Viet Sub

I normally love banh mi (Vietnamese subs) and hearing how good their location on the other end of Robson was, I couldn’t wait to try it out.
I walk past this location often, and I noted that it is usually empty, when other restaurants on the street are full. They were empty when I walked in Sunday afternoon.
I ordered the «Chicken sub» ($ 4.75 total) to go, hoping for a juicy portion of lemongrass chicken in it. The chicken was a mix of shredded white & dark meat, completely dry and flavourless, the whole thing just sucked all the moisture out of my mouth! I had to find some sauce to dip it in it was that bad. And all the chicken was balled up on one side. The pluses were a generous portion of pickled veggies, and a fresh baguette that was perfectly crispy and just a bit chewy, but that was it. I wouldn’t ever order it again.
On their window they advertise all the ingredients that go into their subs, and I realized after I got home that I was never offered any jalapenos or an option to make it spicy. I’m sad this was so disappointing, I haven’t tried anything else yet but perhaps their other menu items might be better.
Excuse me while I go down a huge glass of water to quench my dry mouth now.

The phở is amazing. The broth is so flavourful. Really cute little place with great service!
We each had a bowl of rare beef and beef ball phở, shared a sandwich and a spring roll. The bread is perfect. Fresh and perfectly crunchy.
I would’ve given 5 stars but I had to take one away for the Vietnamese coffee. For $ 4 I expected a decent sized coffee. We got it iced and it came out in a 16oz cup, full of ice, with about 2 oz of coffee. Actually. I had one small sip and it was gone. Delicious. But terrible value there. My only other complaint would be that the broth could be a little bit hotter. Other than great, great place that’s super close to home. I’ll be back, probably tomorrow.

First!!! And also First to create this location! After researching and looking this place up and coudln’t find anything on them, I was actually looking at their first and original location also on Robson.
This place had just opened recently. On their front door they only just opened on 01÷02÷16! Randomly was walking down the street and I when I saw the sign VietSub, made me think to myself that I hadn’t had a bahn mi in a very long time. Who knew that this place was brand new too! Lucky me I suppose.
I ordered B5 which was the Special Sub (Ham, Cold cut pork and meat balls) The bahn mi came relatively quick and it was a good size sandwich! The toast was toasted perfectly to a nice crunch and had a nice warmth with the ingredients as all the ingredients were hot and fresh. They also gave me on the side spicy sriacha mayo if I wanted to add some to my sandwhich myself. The sandwich was pretty stuffed with all the things that they mentioned. I wished it was more stuffed tho.
Waiters were very friendly when greeted at the door. They give free hot tea with your meal. The décor is quite modern but average and overall decent size in sitting space with a good size to fit around 20 people or so.
They didn’t have any Vietnamese Coffee ready to make at the time which was a bummer, but overall bahn mi’s are pretty delicious. Gonna come back and try more
