For a university, this cafeteria is quite good. It was better than I expected, but it was still a university cafeteria. I wish there were some healthier options other than salad and vegetarian options, but overall the quality of the food was good and the chefs were overall quite nice and efficient. I would have probably rated 4.5 stars, except for these few drawbacks and there is this terrible old lady that works there that acts like she hates people. She just works the line and sometimes the cashier, but she makes it so that people are inclined to eat at another time when she isn’t there just so they can avoid her awful personality. I’m not sure she understands how COVID precautions are supposed to work, and she gets mad at you for being more than a metre away from her when showing her your card to get into the cafeteria or when speaking to her about where you are going to get food. Absolutely disrespectful and kind of treats the other workers like she needs to be involved in everyone’s business.
There are good options but I felt it's too costly considering the quantity. I would recommend South West bowl from Veggie Kitchen, although price doesn't match portion at 10$. I like Bowl kitchen but once during dinner, I got a Thai Stir Fry and the brown rice was really dry, you couldn't eat it. Sandwich kitchen is kinda like subway but costlier. Really, why should a dining option in residence, for students, should not be subsidized is beyond me. 4$ for tiny cups of desserts. C'mon guys.
