  So I've been hitting up the Xue Yi canteen pretty regularly and honestly, even though the menu never really changes and everything's got that kinda thick starchy sauce going on, it's still a solid spot. The fried chicken leg, the wood ear chicken, and the black bean ribs are all really tasty — those dishes hit the spot every time. The deli counter does a pretty great job with the sweet and sour ribs and the mouth-watering chicken too. I'll say the half-price meal deal is kinda whatever, like they don't put much effort into it, but Xue Yi's been around forever and it still pulls a crowd for a reason. It's one of those old reliable spots on campus that just works. Would def recommend giving it a try if you're around.
