Ordered a banh mi here for the first time and it missed the mark. Instead of a balanced mix of pickled vegetables and thinly sliced meat, this was dominated by chopped white onions with large, unsliced chunks of meat -- more of an onion sandwich than a banh mi. One of the worst versions I've had. Skip this place. read more

I tried the kimchee tofu bahn mi. It was absolutely yummy. The bread was chewy and slightly crispy on the outside. Just enough picked veggies on the inside. The place is small and because we stayed close, I got it to go. I would def get this again. read more

Hearty and quick service! Viet Sub is a popular place for workday lunch. Their price is very reasonable. I tried their BBQ Sub and it's filled with well marinated meat and pickles. The pickles tasted a bit gingery. The baguette is on the softer side. It's a good for those who always hurt the top of their mouth when having banh mi lol. The place is very small and crowded when there're people waiting for their takeout but I'd love to try trying their noodles in their restaurant next time! read more

Really good bahn mi sandwiches! Nice flakey crunch of the baguette bread. Perfect to take on-the-go. We had ordered a few to bring for a park day. And what a great decision that was! Delicious sandwich after a nice stroll in the park. :) read more

Viet Sub - Bahn mi sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Viet Sub is one of my must go stops anytime I'm in Vancouver! The staff are so friendly and helpful. Though small, there's enough room for about 6 people to sit inside to eat, with some seating outside as well. Their subs travel well so I often get Number 5 to go and eat on the go! read more

Got the Vietnamese sub (B1) and chicken salad roll -- both were fresh and packed with flavor. The bread was crisp, the chicken was juicy, and the salad roll was light and refreshing. Service was great and super friendly. I've been coming here for years, but today I finally decided to leave a review. Easily one of the best Vietnamese subs in Vancouver. Highly recommend. read more

Had a man following me and the staff helped me out the entire time. They let me stay in the store even after closing hours until he left. The sandwich was also very good. This place is definitely worth it. Great staff, great food! read more

I stopped by Viet Sub after walking by dozens of times. I got the special Bahn Mi for a reasonable $8.95. The restaurant is s and cozy, and seems very geared towards take out. The sandwich was promptly served up and well packaged. The meat was warm and flavourful while the vegetables were crisp and just the right amount of tart. The only thing that makes me hesitate giving 5 stars is the bread. Although good, it was far softer than I like in a Bahn Mi which took away from the overall texture. read more

Hole in the wall super casual. Think topdog if you have one in your neighborhood. Bar seating. Inside its only big enough for 5 adults, no strollers, no luggage. Food: $8 usa bun mi and $8usa cha gio. Their menu item names are a little different from san jose terminology. Fair portions for the price. The nearby neighborhood is a lot more expensive. Friendly service. As if you're their regular but you are just in vacation being there for the first time. read more

Viet Sub on Robson St downtown, absolutely delivers via delicious subs! My go to is the Lemongrass Chicken Sub. It's made quick, with an appetizing appearance & most of all - tastes super fresh. There's nothing fancy about sitting in here but that's not why I come here. The quality is supreme & that's all I want in a quick lunch time bite. I missed out on Vietnamese history way back in the day. I did not realize that the French ruled over Vietnam at one time. Hence the awesome fresh baguettes, used at Vietnamese restaurants. I will definitely be trying out other menu items over the next few months - stay tuned. This particular block of Robson St will probably be razed to the ground at some point to make way for a high rise. I hope when that happens that Viet Sub opens up somewhere close by, cause this spot is easy to get to & very central. If you're tired of Subway, give Viet Sub a try. Oh & Viet Sub truly has the freshest cup of water in the downtown core! read more

Love me some Banh Mi! This place is legit a little "hole in wall" in the middle of hustle and bustle downtown Vancouver right on busy Robson Street. If you're looking for a quick and yummy bite this is the place, service is super friendly and fast and the food is fresh made to order. My husband introduced me to this place, a regular when he worked downtown. I've had several of their banh mi and spring rolls. Fresh ingredients and very tasty. read more

Viet Sub is my go-to spot for bánh mì. While I'm not an expert on authentic Vietnamese flavors, I really enjoy their food--there's a great variety to choose from, and everything is packed with flavor. The place is quite small, but the staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive, even stepping outside the counter to hand over takeout orders. I'd definitely recommend anyone in the area to give this place a try. read more

Hole in the wall with only room for maybe 6 people inside and it's tight seating. The staff was very friendly and caring. There's not much I can say about the veggie sub other than it absolutely hit the spot. Very fresh and tasty. I like that their bread isn't too crunchy. And it's a great deal! This is not the place to go for ambiance but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for a simple straightforward banh mi. read more

