The chicken fried rice is the best thing I have ever consumed in my ENTIRE life. I hope that whoever this made this masterpiece has a cold pillow every single night of their entire life. I love you
This is pretty good for a dining hall on the campus of UCSD. It's great that you can use your dining dollars for a restaurant experience without leaving campus. They start with a free appetizer of fried wonton skins in a seaweed cone. Two kinds of dipping sauces - savory and sweet. We had to use the rest of the dining dollars since it's "use it or lose it". Had the rainbow roll $11, spring rolls with chicken $8, pulled pork sliders $13, bistro stack with ahi tuna poke $9. Everything was quite tasty. Note: they do not accept tips. Just use your dining dollars or pay with .
