 Sammy's is nice, but a bit overpriced for what it is. (but yeah, their
 calzone does rock!) I moved from San Diego about two years ago, but here's a
 few places I miss very much.

 If you're standing looking at Sammy's, head left a few corners until you get
 to the French restaurant, whose name escapes me. VERY good.

 Ichiban on University Avenue in Hillcrest. More of a cafe style - order your
 delicious japanese food/sushi at the counter and then grab a table. It's
 cheap, healthy, and delicious. There's also Kung Food on 5th Ave for some
 really good vegetarian. And Old Town Mex in Old Town.

 Also, I really miss the Spaghetti Factory. Definately cheap, but with loads
 of food!

 Have fun!
