    The fried chicken sandwich with mango salsa
    Veronica V.

    We popped in for a sandwich on the way home. The hubby had their grilled cheese with roast beef. He said it was good, but he would have preferred more cheese, less beef. I had their fried chicken special with mango salsa. It was very awkward to eat ( the salsa was in very large chunks), but wow, the flavours were really excellent.

    BEST SPECIALTY SANDWICHES! About $15/sandwich This is my 3rd time here, so I had to write a review. We usually get whatever is featured on their menu sign, and today it was: Singaporean Style Crispy Chicken: Strong coconut flavour, with a refreshing cucumber slaw and chili sauce for the perfect punch. I loved the crunchy peanuts inside and big juicy piece of chicken. Very unique and lovely flavour combination. Grilled Cheese du Jour (their daily grilled cheese): today was pesto artichoke with Havarti and roma tomatoes. Perfectly pressed on the panini, every bite had a good portion and mix of cheese and artichoke. Just super gooey and delicious especially hot off the panini grill. The ginger ale was also super good, very ginger-y for sure (if you're into that) It does get super stuffy inside, there's a few bar seats by the window but the circulation is pretty bad with an open kitchen. We usually sit outside (there's 3-4 tables, with a large umbrella overtop). Great in the summers or if you're grabbing takeout. I'd recommend eating it right away though! Also, super super friendly staff, they give good recommendations, and are very nice. Pretty quick serving too. Nothing fancy, just a good solid little shop that does what they do very well. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    Lamb grilled cheese was awesome, chicken chowder was good but not thick enough. Two gentleman working were awesome! Cool spot tiny limited seating and intimate exactly what you want when you're exploring alone!

    Craving a sandwich with quality, fresh ingredients? 100% Deliciousness awaits you right here. In-house, bread baked daily is really the initial catalyst for your flavour experience. I've had the Rueben and the Spicy Lemon Rosemary Chicken, looking forward to their Breakfast Sandwich next. Staff are friendly and willing to answer questions, despite moving at a literally break neck speed to produce these handhelds. There has always been a line up but it moves fast. Its also heckin hot in there on warm days, so mill about outside whilst you wait for your order.

    Here in Vancouver for a work trip, and stopped for a late lunch. Located at 1308 Burrard St in Davie Village, this is a small, fast-casual local gem. Sandwiches, salads, and pastry are house-made with a focus on nearby farms and suppliers. Specials are listed on a board outside the door, so take a look before you go in. We were too late for the (what sounded fantastic) grilled cheese daily special, but all other specials and daily soup were available. The friendly staff obliged and offered menu guidance. As we waited for our meal, passers-by waved through the window and another patron shared "current" favorite is the falafel sandwich or the grilled veggie sando. In previous years, the Rueben and lemon chicken. And taste a bit of history: the dough "culture", from which sandwich bread and calzone dough is made, has been nurtured and fed for over 10 years, and when you bite into that sandwich (or calzone), you can taste the love that has sustained this place for years. The lemon rosemary roasted chicken is a signature item, but with our excellent meal experience, I'd say get whatever sounds good. I asked some patrons - self-reported frequenters. Plan for takeout or come at an "off" time to enjoy the limited seating inside and a few sidewalk tables. We tried the corn chowder, lemon rosemary chicken salad, side of macaroni and cheese, and the meatball sandwich. All were terrific!

    Reuben sandwich with pickle
    Stephen H.

    Today was my second visit here; the first being about three years ago. They have expanded their menu and you can go to their Instagram page to see a picture of their specials board every day. I didn't get the special, though it sounded amazing; I got the Reuben sandwich. The bread is made there and the food is incredible. Was there just before noon and there were quite a few people coming in for lunch. Still quick service though. i'm really glad these folks made it through the pandemic and look to be going strong.

    The owner tells me they make their own bread, pickles, mustard basically everything from scratch! I came in here because it was the most Yelped place in Vancouver and wanted to try it out after walking by without knowing about it all these years. This is a cute little space with a counter and a few bistro tables outside. As most of the restaurant is the kitchen, that is what takes up most of the space. I came here for the Rueben and it was amazing.

    Looks Yummilicious

    After having heard from my boss that this small shop just front of Maxine's on Burrard makes the best sandwich, I didn't hesitate to try it today. There were three nice guys working and a guy asked what do I want. " I said what's the best seller here? He said the spicy lemon rosemary chicken. " And yes, it didn't disappointed me... I loved it and perhaps come again soon to try other stuff.

    Not sure if it's because I'm American but the workers are friendly, helpful, and the food has good flavors! Good place to get a quick, casual bite

    What makes a sub/sandwich perfect ? Based on my little foodie experience I believe the key to a great ( not just good) sandwich is the bread : it should not be a brioche bun neither a french baguette , it got to be a mix of both, something in between the two kinds. This little lovely shop got the perfect solution for such an equation : one of the best sandwich bread I have ever tried in Canada ! Also it goes without saying that the rest of the ingredients are amazingly fresh and tasty with a mix of flavorful sauces and melted cheese. I am now regretting only trying the beef dip ( Friday's special) as I should have got at least the chicken one as well. Oh yeah and they make their own pastries! i got the Cookie & Cream and obviously expected average experience from a pastry baked in a sandwich shop, but guess what : it was epic !! Probably better than most pastry shops around town!! Unfortunately since COVID they removed pizza option from menu to handle the costs! Forgot to mention that the owner ( who is also the sandwiche's chef) is a great welcoming man . Long story short this place is bomb! Definetely coming back

    BLT with aioli

    I'm visiting Vancouver, from California. This was THE BEST BLT I've ever had. The bread was so soft and delicious. I added aioli to it too. THE BEST!

