Enjoy at Yinquan Cafeteria

2023-04-04

Monday is my favorite day of the week this semester, because after class at 11:35 in the North Teaching Building, I can go straightforward to Yinquan Cafeteria for lunch. Even after half a semester, I haven’t tasted all the dishes there and I have never been disappointed by any new cuisine. My friends and teachers all feel the same, as I can often see their recommendations in Moments. I am confident to say that Yinquan has lifted the happiness level of ZJUer to a large extent. For those who haven’t been to Yinquan, here are some tips for you to enjoy this feast of delicacy.

How to give suggestions?

If you feel unsatisfied with the dishes, you can scan the QR code on the table to give your suggestions to the canteen. The manager will come to the seat to settle the problem in five minutes.