Viet Sub - Veggie Sub - Vietnamese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I love this place, speaking as a Vietnamese person. For me, it's the perfect pre-concert food because of its proximity to all the venues nearby and the banh mis are light and satiating. It's quite small but is almost always busy whenever I've visited. Very limited seating but it's quiet. The staff is very friendly and nice. I have noticed that their banh mi has gotten a bit smaller but it's still very filling. I've always gotten the chicken banh mi and I plan to diversify my order in the future. It's never not been up to par, which is why I keep going back. Their chicken recipe changed the last time I came, with a slight taste of maggi. It's so reminiscent of Vietnam and I really enjoyed it. I've taken my mum and sister here and they've liked it as well. read more

Great quality food. The banh mi is very delicious and always has fresh ingredients. It's a pretty small place so it has very limited seatings. The staff is very kind and friendly. I highly recommend this place! read more

Great banh mi shop, and pretty similar to the good ones down in Southern California. I liked their house special sandwich and the bread had great combo of crispy outer texture and soft interior with lots of the pickled veggies. Great value and delicious! read more

I normally don't frequent the downtown area but due to some errands, my dad and I found ourselves wandering around for a quick bite. Do not be fooled by the appearance of this small shop, their subs pack a PUNCH and for a great deal as well. I've seen subs go up to as much as almost $14 in some places so when I stepped up and ordered a $7-8 sub it was refreshing to say the least. I had the chance to try the chicken sub and house special sub. Both were good - crunchy baguette, ginormous portions of pickled daikon and carrots (my absolute favourite!!!!) and decent amounts of meat underneath. The house special features a whole selection of meats- I tasted meatball mix, Vietnamese ham and even regular pork pieces as well...They do not miss on packing the subs full! This is definitely not the best sub I've ever had but for what it is and what it costs, I am happy with it for sure. The shop features a few small spots for dine in, but it seems like the grand majority swing by for take out. It also seems like they have a lot of loyal regulars which is amazing to see! During times like these, it's always great to show continued support for small businesses. Although there wasn't much need for service, the man at the counter was really nice and even brought water over to our little table when he served us the food. I would 100% return when I'm in the area and looking for a quick bite. read more

Been here a few times already and I can't get enough! Taste 1/1* Their subs don't taste like the traditional that I'm used to, and normally not a fan of the cold cut subs, but man do they knock 'em out of the park Lemon chicken subs by far my fav Value 1/1* Sizes of the subs are closer to a 6" subways sun, but at $7 it's worth it! Service 1/1* Fast and friendly with a smile Cleanliness 0.5/1* Searing area be cleaner Overall/Revisit 1/1* Would definitely return for 4th, 5th and more times Paying for ambience?

Viet Sub - Front - Vietnamese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Hole in the wall venue. Limited seats, probably can seat 6ppl comfortably inside, 4 more outside. It's a place to grab and go. Friendly service, it was full inside, I took a seat outside and they brought my order out. It was delicious, I had the cold cut banh mi, baguette was light and crunchy, crunchy pickled carrot and daikon, good portion on the meat, tasty sweet and tanguy sauce. It hit the spot, it's convenient. Recommended if you are looking for a quick lunch but nothing fancy. read more

Viet Sub - Cold cut - Vietnamese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This place was all right. Crowded at lunch during the week (pre-COVID, just before the lockdowns started). We ordered: - BBQ banh mi (not much meat) - Bun substitute salad, spring roll, chicken Prices are inexpensive; quality was... commensurate. Bottom line: I was attracted to this place because of the cheap prices. They delivered on that. But what you get at this price is not stellar. It was fair. read more

Great food, great price! Would recommend for takeout as it's tiny and not much seating or ambiance.

Got here before the lunch crowd. Ordered the B7, bbq sub with chicken, beef, pork and meat ball. It was savory and tasty with the freshest ingredients. This place is a little small with limited seating but it is located in the downtown area. read more

No frills sub and rice plate spot. It's fast and pretty affordable. The only thing I have to say is that the banh mi actually can be a little lacking in terms of what's in it and the bread used. The bread is kind of chewy instead of crunchy, and it doesn't help that the banh mi actually doesn't fill out so you have a lot of this chewy bread left on your hands. read more

Classic Vietnamese subs with pork pâté, crunchy veggies on a fresh baguette. Can't beat the taste and price. Quick lunch option, friendly owners. Loved the summer combos when they had Vietnamese iced coffee / bahn mi sandwiches. read more

I ordered shrimp salad roll and chicken salad roll (total was $6~) for a quick pre-class meal. It was during dinner time but it wasn't as busy, and I was glad my order was served quickly. I often have special requests for my salad rolls and I'm glad they were able to follow my picky choices! The space is small but they do have a couple of bar seats so you can have your pho for dine-in. I'll definitely come back here for some cheap pre-class meal! read more

This place is rock solid. The little French baguette/rolls they use are perfect. I tried the Vietnamese Ham sub and the Special sun. All of the meats were delicious and all of the veg was fresh and well seasoned. Def a great place that I would come back to. read more

Aloha; I am addicted to great pho and many places I have been are not that great. If you know me you know I have my favorite spot in honolulu, BUT WOW I can say this place has great soup base for its PHO and wonton soup. I was so amazed. If your in the area you have to try it. read more

