  • Second floor: Student counters (using trays), vendor counters

  • Third floor: Faculty dining area (students can also eat here), Northwest China cuisine restaurant

  • First floor:

    • I personally think the fried noodles are pretty good. A lot of times when I study late and other counters are closed, I go get some [from nanako]
  • Second floor:

    • The student counters on the second floor use trays that let the oil drain off, which I personally find better than the first floor [from nanako]
  • Third floor:

    • The faculty dining area is a bit pricier but tastes slightly better than the student cafeteria [from nanako]

  • Second floor: Vendor counters

  • Third floor: Chunhuiyuan (outsourced restaurant)

  • First floor:

    • Canteen 2's first floor has healthy meals with less oil, definitely recommend [from nanako]
    • The "egg over rice" on the first floor is also pretty good, but I wouldn't recommend the tomato sauce [from nanako]
  • Second floor:

    • The grilled rice on the second floor is decent in my opinion [from nanako]
  • Third floor:

    • The set meals on the third floor are the most affordable on that level, but the dishes are pretty much the same every day [from nanako]
    • The stone pot rice is tasty but can easily give you heatiness [from nanako]
