Seed + Sprout

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.

Paid $18 for a bowl of rice and veggies. There's a reason you never see anyone at this place, it's not worth the price. While it said unlimited toppings on the menu, the lady serving didn't mention what was a topping and what counted as a veggie, or what toppings costed extra. All the proteins are just ground up meats, and pretty sure that stuff has been sitting there for hours. If you want vegan, go over the lemongrass.

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

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.

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?

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!

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

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

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 :)

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.
