I highly recommend this sandwich and this deli/bakery for a good quality, yummy sandwich!

I got the chocolate mousse cannollis for $3.25 each but honestly not as good as the ricotta. The chocolate mousse was only cream filling.

The sandwiches are still good, but the experience is not. They have an order ahead option, but even then you have to wait. What's the point of ordering ahead? I'm sitting here right now, 30 minutes after the pre-scheduled pick up time, with no indication when the sandwiches will be ready. 20 minutes ago the guy told me "1 minute". I think if you pre-order, it should be ready at the pre-arranged time. If you're an easy going type who doesn't mind waiting for a long time while having unclear expectations about how long you'll be waiting, the sandwiches are good.

Pizza, salads, sandwiches, burgers and pasta are just some items to name. I had the Bison burger combo and it was cooked perfectly. The burger was fresh with no filler. Fries were fresh cut and crispy (must use long potatoes since these fries were huge!). I still need to try the pizza, which looked fresh and had ingredients a plenty. It lost 1-star due to the price of my meal. Bison burger + fries + drink = $22. A bit steep when not in a sit-down restaurant setting. I shouldn't complain too much though, as the food from the surrounding chains or workplace cafeterias don't come close to the quality and taste.

Upon walking in, we veered right and strolled through the meats and butcher section. Prices were surprisingly reasonable for a boutique grocery, and my friend was very shocked to see so many Latin American goods. We were here for the burgers and we all ordered our share. I (amongst with many others) got the lamb burger. I usually like my burgers with all the fixins (cheese, bacon, pickles) but they would've definitely taken away from the fresh flavour of the lamb. The only thing I really missed was the onions - if I had an opportunity to add them, I definitely missed it, to my misfortune. Food was good for the price, but I was surprisingly not too stuffed after a burger and fries. Oh and the fries - they have great crispy thicc ROSEMARY fries, so definitely opt for those. We'd love to come again someday and get some meat as well - I saw proscuitto for less than $3/100g, which is cheaper than at my loblaws.

Imagine if Banh Mi and Pho had a beef dip baby. It was pretty delicious. The broth was super flavourful. It made me definitely want to come back to try the pho. I also ordered a regular Banh mi to go which was good but I'd probably stick to the more inventive sandwiches. The pork belly one sounds good too. The place only has 2 small tables so take out might be your only option. I was lucky that a couple were leaving just as my order was ready. Really nice hidden gem owned by a mom/daughter team and her boyfriend. They were super nice and told me to call ahead so they could save some pho for me next time I come. Go check them out!

It's run by a wonderful mother, daughter, and boyfriend trio who truly put their hearts into the business. The customer service is phenomenal. Mama and Liza make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in; they were so helpful with recommendations, and Mama even gave my husband some of their homemade cold cuts to try! You can tell everything is made with genuine love and care. The food is on another level: P01 Pho Dac Biet: This is my go-to order. The broth is simmered for hours and it shows--it's packed with flavor and depth. It comes fully loaded with all the best beef toppings: rare beef, tripe, beef balls, tendon, and brisket. S07 Banh Mi Thit Ba Chi: Their roasted pork belly sandwich is a must-try. Since everything is made to order, the bread is perfect and the ingredients are the freshest you can find.

This is a small bakery with a selection of baked goods, breads, pantry and hot table items. On a good day (when dine-in is available), half of the space is filled with tables and there is a small patio area also. Being new to the bakery, I picked up an apple pie and some Portuguese tarts. The apple pie is more like an oversized apple pastry. The pie shell tastes like a shortbread biscuit instead of pie dough. The apple filling is sweet and sugary, with large chunks of pale apples between the open lattice work. A very different pie but good none the less! The Portuguese tarts were also lovely, flakey crisp shells surrounding a golden custard sweetness.

Service was relatively fast despite it being very busy. Team was friendly and knowledgeable. However, the second time i was there, my bun bo hue toke way longer to arrive, the table was halfway done there meals when my bowl finally arrived. A little bit of communication would have been nice, just got the "it's coming" the two times I asked about where it was, no timeline or anything. Spring rolls were kind of bland, no real flavour - however the crunchiness hits the spot. Bun bo hue when it arrives is truly amazing! The perfect amount of spice - makes you sweat a bit without killing you - you can still taste everything you're eating!

The place is quite small and they get busy so expect some crowding. The food was delicious and had exceptional flavour and quality. My partner and I had the Bun Bo Hue (5/5) and the Grilled Pork and Chicken on Broken Rice (5/5). Bun Bo Hue was filled with meat and blood pudding. It was not as spicy as I had hoped it would be but the flavour profile was irresistibly good. Grilled Pork and Chicken on Broken Rice had ample portions of meat. They were tender and juicy. As I mentioned, the place gets busy and packed. We were a group of 8 and I tried to book a reservation a couple of days prior to our visit. To our disappointment, they did not accept reservations at all. The wait time was quite long since we were such a big group. This was quite hectic and stressful for the servers. Hopefully this can be considered in the future for big groups (8 people and above) to make the service smoother.
