Avoid signing up for the meal plan here. The quality and variety of food decline significantly over time. Initially, they enforce strict cancellation deadlines, after which they cut costs—serving fewer options, repeating meals, and lowering food standards. I even fell ill from eating there, which negatively impacted my studies.

At $680 per month, the meal plan is a complete rip-off, especially since dorm students (without kitchen access) are forced into it. Once you check in, there's no guarantee of decent food. I strongly recommend exploring outside dining options for better quality and value in the long run.
(I signed up my meal plan here because I had no roommates (of my country) in my 1st semester to cook with.)

I really hope that students have other choices to eat. When we visited, I really wished they would have allowed us to take a look at their buffet before paying for it. The food was very dry and flavorless. You could tell it had been sitting there for a loooog time. The choices were very limited. Total disappointment 😞. Would NOT be going back.

The vegetables are always good if you are vegetarian. my favorite part is the Asian side but they don't open until 5pm. It's not as good as it was before the pandemic but it's getting better. They used to have more dessert options. The waffles are always good and available all day. I always enjoy breakfast. I hope they open the Asian side back up for lunch soon.

Place went DOWN hill. They serve dog meat (usually the case when there is no tag overhead saying what the dish is), and the place is literally called GMOs. The asian tiger restaurant is just leftovers from the last time the chefs ate at Panda Express (at least they order more than orange chicken). It's plain to see how many times they have reheated the food as the vegetables are completely wilted and burnt. this place is also home of the greasiest food. Guarantee no matter what you get, your plate will have a delicious coat of grease when you finish.

The lettuce in the salad bar is ALWAYS yellow. They must throw away all the clean looking lettuce leaves.

Side note: I also saw a mouse in the restaurant once. Take that information however you will. Personally, I was quite happy and appetized when i saw the mouse because it reminded me of ratatouille (my favorite vegan dish). However I know some would feel the complete opposite.

Chef Bryan has 25 years of "experience" yet the food he serves is horrible! There had been reports of students getting sick or food poisoned and the food he puts out is absolutely horrible! Do I eat there at times? Yes, but I have to be careful and pray that I don't get sick from the food. (Also one time they had runny ranch sauce and it looked like glue *metaphorically speaking* and I got diarrhea from it for an hour, it sucked).

Food is horrible and isn’t cooked right at times. I have a nut allergy and they have foods that contain nuts with no warning signs. Not only have I gotten allergic reactions from the food, but I have gotten food poisoning as well. Sometimes I will go to GMO’s and they will not even have food. It’s overpriced and not worth it whatsoever.

This place is weird. One day they’ll have some genuinely good food and the next it’s inedible. They also have a habit of getting rid of the best and most consistent food options - they used to have a Mexican area that would always have decent rice, beans, meat, and tortillas or chips but they removed it for some reason. Same with sushi - it wasn’t anything special but it was okay and they got rid of it.

Keep in mind, at around 4:30 pm they get rid of all the food for a half hour to prepare for dinner, which is ridiculous.

One thing that’s nice is they have a dedicated allergen free section for people with food allergies, which is great for me because I can’t have gluten. I can’t in good faith recommend you eat here though because it’s usually not very good. Last note - if you don’t go to college at CSUN, keep in mind if you go here you’ll be surrounded by college kids while you eat. It’s up to you if that’s a good or a bad thing.

The food is not good here at all, I've never finished a plate out of the 2 years I've been at csun. I usually just end up eating fries for dinner every night because that's the only decent thing they have. Any other time I have tried to eat their food I've gotten a stomachache.
