    I like this place for a cheap lunch.

    Only thing I've ever tried is the 'home salad' which is just a salad bar of all sorts of goodies, including veggies, pastas, other noodles, Korean sprouts, fresh fruit...etc.  It's delightful.  Never a big line.  Quick service.

    They do not accept credit card.  Only faux pas.

    There are plenty of places to eat in the Grange, many of them are pretty good.  Don't be intimidated by the outdated decor of this food court.  It's top notch.

    When this first place opened up I was in mourning for the lost of my beloved Island Foods that once occupied it. Where was I to get my patties on a bun or my doubles? Even if they were served with an indifference so chilling it gave you shivers. I eyed suspiciously at the swift renovations and at the Korean family that buzzed around when they took over the place. Then scoffed at the menu. Western omlets? Sandwiches? They really took fusion food literally in their name.

    It wasn't until sitting in class when a friend of mine plop herself down with chopsticks and opened a gigantic box of food, that had been straining to stay closed. What is THAT?

    For $5.64, she explained, they take a large container and cram it with every imaginable salad, cold noodle, and Korean panchan as possible. As long as it fits in the box, you can get whatever you like.

    Poor (as a student usually is) and hungry (that too) I went back the next day and nearly laughed at the mound and the variety of things they put into my take out container. Is is awesome? No not really.It was good  and it definitely wasn't horrible. For a working student with no money and an appetite it was still perfect.

    I had breakfast here the other day. Not exactly a winner. Eggs were weirdly cooked, the toast was burnt, it was lame.

    I have to knock this place back a skosh, because while their portion sizes are still massive the food really isn't all that. Still some decent finds, but it's getting harder to find awesome on the menu.

      Every food court has that one spot where businesses never seem to thrive. At the VBTG food court… Read more »
