Student housing set to receive new dining experience with Bamboo Terrace restaurant

CSUN housings new Bamboo Terrace restaurant, an expansion of Geronimos, begins construction next week and will open in August 2015 as discussed by the executive committee on Thursday.

It will be like Bamboo on steroids, said Betsy Corrigan, the associate director of campus dining, referring to the Bamboo located in The Marketplace on campus.

While CSUN housing will be accommodating 400 more students this fall with the completion of the Phase II housing structures, Corrigan hopes to receive more walk-ins from students and faculty who dont normally eat at the establishment, which is located at the corner of Zelzah and Lassen.

Rick Evans, executive director of the University Corporation, said the addition will be first class dining.

The restaurant, which broke ground in January, will feature pan-Asian food (both authentic and Americanized).

CSUN has already recruited Benjawan Kumnudsri, a chef from Pepperdine University, and has a menu complete with 10 weeks worth of food.

Each week, the restaurant will feature food from a different region of China, of which there are five.

People will walk in, slide their meal plan card, and have this bank of food to choose from, Corrigan said.

The restaurant will feature five different types of salad, as well as rice, soup, sushi, dessert, tea and more.

You will be able to get a hamburger at Geronimos and then head on over to Bamboo and get some sushi, Corrigan said.
