How could this random little chow hall stack up against the rest? Two words: cucumber water.
EDIT: As of 2022 there is no longer cucumber water. The rating still stands though as the chicken breast is usually tasty and not cooked to death.
Re-EDIT: 2023 Cucumber water is back baby!
Simply put, everyone who works here deserves to be fired IMMEDIATELY. Only one of the doors work for some reason. Fire hazard? Every single time I’ve ever gotten chicken, it’s been beyond dry or severely undercooked. Rice is regularly raw. I can’t even comprehend how someone can serve the food to people and maintain a clear conscience. Everything is styrofoam, plastic or paper. So wasteful. I’ve been to a handful of chow halls and I’ve NEVER been to a chow hall that has worse food or service. I don’t write reviews often but this place is just wildly terrible.
I have never been a huge fan of 43 area chow hall having been stationed here since 2020 ( I still freshly remember them having once regularly served raw fish or overcooked chicken). But this lady behind the counter today Ms. Christina ignored me asking politely 3 times for no rice and still gave me some and looked me dead in the eyes afterwards daring me to do something. I don't know why I'm paying hundreds of dollars per month for these disrespectful clowns.

You have never met a dumber group of people than the 43 area Sodexo workers. They have the combined IQ of a half baked potato chip. Not to mention they are a disgustingly disrespectful group of people.
The audacity required to give someone attitude over literally being asked to do your job. I witness the absolute disrespect of Marines by these Sodexo workers at least once a week. Why the USMC continues to give these people money out of our paychecks is absurd and absolutely beyond me.
And finally, please someone tell me why the hell we gave our parking lot to the Sodexo workers. SMH.

worst chow hall. chewy chicken (lets not get started on the raw potatoes, and frozen french toast, or the hair you might find in your food on a consistent basis), they have the worst sodexo staff compared to many, and cant make up their minds on how they operate. they have it set up one way, and then the next second they have it another way. DONT expect to be given a reasonable portion of food, theyre really stingy, and roll your eyes at you when they have to do their job, especially the old dude there.
tl;dr dont expect to be treated like youre not a burden. incredibly unprofessional.
