KU Dorms Canteen: AVOID the Western meals!

At the Korea University dorms there lies a student cafeteria/canteen on the basement of one of the male dorms ( the one in front of Anam Global House). You can also see it as you're walking up the hill towards CJ International, it's the building above GS25.
It's a good place for those who want a cheap and convenient meal without having to cook for themselves. But it does carry the risk of the food tasting terribad.

In order to use the cafeteria, you need a meal card to access it through the barriers. You can get a meal card set up at the office that's just up the stairs as you exit the annex from AGH to the male dorms. The lady knows a decent amount of English.
Bring cash with you, they don't accept card for the deposit (I think).
You can either choose to have a set number of meals for a month, or go freestyle and just top up your card whenever needed. Freestyle means to paying for invidual meals at 4,000₩ per meal. So it's pretty much like 'pay as you go'. Set number of meals mean you buy the meals in bulk in one go (say 30 meals) for a cheaper price compared to paying 4,000₩ for every individual meal.
A deposit of 10,000₩ for the meal card is also required.
Take note that the card deletes all credit at the end of the month, meaning if you don't want to waste your money use up all of your remaining meals before the end of the month. This applies to both set and freestyle. I opted for freestyle all the time since I usually ate at the canteen perhaps around 5-10 times a month - I topped up the card 20,000₩ every time.

The food isn't as terrible as the one on campus at the basement of the student union building. It's decent for 4,000₩ - you can't really expect much. So no, it's not amazingly delicious.
From personal experiences I would say the Korean food tastes the best in the canteen. You can't go wrong when they're serving Korean food. Japanese and Chinese, perhaps 50% chance of it being decent, depends on personal tastes. Western food almost all the time can taste very bizarre, unappetizing, and sloppy. So I would advise you to avoid the canteen when they serve Western food. Last time when I had the spaghetti meal (the one pictured in this post) there it made me feel kind of queasy.

You can check out the menu on this website. It updates every Sunday. 
Unfortunately it's all in Korean, so the best thing you could do is attempt to Google image the food served (that's what I do most of the time). Having a Korean keyboard on your phone will come in handy. 
The days go by columns (Mon-Sun), and meals go by rows (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).

The site also includes the timetable on when the canteen opens and closes.
During the semester it opens from 7.30-9am for breakfast, 12-2pm for lunch (12-1.30pm on weekends), and 5.30-7.30pm for dinner (5.30-7.00pm on weekends).
Meanwhile during the holidays the breakfast time is the same, but lunch is 12-1pm, and dinner is 5.30-7pm.
