“This location is aesthetically very nice.

Cheap food but quality is not amazing. Sauce is extremely salty. Shake Shack much better. The primary selling point of this place is the price.

I wish they gave you a bag for takeout orders instead of just the box (which easily opens).“

“I would like to commend, Ms. Natividad
S., manager of the Santa Monica, CA,
Subway , located at 1221 -A Wilshire Blvd..
Natividad patiently assisted me today,
4/1/25, with installing the Subway App on my i phone as my i phone skills are sadly very limited.. I signed the Subway App,
purchased a foot long , and have become
a Subway loyal customer……:… all because of Ms. Natividad S. courtesy and patient assistance.“

“They have a couple convenient parking spots right there so you don't have to park in the street. Otherwise, they've usually executed my online orders just fine. Unfortunately they don't honor all the subway coupons, but I think I've seen that elsewhere. West Los Angeles area. I tried to use the online 699 coupon for footlong. I'm not sure if it was a soccer special or one of the specials and it would not allow me to order online saying the store doesn't honor that promotion“

“I went to Subway on 6/21/26 on my bicycle to pick up lunch for my sister and I. During my visit Eric showed exceptional customer service. He acknowledged me as soon as I entered, asked if I had an online order and handed me the sandwich after I mentioned my name. I also stated that my sister would be ordering soon and called me once he had finished her order. He then offered a bigger bag to put in both sandwiches and placed them in gently and organized for me as he saw I was on my bicycle. This small action made me feel special and appreciative. In addition, it made it easier for me to navigate my bike safely. Thanks Eric!“

“brakefast jack ,jumbo jack,spicy chicken ice coffee“

“Honestly one of the smoother drive-thru experiences I've had. The line looked pretty long but it kept moving and I didn't end up waiting nearly as long as expected. My nuggets and mac and cheese were both piping hot when I got them. They also remembered every sauce I requested. Really impressed with the service.“

“Made a special order this morning, asking for an “abundance of sliced jalapeños” on my sandwich.

Y’all. They understood the assignment.

Thank you, morning crew for giving me the best sandwich of the decade. 10/10, would recommend. Give these guys a raise.“

“Great neighborhood Pizza Hut chain.

This location always comes correct with our order and the pizza is hot and fresh. No fluff just Za. How it should be.

Easy parking on their side street if you’d rather pick up.“

“WOW!!!! What an ULTRAmazing experience at the Vermont and Santa Monica location. The Staff were so accommodating and the food is always made fresh with a secret ingredient love 💕.

These staff members are a team and you can tell that everyone roots for one another KUDOS to the entire staff members and managers. See you soon“

“Had a few weeks where I had to find a place to crash with my daughter on Wednesdays for an hour. We were lucky to find this Wendy’s because Christopher was a total legend - professional, friendly and excellent with customers. Made our “Wednesdays at Wendy’s” a good time while we had nuggets and burgers (no bun) ! Thank you, Christopher!“

“They absolutely did not add a gratuity to anyone's bill without telling them, it asks what tip amount you want to give before you swipe your card, and I could tell just from how the employees were acting that they are getting a bad deal here, at this Subway. Normally there's no need for a Subway to compete with anyone. And if the surrounding yuppie restaurants are any good, then there's no reason for them to compete with Subway. But it must be weird, running that location, I see that they're trying, very hard. Perfect sub.“

“I noticed a difference in the freshness of the steam veggies as well as the tenderness of the chicken. Don't know if this is the result of suggestions I tried to pass regarding the vegetables, but regardless, this time around the veggies were steamed to perfection.“

“Is bigger and is really clean with alot of parking... Definately i will come again and recomended to everyone i know.... �“

“Love the corn Dogs lemonade very tasty“

“Katherine is truly excellent at her job, and Paulo provides amazing customer service every time. I love coming here not only for the fresh, delicious menu items but also for the friendly conversations and positive experiences. With Panda Rewards on top of that, it’s the perfect spot to stop by in between my medical studies. Highly recommend!“

“Panda Express Santa Monica is a great one — easily one of those branches that consistently delivers the flavours you expect. I’ve always loved Panda Express, and this location keeps that same satisfying taste and quick service that makes it such a reliable go‑to. The portions are generous, the dishes come out fresh, and everything feels well‑run.
There’s also something about the Santa Monica vibe that makes the experience even better. Whether you’re grabbing a quick meal before exploring the area or stopping by after a long day, it hits the spot every time. If you’re a Panda Express fan, this branch definitely won’t disappoint.“
