Isabella Dell’Api, junior legal studies major, believes the new Razor’s Bite experience brings more choices for students and could be expanded.
“I’m glad that there are more options, I think they should have more maybe in other buildings, but I’m pretty happy with the vending machines,” Dell’Api said.

Yo-Kai has been on campus since fall 2022, but went out of service shortly after it was open. This semester, Yo-Kai reopened and is now one of the vending machines in Razor’s Bite. Its menu includes ramen bowls, pho and soups.
Dell’Api said Yo-Kai’s ramen is surprisingly good.
“I thought it was actually pretty good quality, considering that it’s just less than five minutes. For to-go ramen, I was pleasantly surprised,” Dell’Api said.
Victoria Arutunian, junior legal studies major, hopes the Yo-Kai machine is restocked regularly because she often finds the food is sold out.
“The food is pretty good,” Arutunian said. “But half the stuff is sold out most of the time, so they would have to work on restocking things faster probably.”
New to the Reef is Just Baked Smart Bistro, which includes two vending machines. One offers burger sliders, pizza squares and burritos. The second one offers desserts, such as cinnamon rolls.
Students can use the kiosk to place an order and pay, or download the mobile app and scan the QR code at the kiosk to order.
Not only were vending machines added, but also three microwaves.
Vanessa Gonzalez, junior chemistry major, feels that microwaves are beneficial and more convenient to commuters.
“Before I would have to wait maybe 10 to 15 minutes just to heat my food and it was a little bit inconvenient, and now I don’t have to wait at all to use a microwave,” Gonzalez said.
According to Shark Dining, Chick-fil-A is also still being worked on and is expected to open either later in the semester or during the summer.
