Cafeteria in a university, can’t expect too much. Food was fresh, liked the crispy onion added and the sauce. Service was not ideal, the staff there didn’t like to answer questions about the food.

There is always a line at this spot on campus because the food is just that amazing. The dishes are absolutely delicious, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's truly a treat!

Stanford in campus counter style cafe offering a blend of Southeast Asian flavours. One has to lower expectations given that this is within the university and caters to a diverse set of diners, so the tastes are milder vs the local Asian staples. A good representation nonetheless of Asian cuisine. The dining area is soley outdoors but relatively clean and provides a good campus spot to have ones meal and to meet up. No toilets available.
Vegetarian options: Counter style gives you options but ask servers on specific ingredients used
Parking: Stanford University parking system in effect while free parking lots are further situated with the use of free shuttles
Kid-friendliness: Ample options for kid's tastes
Wheelchair accessibility: Spacious seating outdoors but ordering has to be done by counter

Decent Asian fusion food, but there are a few things that could use improvement. The meats are tender but a bit dry. The kimchi is ok, but it's vegan, so you'll miss the savory element of non-vegan kimchi that normally includes anchovy or salted shrimp. I still think it's one of the best places to get lunch on Stanford campus, and I usually get the marinated beef. That being said, the beef doesn't look particularly appetizing; it's actually grey, rather dull in color, and almost looks like it's been steamed or boiled. It's very tender, but, as I mentioned previously, it's rather dry. I tried the fried rice this time around, and it was pretty disappointing; the rice was overcooked, mushy, and lacking in flavor. Next time, I'll stick to the steamed white rice. There are plenty of toppings to choose from, and they cost nothing extra, so load up on the scallion, fried onion, achara (pickled shredded daikon and carrot), corn, spinach, etc. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I ate here because I noticed that they have (presumably) fresh squeezed calamansi juice. If you've never had it before, calamansi is a Philippine(?) hybrid citrus fruit; the result of crossbreeding kumquat and mandarin orange. It has a very unique taste and is absolutely DELICIOUS. Kind of a fragrant, perfumy, incrediblely sweet, and tart flavor. If you're not excited about the food, at least stop in to get the calamansi. My only critique of the calamansi is that they apparently squeeze and pour the cups ahead of time, with ice. So, the ice tends to melt a little and dilute the flavor before the customer gets to taste it. Perhaps you can ask for it with no ice, or with less ice, and they'll pour a fresh one for you that hasn't been sitting at the pass. I'll have to try this next time.

Blend is my favorite place for lunch on campus! The kimchi fried rice sub is so good! You can get half and half for proteins. I recommend adobo, tocino, and grilled chicken.
PLEASE DON’T give this white paper bag for take aways, it’s not strong enough. I took only two boxes and there was minimum amount of sauce on the beef, but with very little amount of sauce leak the bag was torn apart and all my food was on the ground!They have amazing coffee and lemonade ❤️

It was below $11 a year ago, and now it's over $13.50 (after tax). The food is good, but the wait can be half an hour on a busy day.
Delicious food and good options.
