With the scorching heat upon us and our cravings for refreshing, iced beverages reaching an all-time high this summer, the Highlander features team thought, “Why not have our next taste test be a sampler of the best boba stations around UCR?” Overlooking the more popular tea shops linked to larger businesses such as TenRen’s and Lollicup, we decided to...

“Kimbap and bulgogi at the UV?” mused my housemates as I told them of my experience at Manna Grill, the newest addition to our University Village. Taking over the location that was once Ranch One, Manna Grill boasts a variety of Korean...

After four months of anticipation during construction, Sweet Daily has finally opened its gateway to a dessert-lover’s paradise. Located in the University Village by Oven 450, Sweet Daily is truly a convenient stop for Highlanders to refuel (and completely binge) on their daily intake of sugary goodness.
As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the welcoming...

The city of Riverside seemingly has two temperatures: tundra and Hades. The simmering spring days of May urge students to flee from the heat and find refuge anywhere with an ounce of shade, cool air and refreshing food. Luckily for me, I found the place to get away from the sun rays in Asahi...
After seeing multiple Snapchats of my housemates getting Juju Bar bowls and raving about how good it was, I decided to cave in to my love for acai bowls and give it a shot. A sizable crowd was gathered near the bar area waiting for their bowls and I eagerly made my way through to examine the menu that...

As UCR welcomed back the veterans and introduced itself to the rookies, all students were greeted with a slight change in HUB dining. Replacing Honor Roll Sushi Cafe, Sushi by Panda (no, really, that's the name) made its appearance on the opening day of fall quarter 2013. Not only is the new eatery located by...
Gastronomy, the art of good eating, constitutes the very core of the dining experience, giving relevance to restaurant reviews and online websites such as Yelp. It is comprised of several elements, from the level of expertise in cuisine, to the service, to the surrounding ambiance. I’d like to think of gastronomy as a grading system much like a report...

Right next to Lollicup, Submarine Crab is the newest addition to the busy student-filled area of University Village. Submarine Crab sounds an awful lot like Boiling Crab, and looking at the menu, the similarities were uncanny. However, it’s not a bad thing — who doesn’t want good seafood closer to home?
Walking through the door with my friend Audrey,...

While there is an array of restaurants to choose from in Riverside, Mexican food is always a delicious choice. But, if you want the real deal, I’m talking mouth-watering and you-can’t-stop-staring at the other table’s food, then you need to walk away from Chipotle, Taco Bell and Del Taco.
El Patron is what I would call a hidden gem...

For what seemed like a quarter or two, the location of Fatburger in the University Village was replaced with dark emptiness and a single giant poster of a cartoon chicken boasting the words “Popcorn Chicken.” Every time I passed by the location, this mysterious chicken logo made me more and more curious about what would replace the burger...
