"One of the best places in State College! Amazing food. Very underrated, I wish I knew this long before."
Shanthan Kumar Padisala
"My son asked to go here for his birthday meal. He’s a regular but it was my first time here in years. I won’t take so long to come back!!
The buffet allows for many different combinations of veggies and meat in each dish. I particularly enjoyed the fried rice and shrimp that I made my second time through the line. Added some bean sprouts and broccoli as well as some sweet teriyaki sauce. Really good stuff. My first dish included pork but they also have beef and chicken available. They also have some sushi and desserts on the buffet.
The price for the buffet is very reasonable. Only $13.25. It’s a great bargain for a good buffet."

"This was my first visit to Chen’s. The food was really good and the service was good. The building seems a little run down and that would be my only negative. There are lots of options and it’s an all you can eat buffet for a reasonable price (less than $15 per person). I will visit again."
