As a note, I eat here when I have a 40 minute lunch break, otherwise its always out because the cafeteria is good, but not goooood.
There are two floors, each with about 10 main offerings and 5 side dishes. Food is Japanese, or japanese take on American stuff. There are various udon bowls, chazuke (rice with green tea and some other stuff), a certain type of fish, sanma, is seasonal right now and you can get your chazuke with sanma meatballs or even a whole broiled sanma for yourself. There is terryaki chicken with mayo (the japanese thing to do). Fried pork cutlet curry (very japanese). Hamburgers are popular but don't come with buns. Hamburgers in Japan come with spaghetti and a soft-boiled egg and soy sauce. I gotta try the egg on an american style burger. Eggs are so awesome here. Side dishes range from western salad, to a half-boiled egg, roasted squash or sweet potato, various tofu preparations, etc. You can feed yourself pretty well for around five dollars. Tea is self serve in the dining area. This tea out of a vending machine is better than any green tea I've had in America outsie of a Japanese restuarant. Quite amazing. I've said it before, but want to reinforce that GREEN tea here is GREEN. It's not supposed to be oxidized like English teas. It should taste green and vegatative. Everything I've had blew Lafayette's cafeteria away. So long as you stay away from the curry rice and fried pork cutlet, it doesn't leave you feeling gross when you walk away. Here are some picks of sweet potato, chilled half-boiled egg, and the soup with sanma meatballs.
