Better food than the Pavillion, but it’s way more expensive. Like 16 dollars for a plate of “pad thai”? Nah homie, that’s just pasta with hoisin and soy sauce. Also pretty limited choices, like half the DC doesn’t even open at times. But I guess it’s worth it, if you have the money.

Food is better than at the pavilion and only slightly more expensive. Hours are kinda restrictive. Staff are nice. Plenty of seating. Best part is the name, most people give up on pronounciation but I prefer calling it YA BLOKE OFF!

The Thai food is really good but closes more that the dinning in the Pavillion. However, If you’re living on campus eating the same food all over again can make you feel like youre done with it. So depending on your liking you should go to Pabillion sometimes.

Since the opening of the Pavilion this past summer, the food quality in the old DC has risen a lot. I recommend it over the Pavilion, but its options are limited and it’s not open at all on the weekends.

The DC offers a variety of food. Students set a positive and lively environment and mood for anyone. There’s different choices of food (Mexican, American, Asian, etc.) Servers are generally friendly and in a good mood.

Food here is fine, but it’s not far from pavilions quality. Restaurants in yabolokoff seem to be much worse than their counterparts downtown, and prices aren’t any cheaper.

The Yablokoff-Wallace Dining Center was a great experience for me, the inside structure looks old, however, the food is great. Personally, I recommend the tacos.

There aren’t a million options here but what’s available is very good from my experience. A lot better than pre-pavilion ywdc. Slightly pricey though but worth it
