Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If you’re ever hungry for some off-campus food, you’re in luck. With great prices and great variety, students’ only problem is deciding which restaurant to eat at. Choosing between Thai, Indian, rotisserie chicken, Japanese, sub sandwiches, Mediterranean, Mexican, Argentinean, and burgers can be difficult. Many of the restaurants are on Reseda Boulevard, which is within walking distance of CSUN, so many students decide to eat off campus if they have a break between classes. Restaurants close to CSUN usually offer a 10 percent discount, so don’t forget to flash your student ID card before you pay, because chances are, they won’t remind you. Many of these restaurants are locally owned, and the average price for a meal is about $6, which makes eating out on a student budget quite doable. The majority of restaurants also have lunch specials.

Restaurants run the gamut from fast food to healthy, and there’s always something for whatever mood you’re in. For late-night dining check out Denny’s, and for late-night studying head over to Starbucks, which closes at 11:30 p.m. When parents come into town, check out the California Chicken, or when you want to watch the game head over to Chili’s, but when you want to be out late drinking saki bombs the only place is Shogun Sushi. Unfortunately, there aren’t many romantic sit-down places to take someone. The majority of the restaurants are seat-yourself dining.

Reseda Restaurants

Amazing restaurants with a wide variety of traditional foods. Prizes are not the lowest but are not the highest either. Wonderful places to dine in and relax watching everyone have a great time.

There are several places near campus that give students ten to sometimes twenty percent discount on purchases. There are retaurants from MacDonald's to Chinese buffets to ice cream shops- everything is close by.

What to Eat?

There are several restaurants just less than 5 miles radius of the campus. My favorite is this small sushi restaurant that is neatly tucked behind a pizza place. It has delicious and fresh sushi and the chefs are very nice. For more quicker grabs, there is Wrappidup, which has variety of burritos that you can either grilled or deep-fried! It gives CSUN students discount and already had everyone's attentions because it just started this year. It's perfect walking distance from the campus (and from my apartment)
