Very flexible manager. Ana was great in helping me out and understanding how to work the kiosk. Also employees really show team work.

Labeling people = bad. Labeling sandwiches = absolutely necessary. Imagine four boxes of six different kinds of sandwiches, all mixed up. Now, imagine these sandwiches with NO labels on them. No labels on the box, no labels on the bag. No labels on the wrappers--no labels to be had!! Next, imagine discovering this AFTER you've already shlepped these four boxes of mixed-up, unlabeled sandwiches clear across campus, having put your trust in a sandwich shop that's been around since 1965 to do the right thing. Friends, this is exactly what transpired at this Subway at precisely 4:30pm on November 18, 2025. To illustrate the severity of this Subway Fiasco, let me ask: how is the person allergic to dairy supposed to traverse this landmine and find their dairy-free sandwich? How will the vegetarian know they won't end up with a dead carcass in their mouth??? This is clearly so much more than a simple mistake--this is a matter of life or death! A catered box of sandwiches MUST be labeled! That's, like, Sandwich 101. I'm also pretty sure this was the second Fiasco at this Subway. I can't remember the first, but I will always remember November 18, 2025. And with Fiascos, there is no third chance. It's two Fiascos, you're out. read more

I thought the customer service could not possibly get worse, but it has become worse. Now nobody will speak to you about your order. You have to go to a kiosk and try to work in everything you would've said to the person to the machine. Forget about it. Left and walked over to tapioca express. read more

One star is too much honestly Door dashed from this location last night. Got four items. Two items were missing and the other two were completely wrong. It was not my dashers fault but the employee working at subway instead. From what I heard they did not want to be working. Door dash refunded me. read more

Food was very late and the employees did not communicate what was happening. I don't think they speak fluent English

nah bro i got a rotisserie chicken and grilled chicken sub for only 13 bucks bro. their app bogo deals r actually unbeatable. and man yk i always assemble the best subs. it's my secret recipe so im gatekeeping what i put in my shi (u can prob see it in the photos). nah but the subs were really good. usually this place be makin it hella trash and usin old ingredients. everything actually tasted fresh when i ordered tho. also they packed that shi too. nah but service is buns asf here tho. i waited 25 mins after placing an online order and that shi still wasn't done. i went to the front to ask about it, and they said its almost ready. but nah bruh i saw the girl start makin it right in front of me! jit tripping bruh. read more

I don't really recommend coming here unless you are a student living on campus at UCSD. This is on campus and there is no parking except for disabled parking across from the entrance. It it inside a food court. The food was good, though. read more

Subway - the entrance to a train station - Sandwiches Near Me - La Jolla, California

1. not enough manpower during peak hours, my mobile order took 2 hours to make and i was pissed off 2. their subway refridgerator outside scammed me. i took a sandwich and it charged me for 2 sandwiches. subway overall is very overpriced but healthy option if you customize correctly Summary: Taste = taste of food Value = price, expertise, other non-food logistics Novelty = memorability among competitors Taste 2/5, Value 1/5, Novelty 1/5. Final score 1/5 read more

It's a bit hard to judge this spot since.. well, you make the sandwich you get. However, the food here is pretty decent for campus food and you can pile on ingredients to get an enormous sandwich for the price you pay. Solid option for dining at Price Center. read more

I'm a new UCSD student still getting used to the campus. Today was my first time stopping by subway. I was EXTREMELY surprised by the rude attitude of some of the workers. When I politely asked why they are using shredded cheese when I ordered cheddar, the woman looked at me like I'm crazy? Like, why on earth would I want shredded cheese on my sandwich? Anyway. I just politely said okay good to know for next time (I won't be ordering cheddar). then when I mentioned I had a student triton cash card he said no we don't let you use that here?? After a few moments of confusion he finally swiped the card and said oh ok. I'm just a little frazzled like. What? Haha definitely making my sandwiches from home from now on. read more

Subway - Sandwiches Near Me - La Jolla, California

This is literally one of the worst subways i've ever been to!! Every time I go they have barely any ingredients but never take the time to say it. They have no ingredients but are stocked up on ATTITUDE. I hate going there because it's always a hassle. When you go they say they're closed for accepting orders upfront and only taking mobile orders, then make you stand in line for mobile orders. Worst restaurant on campus! Never had a good experience here read more

Whoever was working at 6:00pm on Monday October 7th and had a bun need to be evaluated, I asked for a spicy meatball sandwich then had to repeat myself 3 times, I understand that it was loud and I tried to raise my voice but still. They then proceeded to start giving me attitude bc I raised my voice after that she began making regular meatball sandwich which I wouldn't mind but then they charged me for "the boss" which was like 2 bucks extra I know it's probably not worth it but still. Also be nice to your coworker mans was just trying to work. Truthfully I understand that it's not the workers fault but the managers for mismanagement and failing to schedule more work the allotted time read more

