you don't get much flavor. The onions rings were a disappointment and fries tasted a day old. read more

I don't usually post a review but i feel it is my duty to alert everyone of my experience, i ordered the boneless dinner with garlic parmesan and pasta salad, i also ordered a side of onion rings. First thing first, the delivery took about 50 min to deliver but not surprisingly it came cold, the wings were stale and tasted bland , the wings were sprinkled with Garlic powder and parmesan which barely stuck on, the wings were also overcooked. The pasta salad was the worst, they literally boiled pasta then threw it into the box with lettuce, no flavor no sauce... nothing. The onion rings tasted like it was left there for a week, and it was also over cooked and cold. The only redeeming thing about this place is the sauce and soda. I would not pay $12 for this tasteless meal again. read more

Orders 2 boneless wing combos. I placed the order at 12:10 telling them I needed it by 1:05 because of my work break. I called at 1:10 asking if they would be here soon, I was told they would be. I waited until 1:20 to call again and was told they would be here soon, it was now 1:25 and my food was still not here. I was told it could be a couple minutes because of my request. We had to cancel because my break was over. So never got to try the food but got to try the slow service. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Cold wings and soggy fries. I wouldn't serve this to my dog.

Let me preface this by saying that if you want wings, you're better off going to Wings Over. The reason I am giving it 4 stars is for its other options. In addition to the traditional bone-in and boneless wings, they also offer fried beef and shrimp. While their shrimp is good, their beef is one of the most unique things you can find at 1 AM on a Saturday. I usually order the "Kick'n Cajun" beef, and rather than being drenched in sauce, the strips of beef are tossed in a spice mixture, which gives it a much better flavor. I also enjoy their $1 specials, as it's a good thing to get when you're out of money and don't feel like cooking. read more

Just made a big order with a couple friends. More disappointing than the amount of assaults that happen in the area. Wings tasted rotten, sauce wasn't completely on, onion rings were fried too long, pasta salad was nasty, dumplings were garbage and celery wasn't fresh. Only thing good here is the stale rice. read more

You are much better with chicken from just about anywhere else. I had been wanting to try this, but I should have listened to everybody else. I probably would be better off just making my own wings read more

Absolutely terrible. Every aspect was disappointing besides the brisk. I ordered a pound of wings. Half hot Parmesan and half mild. Got a quarter pound of half Parmesan and half medium. Ordered fried mushrooms in which the batter was still fresh like pancake dough. Called to ask what the deal was and I got no help over the phone read more

I ordered the boneless wings with a side of waffle fries. The waffle fries were ok but soggy and not crunchy at all. the boneless wings were the most disgusting thing ever! They were very salty, dry and hard to chew. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

First time I got them I thought maybe they had a rough day, but after the wings I just ordered I can definitely say this is the worst wings place in state college. I ordered the boneless wings combo with French fries. When it arrived wing sauce was all over the bag and soaked through the French fry bag so they where just lying in the bottom of the plastic bag. There were hardly any French fries at all! The boneless wings were bad. They were rubbery like microwaved chicken fingers and had hardly any taste. Avoid this place at all costs. I just finished with a combo order and I'm still hungry ! read more

The wings were horrible, the serving was horrible. The place itself looks grimy (yes even for state college). I predict this place shuts down soon enough. Wings over happy valley takes the cake in regards to wings. If i want to sit down and enjoy wings (at a bar), go to Kildaires. read more

Just got my order and the wings are COLD...not had to wait for other things to be cooked luke warm...cold. They gave me the wrong sides and the wings clearly have been sitting out for a LONG time. read more

Absolutely terrible. Our wings were cold and dry when they arrived and our sides were soggy and just overall really terrible. Stay away. Worst wings in state college read more

Despite its curious name, I decided to try Zen because I wanted to compare it to Happy Valley's other wing Power house-Wings Over. I ordered the boneless wings hoping they would bring me to a state of "tranquility". However, that wasn't the case. Other than the delivery taking more than an hour, the wings were tough and bland. All I can say is thank God for Blue cheese dressing. read more

Never again. I ordered garlic parm wings and they arrived, black, shriveled and dry. Totally inedible. When I called to complain they said that that's just how they make the wings. Thank goodness I at least got a refund. read more

