    Lemongrass Chicken "Sub". As you CAN'T see, chicken is nowhere to be found because it was overpowered but the excess carrots.
    Casey Lyn B.

    After road traveling from Jasper to Calgary, we were reallllyyyy hungry. This was one of the places that was still open and that looked appealing.. FOOD: I ordered the Chicken Banh Mi (probably my mistake on that order but I didn't want anything too heavy). I thought the Banh Mi was okay.. not the greatest I've tried.. I didn't really enjoy eating it.. I only ate half of the sandwich just to fill my stomach.. I threw away the other half.. I've never throw away food, especially Banh Mi.. But this was not appetizing. My friend ordered the beef Banh Mi and he said it wasn't good either.. I wouldn't come here again (not that I would anytime soon..) The only reason I would come back is to see.. someone.. EHEHEHE. *hint hint

    Came across this place while I was wandering down 17th ave. I saw the words bubble tea and had to check it out! I ordered a lychee bubble tea with half pearls and half popping jelly. They seem to have a number of flavors in each to choose from as well as from their regular jelly. It wasn't the most flavorful bubble tea I have ever had. And I really should've just gone for the regular jelly instead of the popping kind ( which seems better suited for frozen yogurt ) The sub was a different story - it was generous portions of both chicken and beef cooked to perfection and let's you chose what you wanted on top ! I decided on cucumber, cilantro, grated carrots and the thai sauce on a whole wheat bun. It was quite a large size and I was able to split it with my girlfriend. I would certainly go back and explore different options of the bubble tea next time and order the sub the the exact same way!

    Yummy in my tummy... The subs are really good. Whether you have the beef or chicken sub, you'll definitely be satisfied. This sub shop isn't like a subway, they are more of a fast food sub and noodle joint with the typical bubble tea. Location is next to a high school so you can imagine how many go there over lunch. Parking also sucks but it's not easy to park anywhere on 17th really. It's not as nice inside as I would have thought... Employees have no dress code, just street cloths... T-shirt and jeans. No room to eat, just order and leave basically. So where they lack in atmosphere they make up for taste. It's worth trying out if you're in the mood for Vietnamese style subs or noodle bowls.

    Thai Thai on 17th serves the second best bubble tea in the city. The first best is from Bubblicous in the N.E., but if you're not planning on making a trip down there anytime soon, the bubble tea at Thai Tai is sure to satisfy. I always get the same kind: Strawberry & Mango with pearls. SO friggin good. You know I love them because I'll go to Thai Tai JUST for the bubble tea. You'll never see me leave with any food because the bubble tea is what satisfies me to the core. If you've been going there regularly but have yet to try their bubble teas, I highly recommend you do. Oh, and be sure to try the Strawberry-mango, it's a killer combo!

    If you're looking for something cheap and fast, Thai Tai is the spot. Open late every day of the week, this is the place to go when you want easy on a late Saturday night. There were a few people eating inside but majority of customers were grabbing food to go. We were in the same boat. It's more of a take out joint than a restaurant. - Sate beef salad roll (#4) ($5.00) - we grabbed a beef salad roll to try. There were only two of them. Pretty mediocre but they were pretty stuffed. - French fries (#8) ($3.95) - crunchy and better than your average fast food joints. My one friend orders them all the time and loves it but I thought they were a bit stingy on the amount that we got. We were starved so these were gone pronto. - Spicy sate chicken (#27) ($6.70), veggie (#20) ($4.25) & cold cut special (#21) ($5.95) - three of us ordered banh mi's to go. These weren't the best I've ever had but were decent. Portion size is gigantic, you'll be full after eating one. They toast up the bun for you (yes!) and you can choose what you want for your toppings (everything obviously). - Sate tofu and veggie spring roll bowl (#35) ($8.50) - our other friend wanted a more substantial meal so she opted for the sate tofu and veggie spring roll bowl. Lots of tofu, shredded lettuce/carrots and green onions over your choice of steamed rice or rice vermicelli noodles. Again, big portions but it hit the spot. She had leftovers for the next day. With so many other options on 17th Ave to choose from, I can't see myself coming back anytime soon unless I'm craving some late night banh mi's eats. I haven't been able to try banh mi's elsewhere but I know there are better places in Calgary for them.

    Man, do these guys know how to make a mean sub! I'm no expert on these particular subs, but I am an expert at what I like to eat, and Thai Tai certainly hits the good spot! I was super surprised by the variety of their menu and could barely decide what I wanted. I finally settled on the sub and couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it. The stuff they put on the subs may seem a bit weird, but it all tastes so good together! I especially enjoyed getting it to go so that I could enjoy a nice stroll down 17th. They wrap it so conveniently that it's simple to walk and eat at the same time. I also got a bubble tea which was a nice contrast to the slight spiciness of the food. But, you can never go wrong with a bubble tea! Next time I crave a sub, I'm not going to think about getting Subway, instead I'll probably hit up Thai Tai for another delicious sub and refreshing bubble tea.

    Now this is how you make a sandwich! There's such a thrill in finding incredible local eats. I'm…read morenot usually a big sandwich person, but a good foodie friend of mine said they heard the hype about Scozzafava's so I went along. No regrets. If you didn't know about this spot, you might easily pass by without a second glance. Scozzafava's serves up authentic, classic Italian sandwiches that just slap. They use a soft sesame seed bun, which probably is the most unique part of the sandwich. For their marinara sandwiches, I wish they used a thicker bun to better absorb all the sauce. The sesame bun didn't keep its integrity, sadly. The meatball marinara was glorious! Slightly spicy, super moist meatballs, slightly sweet marinara, and perfectly paired with bitterness of the rapini. Don't forget the cheese pull! We also grabbed the classic Italian deli, which was scrumptious and very filling. You can't go wrong with either option, in my opinion.

We came to the store to order. and you know the service is top notch. The owner is very friendly and there is a warm ambiance about the place. On to the food, My brother order a chicken parm subs and say his sub was excellent as always. I ended up getting two subs. One was the meatball sub which was exceptional. The meatballs were well seasoned and were larger than my mom made when she was alive. the buns were toasted to perfection crunchy but not burnt. They had just enough sauce and cheese to compliment the sub but not overpower it . i also got a turkey pesto sub which had a lot of meat and cheese. This was very good and if i come back to Calgary i will definitely come back.

In addition to…read moresome sandwich and salad staples, they have rotating weekly features of different hot dishes and soups. On this visit, I tried the mac and cheese and beef/barley soup. The soup was warm and inviting with real beef. But, the real highlight was the mac and cheese: extra creamy made with real cheddar cheese and topped with buttery homemade croutons. For the portions provided, $10 is more than fair for well-prepared comfort food!

They offer two fresh soups every day which are clearly not canned and made from scratch. They also offer a different special every day of the week that can be supplemented with a salad or a small soup. These specials range from clubhouse sandwiches, to spring roll on vermicelli, to mac n' cheese (scratch made). One of my go-to places for lunches and as a soup connoisseur they are able to beat out most places by providing homemade soups instead of the typical generic Campbell's stuff you find in most delis. One thing I would like is for them to switch up and try their hand at making other soups because I have been here so many times the soups are getting slightly old (but still tastier and better value than Sunterra) TLDR: Soups good, specials can be good, sandwiches fresh, salad available.
