Damn, you guys. It's a Subway, not a gourmet sandwich store. Sandwiches are made messy sometimes, but I wouldn't expect my super stuffed sandwiches to be perfect. Lines are long? Duh. C'mon UCSD, I thought you were supposed to be smart. If you're showing up during lunch, or during that 10 minute gap between classes and expect to have speedy service then you really don't deserve to eat at all. In the past four years, one of the main things I've learned about UCSD students is that they lack common sense. read more

Having come to this subway many times during my time at UC San Diego, I have to say there aren't really that many bad things I can find about it. Being a regular customer, it was great to come when they had $5 promotions for all the sandwiches. The workers were generally friendly to me and tried to serve me as quickly as possible. It's true that occasionally they can give you an attitude if you ask for more than you're generally supposed to get like maybe a cup of chipotle sauce etc. but who wouldn't be? Add on to the fact that you're working on a college campus where there's a lot of brats, you can't really expect them to be happy all the time. :-P I'm happy with their sandwiches and have never found any stray hairs in there like some other reviews have talked about. read more

Ugh here we go again...campus food review. Don't get me wrong I love their sandwiches on certain days but this last visit was a "Meh, really..?" rating. They have a new promotion for $5 you can get any 6 inch sub with a choice of soup. They offered chicken veg soup and broccoli w/ cheese, so I ordered the second one and it was a let down. That's not how you do broccoli w/ cheese! So watery and cheese-less, no fair. The two stars are mainly for the wack soup. Other than that, my BLT was aight. read more

I went to order a sandwich to take home for lunch. To my surprise, there was a bone in my oven roasted chicken breast sandwich. Their soda machine has been almost broken for a while now. The water is difficult to get if you're not aware of how to operate the machine. You have to pull to the side in order to get a good flow. read more

This is the Subway in UCSD's Price Center food court. Ok, so I might be a bit biased, because my friend and I have our very own "Subway boyfriend", as we like to call it. He is the manager, or owner, of this location and is super nice. Whenever we go we get free drinks and chips/ cookies. Props to the staff who really have the insanely-busy-noon rush hour-assembly line down pat. They can whip out a sandwich in 2 minutes flat, toasted even. This is hands down my preferred Subway location. read more

Subway is now my go-to choice of lunch on campus. The sandwiches are very consistent, so I know exactly what ill be getting (a couple of years ago this was not the case, I used to often get sandwiches that were basically ruined). Since then, the quality of sandwiches had greatly improved, they have excellent service, and subway is always the quickest place to get good during the lunch rush. I suppose my biggest gripe is that their water cups recently changed from small cup to the smallest cup I have ever seen a restaurant give out. It almost seems like a cruel joke to me. read more

I've never tried this Subway before until my junior at UCSD...and I probably wouldn't have if my friend hadn't made me choose this over Burger King and TapEx when everything else was closed after I finished a 10PM final one quarter. Well, there were so many choices that I was overwhelmed and did not know where to start (I didn't know whether to choose a pre-set flavor or build my own). It probably would have helped if the person taking my order had walked me through the process as I'd never built my own sandwich flavor at a Subway before, but I think she was waiting for my friend to do it. So finally, I just asked my friend to order his usual preferences to give me a start. Well, after "tweaking" his order, this has become my usual preference: $5 Footlong (which is NOT only $5, by the way) using 9-Grain Honey Oat bread with steak, swiss/pepper-jack cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, bell peppers, banana peppers/jalapenos, and Chipotle Southwest sauce to top it off. YUM! I've always been able to scarf this yummy sandwich with no problem! Even though I don't frequent this place very much, I always enjoy my sandwich from here whenever I find myself craving some Subway. read more

This place is pretty good, the service is not bad but one of the two complaints i have is that the ladies never listen to what you say, i swear they ask you what kind of bread and cheese? you say italian herbs and cheese and provolone? or in my case no cheese. and then they get the bread... and cut it and then, ask, what kind of cheese? um... well... i sort of told you already... but nobody really cares so everyone just repeats themselves again, then the same thing happens for the "toasted?" um. no thanks! ... few minutes later "toasted?" um.. no thanks..... this happens everytime i come here and i find it amusing because it happens the person in front of me and behind me as well. the other complaint is that for some (god knows why) reason they give you very little lettuce, and u have to ask... can i get some more lettuce? some people have learned already and just automatically say "extra lettuce please" but they still only give a little and they have to ask for more... what's up with that? besides from those two things this is a good subway, fast service like the ohters stated and everytihng else is good :) read more

The employees there are very unprofessional. I ordered a sandwich with extra protein, and it costed equivalent to two sandwiches on the receipt... I ask the employee to check if he mistakenly input two sandwiches, instead of one sandwich with extra meat. He said he is one hundred percent sure he did it correctly... After I get the receipt it has two footling sandwiches listed. This employee later apologized and reimbursed me, but such unprofessional service will inflict unnecessary damage. read more

4/5 for the great customer service, especially when it's rush hour and students need their sandwiches asap. I like getting sandwiches from here, not only because of its convenience, but also because of the great staff. I also gave only 4/5 because the sandwiches just taste like regular ones. Nothing fancy going on in them, but it's all up to YOU how to make it. read more

