This is one of the most popular eateries on the Stanford campus, located near the Stanford Union Bookstore. Most of the time, I’ve seen this place completely packed, and it offers both indoor and outdoor seating.
I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon after a project meeting to grab lunch, and even then, it was quite busy. The menu has a wide range of options—pizzas, sandwiches, rice bowls, and even some Indian and Chinese dishes. I was very hungry, so I went for an Indian-style bowl with basmati rice and spicy chicken tikka masala.
The portion size was good and definitely sufficient for one person. As an Indian, I can’t say this is the best Indian food I’ve ever had, but for a campus eatery, it was satisfying and comforting. I do wish the bowl came with a small salad on the side, which would have made it more balanced.
That said, the place has a lively atmosphere, reasonable prices, and seems to offer special deals like Taco Tuesdays and margarita specials. Overall, it’s a solid, pocket-friendly option on campus, and I’d definitely come back again.

Came here to try the vegan options. So far only had the tofu teriyaki bowl and it was very underwhelming. Veggies had no flavor, like they were just frozen and steamed. Otherwise the sauce tasted pretty good and the rice was cooked well.

Tacos were good. Typical college campus quality of food. I like the aesthetic of The Treehouse.

The burrito was okay. The good is the size — it’s pretty big. The bad part is the taste for me. The chicken had too much BBQ sauce and wasn’t fresh I think. I didn’t finish it because it was very mid. Nachos were good. I think if you are in between choices at that place, get something but burrito because my colleagues got other food and liked it more.

Went for the vegan burrito but everything especially the pizzas looked so good.

I ordered the Cardinal burger and there was no bacon and pickles added. Fries were delicious and the patty and bun were nice. Not cool that I paid more for bacon and got a normal buyer with bbq sauce though. I also asked for my order to go and they plated it. Disappointed.

Ordered a philly cheese steak with fries as well as a special kale salad/bowl. The philly cheese steak is not like anything you would get from Philadelphia but it’s a valiant attempt with similar ingredients. Portion size was nice and large with creamy cheese covering veggies and steak. The fries were also well seasoned and delicious. The kale bowl was uneventful but with good portions and high quality ingredients.

This is a very nice student place located centrally on campus. Tables are inside and outside, take away is possible. A long menu is on the wall with rather moderate prices. The guys serve pizza and a variety of Mexican dishes, like burritos and quesadillas, also salads, sandwiches, burgers. The portions are large: I used to buy quesadillas and it was enough for 2-3 times for me. The food is tasty, but quite oily though, a lot of calories! This time we ordered a club sandwich, paid around 14 usd, we shared for 2 and it was more than enough food for both of us. I lacked a salad on the side because, as said, the food is quite oily and heavy. Otherwise the service is fast and polite, no problems with the order. Overall, a great place to visit!
