Best Viet subs in Calgary run by the most amazing husband and wife team you can meet. It is a sad day when they are heading back home on vacation because it usually means they will be closed for 2 weeks but it makes you want it more!! The satay beef is tender and spicy. The sides are crisp and fresh. The baguette is always fresh soft inside and crisply toasted to perfection. I recommend the duck for that extra flavour explosion. Now lets talk about the service... don't get me wrong, this is a hole in the wall in a really crappy mall you probably didn't know was there but the owners treat the 4 small tables that they have outside in the mall like a 5 star restaurant and always make you feel like a welcome guest. You order and they tell you not to pay until you are finished, they make sure you a have a seat, come and check on you and make sure you had a great meal. I love these guys. One last secret... if you call ahead it will be ready for you 'to go' or if you order a sub for lunch they can also make you one to go and the put the veggies in a small bag so you can toast the bread, meet and cheese and add the fresh veggies after. Masterful. read more

Really wanted to gate keep this but this place has the best Duck banh mi! Comes with hoisin sauce! It's like a Peking duck in a bun! So delicious! Will get it again next time I'm back in town. read more

This is not a banh mi. We ordered the satay beef and it resembled more of a Philly cheese steak than a banh mi. The prices were also very high for the quality of sandwich provided. I also don't mind some Asian banter, it's expected with visiting an Asian establishment, however the employee yelled at my boyfriend and the lady that ordered before us in a way we've never been confronted by when we were being completely cordial and nice read more

Back again... love the subs but have to say the owner makes them the best. I walk by at least 7 different shops to order here. I like her meat better than around the corner. A bit thicker, big pieces tender with a bit of chew. I find the other place their meat is dry and not as much meat. The satay sauce .... W Peanut butter, you know as in real 'satay'? Yep gets me every time. Always fresh bread and veggies. 'Satay beef, no onions no peppers and honey garlic chicken no onions no peppers' I'm coming back ... again! read more

This sandwich was absolutely divine! We ordered Satay Beef & Chicken Sub, it comes with carrot, onions, cilantro, cucumber, and jalapeno peppers. The woman who took our order was very nice and pleasant with a little sense of humor. I'll be back here again read more

Trung Nguyen V-N Sub - Satay Beef & Chicken Sub | Incl carrot, onions, cilantro, cucumber, and jalapeno pepper - Sandwiches Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

The best vietnamese sub that I have ever had. It's a small hole in the wall store- not fancy but the subs here are too good. I got the chicken satay without the peanut sauce because I'm not fond of it.. it comes with other fresh vegetables & cilantro. I had a Vietnamese friend with me who said that this is really up to the mark. If you are a true foodie, you will enjoy a takeout from here. It's not a place to sit and eat. It's in Chinatown. read more

First time ordering from Trung Nguyen and it won't be my last! Scrumptious Vietnamese subs! Ordered Sate Beef Sub & Vietnamese Sausage with cheese and pate add-ons respectively. Both subs are so good. The French baguette is crispy on the outside but soft inside. Lots of pickled vegetables like carrots cucumber, cilantro, onions to complement the sub. read more

Trung Nguyen V-N Sub - two sub sandwiches on a plate - Sandwiches Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

A little cash only, hole in the wall, bang for your buck place to grab viet subs in Chinatown. I have been coming here for a few years now and really enjoy their subs. The bread is perfectly light and crispy and the subs are very affordable. A cold cut sub will run you just about $6.50. I like the cold cut one as well as the beef satay! It is quite spicy however. Every sub comes with onions, jalapeno, cilantro, cucumbers, and pickled carrots so if you don't like any of those, do let the staff know! There are a few tables here for eating but it's more of a to go place. I will continue to return to get my viet sub cravings satisfied! read more

Trung Nguyen is a tiny Vietnamese spot inside the Far East shopping centre. It's in the same centre as Auntie's Chinese Burger. A regular bubble tea costs $5.00. Kind of weird that there's no sign for their bubble tea prices. I came on a Sunday afternoon and was the sole customer. There are a few tables outside where you can eat but I presume most people do a quick grab and go. Trip #1 - Avocado mango ($6.00) - this was my first time so I had to get my go to bubble tea. They charge an extra $1.00 to get a second fruit. The toppings are limited so don't bother asking for grass jelly or other "fancy" toppings. The lady almost freaked out on me (aka. ranting that they don't make any "fancy" drinks) but I let it slide because the drink turned out better than expected. I was pleasantly surprised and vowed to come again. Trip #2 - Assorted (cold cut) banh mi ($5.50) - their banh mi's range from $5.50 to 8.00. I went with the classic assorted cold cut and took this all the way back home to eat for dinner later. Popped it into the toaster oven and it was good as new. They gave me the works and everything was spot on except they were a little heavy handed on the mayo. - Mango bubble tea ($5.00) - I decided to try a regular mango. Originally, I was going to pass on a BBT because one of the workers said they were out of pearls but he checked with one of the ladies and she had a bit leftover. MISTAKE right there. Never get the bottom of the barrel pearls. It wasn't all bad but there was a bunch of pearls that were hard, frozen and just plain gross. The mango also tasted like some type of orange juice was mixed in with it. So I was tasting more of that then the supposedly fresh mango. This place is what it is and by no means am I judging it harshly. It's fast, cheap and perfect if you want banh mi to go but I'm on the fence when it comes to their bubble tea. 3.5 stars. Cash only! read more

