staff at burger station consistently rude, brings the place down, the short one

Incredibly disappointed with this dining hall. We came in before 8 and told the lanky mustached cashier dude that we were new here and weren't too familiar with how it worked. He enthusiastically told us that we could eat as much as we wanted and heavily encouraged us to eat there.
Well after entering, what do we discover: almost all food stations are closing. Dude didn't even have the decency to warn us that the $16 we were paying for this shit wouldn't even give us a full meal. And why close so much stuff that early?
Anyways, as for the actual food, it was satisfactory at best. The chicken fillets were super undercooked and still pinkish on the inside. Pizza was okay but nothing spectacular. Wraps' flavor was just too strong. I couldn't eat anything else they had cause they had so much pork in literally everything (spring rolls, pasta, etc.). Those stations closed soon anyway.
Overall, I would maybe consider lunch here just out of curiosity, but if you come here for dinner after 8 you're actually better off burning the money. Centerpointe at CPP is honestly way better even though Brandywine is more well known.

Food is just OK. Many times the people here don’t know how to cook chicken. The chicken is always too raw and pink. Besides that sometimes they don’t cook food all the way through. However, I’ve had a decent experience with the food and generally I like it. Just stay away from the pizza, not too great. Good value for your dollar as well, and the drinks are great. Lots of options and great + diverse seating, although they fill up quickly.
P.S. their dole whip is delicious.

Being an international student, campus dining never felt like home to me, but this place truly resonates with that comforting vibe. The food here is nourishment for the soul.

The food was very mediocre tonight. The menu was fried rice and kung pao pork. It was unacceptable. As a first generation asian, i believe the food to almost be a disgrace. Earlier today was pesto pasta. At first i was excited but to my surprise, the pasta was not al dente and the pesto had a strange herbal taste to it. Overall, would not recommend. From a UCI student to another, save your meals and just go to Anteatery.

I enjoyed the food and all cooks were very nice, however the girl at the register named Bunnie, will greet you when she feels like it or doesn’t say anything at all making it super awkward and will be on her phone the entire time not acknowledging her coworkers or students.

So many different things to eat here. The space to eat outside is small.

Really good place to have breakfast and lunch. Dinner seems same as lunch
Fast, clean, well organized, excellent variety, full-menu cafeteria at a VERY reasonable price.

Food is alright with decent variety, but the layout of the dining hall is a bit poorly designed where if the lines get long, they crowd into the tables and dining areas. The place is also a bit dark in general since there is not much natural lighting besides some sky holes.

Overall very good and and healthy place to eat. However I noticed that some pork dishes (especially those dishes with big chunks of meat such like pork lions) are somewhat smelly. May need some additional rinsing before cooking.
Vegetarian options: There is always at least one dedicated vegan meal. Other vegan products are also labeled.
Kid-friendliness: Some chairs and tables are suitable for kids.

It's my first time at this cafeteria. The food is better than I thought it would be. The tables and chairs were clean when we say down, although we were early to lunch. It has enough variety to choose from and the quality was alright. It's a convenient location for anyone on campus and there is seating indoors and outdoors.
