Best Vietnamese Subs (Banh Mi) in Calgary

Calgary has one of the best banh mi scenes in Canada, anchored by decades-old family shops in Chinatown and a string of Vietnamese delis along International Avenue (17 Ave SE). A great Calgary banh mi means a crackly-then-fluffy baguette, house pate and mayo, pickled daikon and carrot, cilantro and jalapeno, and your pick of sate beef, satay chicken, or cold cuts. This list ranks the spots locals line up for. Prices are low, lines can be long, and several are cash-friendly takeout counters, so call ahead or bring patience.
