The place is amazing. It is kinda like Green but also has meat and other foods. I had the veggie burger and it comes with a lil salad. I am a 170lb boy and I can eat, but I was full, maybe too full. The thing is there is a reason why there are PORTIONS! And they are generous. I could have easily split the burger with my gf. SECOND, it does cost a little. I think my amazing burger with the little amazing salad was 8.45 or something, but what you people do not understand is so so many countries around the world spend abotu 40-60% sometimes higher of their income on food. FOOD IS A NEED! Not a want like your purse or your car. We will spend hundreds of dollars on an iPod or on a LV purse or this or that but want to spend nothing on one of the most important things, OUR BODY! Take care of it. Eat right, regardless of cost. I am not saying goto Ruth Chris and buy an 85 dollar steak. But living sustainably and eat fresh food IS more expensive than eating cheap crappy unhealthy MacDonalds or Filly B's. Wake up and quit being NIAVE. In response to the other two and on my own.

I order the California sushi roll often. Only $5, plus that includes all-you-can-drink beverage station, as well as free bread and butter the servers will bring to your table! Other times, I'll split a large pasta or the really filling tri-tip marinated sandwich with a friend. If those are $8-12, we only end up paying $4-6 each (not to mention bread and drinks).

Food quality is low, wait time is very long, and portions are minuscule. I'm a small girl, but even after a salad, pasta, and pie I'm still hungry. Plus it's very expensive, for all the above the total cost was 32$, for a student it's pretty much unaffordable. Place sucks. Food quality is low, wait time is very long, and portions are minuscule.
