I felt robbed…. Paid 24$ for this subpar lunch. I will never go there again.
July 14 · Harry Seenauth
Breakfast quality is excellent and lunch is good though everything is overpriced. All packaging and boxing, even bags are all heavy duty plastic . Paper is not even a choice if you ask during lunch hours (oatmeal boxes can be used during breakfast). Feedback form on their website is faulty and staff refuses to pass on message to management/ doesn’t care.

The food is DELICIOUS! It’s buffet style and is consistently good. However, the prices will sneak up on you. Each time I’ve been here, I’ve paid well over $30 for food. While it’s really good, the prices are really bad. It’s definitely not a place to eat at multiple times a week if you work in the area mainly because of the cost.Otherwise, there’s a huge variety of great food for everyone. From fresh salads, sandwiches, and desserts, to the buffet bar.

It pains me to write this because I really do like dishes and we order catering from them all the time. However, I ordered lunch from there yesterday and was extremely disappointed in the quality and size of my lunch! I ordered the Chinese tahini noodles and was very underwhelmed. I also paid $14.70 after taxes and this felt like only a snack. It was very, very salty as well. Would not recommend getting pickup for lunch, portion size was way too small and very salty. For larger orders, I would say they are better.

Price is insane! This meal cost me nearly $30. If i knew how much the prices rose, I would not have come here. I haven’t been to this location in about 10 years, but this insane pricing makes for a terrible value proposition.The food itself is decent.
