Excellent New Sandwich Spot!
The Excelsior//Balboa Park needs to chill on the delis; it’s so hard to pick which spot to hit when I’m in the area craving a sandwich. This new addition didn’t miss. It's a perfect little sandwich shop. The service is friendly and helpful, even remembering my name as I was heading out the door (huge points for attention to details). I ordered the Italian on Dutch, and the sandwich was fresh and well balanced. Perfect bites every bite.

Delicious Subs, Great Value!
My experience at Ocean Subs was fantastic! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the sandwiches were absolutely delicious with generous toppings. The value for money is simply unbeatable. I only wish I had discovered this place sooner! I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Thanks so much!

Ocean Subs: Fresh, Flavorful, and Fantastic Value!
My experience at Ocean Subs was nothing short of fantastic! The menu offers a great selection of both pre-set and fully customizable subs, ensuring there's something to satisfy every craving. I was particularly impressed with the fresh ingredients and the generously stuffed sandwiches – they certainly don't skimp here. The great service from the down-to-earth staff made the visit even more enjoyable. The combo deal, which includes a sub, drink, and chips for only $15, is an unmatched value and a true bargain considering the quality. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of my visit and am eager to return to try more of their delicious subs!

Delicious Food, Great Value!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The price was great, and the food tasted amazing. I've tried the Atomic and Italian options so far, and they were both super delicious. The portions were generous with fillings, and the overall price was excellent – it truly had everything! The staff were nice as well. The only suggestion for improvement would be to implement a system for ordering ahead, but that's a minor point as you can't have everything. Overall, a great experience.

A Delicious Sandwich Experience
I finally had the chance to try this place out. Upon arrival, I was greeted by their very welcoming, well-trained, and understanding staff. Their menu is simple, consisting of specialty subs, salads, and a build-your-own sandwich option. Everything is made to order, which is always a plus, and I never mind the wait since I am a patient person. You can have your sandwich as is or toasted. When I first arrived, it was empty, but as time passed, the place filled up. From the staff to the sandwich and atmosphere, it was a great experience. I highly recommend this place to all sandwich enthusiasts, those on a limited time, or anyone looking to try something new. I will definitely be back to try the other delicious options they have to offer.

Delicious Sandwiches, Worth the Parking Hassle
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, primarily due to the really good sandwiches made with fresh ingredients. While the parking was a bit tough, it was absolutely worth it for the quality of the food. The service and atmosphere were also very good, contributing to an overall enjoyable visit.

Great Subs, Nostalgic Vibe!
I came here expecting it to still be Deli World, as Mrs. Kim had mentioned retiring for years. I'm glad I visited before moving away, as it's now under new management and I'm happy I did. The subs were fresh, tasty, fat, and great priced for the amount you get. I would highly recommend. This place still has that old-school vibe from Deli World, including the chairs, which feels like a homage to a great business. I wish this place the best of luck 👏.

Amazing First Experience, Will Return!
As a first-time customer, my experience at this restaurant was wonderful. I was welcomed in by a young girl who immediately made me feel valued. She was very helpful in assisting me with my decision. The service was amazing, and the food matched that quality. My time here was very nice, and I will definitely be returning.

Delicious Subs, Fresh Ingredients, Great Service!
My experience at this restaurant was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Atomic Sub, and it was the perfect size, packed with great flavors. The generous amount of meat and veggies meant I could easily save half for later and still be satisfied. The subs are made to order and guaranteed fresh, with all meats and veggies prepped daily, ensuring the freshest possible sub. The quality is truly noticeable. Thanks to Lee for an amazing meal and an even better conversation. I can’t wait to continue visiting and trying more off the menu. Support local ALWAYS!
