Both times I ate it was a very bad experience because I wanted to choose the cafeteria quickly, but I had to wait for convenient fast food for 25-30 minutes each time. After waiting for 25 minutes I asked if I didn't start making it, and soon I gave me a cool cake.And I don't think the pricing and quality match，The attitude of the employees is not good

Dear future adventurersđź«Ł,
If you're seeking a dining experience that redefines all your expectations (downwards), look no further! The "Speedy Service Combo" here comes with:
Portion size perfect for your pet hamster!
Flavour profile that'll make you question if "culinary terrorism" should be a UN concern
Wait time allowing you to:
Learn a new language
Write your memoir
Watch crops grow (they might actually be harvesting your ingredients!)
Pro tip: Bring a dictionary to reinterpret words like "hearty", "tasty", and "value-for-money" - you'll need it!
Final Verdict: 0/5 Michelin stars. 11/10 in teaching patience & gratitude for all other food in the universe.
Highly recommended for masochists and alien lifeforms studying human suffering.

Lakeside wasn’t good to begin with but somehow it’s getting worse. You’d think if you’re paying over $100k for tuition you could expect decent food options on campus, but it’s all trash. Don’t be surprised if your food takes 30+ minutes, with no explanation or apology. Wouldn’t recommend ordering eggs unless you’re cool with mould. Pictured is the souvlaki salad, which took almost 40 minutes to come out. Honestly Bond, do better. The student body collectively hates Lakeside.
UPDATE: unsurprisingly, this salad made me sick and I’ve remained sick since. Don’t eat here.
The service was not welcoming, and the speed was lacking, despite the fact that the product quality was satisfactory.

Bond students collectively strongly dislike Lakeside. Their food is priced the same as a medium range restaurant with significantly worse quality. It's $9 for three chicken nuggets. And $12 for a lemon bar dessert the size of your pinky finger.
People only eat here because they are forced to purchase a dining card.
Last week I ordered a smoothie that had several chunks of plastic in it. If you have food allergies, you're out of luck. My friends who are deathly allergic to nuts have eaten nuts from here because the Lakeside staff didn't label items in the buffet correctly.
The food takes ridiculously long. I've waited 45 minutes for toast (literally plain bread) and then they refused to give me butter that I paid for that comes with the toast. What scammers.
It's also not uncommon for Lakeside to "misplace" your order. Several times, I've waited for a full hour after ordering and find out they forgot about my order. Even after checking up on it several times.
Additionally, they never serve you the correct food that they display on their menu. For example, the Eggs Benedict on the menu says it comes with 3 hash browns. I've only ever received one despite ordering it a dozen times.
