Galanga by Cozy Thai: "A New Star on College Ave. ~ Galanga" Top 5 Page for this destination State College Restaurant Tip by starship

During one of our last visits to State College we wanted to take our daughter out to eat. She mentioned that one of the places on College Ave. that was becoming very popular with both students and visitors was a fairly new restaurant named, "Galanga by Cozy Thai". She had been there a couple of times with friends and raved about it.

So on a chilly evening we dashed over hoping to beat the dinner crowd but I guess lots of others had the same idea because there was already a line. Though we really had to wait only 10 -15 minutes for a table, the aromas drifting around the shabby chic, Asian-inspired decor were enough to make your mouth water!

Service was excellent and in no time we were enjoying our dinner and enjoying the lively atmosphere. The decision on what to order had been difficult because all the options were tempting. In the end, each of us ordered something different so that we could try one another's choice. Between the 3 of us we had pad thai with chicken and cashews, pineapple fried rice, and a spicy curry chicken dish. Everybody was pleased.

With prices that are affordable-- even for students -- good food, nice atmosphere and good service, we will definitely return on our next visit to State College.
