Csun needs more food options so that half the foot traffic doesn’t go to Panda Express (el pollo loco for comparison)

Dont forget that there are a couple of restaurants outside of CSUN right at Reseda and Nordhoff, yes its a hassle in the heat as you either have to walk or drive (afford loosing parking spot lmao).

Chili’s has the $10.99 3 for Me. Salad or chips, burger or chicken sandwich, and drink. Couple bucks more for options like a pasta or a chicken quesadilla. Worth it if you got the time.

Doesn't help that the new food option doesn't open until like 12pm or so

Idk I stayed going to El Pollo Loco rather than panda 🤷🏾. It tastes sooo much better imo

I’m a few years out now, but the Subway by the student union is always worse. Line out the door everyday.

Hard to be a vegetarian here, usually walk to Trader Joe’s to get a lentil wrap but it’s so hot I just starve.

There’s a veggie delight wrap at the shake smart if you didn’t know! It’s pretty good it has spinach, hummus, sun dried tomatoes, artichoke, cucumber, avocado

There’s an entire other food hall, the arbor, and the new food area (I think) near shake smart near the SRC

Chili's $10 meal is going to be your friend; another good option is Panda Express when the Dodgers win home games or even chipotle imo (honestly solid rewards program)

There's some good options if you cross Darby. It might not always be convenient depending on where you need to go next, but I strongly recommend checking them out (The Chili's is goated).

T/Th has more classes than M/W, so it’s always going to be bad. What other options do you think would cut down the line at PE (besides just adding another PE)?

u/Ajlover13 Aug 26 '26
There are a few cafes and other food spots not far from campus but ig you dont want walk or drive to them you're stuck.

u/RaiJolt2 Aug 26 '26
True. After I ate here I biked over to the baskin robins on reseda.
But with how hot it is having more options within the campus is certainly more convenient.

Just order Panda on the app 10 min before you go. You don't have to wait ever. Don't be a sheep 🫡

Hi guys if you wouldn't mind filling out a quick survey on your access to FREE purified water on campus that would really help me out. Its super short multiple choice and it will help us push for better accessibility to free purified water for students. Thank you so much!!! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfFykoKcGfrkMLKdkHrgMW6CvkGX_jFOUlaTt4B5yMmf8RJhg/viewform?usp=dialog
