Nice to have rotating hot entrees

Very good had a bowl of 🍜 pho. Was tasty. I wasn't planning to buy any food today, packed a lunch. There are two all gender bathrooms. There is an added to your pho bar $0.62 an ounce. Soup came fast, Wasn't crowded yet. I got there a little after 11. Getting crowded now. All in all a good experience a little over eight bucks out the door.

Absolutely the best place to eat on campus! When my family came to visit I brought them here just to try the Laksa soup, pho is delicious too :)! I’ve come at the peak of lunch rush many times and the staff is on top of refilling dishes and keeping stations clean which is much appreciated.

The prices are ridiculously high considering that their main customers are students. For example, what would normally be a $2 Odwalla protein shake cost ~$6 here. Also, I order a vegan tofu pho and it appeared to have meat bits in the bottom. I have always been unhappy with this establishment, and I eagerly await a different vendor to replace it.

I love the chicken laksa they serve for lunch. They get quite busy for lunch, but they're still quick to get you your food. Use self-check out if the line at the counter is long

I like the little hot bar, which usually has some vegan food on it. The flavors are fairly solid for food prepared at volume.

Honestly I can't give this place a low enough rating. Overpriced mediocre food that takes forever to receive, long lines. Choices are an expensive pay-by-weight buffet or soups and sandwiches. My bowl of tofu pho took 15 minutes to receive, and they also ran out of tofu but did not inform me until after I had ordered and paid. Consistently leaves me hungry and disappointed. Stanford, please get rid of this place and put in something better that can more effectively serve the lunch needs of this area!

The food selection is good, but like many Stanford-run cafes, the price to food ratio is bad. For example, the self-serve bar costs $11 for a reasonable quantity of food (if you're an active person). They sell things like Blue Bottle at a 20-30% markup. Long line.

Although there tends to be long lines and a lot of people, the food is not the best. The restaurant is open for a very short time every day and there is not always a table available to eat the food. The trash cans are frequently full so trash is always spilling onto the floor. However, there are several options and snacks to choose from. The employees seem nice, but tend to be always busy. Nonetheless, it is a nice place to eat at since it is right next to the Engineering Quad

Food is pretty good, you pay by the ounce so it can get pretty expensive if you want to eat a lot. Most options are pretty healthy, and there are choices for vegans/vegetarians. The pho was okay, I wish it had more flavor. There are many grab & go options as well. The location is very convenient if you spend a lot of time studying in Huang like I do.
