This quaint little restaurant makes the best subs in town.
I always order the meatball sub and chicken sub with peppers
that add a special, flavourful kick. The bread they use is crisp, light
and quite amazing.
The prices for these subs can't be beat. Definitely worth every
penny.
When I order take out, sometimes there is a
short wait in preparing the subs due to its popularity and this
restaurant is always busy with customers lining up outside!!!

I recommend this restaurant to all who want great, affordable take out subs.

Had lunch here a few weekends ago. Had the meatball with bread, as well as shared a standard ham sandwich, as well as one with meatballs. The meatballs were quite good. Also had the Vietnamese beef stew.. which was good, but seemed to lack flavor a little.

Also had noodle soup with grilled chicken on top, I don't know the exact name as I did not order. But the soup was good, and the chicken tasty.

Service was efficient and courteous, also had a quality check during the meal. Food was reasonably priced there. its pretty cramped in there and lots of people waiting, so be prepared to wait

Would probably be back for the great food.

Vietnamese sandwiches - amazing. Get the house special with hot peppers, it's crunchy, crispy, tasty, all in one, can't get enough, can't beat $4 price tag well.
Pho - so so, not the best Pho. Good curry noodles and beef brisket, served with rice or French baguette or noodles, your choice. Awesome. I've been there may 8-10 times and have yet to be disappointed. They get busy really early so get there before noon or you're in line. But so worth the wait I promise you.

Stopped in for lunch and this little place was just packed. Waited about 10 minutes for a table.

I ordered the grilled lemon grass chicken with veg and noodles, while my friend ordered the beef stew with rice. Both were very good indeed.

Service was pretty good given how busy the place was.

Room is clean and functional (and a bit cramped), but given that this is value dining place, ambiance is not a biggy.

I need to come back to try the pho.

It truly is juicy and delicious. And so they end up selling out daily around noon to early afternoon. Though after a while, it feels a little anemic. Just isn't enough content! Need more more more! Can't just say I'll eat a 2nd sub... that's just way too much bread in my belly at that point. As for the noodles, it isn't great. Isn't even *cough* any *cough* good.

Context: lunch only and usually take-out.

Food: I've sampled the subs, pho, spring rolls, and meatball dish on different occasions. The only reason I frequent this place is for their delectable subs. Crispy and warm on the outside, and soft chewy center...and that's just the bread. The deli meats fare quite good too, although it's probably sourced from the same supplier that sells to the numerous sandwich shops around town. What sets them apart is the flavouring that they create by melting the pate and butter into a spreadable sauce used in their subs. Their pho is so-so and their spring rolls are good when fresh.

Service: quick and efficient. The friendliness factor can be a hit and miss, depending on how busy they are. And they are...so don't expect the "how y'all doing today" banter.

Value: Vietnamese food is generally cheap to begin with so this would be a 5 compared to high end places, but not exceptional when compared to its peers. Pho is not massively sized. Subs are about 75 cents more than its competitors (but really, do you miss 75 cents??). So all in all, I give them solid value for the great subs they put out. I would gladly pay the additional 75 cents.

Ambiance: seats about 40 patrons in cramped quarters. They've added some nice prints to their wall decor and reconfigured their seating. Super busy during lunch hour so I recommend ordering ahead for take-out to avoid the hassle with limited seating.

Enjoy! Oh yeah, recommended for sub lovers.

This is a great place for subs. They probably make the best vietnamese subs in Vancouver. The place is not in the best location and definately not the greatest place for ambience. The tables are too close together and probably only 1000 sq feet for the whole restaurant but one thing for sure is, this place serves Great vietnamese food ! Service is decent at best, perhaps its the language barrier ?

I was there with family and a friend. I had the curry with baguette, kid had a Hainanese Chicken Rice, wife had dry Pho and friend had a Soup Pho.

The curry was too sweet but the baguette was fantastic (crusty outside and soft inside), wife and friend said the Pho is one of the better ones around while my kid says the chicken rice taste nothing like chicken rice!

While eating, noticed a lot of the other diners had a sub in addition to their Pho, so we decided to order one to share. Waitress recommended the house special that has some cold cut and meatballs. Not bad, but again, the baguette was fantastic.

Decided to buy some baguette home, but was told they are sold out!! That was about 3.30 pm. So, go early if you want to try the baguette.

Would have given 4 stars for food, except that all of us felt extremely thirsty for the rest of the day. Too much msg I suppose. Will return for the baguette.

Be prepared to wait at least 20 minutes for a table! I recommend phoning for takeout before 12pm...and this only applies to their tasty vietnamese subs, usually sold out by 1pm onwards. It's everything you want in a sub in terms of freshness, flavor crispy bread with soft cetre...pretty fantastic. You will not get it this good anywhere else in Vancouver, trust me. It does cost a bit more, maybe a 50-75 cents more per sub. If you ask really nice, they might allow you to pick up sub orders later in the day but you have to order in the morning and basically be regular / recognizable customer.

The rest of their menu (pho, curry, lemongrass chicken, etc.) are so-so and rather bland, and their portions on the skimpy side in comparison to other vietnamese restaurants. Feeling rather thirsty afterwards? Probably lots of MSG, which does NOT improve on the food's blandness.

I personally think they should probably just stick to selling subs, vietnamese coffees and maybe their spring rolls all day long and just scrap the rest of their menu. I heard the problem is they can't order enough of this bread from this special bakery...that's why they can't sell all day long subs, and ordering from a less than fabulous bakery will scale down the product a bit.

The place is a tiny 10 tables, ambiance best described as grandma's filipino / asian kitchen from the '80s and the service is always playing catch up so you will not get much eye contact (they know you're waving at them...they're just too busy to make it over to you right now).

Go there...for takeout subs only! Sit down to eat if you have at least 1.5-2 hours to spare.

I eat the subs here on recommendations of others, and they are always packed with lots of great filling. But they sure run out quickly, aren’t they prepared after all these years to order more for the demand? Do they order less to run out early in the day on purpose? Spring rolls are also tasty. Service is attentive and efficient, but understandably rushed. Just wish they would buy some more bread.
