For $7 this was honestly the best thing I ate in Vancouver.

Ok this is the original location and original owners. Went in the pick up a quick bite. Cost is $7. But disappointed. They presale the sandwiches now as I ordered. The man grabbed a sandwich and put it into a bag.

Not much meat. Pickled veggies were sliced quite big . About 1/3” wide all around. Sandwich Tasted off. Maybe the pickles, maybe something else. But definitely not good!

My new fave is oh ban mi. Much better quality and taste for similar price!

Will not be going back to this location any more.

Great authentic Vietnamese sandwiches. Reasonably priced and owned by an older couple.

Great bahn mi. Try the pork belly...
And go to this one. The others don't cut it.

Hello, Viet person here. Went here and ordered the #1 (cold cut) and #8 (BBQ pork) on a Saturday morning. Parking was easy to find, ordering was quick and quiet, and the shop is owned and operated by an older couple.

For a $7 (the BBQ pork) sandwich, the sandwich is fine. For a Vietnamese sub, it’s very sub par. It is the smallest Viet sub I’ve ever had, and the quantity of the meat and veggies is about non-existent. Compared to “Banh Mi Saigon”, the size of the entire sandwich is about 60% of it, and even the ingredients used are very minimal. Again, it’s great as a $7 generic sandwich, but the fact that they’re charging the same for most of the sandwiches as “Banh Mi Saigon” while only giving ~60% of the portion and quantity should tell you whether or not I’m returning and if I recommend here or not. I see a lot of the reviews being quite stellar from years ago versus trailing more towards mixed as we get closer to 2024, so I’m not sure what happened but it seems like a lot of people enjoy this shop.

I am not a “Banh Mi Saigon” fan boy, it was just much easier comparing this shop to one that is well known for its Viet subs.

A humble but clean mom and pop store with wonderful Vietnamese sandwiches and lovely Vietnamese coffee. Prices reflect good value for money.

Probably the smallest banh mi I've ever been served and really not particularly good...

Cold store just like the service.

I regret having put 15% tips for such unfriendly service

The one and only store. Probably the best Bahn mi in the world. The ham is unique and you can’t get it anywhere else. Of course it depends on personal taste and I have also given 5 stars to other banh mi places but this one is my all time favorite ❤️
