People complain about the food here a lot yet most of their customers appear to be repeat customers. I honestly think it's just as good as other dining halls on campus such as Cafe V or Pines if you compare the food they all commonly serve, and World's Fair seems to be very popular. I personally think their food is mostly worth the price.

From Berkeley who have no halal dinning hall, love to see halal dinning hall here. Please try meditiranian sandwich too good. Best part they accept EBT. I love the scenery outside. Ngl

For UCSD students: This is the most convenient dining hall for those who live in Warren College. The food served by the "restaurants" (for lack of a better word) is decent but does not have every kind of food (e.g., sushi and pizza). It's a good spot to study inside and outside (unless you find wasps). The variety of grocery items is somewhat limited and can vary from time to time, so if you need something that you know was in stock before but can't find here, then Sixth Market is the place to go. Overall, it is a calm place that I prefer to go to than any other dining hall but lacks some variety in terms of food and groceries.

My favorite dining hall on campus (I am in Muir). The staff are some of the nicest people I've ever met and always greet you with a smile. What makes this place so good is the rotating variety, so it doesn't get boring. Also, the burgers are made to order and are super tasty. Lots of seating and the lines don't get too long like they do at Pines.

Food costs more than it probably should but good seating

Not great but not bad

If you're hungry enough, it will satisfy you greatly. On a regular day, though, it's only okay. It's not bad but nothing to celebrate. However it's in the process of being renovated and the food is starting to get better

If you eat here you may live. But expect to pay a lot for a very little. Also, I would avoid the chicken if you can because sometimes it is undercooked. Either that, it'll be dry. The food here is in tiny portions and you definitely will never get full.

It is an okay place to eat if you are starving. If you are looking for fancy food then canyon Vista is probably not the place to go.

Small servings of bad food for a high price. Go to price center (a food court) instead if you're visiting. Pretty much only students come here, because they are forced to buy dining dollars which can only be spent here.

Service sucks, student employees are undertrained and don’t know basic customer service skills. Presentation of food is disgusting. Don’t eat here. Very lazy chefs.

I wish i could give this place 0 stars. Wait times are ridiculous, quality of food is horrible, and any fried product (fries, onion rings, etc) are never fresh. When asked for a fresh batch , the answer is always no. For the amount of money being paid to this establishment, I should expect quality service. This is clearly not the case for Canyon Vista. Close it down and give us something better. Also, to the person who said pizza is "stellar", did HDH pay you to post that?

Trent Clements

This is by far the worst dining hall on campus, the staff has no idea what to do half the time and have seen them argue multiple times. They stop serving basically everything about 30 minutes before closing which makes no sense. They have no standards and workers cuss often, it makes me mad everyday to come here but it is the quickest of the dining halls, I will give them that.
