About
A Hub for Hilo Academic Life
Situated right in the heart of the University of Hawaii at Hilo campus, the Campus Center Dining Room serves as the primary gathering spot for students, faculty, and local visitors navigating the lush landscape of the Big Island. The space functions as an airy, functional cafeteria that captures the pulse of university life, characterized by the hum of academic chatter and the occasional clatter of trays.
What to Expect
The menu focuses on straightforward, high-volume comfort food, often featuring local favorites like shoyu chicken, kalua pork, and fresh produce sourced from Hawaii-grown suppliers whenever possible. You will notice the layout is designed for efficiency; it is an ideal spot for those needing a quick, hearty meal between lectures or a casual place to connect with the Hilo collegiate community.
Dining Nuances
While the atmosphere is primarily utilitarian and upbeat, be prepared for peak lunch hours when the space hits maximum capacity—finding a table requires a sharp eye and a bit of patience. The open-plan design allows for plenty of natural light, offering views of the surrounding greenery that makes the Hilo campus unique. Whether you are grabbing a grab-and-go snack or sitting down for a rotating daily special, this dining room provides a reliable, grounded experience that reflects the spirit of the local university environment.

For cafeteria food, I was impressed. It wasn't great, but worth the money. The staff there is what made me give them 5 stars. Without the staff, it would've only been 4. We went back today and I tried the burger special, which was a Bi Bim Bap burger. It was so incredibly delicious! The only thing I would want changed would be a over hard egg.

Everything is excellent,but sometimes it’s better speak well to the students as they don’t know what other people had been through.

Food was good, and cashier was friendly & helpful, but I got the wrong order which ib did not discovery until after class. I wanted vegetarian quiche with salad and ended up having fish with noodles, rice and mac salad! 😂 …

The staff especially the aunties are great people, always make you feel like part of the ohana. Food is ono and at a good price which is helps this student on a tight budget. It's also a great place to meet up with classmates or just to grab a bite to eat while doing some homework. Mahalo 🤙😎🤙 …

For school food, it's good. It's the best you can get on campus with dining points. If you're not restricted by dining points, you'd be better off at one of the food trucks. The campus center cafeteria's hours are very short, but it's much better than Kehau dining hall.

STUDENTS need not go anywhere else unless you need to avoid a rush during normal meal hours... the foods spot on, the staff is ultra kind. AND the prices: easy on the budget
