"Delicious bowl of steaming rare beef pho from two very hardworking female staff. Hit the spot on a rainy damp day. I also wound up buying 4 packs of the frozen version to go! My partner had the lemongrass chicken which was not as flavourful."

"Not fancy, reasonably priced- fast, fresh and delicious. For eat in, take out or delivery, a fantastic spot for authentic Vietnamese food. I say that just having returned from a business trip to Vietnam and while there I was thinking that the food at Saigon Subs, rivalled all of the places that my local colleagues took me for meals. Try the Pork Banh Mi, the Beef Pho or any of the Rice Plates and you won’t regret taking the time to check out this place. Also, in a hurry and want to take away- I tried one of the frozen Pho Kits, I got the Beef Pho Kit and it was super easy to prepare and really, really good. Family owned, super nice, comfortable place for lunch or dinner."

"I bought a sub, a grilled chicken sub, I opened it. It was packed quite heavily with shredded carrots, I’m not a big fan of carrots and the sub the sandwich itself was almost $16. There was not a lot of chicken in it. It was tasty. The sauce is good, but one side of the sub was saturated with some type of liquid making that very soggy. The young lady that served me was very friendly and I blessed her and the business and I do wish that they would do well. I would definitely recommend putting more chicken in toasting the subs and not allowing liquid or water or whatever juice it is to saturate the bun to the point where it’s an appetizing , I didn’t notice cleanliness in the restaurant itself a bag of garbage underneath the sink that type of thing that is an open area and the floor is quite grimy with all that that should be expected in a busy environment often times we overlook those things if food is good Hopefully this will help"