    Over 80 reviews and 5 star rating? I had to check it out. And then I ended up going 3 times last week and twice this week. This is what I've tried so far (in the order from my most favourite to least favourite): - Spicy lemon rosemary chicken sandwich ($10.50): love the pickled jalapenos. - Reuben sandwich ($11): lots of meat piled high, comes with a super crunchy house-made pickle. - Roasted vegetable salad ($9.50): the olive tapenade spread is so good!! - Meatloaf sandwich ($11): meatloaf warmed up in a pan, otherwise nothing special in my opinion. Sauce is a bit salty. Large enough portion for me to split this into 2 meals. - Curry quinoa salad ($3): a nice snack, although I am not a fan of onions and peppers. - Fettuccine Alfredo with smoked meat (daily take-home feature) ($10): a pretty heavy meal, mostly consisted of pasta, not much smoked meat or tomatoes. On the plus side I had this for 3 separate meals. I now carry around their menu so that I can call ahead to place my order. Yes, I'm that addicted. It's also nice that they offer a stamp card - after your 10th stamp, your next sandwich is free. Most of their sandwiches can also be made into a salad, except for the reuben and meatloaf, which is a great alternative. But then I'd be missing out on the bread that's made fresh daily. I'd love to give them 5 stars but as I do think their food is a bit more on the pricey side, I'll have to settle for a 4. Service is always welcoming and friendly. I've noticed they know a lot of their regulars by name and order. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking it out at least once. One day I'll try their daily feature sandwich!

    Delicious sandwich of generous portion! I ordered the…read moreItaliana which comes with prosciutto crudo, prosciutto cotto, stracciatella cheese, truffle spread and arugula. The taste of the fillings was very well balanced with nothing being overpowering. I could taste every single ingredient yet they went together very well! I particularly liked the stracciatella cheese. It added a fluffy and soft texture to the sandwich. The shop was small, cozy and well decorated. There were some available seats when I was there at around 1:30pm. There was no line as the peak lunch hour had passed. They made my sandwich immediately so I didn't have to wait at all.

    First time I tried Dante's sandwich. Finally I had a chance to visit here…read more What we had: italiana - prosciutto crudo, prosciutto cotto, stracciatella cheese, truffle spread, arugula Monte cristo - prosciutto cotto, provolone, sundried tomato spread. Italiana was so good. Double Prosciutto!! Truffle flavor was strong and paired with stracciatella cheese. What a great combination! And Arugula was very fresh. Foccacia was very crispy outside and soft inside. One of the best sandwich. I will order again. Monte cristo was also good. Grilled bread was very crispy and nicely pressed. Provolone and prosciutto cotto combination was great, too. Sundried totamto provided great accent. I will order this one again, too. Overall, it was a great sandwich shop. Highly recommend.

    I've passed Tokyo Katsu-Sand so many times when I'm on the Granville Mall downtown…read more Never really gave it any attention until I saw an IG post from an influencer who was visiting Vancouver from out of town. https://youtu.be/GDP_uBsvH6g She highly recommended the fish sandwich or Fish-Katsu. Gosh it absolutely did not disappoint & I should have ordered another one! The taste of this sandwich was so delicious, I couldn't chew it fast enough. The cabbage, tartar sauce & fish-katsu sauce are delightful together. This food truck is located right at Canada Line subway station - Vancouver Centre Station - main entrance on Georgia at Granville. You'll notice it when you come up the escalator & turn right onto the Granville Mall. Basically it's right near Nordstrom. I don't know if I'll bother with the other sandwich options cause I just love the Fish-Katsu that much. It's a very small simple sandwich. Nothing really fancy to it at all, but the taste utterly rocks. So glad I tried it & I can't wait to go back!

    I always wanted to try Tokyo Katsu-Sand. They showed up at the BCIT Food Truck Festival. The first…read moretime I saw them around was at the Taiwanese Bubble Tea festival. I got the gyu-katsu sandwich. I found the sandwich a bit small and for the price, it was pretty expensive. $16 after tax. Don't get me wrong. It was tasty. I found it nothing wow. The beef was cut in a certain way that it remained as one piece to make it easier to season. The gyu katsu is their more popular sandwich. However, it doesn't come with any lettuce or anything other than the beef and sauce. The bread was nothing special. It was basically thin regular bread. It does take them about 10 mins to make the sandwich. In terms of the way they serve it, it was presented to me nicely and the box was made to perfectly fit the sando inside. Not a bad sandwich but it was just pretty pricy.