You can expect the lines to be long if you come at lunch on a weekday. This is a college campus and everyone eats lunch around the same time. Duh. Some people still haven't figured out that there are TWO lines, one on each side of the restaurant. Don't make that mistake and wait in the longer line just because you aren't sure if the other shorter line is the same. The line moves quickly and you get what you came here for: a subway sandwich. But save some money and don't pay extra for the combo (chips and a drink). You can walk a few steps away to the Sunshine Store and get a better drink and chip selection for a lower price. read more

Pretty much a Subway restaurant, in that: you'd go to Submarina first, DZ Aiken's if you had the money and your local deli if you were close to home. What makes this place different from other Subway's though is the fact that they open up at 8:00am. What absolutely MF sucks, there always seems to be a long line. Always. read more

PROS: $5 Deal, some of the workers there are nice, especilly the one Asian woman who always say "HELLOOOO" when it's you're up to order. CONS: Chicken is still cold if you get it in the morning/late night/non busy hours. I came here a lot before I graduated. Mostly because of the $5 Deals. You kind of get sick of it, but the other choices is wither more expensive or just suck. This is usually the longest line around the 11am-1pm. Lines moves decently but sometimes it can be frustration. At this time, the subway sandwiches are the best they can be. Non of them are cold even after putting it in the microwave oven, like you would get in the morning, or late night. If you want something cheap, filling this place is probably your best bet. This place only accepts Visa or MasterCard. No AMEX for sure. read more

Well one the one hand this is probably one of the healthiest options at UCSD's Price Center. On the other hand the people who work here are retarded. I like the Subway just down the street in the Costa Verde shopping center much better. The thing I hate most is that they slice only part-way into the side of your bread, then they twist your bread sideways and start adding the toppings in as if they were building a taco. This sucks once you are eating your sandwich because all of the meat is on the left half of the bread and all of the lettuce is on the right half so as you are eatting you have to choose if you want a mouthful of meat or a big old mouthful of lettuce. Also they are skimpy on the toppings, except the lettuce. If you love lettuce sandwiches, then this is the place to come. Also they seem to need to ask you things three times. Them: "Hi, welcome to Subway, can I take your order?" Me: "Yes, I'll have a turkey and cheddar on honey oat bread" Them: (slicing bread retarded) "Ok, and would you like cheese on that?" Me: "YES, cheddar" Them: (adding cheese, adding way too much freaking lettuce, and only like 1 slice of tomato) Them: "Ok, lets ring you up, lets see that was a turkey on honey oat, and did you have cheese on that?" Me: "YES, CHEDDAR" Me: ~sigh~ read more

I don't understand why every Subway and other Avocado offering places in San Diego must charge extra for avocadoes. for real, avocadoes are one of the cheapest fruits available in California. I just don't understand. Now specifically to this location: Cheapest lunch at UCSD and fairly healthy. Very "fast" service that will result in the sloppiest sandwich you will ever eat. When you ask for Spinach instead of lettuce, they put 3 leaves on the sandwich. And I still eat here a lot... read more

I'm a huge fan of this place. They are my go-to place for lunch or dinner at UCSD. Food is cheap and I am vegetarian so I don't have a huge palette anyway. All the staff there are fine. I've been there many many times, so I have met many of them. The cashier (at the time of writing) is particularly friendly and has some classy ways of saying "good day" to you (sorry, I don't remember the name). This Subway even has a discount if you get TWO of (almost) any footlong sub after 5pm on any day and all day on Sunday. You get the two for just $10. Even two of my favorite vegetarian subs cost ~$14 normally. Huge savings. If you go there as a vegetarian, you have to try out their veggie patty. read more

Quick and simple, just the way I like it. During lunch time at price center, every place is packed with lines. Subways lines are not nearly as long because of how quickly they provide the food. The sandwiches have been pretty consistent every time I've been here. I usually just get the same thing, oven roasted chicken breast on flat bread but recently I've been trying their other sandwiches since ALL their footlong sandwiches are $6 in the month of february. This is a great deal imo because I can finally try their expensive sandwiches without feeling the guilt of paying too much. Overall nothing really to complain about and just your average subway. read more

for many resons people dont like "fast food " but to say the truth its always good i love to go this place the have a great bread and a great customer service ! thanks ! read more

it's subway. it's a chain. there's not much to differ from other subways except maybe the service, which is just perfectly decent. but i like having this subway available in price center because i feel like it's one of the most veggie-heavy meals you can get, especially for the price. $5 foot longs can do no wrong. read more

I really like their new new Omega-3 bread! I have been addicted to their sandwiches lately, so makes suspicious. Maybe they add some sort of drugs in their bread? read more

i come here when im studying it up at geisel, when i dont feel too cheap for burger king, but not baller enough for the other stuff. $5 footlongs ftw ive had no problems at this location. food is pretty good, service is good, nothing fishy about it (speaking of which, tuna is no longer on the $5 footlongs list. i am sad) ive tried the chicken breast, turkey breast (i love breasts :D ), italian, subway melt, and one time i was feeling a little baller so i went for the feast, which imo isnt worth it. lines move at a decent speed when its crowding time, so overall a pretty good place. read more

