Cafeterias near Irvine, CA

“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.“

“I would say this is the better of the two dining halls, in terms of food offerings but especially atmosphere. There are almost always more options here than Brandywine, though the food quality is usually equal. The atmosphere is much better with tall ceilings, large windows, and plenty of sunlight compared to the almost cavernous Brandywine. If you don't have a meal plan, it's probably not worth it to come here since it costs $15 per meal, unless you are very hungry. Try the lomo saltado if they have it.

Vegetarian options: They usually have a dedicated vegan selection and another "plant-forward" offering“

“Hopefully you never become to a visitor, because hospital experiences are scary for everyone. BUT IF YOU DO. Come here to calm down, the food has no right to be this good for the price. I swear to god, i spent pretty much around 10 bucks for a huge portioned out meal and a drink. It was A LOT of food. The food is generally filipino heavy, which...if you've never had before, good starting point!“
