  I decided to come to a lunch buffet on Thursday, March 1, 2018 after a two hour workout at the UNLV Student Recreation and Wellness. Man I was really hungry and I forgot that the campus has a "buffet".
  
  They have:
  - Salad area
   - Condiments
  - Pizza & Pasta area
   - Pasta
   - Pizza
   - Mac and Cheess
  - Vegitarian area
   - Desserts
     - Cookies
  - International area
   - Mexican food
  
  They had tons of variety of foods but it depends on the week you come in, sometimes they have certain foods.
  
  The price may be cheap here because there are no servers, it's more of cleaning yourself up by putting your dirty dishes on the belt line and refilling your drinks. Also make sure to put something on your seat otherwise your seat will be taken.
  
  The food here overall is alright. Hey, it's not a "fancy" dining room where you pay a cheap price right? I think the food here is made by graduate students here.
  
  But other than that, I still recommend coming here if you are very hungry.

  Trash quality.
  Trash food.
  Dirty, theres never any napkins.
  I only eat here because Im forced to via DORMING and having a meal plan. Its just another way for the university to milk us students for money.

  Disgusting ass food and rude staff. Owner is a White male with a beard. He once accused me of not being a student while trying to enter the Tonopah dorm. Anyway, was in line trying to get a burger like every and any other person. For absolutely no reason, I was accused of cutting in line and being a liar. I was in line next to two White males and can only assume it was due to my race as there was no other difference between myself and the other people in line. Rude staff, revolting food and a dick head owner. Go to the student union and get some Starbucks or Jamba Juice

  I do not eat here often but this is a beautiful dining room compared to when I first came here.  After its renovation and Aramark took over from Sodexo, many things changed - seating area, decor, arrangement of the different stations, and the introduction of Coke products.  When I first stopped in here, it was to see my students and be visible outside of my office.  Now, the students I have are busy running their own restaurants on campus so I just come for the food.
  
  Yes, you heard it!  The DC posts its menus 2-3 weeks in advance by the day and the meal.  I stalk the menu waiting for the pad thai day.  There was a time I walked in and boom - there was pad thai.  It was so good!  I also came in once and had Chinese chicken stir fry served in take out boxes....yum!
  
  Today was Pad Thai day according to the menu for lunch, along with Thai beef red curry.  Well, I paid for lunch ($9.03 with tax, so it has gone up a tad) and headed straight for where the curry should be.  Well, there was a shrimp curry instead, so I got that on rice.  Then I go to the where the pad thai should be and nope...no pad thai....BUT - MONGOLIAN BBQ?!?!!?  There was the giant Mongolian grill thingy, bowls, different veggies to add, choice of meat, and choice of sauces!  AND choice of spicy on a scale of 1-5!  (Choice of rice or noodles too!!!!)  What???  There was a long line but I got in at the right time.
  
  I got broccoli, napa cabbage, onion, bamboo shoots, baby corn, water chestnuts, ginger, garlic, bean sprouts.....mmmm!  Then I asked for beef, a combo of soy and chile sauce, and spicy level 3 or 4, with noodles.  The action chef handled about 7 orders on her grill, but knew which meals belonged to each customer.  While I waited I ate my shrimp curry (yummy).  Then, it was ready.  I ran my steaming bowl over to the salad bar and sprinkled edamame on top, clutching my chopsticks.  I also found TWO types of fresh red beets (shredded raw and fresh roasted) - put those in a little bowl, and scurried over to a table near the Coke products.
  
  My steaming bowl was full of vegetables, with a ton of beef, lots of spice and flavor, and the beets on the side cooled me down.  Though I did not get any of the Thai offerings on the menu, this was a very pleasant surprise and I left wholly satisfied...though now I wonder if the menus are ever going to be what is actually there!  The salad bar is always awesome, and I hope to return for more beets in the future.  They play 90s on 9 here!!!!

  This place disgusts me. I feel sorry for the staff, they're treated poorly. The customers are treated like trash. Awful all around
