Crossroads is fine for buffet-style, I guess, but it's like $9 for dinner. No, thanks.

<p>It's 7.5 points which is $7.50. That's pretty cheap for a buffet.</p>
<p>Are you guys calling the Durant Food Court (Satay House, Steve's Korean BBQ, Mandarin House, etc.), the Asian Ghetto now?</p>

<p>That's only if you buy an entire package/meal plan, it comes out to that rate.</p>

<p>Yeah but if you don't have a meal plan, why would you eat at Crossroads?</p>
<p>All you youngin's... </p>
<p>The Asian Ghetto is a term that must have been coined in recent years. It was never referred to as that when I attended...</p>
<p>Khan, explains a lot. I keep telling a cousin about the Asian Ghetto and he keeps saying he never heard of it (he graduated several years ago.) I was wondering how he could have missed it in 4 years!</p>
<p>If Crossroads and Clark Kerr are $7.50 for dinner that is a pretty good deal if you think about it. The price includes dinner, a really good salad bar at Crossroads, dessert, beverages and tax and you don't have to tip.</p>

<p>...oy. This thread is about places to eat, and Crossroads was mentioned. It's still a restaurant that people can choose to eat at (and I choose not to).</p>
<p>For those with meal points to spend: the panini at Ramona's!</p>
<p>Right Dranakin, but it's unfair to attack Crossroads for $9.00 for dinner when 99% of the people there pay $7.50, and the 1%...I have no idea why they pay money to eat there.</p>
<p>With meal points:</p>
<p>Ramona's</p>
<p>Without:
Bongo Burger
Top dog
jasmine thai
naan n curry</p>
<p>Pizza within walking distance: Blondie's, Fat Slice, Cheeseboard
Pizza for delivery: North Beach
Pizza otherwise: Zachary's</p>
<p>Northside Burgers: Oscar's, Barney's</p>
<p>Others: La Burrita, Top Dog, La Val's, Mario's La Fiesta, Asian Ghetto (north side), Mayflower</p>
<p>My favorite Chinese (and probably favorite overall): Taiwan Restaurant</p>
<p>Brazil cafe at the berkely end of University is pretty good. Plus, there's like always a guy there giving out free samples.</p>
<p>Also second intermezzo. The salad they give is so ridiculously huge. It always fills you up.</p>

Ramona's!

</p>
<p>I've heard that Ramona's is arguably the best on-campus restaurant.</p>
<p>Right... $4 for a peanut butter and sandwich. LOL.</p>
<p>Their rice bowl is good the first few times, then I got sick of it, just like the food at the DC.</p>
<p>However, Miso Ginger salad dressing = best.</p>
<p>I've never been to Romona's, but heard their panini's are the best thing they got.</p>
<p>Romona's is basically the only place I use my mealpoints.</p>
<p>I was actually at The Terrace a few days ago (I kind of stumbled upon it) and grabbed a quick mocha. To my surprise, it was pretty good. It was the first good coffee place (other than Peets ) that I found on campus.</p>
