Came here for the first time tonight, and never again. For some so-called waste reducing protocols, I had to eat my food from a plastic container that had been eaten from by someone else already. It was disgusting and on top of that. They just handed me the Tupperware of food and mind you, my dorm is 1.5 miles away. I came on my bicycle and ended up having nowhere to put this food, I asked for a bag, and they don't offer that because, god forbid, that would be *wasteful.* not 1 bad in that establishment.
I don't think that they realize that by doing cr*p like this, they're implying that STUDENTS are the ones who're the waste. I wasn't even worth a bag to put my 2 containets of 30$ worth of food in to carry over a mile away, Im not even worth a clean tray for food or a clean container for food. A bag and being served in a single use container is worth more than making sure that students are comfortable. We pay so much money here to be treated like scavengers. This is the FOOD WE EAT.
So I finally made it back to my dorm with my food upside down all over itself cause i was biking with it in my arms, and it was all completely wet from condensation. For over an hour, I couldn't even look at the food because it smelled like a public restroom. So foul. Finally I got hungry enough to open the container that contained corn bread (still havent opened the chicken mac n cheese), and I can not explain to you, the putrid awful smell from this cornbread IT'S CORNBREAD. Can't get simpler. I chucked it in the trash can immediately, and there goes my money and my appetite.
Afterward, I tried to wash the cornbresd container, and no matter how many times I rubbed it down with dish soap and boiling hot water, it still smelled like old musty food.
I CANNOT believe I was served food in reusable plastic tupperware from someone else tonight. Yall are competing with prison. "Commercial dishwasher" means nothing to me when you're serving and reserving meat inside PLASTIC tupperware. And do you know how unhygienic that is???
And they only recommend a light rinse (if you have the time) before returning these boxes! so people could really have them in their cars or in their dorms for MONTHS with food residue inside, and then you will get the same container with your fresh food inside. disgusting. Ridiculous!!!!!!!!

It's 7:18pm and they close at 9pm. They love either hanging up the phone or have it off the hook so calls don't come in. Called there multiple times.
Great food and service!

Good service and very rich
no place liked greeeeeeaaaat
Best breakfast dining hall on campus. Hands down. If you’re a regular, you will get noticed. Best to come right when it opens or before 9:00 am (rush hour). Also fine for lunch too. Lots of options and they account for holidays as well. Was closed for renovations last spring quarter but should look a lot nicer now. Definitely give it a shot if you haven’t already!
all of the employees are hot ?
It took me a bit to figure out how this works. Mostly students call ahead and pick up orders to go back to their rooms. They do allow outsiders to drop in but only take credit or debit cards.

The best meal of my life.
The crispy chicken sandwich is like the Spotify premium of your highschool chicken sandwich. I be scarfin down that godsend 24/7. Global got some cool dishes that will give you that feeling of a white mom that just discovered the spice drawer. Impinger's pasta bowls never miss as well. The seating area is pretty cool, with a raised middle section in case you want to lord over your peers as you slave away at MMW. Overall, I know it ain't the best dining hall at UCSD, but I rep cafe V 4ever ??
Often cold food at high campus prices
I'm a freshman starting at UCSD in ERC. The overall food quality and environment of the restaurant are good, but every time I try to order something off of the triton to go app, my order is either not received or late. (Not a restaurant. I’d recommend going to if you're in a hurry)
The staff was friendly and the service speed was pretty good. The food quality, on the other hand, left much to be desired. In addition, they only offer ice cream in chocolate, strawberry and coffee. In what universe is coffee a flavor preference over vanilla, generically speaking?
