Blend Eatery

Blend @ Anette's is new, and happens to be one of the best places to eat on campus. The Filipino style food is authentic and tasty, and the long line by noon speaks for itself. I've tried the beef and the pork (Tocino) and they are both delicious. The variety of vegetable toppings and sauces keeps things interesting and fresh, and an optional fried egg is perfect for those times you just need some yolk in your life. At about $10 a bowl it isn't the cheapest option on campus, but the flavors and good quantity make it well worth the price--and the wait!

Blend is my favorite place for lunch on campus! The kimchi fried rice sub is so good! You can get half and half for proteins. I recommend adobo, tocino, and grilled chicken.

Tapas beef was absolutely delicious from the Stanford Hospital location! Service 10/10, so kind and informative to a first timer

There is always a line at this spot on campus because the food is just that amazing. The dishes are absolutely delicious, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's truly a treat!

My go to place every time I decide not to cook. Decent portions and quite tasty. The lines are quite random, so either order online or go early. I recommend doing half and half of protein.

5 stars no doubt. everything you need in a lunch place right here. quick food, GOOD FOOD with real taste and flavor, at a price that you would expect. So many spots to eat outside nearby, vibes are prime with a ton of people coming here for lunch as well. Hidden gem and def worth the time, you won't regret it.

Out of all the Stanford Campus dining options, this one is the best and most popular. Only open for lunch, but this tasty Asian fusion place will keep you coming back with your loyalty punch card for that free 10th lunch before you know it! Line is always out the door but moves quickly.

Really good "create your own" bowl Asian fusion spot. Several options of protein with even more options of toppings. Everything can be served with an egg on top that adds to the overall flavor. The Loco Moco is a slight variation on the bowl, that has some excellent gravy over a burger and egg over rice. Lines are generally pretty long, but we'll worth the wait.

Stanford in campus counter style cafe offering a blend of Southeast Asian flavours. One has to lower expectations given that this is within the university and caters to a diverse set of diners, so the tastes are milder vs the local Asian staples. A good representation nonetheless of Asian cuisine. The dining area is soley outdoors but relatively clean and provides a good campus spot to have ones meal and to meet up. No toilets available.

Cafeteria in a university, can’t expect too much. Food was fresh, liked the crispy onion added and the sauce. Service was not ideal, the staff there didn’t like to answer questions about the food.

Long lines, make sure to order online beforehand. Food selection is pretty standard for "bowl" type lunches, portions also on the smaller side which I do appreciate. Seems consistent, and the brown rice option + pickled veg are great add ons! I recommend getting half and half for the proteins.

PLEASE DON’T give this white paper bag for take aways, it’s not strong enough. I took only two boxes and there was minimum amount of sauce on the beef, but with very little amount of sauce leak the bag was torn apart and all my food was on the ground! They have amazing coffee and lemonade ❤️

good selection the tocino is very salty

Decent Asian fusion food, but there are a few things that could use improvement. The meats are tender but a bit dry. The kimchi is ok, but it's vegan, so you'll miss the savory element of non-vegan kimchi that normally includes anchovy or salted shrimp. I still think it's one of the best places to get lunch on Stanford campus, and I usually get the marinated beef. That being said, the beef doesn't look particularly appetizing; it's actually grey, rather dull in color, and almost looks like it's been steamed or boiled. It's very tender, but, as I mentioned previously, it's rather dry. I tried the fried rice this time around, and it was pretty disappointing; the rice was overcooked, mushy, and lacking in flavor. Next time, I'll stick to the steamed white rice. There are plenty of toppings to choose from, and they cost nothing extra, so load up on the scallion, fried onion, achara (pickled shredded daikon and carrot), corn, spinach, etc. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I ate here because I noticed that they have (presumably) fresh squeezed calamansi juice. If you've never had it before, calamansi is a Philippine(?) hybrid citrus fruit; the result of crossbreeding kumquat and mandarin orange. It has a very unique taste and is absolutely DELICIOUS. Kind of a fragrant, perfumy, incrediblely sweet, and tart flavor. If you're not excited about the food, at least stop in to get the calamansi. My only critique of the calamansi is that they apparently squeeze and pour the cups ahead of time, with ice. So, the ice tends to melt a little and dilute the flavor before the customer gets to taste it. Perhaps you can ask for it with no ice, or with less ice, and they'll pour a fresh one for you that hasn't been sitting at the pass. I'll have to try this next time.

Not a bad place to get a healthy lunch. I always get rice with grilled chicken, several of the veggie options, and top it off with a fried egg. The line does get a bit long during lunchtime, but I heard that they now have an option online where you can order to pickup. I haven't tried that out for myself yet, so can't comment.

Really good place to grab lunch right in the middle of the chemistry and biology buildings. The food is good, though a bit expensive. The location is a bit small to handle the volume of orders that are present around lunch time, so be prepared for a substantial wait to get your order in. I really really wish this location was open later in the day; closing at 2 pm is the worst when running late to grab lunch in the middle of the work day. You realize it is past 2 and have to go somewhere else. Should be open until at least 3 pm, if not also for dinner.

Food is great, but the meat is often dry. Its cooked befors they open and placed into serving trays. Their portions are also extremely small. You can get about 3x the amount of food at panda express for the same price. Overall, however, the meat is good if you happen to not get the dry pieces. Also, the veggies are excellent. I recommend the broccoli, kimchi, and tocino.

The tall lady with bandana adding my toppings was extremely rude and condescending. Ruined my dining experience.
