I use to love this place...the marinated vegs and banh mi was perfect/the best.
Then they changed something, and I always thought, "meh". Banh Mi Saigon is better.
But I'll go back to tung hing this week for memory lane sake

Has anyone been to the place beside Tung Hing? (I forget the name, but it's in the same complex.) Word on the street is they're comparable, but Tung Hing has the upper hand for consistency.

Bahn Mi Saigon (more like 38th and Vic) doesn't toast their bread ... which I find a tad strange, I prefer the warm toasted style.

^ ^ ^
Saigon is more of a dense, loaf style whereas Tung Hing is more towards the traditional crusty baguette.
Wonder if the owner owns the entire lot. Either going to be some hipster joint or housing. I didn't ask further but I wonder how much rent increase did the landlord want.

And last 3 times I went there I tried to get a meatball sub and was told they were out. I asked if I needed to come earlier or later in the day and I couldn't get an answer.
Kim Chau a block east seems alright.
I really miss the place at Fraser and 17th. I know it was a long time ago but $2, stuff with meat and veg, I ate one and was full instead of the $5 ones today which I need to eat 3 of

Tried it today. Every sub is $5+ but there's 10% off for I don't know how long. The siu mai one actually has meatballs like Bu Dien used to. They're small meatballs but he loaded them up and then added a couple scoops of the sauce.

I found the last couple years Tung Hing quality went down. They skimped out on the filling. Saigon stacks it and I actually prefer their bread.. as it doesnt cut my mouth while I try to eat it lol
