    Very nice indoo/outdoor food court and student area, including a book store. The outdoor portion is complete with a soothing waterfall and the indoor area has plenty of tables to eat at. It would be nice if they had better options as far as food, but at least you can enjoy the ambiance with your fast food court type food.

    I am a fan of this place, Price Center. It's a good place to walk through when it's cold outside. bc its warm. It's a good place to meet your friends and chill and hang out and be loud It's a so-so place to study because it gets real loud sometimes. the best places to eat: ~Bombay Coast ~Santorini ~Panda Express ~Sunshine Market has Trolli Eggs all the time o.O ~Tapioca Express; opens late the best places to use the restroom: ~third floor individual unisex bathrooms the best places to take a nap: ~third floor couches/chairs even though they're not super clean

    I came here for a lecture event with Author Time Wise. It was a great lecture and I learned so much! But I was definitely impressed with the center itself. The room where the lecture was held was in one of the ballrooms of the entire facility. The ballroom itself had a great set up. Upkeep is great, I think it's still new or newly renovated. The acoustics are great. You really don't need that much of a big time sound equipment to fill the room. HEY, maybe this would be a great place for a Yelp Event!?!? No?!?! Yes!??! YES!?!? I also noticed that next door to the ballroom and down the hall are rows of different eateries. I didn't get a chance to look at what they were, but I noticed a whole bunch of people in there chowin down, stuyding, or doing a combo. of both! SYU says "SDSU should have something like this, oh wait, they're supposed to, but the plans keep getting pushed back!" pom pom

    Here is the Food Court in UCSD !! Very Nice and clean it has Burger King Jamba Juice and Santorini Greek Grill also with a Sunshine Market inside Pretty cool !! Overall it looks better then the UTC Foodcourt I have to say !! Cool Lounge!!

    Don't claim you got my order right and then I find that it is completely wrong. I never asked for no mayo or lettuce on my chicken sandwich.

    Great selection with lots of variety. The workers at subway are low-key faster than blackjack dealers.

    4/11/13 Ok, maybe I was a little harsh on Sorrento, aka the Food Court. Since the review I have…read morebeen back and I realize this is a 4 star in terms of being a food court. It is really good. Pho Station has really nice Bo Luc Lac (Shaken Beef). Bulgogi House has tasty food. Sitar is nice especially if you have a restaurant.com coupon. 4 Stars instead of 3. 3/12/2013 The Second Choice. If you get tired of going to the Q...take a nice leisurely stroll down the hill to Sorrento Court. (or as the foodie aficionados like to call it, the Food Court) The great thing about this place is that there are so many choices! You have pho noodles, you can get Korean BBQ/bibimbap, delicious salad...you name it! They've got it! AND best of all, they have a wonderful amount of parking. Park in the structure in the summer. You can avoid the sun from scorching you as you enter your car after it has been baking all throughout lunch.

    Well finally got around to Reviewing this place !! First I have to say I come here mostly for the…read moreMcDonald's and the Jamba Juice !! Like other malls this one gets quite busy during lunch hours and it gets pretty crowded with all the business workers coming from all the buildings around !! Here is a Not to big shopping center and it has a Which Wich Sandwich Shop here now also . Now Sometimes there is a line of cars trying to get into this jam packed shopping center !! But parking can be a pain sometimes but anytime after 2:00pm you should be ok because that is mostly the time when it gets pretty darn busy !! As for this shopping center it has some good selection of food and if your looking for an ATM or an Bank then this Shopping Center does have a Bank of America also !! Now looking at this Center it does have areas for you to sit and enjoy your food also !! So if your looking for a Center to go look for eats then try Sorrento Court Out !! Overall Satisfaction: Selection 3 out of 5 Stars couple of good places to eat Cleanliness: 3 out of 5 Stars Kept up pretty good but could be better Parking: 3 out of 5 Stars Busy during 12-2 Lunch Hours Fun Factor: 3 out of 5 Stars it's your typical Center not much to do but food is good at this Center !! Overall Grade: 3 out of 5 Stars not much going on here except the McDonald's and Jamba Juice plus the Which Wich Sandwiches which is fairly new to this Center !! But I shall return and enjoy the eatery's here again !!

Tucked into the back corner of the food court, it's not the most noticeable of offerings, but I saw the sign and decided to give it a try. I ordered the OG 1/2 lb double smash burger. It looked delicious, and exactly what I'd expect... two smashed patties, some grilled onions and melted cheese between two buns. Done. Should have been a home run right there. I ordered at the kiosk; burger and fries. I saw the cook at the grill top make -- what turned out to be -- my burger instantly, and then place it into a bag. Then, I stood around for over 10 minutes before someone else came out, and put the fries in the bag too. Then, it was another few minutes before that guy decided to call out the order number. It's not like it was busy.. in the whole time I stood there, one other customer placed an order at the kiosk. So in the end, I enjoyed relatively fresh and hot fries (which were actually really good), but a lukewarm and somewhat dry burger. So it's hard to tell if the burger really lacked flavor, or if it had just dried out from sitting around for 15 minutes before being eaten. All-in-all, I think the potential was there for me to probably give it another try at some point. But, definitely not the experience I was hoping for.

    I first fell in love with Marugame back in 2004 in Waikiki. The long lines to get a piping hot…read morebowl of udon in the blistering sun had me hooked. Then came the DTLA location pre-covid and my excitement that I was only a few hours away from a bowl of goodness. I've been to the UTC location at least 20 times since it opened and am so glad it's in my backyard. I've never gotten anything other than the regular kake udon with scallions and tempura flakes and a piece of shrimp tempura and sweet potato on the side. My husband is also a creature of habit and has never gotten anything other than the curry with a seasoned egg, adding a big fried chicken cutlet, fried cheese, and sweet potato on the side. Their self service station to pour your own tempura dipping sauce and adding a touch of ginger is a hit along with their soup spoons, chopsticks, katsu packets, and water station. It's cafeteria style so grab your tray, noodles, pick out your fried tempura goodness, eat, and hand the tray to the employee at the drop off station when done. It's delicious, affordable, and moves quickly. My only request is to add spam musubi to the UTC location so I can pretend I'm in Waikiki.

Recommendations: * Nikutama udon: my favorite. It's more noodle-focused, with that concentrated savory-sweet sauce coating the chewy udons * Sweet beef udon: what I get when I'm in a more soup moody. The dashi broth with sweet, savory beef is simple but comforting. * Bolognese udon: I tried this recently and was pleasantly surprised! You still the meaty and rich flavors of a Bolognese, just wrapped around thick udon. Fun to try if you want a sauce-forward dish. And I almost always grab some tempura on the way down the line. The shrimp and dark meat chicken are my favorites. Overall, nothing fancy, just solid udon served fast and efficiently. There's a reason I keep coming back here when I'm shopping at UTC.
