| - "Yay! I'm a fan."
In the interest of a sincere and reliable review, let me preface this by saying that this is NOT phenomenal Thai food. You'll have to get off campus (and out of this town, probably) for that. It is cafeteria-style with basic dishes like pad thai, curry, and basil chicken. I think it's good for what the style and resources of this place imply. The food itself is not a compelling reason to come here.
What is a compelling reason is how close it is to the quad. I have a schedule that can keep me near Armory and Wright until 8 or 9pm, so it's difficult to find a place I can dash in and out of and that serves decent food. Many lunches have been spent inhaling my sad, but delicious, meal bars.
Queue Y Eatery. Y Eatery is a godsend (heh...). It's right next to my classes, it's fast, the portions are enough to keep you eating for lunch AND dinner, and the owners are just clearly top-notch people.
So many times I have never noticed this place because it's inside the YMCA. It's kind of a weird place to be located, but oh-so-convenient. The owners said that they had a large sign once but it was stolen soon after it was put up. They wanted to know how I had found them since they're so hidden, and they were really glad to see that word had gotten out.
Something that really affected my experience here, and I want to be clear about this being a factor in my review, was how wonderful the owners are. They are welcoming, funny, and they take care of you. I have never had a dining experience like this. Ever.
A point of clarification: One of the old reviews said that it's cash only, but it's currently not.
