This student-run canteen offers a surprisingly decent dining experience for a casual campus-style eatery.

We ordered from the Asian cuisine section, which serves simple combo plates with a choice of two dishes accompanied by either fried rice or noodles, usually with some vegetables on the side.
Since we visited close to closing time, most items had already sold out, and only fried noodles were left as the base, without vegetables available anymore. For the two dishes, we picked fried pork and pan-fried seafood.

Despite the late hour, the food was still served fresh, hot, and well-seasoned. The fried pork was flavorful and satisfying, while the seafood dish was cooked nicely and paired well with the noodles. The portion was also fairly decent for a quick meal.

The main downside was the price, which felt slightly high for a student canteen setting. If the pricing were a bit more reasonable, the overall value would have been much better.
Still, considering the freshness of the food and the convenience, it turned out to be a pretty enjoyable meal. Overall, it’s a solid option for a quick Asian-style meal, and it’s definitely a place we would drop by again when nearby.

I love the concept of a kitchen ran by students and led by their instructors/chefs. I think it's a very good idea to let student have real world experience in dealing with customers and working in a fast pace environment to prepare for the real world. The food itself is not bad. There are drinks and snacks you can get as well.

I used to go to the cafeteria at VCC many years ago when I lived in Vancouver, and it was always for dinner, as well as the dining room at JJ's. But now I have moved to Toronto, and I'm back for a short visit, and I decided to actually check out the cafeteria at lunch, and it was just like it used to be. Great food, great service, and great prices. I decided to have the chicken pot pie, and loved it. It was not just pastry like some other places, but it was actually filled with vegetables and chicken, very, very tasty. And I will return tomorrow, Thursday, to get some to take out.

It's a college cafeteria. Food are quite good. But quite expensive considering it was prepared by students.

Amazing lunch deal. Had pork chop with mushroom rice, cheese stuffed jalapeno, broccoli and it was amazing. So worth the price.

What a find. Delicious food in downtown Vancouver for a quarter of the price. They had made in house French toast with real maple syrup, blueberry compote, and whipped butter, for $6 including tax and tip. Easily a $22 meal down the street. Great for families!! It is a college cafeteria though.

One star down because some students and instructors do not wear face covering, even when serving food at the counter!!! There's nothing I can do if you prepare the food at the back without mouth covering; but seeing servers talking on the food to be put on my plate right in front of me is a big turnoff and concern. Even without covid, it's common practice for food servers to cover mouth in order to avoid spitting on food. Please consider it.

The four-course combo costs $12, pork is good portion; ratatouille tastes good but I was given a quite small portion. The cabbage is too salty in my opinion... anyways, there's room for improvement 😎 3.5/5
