"Dos bandecos que fui, o da Física é o melhor! Super organizado, tudo limpinho, tem muitos lugares para sentar, a fila nunca é grande. Dá pra comer tranquilo e acho a comida de lá sempre gostosa!"

"Ultimamente, esse restaurante vem se reestruturando e se reinventando posicionando-se fortemente como o segundo melhor bandeijao da usp Butanta. A fila, apesar de comumente longa, apresenta “gaps” temporais, pequenas lapsos cronológicos em que a fila é nula, a sensação de se encontrar em um lapso temporal é semelhante à entrada em Valhalla, segundo as escrituras. Todavia, considerando a existência do bandejão central, é completamente injusta a avaliação com 5 estrelas. Parabéns bandejão da física por ser o mais consistente do bandejões !!"

"My preferred universitary restaurant (UR) of the University City, a campus of the University of São Paulo in the city of São Paulo. The bigger advantage of eating here is the cheap food for students (only R$ 2,00). For this same price you can lunch and dinner. About the food, it is really good for the price and the quantity served is enough to be satisfied. An important observation is: be nice with the servants!"

"O feijão e a falta de filas são os pontos fortes do bandejão da física. Mas o cominho no frango é o principal ponto negativo, na minha opinião hehe"
