There is a Quiznos in Songdo New City, Songdo IFEZ, Shin Songdo, what have you.
It's across the street from the Convention Center near the Posco apartment buildings, the ones that tower over the rest of New Songdo.
For those of you that live in Yeonsu-dong or near by this is the closest sub store. You can take the Incheon (Light Blue) Line to Central Park or take any number of buses nearby.

I will be going today and will report how tasty it is.

Quiznos is ridiculously overpriced.

That's why most Koreans avoid it.

Yea. The one in my town closed down.

I think the cheapest sub was 8000w. The Angus Steak sub was 16,500w Shocked . I got it a few times, and there were generally people in there, but I think overpriced sandwich just aren't for Koreans.

Sandpresso is an OK deal. Coffee and a sandwich for 8000w.

It was quite expensive and wasn't toasted enough. Not sure how often I'll be going back, but it was a welcome addition seeing that part of Incheon doesn't have many options.

Paid 20k for a sandwich set at the hongdae store. Decent enough sandwich but wayy too expensive for what you get. A toasted footlong set from Subway doesn't taste much different and is 1/2 the cost, sometimes even less.

OP, there's a decent sandwich shop in the food court of Lotte Dept Store at Incheon Arts Center. Used to be a Subway back in the day so it tastes the same and has similar prices. Might be a good option for you.

The Subway near me is pretty poor. Bread is usually stale (doesn't matter much 'cos I get it toasted), meat is lower quality (if that is possible) than back home. Quiznos (at least in my experience) was far superior, as good as the best sub I've had (from a chain restarant) at home. A shame it closed. I ate their at least once a month.

Yes, Subway here isn't great either. Actually one of biggest gripes of mine is the lack of good sandwich options available. Usually end up making my own or buying one from Paris Baguette. If I'm realyy desperate, then Family Mart.

Everything that goes into a sandwich is just too expensive here - from the lettuce, cheese, large tomatoes, to the deli meat. Sigh.

I wonder how much would they would have to charge for this "Hat" pastrami?

Dunno how it compares to The Hat, but Suji's does a pretty good lookin' pastrami sandwich for the bargin price of 15,000

Cheaper than the Angus Steak sub at Quizno's Razz

Lol, Suji's sucks. I was one of the people commenting in that entry. 15k won for a tiny, mediocre (AT BEST) sandwich? COME ON! If you've been to The Hat, then you'd know just how crazy you sound.
