Thi Thi Vietnamese Subs

I haven’t been here for years as the last time was terrible. The bread was not crisp and day old, beef portion was small, not toasted enough. The details is where this falls down. Don’t get this confused with the original Thi Thi which is out of this world go to Chinatown and get the real deal.
The subs here are poor.

Good subs at a great price. Easy place for a quick lunch. No frills. Cash only.

My father — In — law took me to this place, never had a vietnamese sub, been to a couple other places since. They do not compare to this wonderful place. The family running the place are very nice, fresh sub buns meat is so tasty, the line is worth the wait bring your cash. Just a great vietnamese sub place in calgary

I was in here the other day. Its always dead whenever I stop by, and the reason is because its no good. They are stealing the Thi Thi name and trying to cash in off that family in chinatown’s work. Go by the harry-​hayes building at the right time if you are looking for authentic THI THI best in the city subs.

Vietnamese subs have traditionally been kinda boring for me… until now. Simply sensational. I had the sate beef. Its not a small sub, it will fill you up well. I think it could be one of the best sandwiches for your money in Calgary. The venue is surprisingly clean and the owner is very friendly. Giving this place 5 because he added fresh chilies!

11:30am I decided to line up with the other 15 people and try out what the hype is all about. I often drive-​by and see a long lineup.
Can’t say I thought the subs were amazing, but they were good. I gotta give them credit for the cleanliness, he changes (and throws out) gloves whenever he switches from taking cash to touching anything other than the food. You don’t expect that in Chinatown. The Family run business is cute and clean. The father, who is making the sub is very friendly and is very proud of his business.
His smile made me want to take pictures and help promote their business lol
Despite the long lineup forming behind me, he took his phone out to share with me a photo of him and his family with Mayor Nenshi buying a sub. Worth a try!

This is definitely my go-​to place whenever I’m craving a Vietnamese sub for lunch! My current favorite is Sate Beef on brown with everything on it.
The staff is always friendly and fast and the price is reasonable.

Nice little spot and it will do in a pinch if you are in the area. I had the chicken sate sub and it was good — not dry as others have mentioned but I do agree the meat itself could have more flavour. I also wish they had a pork option as I find pork in general to be more flavorful. They HAVE added soup and salad rolls to the menu though for those people who were looking for them. Maybe they read Unilocal?
I did find their menus confusing at first glance. They have a Vietnamese menu and an English menu but they are both picture based and essentially the same. so why not have one menu? It left me wondering if I ordered of the English menu,. was I missing out of some really cool ingredient I’d receive had I ordered it by Vietnamese name.
Also, while I get they are a small independent place, cash only? Sorry but that does put them at a disadvantage as many people don’t carry cash these days. I know I would have tried them sooner if they didn’t have cash only signs up. That being said, the service was fast and friendly — cards might slow that down.
All in all not a bad place to stop into.

While in theory this is the same Thi Thi as in Chinatown (across from the Harry Hays building), my tastebuds say different. The meat seems drier. They DO have the cheese that is lacking on many Vietnamese subs in town, but I believe they only run it through the toaster once vs. twice at the Harry Hays location (meltier cheese, crispier bun). Plus, the Harry Hays folks seem to have a lot more love… which you can actually taste in the sub. Go here in a pinch, otherwise put in the effort to get to the original hole-​in-​the-​wall in Chinatown.

Been here a few times now and they’re OK. Not great, not awful.
Service is quick, food is average. Service is marginal (they always seem a little confused) and selection is limited.
Things to improve. Need to bump up the flavor of their meat, it tends to be bland. Also, add to the menu, in particular springrolls and soup!

Great subs, great prices. I love stopping here for lunch.

The satay beef sub is divine. Get it fully dressed with hot peppers, and make sure they remember to include cilantro. Smashing.