Fk this place. If you can't get your orders go through fast enough, get more employees or don't fking open! You can't just let dozens of people crowded at counter waiting for 30 minutes+, especially we are all students and faculties. We have classes to attend and our schedules are tight. We had to manage our time just to get a lunch. Reasons why we choose you is because it's a goddamn Sandwich. It supposed to be FAST and CONVENIENT, not like waited for 30 minutes, received order ready, and told me you haven't even started making it! A fking steakhouse can even serve food faster. Ridiculous! read more

Worst Subway Ever. $11 for a very small 6-inch tuna. I paid for double protein, there was barely more than a smear of tuna. They forgot two toppings. The tomatoes they use were not cored, and the slices I received were the unripe, un cored end pieces. But hey, if you do the survey on the receipt, they will give you a free fountain drink or two mini cookies with your next order of a sub. No apologies. No thanks. I will stick with Jersey Mikes from now on. This was a Grubhub delivery. Coworkers sandwich was wrong also. read more

shit took 30 minutes for 1 person to get their sandwhich. whatttt aw hell nah. ahhhhh helllllllll nahhhhhhh. i'm pissed

PSA: THERE ARE NO FIVE DOLLAR FOOTLONGS (at least for this month of November) This being an on-campus Subway, you expect it to not be as nice as other locations. However, every time I've gone, I've never been disappointed. During lunch hours, the line gets ridiculously long, but they'll open up the other side, which people often don't know about. Anyway, so the times I've gone, there's this amazing worker there who perfects my sandwiches. I remember one time I went during a lunch rush and my sandwich started falling apart a little. Instead of just smushing everything together and resassembling, he just made me a brand new one. I didn't even have to repeat my order to him... he remembered my order AND all the toppings. I really appreciated that because I know that it often gets really stressful when there's 15+ people in line. Overall, I've never had a bad experience here, other than the unfortunate lack of 5$ footlongs. The prices have gone up and it's not really worth paying 7$ for a simple sandwich, especially one that used to only cost 5$. OVERALL: Food: 4/5 -- it's your basic Subway Service: 5/5 -- props to that guy who perfects your sandwiches Price: $ -- But prices have gone up. read more

Subway - This may be the most attractive and appetizing sandwich I have ever encountered. It's composition and distribution is impeccable - Sandwiches Near Me - La Jolla, California

There are few places at UCSD's campus with food that I would consider quasi-edible and Subway usually doesn't come to mind. In fact, there is usually a strange odor coming from their restaurant area so I normally steer clear of it. However, seeing as though it is the most reasonably priced, and relatively healthiest option (until I got my hands on it) I decided that it would be my lunch stop of the day. I had a coupon for a free double meat upgrade and, as ridiculous as it sounds, I decided to order a Chicken Bacon Ranch foot long sandwich...with everything. This thing was huge, and even the employees seemed to enjoy a laugh at trying to figure out how they were going to wrap it and shoehorn it into the bag. That said, the sandwich was pretty good. It seemed to lack a bit of the ranch, but certainly didn't lack any of the fixings, and I struggled to finish it. While there are more dining choices on campus than ever, few provide very good value for the student budget, and even fewer are actually good for you. I probably negated any real health benefits with my colossal heart attack of a sandwich (I estimate it was at least 1200 calories) it definitely went a long way toward satisfying my hunger pangs. Seriously, $5 foot longs is the best idea ever! Food: 7/10 Service: 7/10 Price: $ Atmosphere: 5/10 read more

Subway - two hot dogs on a wrapper - Sandwiches Near Me - La Jolla, California

I am giving Subway 3 stars for the lack of 3 inch subs. Here at Subway, I feel like we, as customers, should have the opportunity to purchase a 3 inch sub -- the perfect size sub. Subway only offers 6 & 12 inch subs, which is way to big if you ask me. 3 inch subs is the perfect size; sometimes too big but usually perfect. 6 inches is ginormous, about 600% more than what I am comfortable taking. Subway, heed my words and listen to the customers -- 3 inches is the best. read more

This review is purely for the customer service and not the food(food was good btw). I was waiting in line and the employees were busy restocking the line. I have no issue with employees restocking the line and wiping it down before helping the next set of customers. However my issue was that there was no COMMUNICATION between the employees behind the line and the customers. They were literally just talking to themselves while wiping down the line and refilling which took a decent amount of time. The least they could do is acknowledge the customers and say something like "hey we will be with you in a moment, we are just restocking the line real quick". read more

