The Treehouse

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 wo

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.

The food quite frankly was an afterthought, no more. We had two vegan dishes and drinks: 1 Shitake Mushroom & Tofu Bowl $12.25 1 vegan el jallapeno- NO CHEESE! $12.25 Cut In Half (which they didn't cut in half as requested) 2 agua fresca 16oz $9.00 Both dishes took their precious time, but also failed to evoke any pleasure or satisfaction. Seriously an afterthought. It's as if they settle for their very nice location and that's it. Parking was super expensive as well on top of that.

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.
