Very good food for a museum; a bit expensive for a family on a budget

The Vietnamese food is delectable, though priced high and not exactly authentic in flavor. I favor the pastries and gourmet po' boys. Price is high but you're paying to help the environment, and of course, the convenience and location.

Charles Phan does a nice enough job with the food. A little to pricey for cafeteria style. The only atmosphere is being able to eat outside.

Impressive! For quick, mostly pre-prepared food in this type of setting, everything we tried was fresh, healthy and flavorful. We'll definitely eat there on our next visit to the Academy.

At least the Academy's food is better than the DeYoung's food. The sandwiches are interesting. They have pho! However, the organization of the cafeteria lines is impossible, and the iced tea is completely bizarre (read...disgusting)
