Kim's is a sandwich counter and restaurant specializing in Vietnamese sub sandwiches (banh mi).
Kim Saigon Sandwiches (vietnamese sandwiches) in Chinatown, are the best vietnamese sandwiches in the city.
I discovered this place from a segment i saw on a tv show many years ago; took a chance and dropped by, because, back then her sandwich counter shop was hidden, tucked away, located at the back of a grocery store, and, its location then was within eyeshot of GroundZero.
Well, she's done well for herself. No longer a sandwich counter at the back of a grocery store, but now Kim has her own location--sandwich counter service and restaurant--on Main & Pender. Location has improved, somewhat, but, I have to say, I don't particularly like going to that neighbourhood.
But, if you're ever in Chinatown and want a change from say, Subway, you got to try Kim Saigon Sandwiches. Cheap, too. $3.25 for a sandwich. Get the ham sandwich, the first one on the handwritten price list. She kept the aging old price list from her first location.
Oh, and Kim and her one employee (same lady I always see at the front counter section) always was their hands between cash transactions.