When I first tried this place out I was not impressed. (Maybe partial to the fact that I wasn't in the right state of mind if you know what I mean). But honestly I would prefer this place over Wings Over anyday. First things first, they do take their sweet time filling your order and delivering it. When I order for delivery I kind of expect it to take a little longer but 45 min to an hour waiting for an order of wings is a little ridiculous. Also, the delivery people are insanely hard to understand. I've had plenty of professors here who don't speak the native language and they at least are concerned about not getting the right point across. The people at Zen are very rude if you ask them to repeat themselves and I've even had one of their delivery people hang up on me. The only saving grace to this place is the food. The wings always come out juicy and delicious and my personal favorite in terms of sauce is the Teriyaki. Their onion rings are also crunchy and even with the long wait they are still hot and ready to be dipped in ketchup. Their portions are perfectly sized in my opinion and their prices are decent for the quality you get in each order of food. Overall, I would just stick to take-out from this little place. read more

I ordered a dinner boneless wing special that stated "a half pound or more of boneless wings" when it arrived there was about 5 wings in the box. Two were about the size of one's pinky and when I weighed it it was barely over a third of a pound It also came with fries which were mediocre, about the quality you could expect from a fairground. I also got a pasta salad bowl...which I dont know about everyone else here but when I think pasta salad I think of mostly pasta with some cheese and veggies mixed with some sauce but apparently what their idea of a pasta salad is a literal salad with about 5 pieces of pasta in it. This whole thing costs 11 dollars before the delivery fees and such jack it up to almost 13 dollars and all I can say is that I'm just disgusted with it all...it was neither cheap or good for the price at all, Also as far as quality you could literally buy a bag of breaded tenders from anywhere, microwave them into a soggy mess, and then coat them with a sauce or rub and you basically have Zen's wings...I've heard some of their other stuff is good but I dont care enough to try it...DONT FUCK UP THE ONE FOOD THATS IN THE TITLE OF YOUR RESTAURANT! read more

Zen Wings & Things - These are their wings and idea of half a pound or more of them - Asian Fusion Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

By far the worst place I've ever ordered from in state college. Food came an hour late chicken was raw mozzarella sticks were solidified. Called and was told I wasn't getting a refund because it's directed towards "drunk college kids", sad thing was I am a college student who was drunk when I ordered it and it was the poorest made meal I've ever consumed. I would give this place negative stars if I could. never order from here it's terrible. read more

This place is not worth ordering from. We ordered food and it took over an hour to get here and then when we finally got the food my fried dumplings were burnt and tasted horrible. The driver also forgot the 2 liter soda we ordered and he didn't speak English so he mumbled something before running away from our door. We called the store to have them take the soda charge off and before my roommate could ask them to do this they said they would have the soda out to our apartment soon. An hour and 15 minutes later we still didn't have the soda so we called again and they said the driver forgot to take the soda again. This seems to be a common problem for this place. Don't waste you money on their poor service and crappy food. read more

Not the worst wings I ever ate, but definitely not the best. I ordered from them, in all honesty, because Wings Over was closed and I was really in the mood for wings. I saw the rating, but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Cons: -the chicken was not the best quality -the sauce is definitely watered down or something -my food came cold, which is probably due to the fact it took over an hour to deliver Pros: -it's pretty cheap for the amount you get Overall, I won't be ordering again. I'd rather stick to Wings Over. read more

The food here was just awful - it's like they bought it from walmart then over-cooked it. Do not waste your money here

Zen Wings & Things is probably the best food delivery place in state college as long as you stay away from the "Things" and stick to getting boneless, suicidal-flavor wings. I have eaten these exact wings almost twice a week for 2 years of my life and I have only regretted it about 9 or 10 times. There is literally nothing better after waking up Sunday morning after a night of drinking. It is THE hangover cure. Not only are their wings saucy and delicious, but in my experience they have a gauranteed life cycle of 30 minutes. Sure you could go get some laxatives, but they lack the flavor and sometimes even the consistency that Zens has to offer. It cleanses my body of all the horrible things I exposed it to the night before. I will be a Zens fan until the end!!! read more

Give me food and i'll eat it, but please not Zen's. Personally, I try and avoid bad reviews, but I was so unsatisfied with my experience with Zen's that I had to share my experience. My food took forever to be delivered, around an hour and 15 minutes. I ordered the boneless wings combo because I was shocked at the good pricing. I know now why it was cheap. When I received the wings, the sauce was spilled all over the bag. None of the sauce was left on the wings. Even worse, the wings were cold. After a quick zap in the microwave, I began eating them. The wings were very dry, and they tasted like they had been sitting around for a couple days. Before I ordered, I read the horrible reviews and didn't want to believe them. I took the chance and regret it. Take my advice, and read the reviews. read more

Up until today I've had good experiences with them. Today the order took them almost an hour and a half to deliver. The wings arrived warm and the sauces on the side containers had spilled inside the styrofoam box. Needless to say I will not be ordering from this place again. read more
