A smaller and lesser known spot in UCSD's Price Center, or the student union. It has a wide variety of build-your-own bowl options, pre-set bowls, and a breakfast menu available all-day. The great thing is that there's usually no line during the peak lunch hours, meaning that you can get your food pretty quickly. Service is friendly, fast, and efficient! I got the Loco Moco with double egg, which was actually pretty reasonably priced compared to a lot of spots on campus. There were two patties, a good layer of rice, gravy, furikake, and egg. You're able to choose from a variety of toppings too, like edamame, jalapeños, or pickled ginger. read more

Food is pretty amazing! Lots of options for vegan meals! Definitely gonna eat here when I'm in San Diego!

I've liked this place for offering vegan food, despite the steep price hike. Recently they redesigned the menu, so I went to try the new item. Namely, the ramen. The noodles are instant and have this strange seafoody taste to them. I think they could stand to be cooked longer. The broth is heavily reminiscent of ginger and soy. As for the toppings, the mushrooms can sometimes be lukewarm. But its better than eating Maruchan, right? read more

Seed + Sprout - S+S ramen bowl with tofu - Vegan Near Me - La Jolla, California

Harvest bowl with jalapeño sauce. My God... this sauce is spectacular. I asked about where I can buy it and found out they make it in house. I would buy gallons of it if I could. I ask for extra sauce on the harvest bowl. It's a killer every time. Try it. Won't regret it. read more

Seed + Sprout - Harvest bowl with extra Jalapeño sauce. My favorite. - Vegan Near Me - La Jolla, California

Love, love, love the sprout bowl with extra pickeled ginger and roasted jalepeno sauce. Healthy and good service.

This is my new favorite place to eat on campus! The staff is always friendly and the portions are always generous (I can never get a lid to fit on!). I thought it was a bit on the pricey side before trying it but the food is super tasty, the flavors are pretty original, the quality is good and fresh, and the food is really (surprisingly) filling. Overall, I think it's a fair value. I've eaten here about five times now trying something new each time and I've been consistently impressed. I hope more locations get opened up around SD! read more

Seed + Sprout - Sprout bowl with a brown rice/quinoa base, miso tofu, broiled brussel sprouts, all the included add-ons, and the miso ginger dressing. Yum! - Vegan Near Me - La Jolla, California

One of my favorite lunch spots in PC. Don't bother with the breakfast, you can do better. My go to is a Sprout Bowl because it's the perfect sized meal for when I'm in need of some hearty energy between my classes or after a workout. My favorite thing about this place is that it's healthy and delicious! It's something that I would never feel guilty about afterwards *cough* Panda Express *cough*. This time I got the quinoa base with brussel sprouts and power beans. Brussel Sprouts are definitely the go to option for veggies, because they're filled with nutrients like protein and omega 3s and so good. Sweet potatoes are second. As far as protein goes, my favorites are power beans!! for the nutritional benefits and candied pork when I'm feelin' a bit indulgent. The duck was anamazing option too, but unfortunately they've discontinued it from the menu. For sides, I love green onions, bean sprouts, a few jalapenos if I'm feelin' caliente, (edamame and corn for a Macro Bowl). For sauce, Kale Avocado or go home! All the toppings are good, but I usually don't prefer raisins. To sum it up: Power beans and candied pork are delicious with Brussel sprouts and go HAM on the toppings. And then send it home with Kale Avocado! Yummy and wholesome. You will not be disappointed. I rate it 4/5 because I'm not in love with ALL their options, but the ones I mentioned make it worth. read more

Seed + Sprout - Sprout Bowl: Brown Rice, Brussel Sprouts, Power Beans, Kale Avocado, sesame seeds, seaweed flakes, and Almond slices - Vegan Near Me - La Jolla, California

This is the NEW best place for lunch on campus IMO. Unfortunately, the line is crazy long. I am betting that macro bowls is the next craze, and I am here for it. This place does it well! There's a TON of options for grains/veggies/toppings/proteins/dressing. I got the Harvest Bowl (there's pre-designed bowls or "make your own" but I was too daunted by options to create my own) and it was: cous cous (super fluffy and good),citrus chicken (tender and flavorful), apple slaw (amen), microgreens, sweet potato hash (nice, nice), and lemon-cashew dressing. I also added almonds to my bowl, and this thing is delicious. The flavors work well together and it's not too heavy. It is a generous portion and really satisfying. It feels worth the $8.95 (prices range up from there depending on what you get) and the quality seems good! The staff are friendly and helpful, also! They said the duck is super popular, but there's also a lot of vegetarian/vegan options. There's definitely something for everyone! Welcome to UCSD, S+S. I will be sad of your long lines but happy for days when I forget my lunch at home! read more

Seed + Sprout - Harvest bowl! Really tasty. - Vegan Near Me - La Jolla, California

