Pines

As a second year student, Pines is one of the more chillaxed dining hall with the best comfort food. I always go for hEAT and order 1) chicken fried rice, 2) Korean pork yum yum bowl, 3) oyakodon chicken, or 4) mapo tofu noodle (not pictured). Toasted is good too, but since this dining hall is at the center of Muir, there’s easy access to a market. Nothing out of this world, but its reliable selection makes it the ideal cafeteria.

I will eat here for 7 weeks as I am in a summer camp pando is highly recommended, the food even if sometimes they are a little bland, you can not get bored of eating here, they have a lot of food there, the drinks are very good, they have natural drinks and soft drinks of all kinds, coffee and tea also should be clarified. is a place where I will not get tired of eating. Note: (If you are a foreigner it is highly recommended that you bring with you some Pepto Bismol pills because the food is prepared with a lot of seasoning and falls quite heavy especially the first few days, you can also lighten it by eating fruit before each meal and with glasses of water, but I still recommend bringing them in case of discomfort).

Food is good but service can get really overwhelmed by sheer numbers. Pines is in the middle of campus so a lot of people go there. Most times is easier to order well in advance.

I debated giving it a 4 or 5 star. It's a nice place to eat, but no more than that. I had some recommendations from someone, and they were good. Aside from those few dishes the ones I randomly decided to try were okay. Prices ranged from $9-$14 depending on what I ate.

Excellent Breakfast and decent variety compared to other places on campus - but my biggest problem with this place is that they serve the SAME THING EVERYDAY. After two years at Muir I can't really go here anymore for anything other than breakfast simply because I am tired of the lack of options day to day. Not quite as good as 64 degrees and Canyon Vista in my opinion, but the breakfast is the best on campus.