As the two ladies have mentioned, the manager at this Subway rocks. He makes sure the workers get those sandwiches done ASAP. One time I got there and there was this long ass line. I couldn't see the manager. Hmmm... 5 minutes later he comes out from the back, sees how long the line is, talks some smack to the employees, takes charge of the register, and the line shortens a little. He then had no more people to ring up because he had to wait for the sandwich makers to finish. He grumbled at them again, moved to the front of the sandwich assembly line, and told them to get their asses in gear. 2 minutes later, I had my sandwich and the line was down to nearly nothing. He is proof that a good manager can make a HUGE difference. update: I'm knocking off a star because the cool dude is gone and they seem to go skimpy on the toppings now. Boooo! read more

I have been ordering large number of lunches for my staff for three weeks from a variety of restaurants in the past few weeks due to training we have staff in. Most restaurants have met the basic needs of my order, but Subway at UCSD went above and beyond. The basic needs of my order were met. The entire order was on time, well priced, and made just as requested. But in several areas they went above and beyond. 1) I brought the order in at 9:00am asking for it to be ready for pick up at noon. They answered enthusiastically, no qualms for the short notice, and no concern for them to be fresh during the rush hour. 2) As I was placing the order Cesar pointed out that two of the sandwiches may get cold in transport and offered to either make them last, wait for me to change the order, or whatever I would like. Mind you he did all of this while his staff handled the steady stream of customers coming in. 3) Then to make it even better when we picked up the food not only was all of it nicely wrapped up and easy to transport, but also the individual boxes all had each staff members name on them so I could easily distribute the boxes. Talk about above and beyond expectations! 4) Now all of the above compliments are for this particular visit; however, I must also add that I eat here rather regularly and often get their salad. I am consistently impressed with their speed (far better than nearly every Subway I've ever been too) and their friendliness even when I slow up the line a little bit with my sale order. Cesar seems to always be there and is always accommodating to every patron. Two other guys have worked their a while also and are also super nice. All in all well deserved five stars. Thanks (gracias) read more

This Subway is about 3 stars in terms of food. I'm not sure why but every time I get my sandwich toasted, it is not as crispy as when I get sandwiches at other Subways. Even when toasted, the bread is still soft and can sometimes get soggy making the sandwich a little less appealing. The customer service at this location however is HORRIBLE. The last 2-3 times that I have been here, the staff has been extremely rude and disrespectful. I have never been met with a friendly face and they try to rush you out as soon as possible. After asking for 2-3 veggies they'll ask if you're done. I'll ask for another 1-2 veggies and they'll ask again. And again. The second time and third time I visited, I told them all the veggies I wanted from the beginning and afterwards they started packing it up before I got the chance to ask for spread with it. The staff is too busy about getting customers out of there as soon as possible to even bother with customer service. They even have signs all over telling people to give them 5 stars on their customer satisfaction survey which they definitely do not deserve, especially if they specifically have to ask for it. read more

After my last few visits to this Subway, I have to change my review to a 1-star. I never thought that it could be this bad, honestly. The last sandwich I had was completely ruined. I had to eat it with a knife and a fork - the bread was completely soggy (pretty much looked completely gone) as it was drenched in marinara sauce from the meatballs, and the sandwich was stuck to the wrapper in many parts. My sandwich before that fell apart as the person failed to wrap it properly, and rather than fixing it just shoved it into a bag. The workers are ridiculously rude lately (even worse than before). They have absolutely no patience, and don't even bother to show any courtesy, manners, or anything of the like. read more

It's the healthiest option at the Price Center, which is the only reason I ever go back. The employees there seem to have a lot of trouble understanding you when you order. I'm not certain if it's too noisy in there or if it's some other issue, but ordering just requires too much effort, and their accuracy is pretty bad. I loathe pickles and 50% of the time "everything but pickles" isn't enough to ward off the cucumbers soaked in evil. I have to object QUICKLY when I see them go for them at the end of my sandwich assembly. Lines REALLY long, unless you go super early. Not worth it. Most of the time when I go to Price Center with Subway in mind, I see the line and end up elsewhere. read more

Located in the heart of UCSD, this place gets CRAZY crowded around lunch time, especially now that the $5 footlong subs are back! (I think for the rest of this month?) The good thing is that they know they're packed and they have (at least today) high energy staff that get through the line quick and fast. I was in and out of there in 5 minutes! I usually go for Chicken Teriyaki, Tuna, or Chicken Breast - can't really go wrong, right? :D read more

