My favourite Banh Mi! Moved to Mississauga and still have to get a sub from here whenever I’m back in KW. Owners work hard and are always friendly. See you again soon!

The best banh mi I’ve had outside of Vietnam. Would choose Givral subs over any other banh mi shop here or the GTA 10/10 times. The skinnier baguette is ?. Great flavour and value. The meatball sub is my go-to favourite. The shop is family-owned and operated so I always pay cash so they can avoid the card payment fees (no credit, debit minimum $7). Get two subs! I always want a second after I finish my first and for $5ish, you can’t complain much. Parking is a little difficult but you can luck out with street parking infront or park on market lane and walk over. You can call ahead to put in your order if you’re in a rush.

very affordable, quick, fresh, delicious. Always do take away and best to bring cash.
Bought spring rolls there today, August 3/24. 6 for $7.89 or $1.45 each. There was not even 0.1% vegetable in it. It was doughy like they just rolled the wanton wrap and fry. I would not recommend anyone to buy their Spring Rolls. Really disgusting.

Not as good as it used to be. I didnt come in years but 3 weeks ago when i visited I asked for not spicy and it was spicy, they remade it but it was still spicy. I gave them another chance today and i reminded them a few times to make it not spicy. when i went up to get my order i asked again and the staff said “oh thats spicy let me remake it”. How can you forget so fast when i repeated myself twice? Anyway the remade one today was also spicy and the chicken (i ordered chicken teriyaki) was inedible, completely hard like rock. threw it out and went next door to buy one from the new city supermarket.
Edit: the bread is also hard as rock and flakes get everywhere, super hard to eat just very unpleasant

Take-out spot on King near Scott St with very tasty sub choices. Fried Spring Rolls are barely luke warm and blah. Givral had a monopoly on the Vietnamese sandwich street food scene in DT for approximately twenty years... I'm looking forward to seeing what the new kid on the block is like as soon as they open for business street level in the new condo building on King near Cedar.
Extremely rude customer service. Food is okay but the old guy working there should be fired if he’s owner hope this store goes out of business. Disgusting behaviour there is no reason to get mad at customer who’s waiting for his food and already paid i saw that behaviour and i felt extremely uncomfortable. He was rude to everyone and yelling at customer. Don’t waste your time here food quality is okay.✅

I was a regular customer but the service I had recently was terrible and the food quality has gone down hill. The last few times I went either the owner or older Asian male worker at the front was extremely rude. This kind of attitude shouldn’t be interacting with customers at all. The buns they are using are completely different from a Vietnamese baguette and very chewy different from what they used to use.

Used to be the best kept secret in KW but now the word is out! Hands down the best veggie sandwich we've ever had. Sweet, spicy sauce and packed with flavor just an amazing sandwich. Hardest working kitchen in the city, great people, great food.

The sandwiches taste so good but the spring rolls are absolutely magical. They’re extremely affordable too and can adjust spiciness based on your preferences. It’s a pretty small shop and is occasionally full so you may have to stay in line, but their service is pretty quick so not for too long. Highly recommend if you’re downtown Kitchener!
