Genentech Building 35 Cafeteria

I come here every day even though there’s a cafeteria in my building. I think this is as good as it gets when it comes to affordable healthy food. Even though it is catered by Café Bön Appetit, the food seems to be of higher quality than the other cafeterias. There is more Asian influence in the food choices here, which explains why the food is better. Asian food is good for the soul and body. Not bias at all… :P
My favorites are Indian food, desserts on Fridays at Savor kiosk, steak skewers (sometimes), kombocha on tap, some of the noodle soups and acai bowl. :D

Another adventure of food inside Genentech and this cafeteria is beautiful! The furniture and décor of the place is all modern… even the ordering process is done all by screens. You just place the order yourself, pay and pick it up from the counter.
They only use to-​go containers there but they’re all compostable and pretty much everything they use is recyclable too. When you sit there to enjoy lunch, there’s a nice conversational buzz going on there and the place is very well lit, gives a very nice and enjoyable ambiance there.
As for the food, it’s decent but could be better. I just had a Veggie/​Wonton/​Tofu Udon soup, noodles were ok but the soup was a bit bland and some of the veggies could’ve been cleaned better or not been in the soup at all. Good thing there’s hoisin and sriracha to add more flavor to the soup. Their chicken marsala was pretty good too but the sauce didn’t match the chicken, there could’ve been more flavor soaked in to the chicken. Service is quick and not much interaction with the staff so I won’t know much about that.
The coffee there is pretty good but the caramel macchiato was super sweet. I’ll definitely ask for less caramel next time. Barista there were very friendly and quick with service, A+ for them on that.
Final Thoughts: Will definitely be back here to try other things but not when it’s a lunch rush since it’ll be harder to find a seat.
