Sushi Maki joins Razor’s Reef

By: Francesca Abarca

This semester, Shark Dining has introduced the restaurant chain Sushi Maki to Razor’s Reef, moving the student choice station to the other side of the dining hall and replacing the vegan/vegetarian station, Herbivore.

Freshman Emma de Lucia, who is an undecided major, said she is happy with Sushi Maki’s menu, particularly the dumplings and spring rolls.

“The new extension of Sushi Maki is new, refreshing and something a lot of people like,” said de Lucia.

But even with the addition of this seafood restaurant, students still feel NSU does not provide enough options for students with dietary restrictions.

Hailey Ribeiro, junior biology major, has been a pescetarian for the past five years and has struggled with finding food on campus.

“Last year there were very minimal options, and that made it very difficult for me,” said Ribeiro. “How am I, or other people with similar dietary restrictions, supposed to eat?”

The addition of Sushi Maki and the removal of Herbivore particularly affects the vegan population, as Herbivore was the only fully vegan option in Razor’s Reef.

Verena Mikhail, freshman biology major, frequently goes on a vegan diet as part of her church’s fasting schedule.

“I am saddened that there aren’t filling vegan meals available,” Mikhail said. “When I’m fasting for religious purposes, it’s hard to find fulfilling vegan options other than an açaí bowl or vegetables with no vegan protein included.”
