Worcester Commons

It may be the #1 dining hall food in the whole country, but the food is no better than any average restaurant. The Chinese food is similar to Panda Express in terms of quality; the broth for the pho is too salty, though the green curry broth is decent; the sushi is very underwhelming, I would say even sushi from Wegmans is better. The staffs are very nice though. But it's way too crowded.

Worcester Dining Commons is a recently renovated space that replaced the old Worcester DC. The new Worcester is highly modernized, with a first floor cafe filled with seating areas and a Grab & Go system. The 3rd floor hosts a restaurant for more formal settings, while the 2nd floor contains the main student dining common. The dining common is modern looking, with most of the food centralized around a food hall design. The food has a lot of variety, with a focus on diverse cuisines ranging from Asian to Latin to Mediterranean.

This is something a culinarian needs put on their bucket list, visit this campus and eat. Yes this is institutional food, but it is high level. One doesn't see 3,000 pieces of sushi rolled perfectly, a pasta bar with several sauces, Mediterranean varieties and burger bar, dessert for sure. What, Pecan pie! And, teach their staff the different cuisines. Food is served on campus until

Umass has the best dining in the country, and this dining common is a perfect example that shows the diversity of food they prepare for the students.

Worcester dining commons is awesome! The food is great, there's a great variety, and for me the pizza is the best on campus, always crispy, cooked to perfection, and tasty. The only thing I don't love is the coffee because it's too strong.