My bf and I were flying out of Calgary that day and wanted to grab some subs for the plane. Unfortunately the other place we wanted to try was not open, we opted for this place since it' was close by. All in all I thought it was good but nothing special. I did like that they had onions which is not typical here in Toronto, or at least the places I've tried. They didn't cheap on the filling and meat so that was good. We didn't eat it right away so the bread wasn't as nice and crisp as others here seem to rave about. With that being said, when I'm Calgary again I wouldn't mind dropping by and trying it again but fresh. read more

Thank you for satisfying our craving for your Subs today! Had their Sate Beef & Sate Chicken subs. The meat was nicely spiced with sate, which made for a fantastic sub!! The subs were served warm and the cheese was perfectly melted. Cilantro, carrots, jalapeño, cukes, onions...yum yum yum!! Cash only, service is so friendly!!! read more

Trung Nguyen V-N Sub - Chicken Sate Sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I'm a die hard fan of Thi Thi but I also enjoy the subs at Trung Nguyen. Both places offer similar pricing and subs, but they taste different. I like the sauciness of the assorted sub, how pickled the carrots are, and the lightness of the baguette at Thi Thi. At Trung Nguyen I like the proportion of veggies, meat to bread ratio, the flavour of the sate chicken sub, and the shorter line-up. I picked up some subs for a Sunday afternoon feast and I was impressed with service from the female owner at Trung Nguyen. She told me to call her the next time and she would bring it outside so I wouldn't get a parking ticket. What a sweetie! Now that's service. read more

Possibly the best Vietnamese subs in town! It's a small hole in the wall but you are always served fast and with friendly service. The gentleman that owns it is very friendly and always checks to make sure that you are not allergic to anything. My personal favourite sub is the chicken and beef satay combo. I do find that the chillies are quite hot so I ask for only a few. If you are ever in China town you have to make a stop here for lunch! read more

Hands down my favorite spot for Vietnamese subs. I have tried so many places in an effort to find one closer to home but I can't help but return here every time for their subs. French baguettes are always fresh with that soft center and crisply outside. Toasted with cheese and lots of crisp veggies. Their meats are tender, the peanut satay sauce is thick and a bit spicy - sometimes more so than others lol. I've tried a few different types of their subs but I love LOVE their satay beef. Other members of my fam like the honey garlic and hubby is a no sauce kind of guy. Yes it's a hole in the wall but clean and efficient. Yes the owners can be abrupt at times but they are really the nicest couple and very accommodating. Yes it's cash only. And yes... I will return time and again. You should go ;o) read more

This is a small vietnamese sub shop near the entrance of the Far East Center. They make a great satay chicken/beef combo vietnamese sub. So delicious and spicy. The man and woman who work here are super friendly and remember the orders of the regulars. It can get busy at lunch and has limited seating but you can take your sub to one of the nearby food courts. The only downside to this place is that their drink making machine is really loud. read more

LOVE LOVE this place. Yes it's a hole in the wall and they can be short but they try hard to get people in and out quickly when busy. Wife and hubby team, quite nice if you have a chance to speak to them when it's not busy. And go out of their way to help you - I called to order a bunch of subs, drive over to pick them up but couldn't find parking this time. They ran them outside for me, that's service! Even brought me my change. Never had anything but the freshest ingredients - buns and veggies. Excellent juicy meat (I'm dedicated to beef, hubby chicken). Various Sauces they have are unique, nothing like it anywhere in Calgary. All I can say is. ...You should go. read more

I used to only go to Thi Thi for Viet subs (and I'm boring - I only ever get the assorted) but the long lines at lunch were quite brutal, so I checked out Trung Nguyen one day and seriously has never gone back to Thi Thi. The subs here are just as good (I'm only speaking for the assorted) and I find the service friendlier. read more

Trung Nguyen V-N Sub - two halves of a sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Been coming here for over 7 years and the quality has been just as amazing! I always get the Satay Beef sub and it's a very good deal for a lot of food. Subs range from $5.50 to $7 and $8 for the fancier ones. Haven't tried their newer flavours like buffalo chicken but you cannot go wrong with their classics. Also it's cash only. read more

Perfect, attentive family-style service. The only thing better were the subs! Amazing. Easily beats Thi-thi around the corner. Cash only. read more

BEST BEST BEST subs that i know of, in Calgary and i've tried a number of them! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend! A hidden gem for sure. The veggies are crispy but not sour, great pate sauce on assorted sub and the buns are crispy yet light, fluffy, not heavy, not like others. So fresh! amazing read more

Best Vietnamese subs in town. Careful of the spice - with all the spicy ingredients it gets hot, but is very good no matter how you have it! read more

Sub is ok not as good as Thi Thi. Service is horrible - the owners literally yelled at the girl in front of me for not understanding their awkward English. I would never return to a restaurant that shows no respect to their customers like this one. read more

Best Subs in the City! Satay subs are the best. A variety of off the walls sub choices like ginger beef and club house!