I got the Duck + toppings (nori, nuts, jalapenos, bean sprouts?): was pretty darn good. The bbq duck has a more American flavor bbq than what I was hoping for. The avocado + kale dressing is the breadwinner. The micogreens, sweet potato + kale, and Apple slaw all blended together... and honestly I don't even think I got the right ingredients bc I didn't taste any apple flavor... I have no idea which toppings are which so I'd have to go back to check it out. read more

Save your money! I've eaten here a hand full of times and my best advice: save your money. I've always been disappointed with my food here; when they first opened they never had the items that I wanted, so I tried to be adventurous and tried making my own bowl. I've also tried the pre-determines bowls-Duck, Buddha and Harvest. The bowl taste is not cohesive. There are complex flavors individually in each dish, but overall lack cohesive complexity. My final straw was getting served undercooked quinoa. My teeth hurt with every bite read more

Had lunch here the day it opened! Was invited by some friends to try it out. Super glad I did! I had the buddha bowl (I think it was called) with sriracha flavored tofu. There were lots of options depending on what you like. PROS: Lots of vegetarian/vegan options Gluten free options very healthy Good portion sizes CONS: Possible long line (not their fault, just the UCSD food court trend @ lunch) This was a much needed addition to The UCSD Price Center food court. Will definitely be going again when I'm in the area! read more

I come here all the time and the workers are always super sweet! The crispy sesame tofu is probably the best thing I've ever gotten on campus and off of it, great food and great people all around :) read more

Seed + Sprout - Crispy sesame tofu w chimichurri sauce in a sprout bowl :))) - Vegan Near Me - La Jolla, California

What did I just eat? So weird and not in a fun way. Flavors did not mesh well although some things, like the Brussel sprouts and chicken would be fine on their own. The sweet potato was overly sweet. I feel sick. read more

A great delicious, filling, and healthy lunch. Strongly recommend the brussel sprouts and miso ginger tofu

Food was good until I found this piece of plastic. I mean it shouldn't be that difficult to keep your food clean, there was practically no line. Overall decent. read more

Seed + Sprout - a bowl of rice and broccoli - Vegan Near Me - La Jolla, California

I got their acai bowl and it was pretty decent! They have a whole bunch of healthy options here and other stuff like poke and ramen (which I haven't tried yet). The acai bowl is made of acai sorbet and they put a ton of diff toppings on it like peanut butter, granola, coconut, strawberry, and blueberry. The staff here is really nice and the food comes out pretty quick. I'd def recommend checking this place out if you want something with lots of vegetables. read more

Awful! Could not even finish the bowl. Everything was slimy; the avocado mash, tofu and the beets. Tasted weird too.

Delicious food! I love this place because it gives us the option of fresh whole food meal options. I was sad though, I went in and did not have any cash and the system did not let me tip with my credit card. I have been in the food industry for years and I do not think neglecting the option for credit card tips I'd very kind to the employees. Sammy helped me last and she was so sweet and deserving of a tip, I just didn't have cash. Other than that, I love this place! read more

Best build your own bowl concept that I have tried. I recommend their Acai bowl, Loco Moco breakfast and the Ramen is fire also!

My favorite place for lunch on campus! Jose is always super sweet and helpful good vegan options as well

Really satisfying , and easy to go bowl take with you on the go. Recommend if you love eating bowls like chipotle read more

Seed + Sprout - Macro bowl - Vegan Near Me - La Jolla, California

Apart from the microgreens and green onions, everything in my bowl was either dry, old, or wilted. First and last time eating at this place. The chicken pieces looked and tasted as though they had sat in my fridge for a week without any cover. The mushrooms were old enough that they were shriveled. And they should have just thrown out the bok choy - it was yellow and brown in some spots. Do better. read more

Fairly decent food, and a good option for healthy choices on campus, but personally I would never choose to eat here if it wasn't on UCSD's campus. There are many other heath-food places with better and probably fresher options. Also the prices are a little insane, if you're spending $10 on a bowl, might as well go to whole foods and get something substantially better for the same price. read more

Seed + Sprout - size two bowl with tofu, sweet potato, greens, and brown rice + quinoa - Vegan Near Me - La Jolla, California

I ordered a Sprout Bowl with quinoa/brown rice, corn/kale succotach, grass fed steak, green onions, bean sprouts, and chimichurri sauce. The menu itself sounds satisfying and tasty, and is probably one of the healthiest options in Price Center, however, my mind quickly changed when I took my first bite. The steak was dry and tastes bland, like it wasn't marinated. The brown rice seems low quality or maybe they used too much water. After paying $10.xx I went to grab a spoon and fork and found hair in both containers, so I opted for chopsticks. Maybe I just selected the wrong ingredients, so next time I'll try something different and hopefully update this review/rating. Also, this is why I prefer to make my own food but didnt have time to prepare anything for today. read more

