Okinawa
Okinawa,is probably my favorite asian restaurant in State College. It's located at 450 East College Ave. When you first walk in the door, pull hard like the sign says. The door sticks a bit. Once inside, your standing in the noodle shop, walk back a bit and there's a sushi bar and in very back is the Hunan Wok. Don't bother with Hunan it's typical American Chinese. My Favorite is the noodle bar and on that menu are two items that I can't get enough of. The Shredded Beef & Hot Pepper Noodle Soup and the Pork Buns are fan-flippin-tastic!!!!!!!! $6.95 for a bowl, the size of your noogin and three Pork Buns for $3.50!!!!! The Beef & Hot Pepper soup is seriously spicy!!! If you love hot foods like "I", eat this! I'm pretty sure they're Serrano peppers, seeds and all end up in the bowl and thank god! The noodles are a thick noodle, I'm pretty certain they are Udon. The beef is fried then simmered in it's broth I have no idea what the other dishes are like, I only get the soup and buns when I go there. I wouldn't get the pork though, a friend ate it and ended up with a stomach ache. But if you do make sure it looks fresh, if not take it back and make them give you something else. Don't let that keep you from going though, no restaurant is void of mistakes and the soup is worth getting!
