I did a make your own sandwich with some meats, veggies, and the pesto and spicy chili sauce and WOW. SO flavorful and so delicious. I am a big eater and the half focaccia was more than sufficient. The server who made my sandwich was so rad and friendly. He was quick to help and offer so many great suggestions. I forget his name but he had great customer service skills. Would recommend to make the visit and would love to come back.

Fresh focaccia with prosciutto, bocconcini, and pesto here is one of the best lunches in the city. Lineups move pretty fast and the staff working behind the counter know what they are doing. Always a top notch experience.

My go-to spot for all things Italian…read more This family-run gem has been serving the Burnaby community for over 30 years. This gem is known for its authentic Italian fine foods, premium meats, and gourmet deli selection. We love shopping at Cioffi for their quality, freshness, and tradition, especially their fresh cuts from the butcher, grab-and-go meals, and premium gourmet products. All in one stop! Best Italian Meat Market!

Look, if you're looking for fine dining, this isn't the place. If you want a very filling sub with…read moreingredients that are prepared fresh in front of you, this is the place in this neighbourhood. This is not a $u6way sandwich, let's say that up front. It's so much more than that. First impressions might be that the $14 ish range for a 6" sub is a tad pricey. We upped the anti, chose a full footer and shared, it was maybe $24? The Morty 3.0 did not disappoint. It honestly for us could be four meals. It was so good, the chips, salsa, queso, made in house and a drink, as a $5 add is gold. The staff are engaging, friendly and want you to enjoy your experience while dining there. We love the spartan, straight forward unapologetic ambiance of the place. Vennie's on Venables is a 6 out of 5 in our humble sandwich opinion.

Very small shop with limited seating. We tried the rigatoni (with meat sauce) and pappardelle (with…read moretruffle cream sauce.) The canned sparkling lemonade was also quite good. The portion size is decent and I left feeling full but not stuffed. The noodle texture also has a nice bite to it. For me I prefer creamy sauces so the pappardelle was my favorite!

Amazing Italian food in an unassuming hole in the wall…read more Came here for a quick dinner and we had the lasagna as well as a calabrese pizza. The lasagna was incredible - honestly I think the best lasagna I've ever had. And the pizza dough was so light and airy it took me by surprise. I wonder how they achieved this texture. Flavours were also on point. Service was friendly (walk up to the counter to order), and it's a casual hole in the wall with limited seating. It looks like they do a lot of takeaway and don't have alcoholic beverages at this location. Excited to come back to try more items on the menu, and also to try their larger location on Commercial!

Awesome bamh mi place close to Metrotown that is very affordable. They do sit-in and take-out and…read morefood is made pretty quickly. The staff are also very nice. The street-side entrance is pretty sketchy-looking and we totally went by the place the first time even though we were looking for it because of how barricaded-up it looked. But once you get inside, it's very cosy. There's a huge electronic menu right behind where you order, which is great. I don't have to dquint to read everything! For sure a small place, they have quite a bit of selection for food. The banh mi comes as just a sandwich or as a meal with spring rolls and a can of pop. I got the garlic beef one which was amazing. They are very generous with the meat, mine had at least 4 or 5 whole slices throughout. My boyfriend had the deluxe classic which was also delicious and huge. Takes me at least 3 bites to cover the width of the banh mi to try all the toppings! I definitely want to go again and try the lemongrass options next time.

I love how the cheese are all melted. The staff / service here was great. I was given the option if I wanted white or wheat bread. After ordering the staff immediately had it prepared for me. The restaurant was clean and the decor was quite nice. I like that they give you the many options of hot sauces to choose from with a scale of spiciness ranging from 1 to 10 being the hottest. I will definitely come back next time.

I always like Firehouse subs. This location is the lacking one. I have been to other Firehouse and…read morethis one is on the cheaper end when it comes to meat and cheese. Their sub is still very delicious. Service is also a bit lacking at this location. You have to flag down a staff for ordering. I am guessing this location do a lot of student business and doesn't care much for services. I got the steak and cheese melt and I do like the subs but again like mentioning before for $15 they could put more meat and cheese in the sub. I prefer the other locations.

The crispy baguette loaded with lots of pickled veggies but I still missed the crackling pork bahnmi. I find that they put less hoisin sauce in the crackling pork bahnmi at this location. The one I had at their Broadway location was better because of the sauce Last time I came on a stat holiday and there were people waiting already. This time we came on a weekday around 12:30 and it is packed as well. Definitely, budget more time if you are in a hurry

We visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy! But thankfully due to the staff's efficiency and…read morefast service, we didn't have to wait too long for our drink and banh mi order. We ordered the House Special Cold Cut ($9.25) and their seasonal special Matcha Fog ($7.95). The banh mi was delicious as always with a nice amount of filling and crunchy bread. I do think the bread was a bit on the crunchier/harder side this time though, but it was still tasty. The Matcha Fog was unique and the London fog paired well with the earthy matcha and neither flavours overpowered each other. It was a little on the sweeter side though, so would ask for half the syrup next time. Overall, would definitely return for their solid menu items!

You earn that last bite. Honestly deserves a small round of applause. Everything tastes fresh and loaded with real ingredients, not just filler. Every bite actually hits, no weak spots.

And for those planning ahead, Local Cannabis Co is close by, so you can pre game properly before taking on one of these beasts. Highly recommended strategy. Big portions, fresh ingredients, and a solid laugh at how ambitious your order was. Easy 5 stars.
