Express Vietnamese Subs & Deli

I forgot to take a picture because I dove right in! I got the beef pho and the broth is absolutely delicious! It’s a cute little shop with an easy to navigate menu, and I love that they have staple options to choose from! Reduces the whole “what should I get” decision paralysis I normally have.

The broth is fantastic, the couple that runs the shop are super sweet, and service is quick and neat! Highly recommend popping in.

Absolutely amazing I was out and about all day walking and needed a water bumped into this little shop very close to home and decided to grab a water and a bite, I noticed immediately the completely open and transparent kitchen the lovely atmosphere the music the smells and the bright ambiance. The sweet lady and gentlemen were incredibly attentive and the gentlemen was such a pleasure to speak with almost like a friendly family figure anyone comes to love I asked and had questions answered and even learned a little about his life his business and his philosophy and man this gentleman needs a book or documentary or podcast because he is incredible and smart. I asked about his menu and he said "when you have a few items they can be perfected and when done many times over they only grow better not like restraunts that have 100 items they become cluttered and wastefull"

And I asked about his very very yellow sauce on the sub I ate as it was delicious and he let me know for all of their dishes they use only the best ingredients and he also made the very bright mayonnaise by hand and with farm fresh deep yellow eggs.

I mentioned how I loved the entire music and atmosphere and vibe that was generally about and he said "everyone eats with all 5 senses, 1 their eyes, 2 their nose, 3 their mouth, 4 their ears
And 5th the atmosphere in which they eat"
That made me very happy and when I asked him if his food is authentic he immediately let me know it's authentic to him and that Vietnamese subs actually come from French colonists visiting Vietnam and things like the term sate also derive from it.

I asked swell about him and his wife and their business he told me 20 or so years ago that they opened a store in North calgary and that they had so many customers asking about another store in downtown so they opened one on 5th Ave and again more asked about another location so they opened at 6 Ave this location being reviewed and although the prices are slightly higher and they are open 5 hours 5 days a week I Absolutely recommend this business and especially meeting the owner as he's such a nice soul to interact with. And the food tastes of love and warmth.

We will be back and hopefully leaving more amazing reviews!

Unfortunately my phones recording doesn't do the atmosphere justice as it was my earbuds picking up static trying to get the music

Vegetarian options: There is many vegetarian options and kitchen is very open you can assure there will be no cross contamination

This is the cutest mom and pop shop on the block. I absolutely love their beef subs. Their spring rolls are crunchy! Their soup is so filling and always warms me up on a cold day! Perfectly located if you are at the courthouse.

Ingredients are really fresh and seasoned very well. Subs are phenomenal.

Only downside is they are only open during lunch hours...

Best sub I’ve ever had.
Friendly service.
No utensil provided.
The business is still using unrecoverable form containers, which is no good.

Very good. Had a beef sub and was impressed with the value for the price. Asked for a little spicy but could have done medium spicy.