There was a long line today but I was right at the front so it wasn't a problem for me. I ordered the make your own macro bowl which comes with 2 bases, 2 veggies, 1 protein, dressing and toppings. I chose couscous and brown rice as my two bases, sweet potato and kale hash, sriracha tofu, kale avocado dressing, and some sprouts and sesame seeds for my toppings. The brown rice was undercooked but the couscous was nice and fluffy. I'm obsessed with the couscous (but be aware, it's a bit spicy) and the hash was so-so. The tofu was just like any other tofu but my most fave thing about this dish is the dressing. So creamy and tangy! I like the idea of this restaurant and it's a nice place to go to when you need something clean to eat on campus, but their execution is a bit lacking since they did just open. Will be back again! read more

There's not a lot of places at the price center with vegetarian options as well as vegan. Today I ordered the açai bowl the Strawberries and blueberries were really good banana is not my favorite but loved the açai I really loved the peanut butter it was the cherry on top thanks for so many options I'm definitely coming back. read more

good protein options and fairly priced, easy to understand menu really good on the go and keeps you full read more

Great service and fresh and healthy food. One of the best and underrated food vendors on campus.

I rate this place a 3.5 and have eaten here a few times. I think the best way to go is to customize your own bowl, so you can select all your favorites. I usually have the S&S greens, quinoa, chicken (a bit dry), sweet potato hash and cauliflower. I top it with seeds, been sprouts and jalapenos. I always get the dressing on the side so I can control the portion. My favorite so far is the ginger miso, but I look forward to trying the others. Service is nice and helpful and I have no complaints! Food is made-to-order, delicious and healthy! read more

This is definitely, overall, the best option at Gilman. It perfectly combines fresh, healthy food with comforting flavors. The diced sweet potato and Brussel sprouts pair so well together, and the citrus ponzu dressing brings everything together. I do wish they would change up the veggie options seasonally. read more

Love the poke bowl I like that they offer two portion sizes. Looks like the duck bowl might be one I will try next. I work on campus and was excited that they got a salad bar finally on campus! I also like the duck bowl! read more

This place is trash. I got the citrus something bowl and I had to throw it out. I couldn't even eat a quarter of it. Not my cup of tea. Maybe it'll work for you, but if you've never tried it, I don't recommend it. They won't refund you if you don't like your food because they only accept debit and apparently they "don't know how to return it that way." So, I'm down $10 (kind of the pricey side) and stuck with a bad taste in my mouth. I regret my decision. I should have gone to Burger King. read more

Great on campus catering option! Their food is very popular among our student group. They have a lot of vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free options that work well when ordering for a large group. I've catered from them multiple times and the process of ordering is fairly easy -- they are very responsive over email and they have a straightforward online payment system where you can review the invoice and pay ahead of time. For the orders, you get a selection of bases, proteins, sides, and dressings and each dish will be packaged separately so that people can make their own bowls. Some of the proteins have an extra cost associated with them so I usually go with the chicken and tofu options. I'm a big fan of their dressings, brussels sprouts, and miso-ginger tofu. Will definitely continue to cater with them in the future. read more

They're not vegan, but they have some vegan options. Their food is kind of bland (and sometimes gross). If it weren't one of the few healthy options on UCSD's campus, I would never go. read more

Been a while since I've gotten to yelp, but man this is worth it. I can't even tell you how great it is to have a healthy option on campus- I'm regularly over at UCSD for meetings and need a place to stop and have a bite. Panda Express? Gross. The food here is so good- totally worth the wait in line. read more

4.5 stars! I am so glad there is now a healthy option on campus. The ingredients are fresh and they have great menu options. Minus .5 star because you can tell that they are brand new and still working out the kinks (long lines and faster service) but you can definitely see the potential of it being a great place to eat. The poke bowl and the harvest bowl are delicious. read more

Love this place. The food is great, healthy and never gets old. My favorite is the Buddha Bowl!!

Price was high for what you get. Portions are fairly small. Chicken had no flavor at all. Kale & sweet potato hash was pretty good. Noodles were overcooked. Hopefully they're just working out the kinks and will improve over time. Might give them another try in a few months. read more

Came here on the day it opened. Got a build your own bowl with ahi tuna. Then I added on avocado. Definitely not worth the price. The food was bland . The tuna was not fresh. It tasted rubbery. Honestly it was pretty disgusting. Afterwards it gave me a horrible cramping and nausea. Do not get the tuna unless you want food poisoning! I might give this place another try but with the duck next time read more

This is the best food place of all in UCSD'price Center, and widely around UCSD. Not sure why this place isn't sporting a line out the entrance doors every evening - you get super healthy food that will fill you up, reasonable prices and friendly staff. My favorite is a (self-created) Macrobowl with rice and salad, BBQ duck, BokChoy, seaweed salad, sprouts, nuts and a cashew lemon sauce on the side to enjoy once I am done with the delish BBQ duck sauce on the rice. It feels like I am getting the best of both worlds - salad and Asian - inspired rice dish. What's not to love :) read more
