Description

Located inside the student center, this counter-serve spot pairs its menu with campus convenience, accepting dining dollars for quick meals. Beyond the raw fish, the kitchen turns out classic East Asian dishes like teriyaki chicken and gyu don bowls, alongside baked egg tarts and vanilla matcha. It is a clean, speedy spot that doubles as a snack and study niche. Just dress warmly if you plan to stay; visitors note the air conditioning runs exceptionally cold.
