I thought the price was a bit high at first, but the sandwich ended up being huge to the point of it being difficult to eat, so no complaints about how much food you get. I had to remove the arugula on top to eat separately before I could get at the rest of it. Ease of eating aside, I love arugula, so I was very happy with the amount. Taste-wise, it's solid, but not particularly special--nothing stood out to me. The bread got somewhat waterlogged by the meatballs/sauce. It was on the spicy side for me. Service was fast, but note that you have to go through the kitchen for access to the washroom.

I'm still thinking about the meatball hoagie! The toasted sesame bread alone won me over. The combination of arugula, sesame, cheese and meatballs was wonderful. And the portions are very generous, my partner and I shared a sandwich and soup.

The sandwiches here are masterpieces. The meatball or turkey sandwiches are highly recommended.

Tried Say Hey for the first time on Feb 14, 2026 and it was phenomenal. The yam sandwich was perfection but the milk/white chocolate cookie (not pictured) was the star of the show. Best cookie in Vancouver hands down!! The service was so welcoming and kind and made the experience even better.

We found this place on social media and decided to give it a try today. Tucked away between Sai Woo and Newtown Bakery (both, which are pretty good) is Say Hey Cafe in Vancouver - Chinatown.
The employee at the front was very friendly and welcoming. We tried out the Dip Dip turkey sandwich and the Granny Roast beef sandwich since they were out of the meatball hoagie.
I must say that the sandwiches were really good. The kimchi paired well with the provolone and turkey and with the nice dipping au juis sauce made of brown butter. The roast beef sandwich “The Granny” was also really flavourful and tasted fresh and great!
I will definitely give this place another try and hopefully come back to try out the meatball hoagie. I am really happy and pleased with the service and food we received.

Sorry. Really hoped this would be better. But 20 bucks is simply too much for a mediocre sandwich. I had the Doofus!? Doofer?
Love this place. Stoked they’re open Saturday’s now so I can go a lil more often. Neeeeed to try the breakfast sandwiches.

Visited a few times and loved every bite. Great establishment and subs.
Ordered a takeout vegetarian meatball salad, and it was one of the best vegetarian meatballs I've had. Will definitely be back.

Went here and tried the meatball hoagie and it was really good. A tad bit messy but that just makes the sandwich better.