A standard Subway; nothing to complain about! Service here is great, even during rush hours. Definitely would come here again for a quick sandwich. read more

THIS SUBWAY WINS. One of the best ones in the franchise 100%. With an elaborate staff and amazing subs, this is THE move. Highly recommend to everyone. read more

*ALERT* * ALERT* The worst subway I have ever seen. Food is not fresh. Bread is stale and undercooked. AVOID SUBWAY ON CAMPUS. Don't waste your money at this subway. DO NOT GO THERE. read more

I went to this subway at around 9:20 pm. They close at 11 but they told us they were closing early today but would serve everyone in line. Keep in mind this line was about 20 minutes long. 20 minutes pass and I'm two away from the front and they just stop serving, and were incredibly rude and unprofessional. So in conclusion, suck my ass subway read more

The convenience is often offset by long lines. The healthiness is cancelled by how much dressing I like. Soup, sandwich, cookie, chips--I like it all. However, a nice lunch is often met with the chatter of many many many students. The three previous cons does not hold true on weekends when I'm feeling health-conscious and studying. Tip: UCSD AS booklets often have BOGO half off or similar deals. When I was a student and AS/SOLO was on the third floor, I'd go up two flights of stairs to grab a coupon and then use it. read more

This is probably the most popular lunch option over at Price Center, both between old school PC and PC East. I guess it's because of the high food-to-cost ratio you can score by purchasing a 5-dollar footlong. Today I got the orchard chicken salad footlong, which has been advertised for a couple of weeks on TV and on billboards, AND it was also a 5-dollar footlong. Nice white meat chicken, lite mayo, apples, and cranberries worked well on a white roll with my favorite veggie add-ins. We all probably have had a Subway sandwich. I tend to get spinach instead of lettuce since spinach tastes better and apparently have more nutritional value? Oh, and they toast your sandwich too, giving in to the pressure laid on by the equally-mediocre Quizno's "mmm-toasty" campaign. If the queue goes completely through their ropes, it's about a 5-minute wait before paying for your sandwich. Any longer does not warrant my patience, and I'd rather head to another lunch option like Burger King (value menu), Panda Express ($4.99 Panda Bowl), or the Sunshine Market (really awesome $1.49 hot dogs). read more

Even though I went to school at UCSD for four years and now currently work in the School of Medicine, I don't eat here because the lines are always crazy and they move insanely slow. Plus, if I want a sandwich, I'll just make my own, I don't want to pay a ridiculous amount of money for one, especially when I don't make use of all their fixins. But now with the 5 dollar foot long deal, it's a little more affordable. Plus, my boss offered to buy my lunch so of course, I ate here. I opted for the oven roasted chicken breast on italian bread with cheddar cheese (it's shredded, not sliced), olives, lettuce, and tomato. It was also toasted :) I thought the sandwich was delicious!! The chicken wasn't super juicy or anything, but it was far from dry. The cheese also tasted decent and the veggies were pretty fresh. My only irk is the service. I've been here prior to my most recent visit, and most of the time they act like they have a stick up their butt. They were a little mean this most recent visit, but I'll let it slide, it wasn't like some past experiences that I've had here... Even though I loved my sandwich, I probably won't be coming back anytime soon. The delicious-ness of the sandwich doesn't change the fact that the lines are always SO long and slow. Plus, I don't think it's worth it to wait in a 20 minute line where you have a 50/50 chance of getting crappy service. read more

How different can Subway be, really? The only thing that makes or breaks a Subway is their customer service. Unless there's a health hazard or something at one of the locations. The one at UCSD is okay--they aren't particularly amazing in customer service but they get the job done. Not sure if I'm just always stuck behind a picky eater or something, but it seems like I've got to wait a while when ordering my food. Sucks, but oh well. Sadly, today was the last day of September, which means no more $5 footlongs (boo). I usually go for the Turkey Breast on Wheat, with pepperjack cheese, and pretty much almost all of the veggies (except olives and jalapenos). I get this toasted which I really love. I love the pepperjack melted into the sandwich with all of thye fresh ingredients on top of it. It's delicious. But yes, Subway can only be as good as Subway. There isn't anything too crazy about their sandwiches, but they're solid. They make you full and for the most part are pretty healthy, depending on what you put in the sandwich. Sad that I can't get a $5 footlong anymore, but hey, I guess I can get the $6 Lunch deal, which gives a 6-inch, a bowl of soup, and a drink. That's not bad either! read more

