The new Crave burger is edible. Of course it’s going to cost you $12 but the fries are crispy and tasty and the burger is made with real meat. Brioche bun that has a crispy and butter to it and good warm sauce.

Prices are a little too expensive. There are several food stations: sandwich, Japanese, stir fry, Hindi, breakfasts and subway. I've only tried the stir fries and Hindi, they were very good and the staff was really friendly. The staff at the checkouts use to be not very friendly. The place is usually crowded, but it is a nice place.

Best food and staff! The lines move really quick. My whole time at SFU, they made me all day breakfast. They even have waffles and a large omelette selection. Pizza and pasta nights were the best! Big servings and great price. They'll always remember you, I love that. I prefer eating here than at even nicer restaurants.
