As a community I have eaten at Sugundo (mostly dinners) many times over the last seven years. As the prices have increased (which I understand) the selections and quality has decreased substantialy. Often there is no salt/pepper avaliable, the soda or ice tea machines are not working. It appears that UCD has changed the catering company. Why is it that there is no ice tea at Tercero? Plese bring back the cloth napkins.

If you don’t have meal passes cause you aren’t a freshman living in the dorms, make sure you buy them instead of paying at the front. It’ll save you a couple bucks.
The beef stew was great. Was very tender and the sauce paired well.

I’ve never eaten here even though this is my alma mater. Segundo DC is the only one open on the weekend. We came for an event and decided to have a late lunch here. For $13 a person (adults and any kid over 3), it’s not bad. There are quite a few choices. We went to the Mongolian BBQ first and it was very tasty although I think they use vegetable or canola oil. You add your own sauces at the end which is a good idea vs they add it for you. There’s only chicken as the meat option, but plenty of veggies to choose from.
The salad bar is quite good with a good variety of veggies plus we enjoyed the apple walnut salad and the curry tortellini salad, both very tasty. I was impressed that there were good quality deli meats too (pastrami and thin sliced as well as cubed pork loin roast). There’s also a few kinds of cheeses to make sandwiches with and egg salad and tuna salad too. The soup bar wasn’t impressive, only had a mustard green and pork soup and Thai curry soup.
Hot food wise there’s also roasted bbq chicken and rice. Overall, good value and delicious for a dorm dining hall. The environment is good also and doesn’t feel too canteen or “mess hall” even though it is obviously not a restaurant.

Segundo Dining Commons loves to pretend they “switch it up” every day, but it’s all surface-level effort with zero real improvement. The food might look slightly different day to day, but it’s the same bland, low-effort meals repackaged with a new label.
They rotate dishes just enough to claim variety, but you can taste the laziness. Quality stays low, flavor is forgettable, and after a week you realize it’s just the same cycle of mediocrity. For the amount students pay, the dining experience is honestly disappointing and repetitive.
If you’re expecting decent meals or actual variety, prepare for a daily routine of disappointment.

Segundo Dining Commons is easily one of the best places to eat at UC Davis. The food is consistently fresh, and there’s a great variety—from classic comfort food to healthy, vegetarian, and international options. You’ll always find something you enjoy, no matter your dietary preferences.
The space is clean, spacious, and well-maintained, and even during busy hours, the staff keeps things running smoothly and with a smile. It’s a great place to take a break, eat with friends, or even get a little studying done between classes.
For a campus dining hall, Segundo really stands out. The quality, variety, and atmosphere make it a favorite for many students—including me!

It always lack meats and proteins. Meats only come up for the dinner, but it’s always a chicken or fake beef’s that run out in soon.

Segundo Dining Commons is another example of UC Davis prioritizing surface-level presentation over actual student experience. It looks modern and expansive, but the reality is inefficiency, inconsistency, and a complete mismatch between cost and value.
The food quality is unpredictable at best—often bland, repetitive, and poorly executed. Meals feel mass-produced with minimal attention to nutrition, taste, or basic freshness. Long lines, overcrowding, and rushed service are routine, turning what should be a basic daily necessity into a time-consuming chore.
What makes this worse is the price. Students are locked into expensive meal plans that promise convenience and quality, yet deliver neither reliably. For what students pay, the experience should be functional and dependable. Instead, it reinforces the feeling that students are treated as a captive market rather than as people whose time, health, and money matter.
As with other campus facilities, the problem goes beyond food. Segundo reflects a broader institutional issue: impressive branding, new buildings, and buzzwords masking low operational standards. When something as fundamental as daily meals feels like a compromise, it raises serious concerns about how seriously the university takes student well-being.
For prospective students, this should factor into the ROI calculation. High tuition, mandatory housing, and meal plans add up quickly—and places like Segundo Dining Commons make it clear that the value returned does not match the cost. UC Davis may look polished from the outside, but experiences like this reveal how shallow that polish really is.