We were in Vancouver and went here 3 times, so it's safe to say this place is worth it! We got the lemongrass chicken sub and the veggie sub as well as the well done beef noodle soup. All were delicious, just perfect. The French bread they use is worth the price of admission alone, I think I might move to Vancouver just so I can keep going here!! There are just a few stools at a bar top inside and some seating outside as well. read more

During my visit to Vancouver, I stumbled upon this place searching for somewhere to eat for lunch. My mom and I decided to try this place because my mom loves banh mi and we were getting hungry. The workers were very friendly, and food came out fast. I got the meatball banh mi, it was so delicious! The meat was flavorful and the vegetables were refreshing. My mom got the spring rolls, which were hot, crispy, and flavorful. We liked it so much that on our last day of the trip, we decided to order different dishes to go. This time, I decided to try one of the rice plates. I got the lemongrass chicken and the chicken was so juicy and tender and flavorful! Coming from the Bay Area, I have to say this was one of the best banh mi I've had. read more

It's hard to do this because most Vietnamese restaurants make delicious food. This was so-so. It wasn't horrible but for Robson street I expected it to explode with flavour. The daikon and carrot was chopped in large stocks which didn't mesh well with the whole sub. The meat was basic and the mayo slapped on it was messy and the sandwich didn't have enough cilantro. Their are too many good places to ever order from here again so I probably won't go back. I ordered the through Uber eats so it was delivered in a timely manner. read more

If you are craving for some banh mi and pho noodles takeout, you have come to the right place. This place has very few seating, but the price is great, the service is nice and the food is decent. We got chicken banh mi on our way to Lynn Creek. Enjoyed it in the forest and when we came back, I was craving for pho noodles, and we got beef ball noodle pho togo. The flavor is nice for both. Not too overwhelming and pretty refreshing for both banh mi and noodle soup. I even drank all the noodle broth. If you are looking for a proper place to sit down and eat, this might not be the best place. But if you just want to do Vietnamese takeout and enjoy it in your hotel while watching TV. This is the spot. read more

Saw the 4 star rating and ran with it.... My mistake, should have read the reviews. Apparently they're bahn mi is good, however I went with pho and spring rolls. SMH. The worst! First of all, I rarely ever order takeout or delivery because of the wasteful containers that come with that, so I choose to eat in. I ordered the pho ($10 and super small portion) it comes in a styrofoam bowl, wooden chopsticks and a plastic spoon. Also ordered spring rolls. (The smallest spring rolls I've ever seen, also over fried) they served it on a styrofoam container lid. They cut the lid off the takeout container and used it as a plate!! And the fish sauce for the spring roll is also in a plastic container... WTF!! Definitely not coming back here! Wasteful!! Literally!! read more

The subs were really good!! The bread was amazing! Fresh ingredients and lots of flavor.

You know the place is authentic when a) nobody inside speaks proper English, b) the store reeks of fish sauce, and c) the place is diiirty. Haven't seen anything like this in a LONG time. Prices are a bit high, but it IS downtown after all. Sandwiches are some $3.75. The rice dishes are much more reasonable, at around $7. Outside are a couple of plastic tables and chairs. My only complaint is that it's not ghetto enough. In Vietnam, everyone sits in dirty kid-sized chairs, with kid-sized tables. It took away from the experience a bit. The sandwich (banh mi) I had tasted mostly authentic, but was off. Mainly due to the lack of jalepenos, and some local ham instead of the Vietnamese variety. I will definitely be back. read more

Yes yes yes yes yes - best Banh Mi I've had thus far! I love a small family run resto like this one. There are only a few seats in the shop and two people behind the counter. My bf had told me about these Banh Mis for awhile and he said they were delicious but boy they exceeded expectations. THIS is where you get a proper French roll! The bread is so large and fresh on the inside crispy on the outside! And let me rave about the mayo on the table, what is in it?!? I will never know but hot damn it's delicious, I put it all over my sandwich then on top of every bite along with the piping on chilies on the table! Huge huge fan of this place. And it's only $5.75!! Next time I'll have to try the pho! I'm usually pho obsessed and only get pho at Vietnamese joints but tonight I opted for the Banh mi! Happy I did. If you work in the downtown core, go here!!! read more

Viet Sub - Chicken Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I ordered the shrimp salad roll and Vietnamese ham sub ($9) which came with a sweet peanut dip. The shrimp salad rolls we're bigger than I expected for the price, and the shrimp didn't seem fake; They were pretty bland tasting. The sandwich tasted much better than the rolls though, since there was alot more veggie variety packed in. The cilantro and carrots were nice, but the pickled radish was my favorite part. The ham inside was also pretty good, and the bun tasted pretty fresh and surprisingly crispy. They brought the food out to me which was a nice service plus, and the restaraunt looked relatively clean up front. The cheap price and filling meal was good, but I did feel a bit sick after eating the meat, so it made me a little weary of how fresh it was. Would probably try something else on the menu again for the low prices and a second chance, but there's so many options in the area, and this place didn't grab too much of my attention. read more