My go-to place when I'm starving and I'm stuck in school. It's cheap, convenient, and it fills my growling stomach. I try to go in the middle of the hour of the day because that's when the lines are the shortest. Out of all the Subways that I've been to, I swear this location has the thinnest sliced cucumbers and tomatoes...it's amazing really. read more

It's a Subway - if you're ok with Subway, you'll be fairly ok with this place. I'd say it's a bit subpar to other Subway's though - ingredients don't always seem as fresh, one time they were out of bread (they offered me a wrap). Given that sandwich places seem to be a dime a dozen on campus, I wish they'd find something better to fill this space. read more

Like any usual subway. I have devoured enough footlongs here.

Yes the lines are long but what can you expect, it's on a college campus and one day when I went and it wasn't busy I was informed that this was the busiest Subway in San Diego and that's why they have two sandwich lines so that they can get more customers sandwiches faster. The sandwiches are made quickly and sometimes the workers are asking me what kind of bread and sandwich I want and I'm still in the second row of the line. Most of the wait is from the ovens because it does take 20-30 seconds for each sandwich to get toasted so it is understandable. The workers do there best to make the sandwiches fast. I've gone on weekends when it wasn't busy and the workers are extremely friendly and can have a conversation with. If you expect them to talk to you during the middle of a lunch rush on UCSD then you're probably really stupid. read more

it's not that i have anything against subway... it's just this particular subway that i really really despise. so much so that i have sworn it off completely. and in all honesty, it tarnishes the subway name for me. why, you might ask? several reasons. 1. the staff (morning staff) are NOT friendly at all. 2. they skimp on your food, you can really tell. if you're ordering a breakfast melt, they give you 3 leaves of spinach and maybe 2 tiny strands of onions. want to ask for more? don't even think about it, they will give you attitude and tell you no. sometimes i think.. hm.. is the branch manager thinking that he/she could get away with this because it's on a university campus so no matter how horrible they treat their customers or skimp on their food, these people will always flock back because of convenience? well, i can't speak for others, but this mentality does not work for me! maybe if you were a mcdonalds. but subway was never at the top of my list of favorites, and so its very easy for me to swear it off completely. goodbye on-campus subway! you have lost a customer... for good. read more

This is one of the better franchises. At least they welcome you. But like almost every subway I've ever been to, they literally just ask you "what kind of ____" without even trying to make your experience a pleasant one. I've worked in fast food for several years and I can tell you that other companies work really hard to give customers speedy AND dine-in quality service. Subway, you can do better. read more

it is subway, it is what you expect it to be. cheap, healthy, fast, everything i look for in a meal in the middle of the day.

Healthiest food option on campus! The line here during lunch is ridiculously long, but it's worth the wait.

I have been eating at UCSD's Subway since I transferred last year. I love subway. But this particular location has a problem with making the sandwiches in a way that they don't fall apart. This problem has occurred way too many times already (I am a regular customer), that I felt the need to tell someone about it. I threw away several of my sandwiches because they just throw everything on it (pickles, onions, tomatoes...etc) And the sandwich just falls apart. It becomes very frustrating to eat. I am not the only one who complained about this issue. I know my suite mates and friends have also experienced the same thing. I mean I can just stand there and throw stuff on the sandwich too. The sandwich definitely loses its value. And the workers definitely have a huge attitude towards their customers. I mean I tried asking them to make it correctly once...and the attitude I got! WoW. Whatever happened to the service industry? Whatever happened to all those interview questions they ask and demand people during the interview of helping the customer in any way that they could? Another point that I want to make is that getting a job on campus is very difficult. I know because I have tried a lot. When I see people like that serving me, it makes me even more agitated of how they got that job. This is not a one time experience. Again! read more

Let me start by saying that I have eaten here on multiple occasions despite the fact that people have told me about their unsanitary conditions. The last time I came here, which was about 2 or 3 weeks ago, I experienced one of those moments where I was like "WHY DID I NOT LISTEN!?!?!" I ordered a tuna sandwich, which was one of my favorites at Subway, and ended up throwing it away after ONE bite. The first bite I had into this sandwich tasted like vomit. Yes ladies and gentlemen....like VOMIT. I'm not joking. I seriously wanted to puke after taking that bite. I went to go complain obviously and the workers there found it a bit amusing and one of them even said "I've never tasted vomit so I wouldn't know what it taste like." First off, I had no idea that Subway workers were allowed to be rude to their customers. Secondly, you don't need to eat puke in order to know what it taste like. I know that they have either thrown up before or been around people who have puked. So you can all see why I was a bit disturbed by this statement that she made. She reluctantly asked me if I wanted a new sandwich. On one hand, I did not want anything from Subway ever again, but on the other hand, I was freakin hungry and so I stuck with the safest choice possible: roasted chicken breast. I am never eating here ever again. It may take me a few years and a new Subway before I can get my appetite back for this place. read more