This has always been a 3 star Subway to me (note: Subway really cannot score higher than 3 stars. Maybe some Subway somewhere deserves a 4, but I've never eaten there), until last week when, sick of the other Price Center eateries, and short on time, I decided to swing by here during the dreaded noon rush hour. I think I had always miraculously avoided the lunch rush in the past, because I think I'm smart enough to know to never go again during that time after this experience, so it couldn't have happened before in the past, but let's recount this joyful time. I'm in the second row of the velvet rope line, and can barely see the bread lady, when she asks what I want. Huh, who is that talking to me? I only see the backs of heads of those in front of me? Ok, I guess I'll yell, something I hate doing outside of sports. I'LL HAVE THE CHICKEN BREAST ON HONEY OAT PLEASE. Toasted? NO THANK YOU. Cheese? NO CHEESE, PLEASE. What veggies would you like? (Internal monologue) Wait that voice is different... yet another employee I cannot see... This pattern continues all along the sandwich line, culminating with them telling me to cut other people in front of me to pay because their subs were being toasted while mine was already done, which if I were those people I would be quite displeased, but since I was in a rush, and I was being yelled at by unseen assailants, I went with it. Got the sandwich back to my desk, take a bite, and it's pretty good, but seems oddly soft. Take another bite... something is missing... Open it up... THERE IS NO CHICKEN! They made and sold me a veggie sandwich. Because I never actually saw my sandwich at any point during the creation process, I had no idea that they never put the chicken in. Needless to say, this sandwich was a touch of a letdown. read more

This subway is established in the UCSD campus. I'm sure the employees have to deal with a lot during finals and what not so quality seems to decreases around that time but fast food is fast food. You get what you paid for. Service is fine. Employees make the food fast. Can't complain too much! I know my club has done a couple events catered by this subway and they have been consistent read more

After a long day of studying, my brain slips into delusion and has a way of convincing me that even the most horrid Price Center offerings look somewhat palatable, which is the story of how I ended up trying Subway, despite me knowing that on multiple occasions, I left quite disgruntled. Usually, the obvious thing that would deter me from Subway is the huge line, and I suppose there is a long line for a reason - Subway is much less toxic for your body than the rest of Price Center food offerings, which really isn't saying much. The service at Subway goes barely beyond taking your order and dispensing your food - they actually make some effort to customize what goes into your sandwich - hardly a plus but worth mentioning. I got the cold cut combo on 9-grain honey wheat. I usually get all the veggies except jalapeno or banana peppers because Subway is the only place where I've had really bad indigestion from eating peppers. The cold cut combo claims to have more meats than just bologna, but really, all I could taste and see was a thick layer of pink mass passing itself off as bologna. Kind of gross... Also, I have a feeling that the loaves of bread are laced with a high dosage of high fructose corn syrup because after consumption, the amount of mucus production, especially in my esophageal lining, literally doubles. I suppose the only positive aspect of Subway are the veggies - a comment not worth reiterating. Most of the veggies they'll give you is lettuce, which, to me, isn't really a vegetable, but rather, cheap mass. Overall, for barely over $5 for a foot long, it is a quick way to fill up and get back to studying, but I always feel like crap for the next few hours. Lesson learned - pack lunch for Geisel studying marathons. Price Center food will be the end of any unwary UCSD student caught without a passable, home packed meal. read more

I just felt the need to jump on board and let everyone know that this is my favorite Subway! So... I might be a little biased, I admit, because of my Subway boyfriend (see Kristen M's explanation below), but this Subway is consistently good when I pick up lunch! Thanks Subway boyfriend, if you're reading this :o) read more

I feel bad that this location has such bad reviews. I go here all the time for a quick and convenient lunch or dinner and I always leave with my expectations met. If you go during lunch hours, obviously you should expect a long line. You're having lunch at the center of a huge campus with thousands of students looking for the same thing you're looking for after all - an inexpensive, quick meal. I can see they're doing the best they can to make your sandwich as fast as humanly possible. It's not like they're stopping to make conversation with another co-worker or slacking off by other means. They've always been fast and efficient from what I've seen over the last 3-4 years I've been going to UCSD. Sometimes during rush hours, they would open a second line on the other side of their stand so that the lines can be cut in half and people can get their sandwiches more quickly. I thought that was nice of them to have a second sandwich bar ready just in case. When I go during hours that aren't as busy, I'll run into an employee that would ask me how my day was as he is making my sandwich. Sometimes he'll even ask if I would like a cup of water since I usually just opt for a sandwich and skip on getting a fountain drink. Most of the time, you have to ask yourself for a cup. Little things like that add to a person's day, folks! I'm a definitely a fan here. read more

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
