Bruin Plate Residential

We were recommended to eat at Bruin Plate if we wanted a healthy lunch while we were visiting the UCLA campus. It's definitely different than Griffin/Sunset/Covel Commons. It's hard to tell from the outside but it's quite large after we entered. Lots of places to sit and natural lighting everywhere. There are at least 5 different stations available for lunch. Some of the stations open and close based on when you get out of your seat to look for more to eat.It is true, the food is quite healthy. Even the chocolate has zucchini on the inside. It's not the typical pizza, spaghetti, pasta, burger, or generic lunch. It's also not a Vegas buffet. It's quite unique. My favorite was the beef and barley soup. That was outstanding.Would I come back? Yes, but I would go for a dinner experience when all the stations are open. That would definitely be a fun experience.

It’s great. Yum. The food is pretty good for school dorm food, wings are amazing and also the bread loafs are super good. Lots of options and healthy proteins/carbs.

I used to go to bplate everyday for breakfast and dinner. Came back for lunch to reminisce one more time. They had tofu with quinoa, flatbread, roasted potatoes, grilled chicken, vegan chocolate milk (with lots of grams of protein), fresh strawberries, vegan chocolate brownies, and tart fro-yo to name a few of the offerings. Bplate is always consistent with their food. The bonus is that it's healthy and tasty. Must try if you come to UCLA. One of my favorite dining halls.

Just keep in mind I am totally biased on this one. I love this place with everything I have I 'm not even joking. I come here almost every single day for lunch and I stay from open until closing. A lot of my friends make fun of me for how much I am there. I even earned the name the bplate goblin . Anyway. This place is a 100000000000000000 10. They have so many great tasting healthy options. I especially love their flat bread selections. For dessert, they have dessert breads. I highly recommend the Coconut Pineapple Bread or the Olive Oil Mocha breadThey also occasionally have food themed days that are really amazing but it gets super busy on those days. I went to a strawberry themed dinner there last year and it was delicious everything had at least a hint of strawberry flavor even the chicken tacos! . And apparently there was an avocado themed day but somehow I missed that so sad I love avocado .I also just love the coffee here. I know it 's mass produced machine coffee but I just love it. There 's a great ambiance here which is why I stay for so ling everyday. They have a lot of comfortable seating.The people who work here are also really kind! Shout out to the man at the flat bread station and the sweet lady who checks everyone in. I 'm so sad I 'm moving out of the dorms and won 't be able to come here : Future UCLA students take advantage of Bplate. It 's amazing

Another good buffet style dinning hall at UCLA. All you can eat. Food is fresh and delicious. Admission must be accompanied by a student with a meal plan.
