Had my fair share of Banh Mi’s nationwide. This has to be the top of my list. I had the special cold cut, protein and spreads are delicious, veg was super fresh and the bread was crisp. If you haven’t gone yet, you’re missing out!! Owners were also super personable and polite.

Credit union day was good! Lady running till sometimes confused but owner/manager corrected her and was very good on the fly to correct any concern. Excellent food!

December 12, 2023

I wish I could give this place ZERO stars if that was an option. Went there at 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon and they only had two items from the menu remaining. So my question is why are you open until 5:00 p.m. when you don't have anything advertised to sell? PATHETIC! The lady at the counter with a nose piercing was extremely rude as well. Will NEVER be returning to this pathetic and sorry excuse of a restaurant. I would recommend others to AVOID this place as well.

★★★★

The food tastes great and service is usually fast. However, I have noticed recently they've started skimping down on the ingredients. I just bought one yesterday and the cucumber spices are thinner and the pork slices were either thinner or there was one less slice. I'm not sure. I love this place but I'd rather a slight price increase than less ingredients even though they have bumped up prices and still less ingredients.

Stopped by for a quick lunch while running errands in the area. We weren’t expecting much, since it looked like an unassuming place. Long story short, we went back within a few hours for second sandwiches, because it was so good. Great flavours for a great price.

I got their grilled pork to go and they were wonderful. A little more sauce I feel would blow it out of the waters for me, but overall, really good, plenty enough for a person per order, and for a really great price as well. Definitely a place to try!

December 23, 2022

Not very nice owner ! Used to be a go to place for me since it opened years ago I was one of the first customers , maybe it s because I don t go so often any more but I have never had such bad service and felt so rushed , and then they reply to say maybe the place isn t for me ! No clue why I went there for numerous years and stopping now for life due to how I was treated today

I can only speak to the vegetarian banh mí. The two adjectives that come to mind to best describe the taste, are tangy and waxy. Whatever ingredient is pickled, is really tangy, borderline sour. The peanuts in the sub give you a waxy feeling on your tongue. Priced at $9 a sandwich, there really isn t good value for dollar here. I have tried many other vegetarian/vegan banh mí across this continent and unfortunately this one comes in second last. Only because they do include tofu in the sandwich, which saved it from last place. Vegetarian options: The vegetarian sub contains tofu.

In this past week alone, ive visited Frankys on more than one occasion. I look forward to when theyre open for business so that im able to get my hands on one of their tasty pork subs. The freshness of the cilantro, pickled carrots and cucumbers with a touch of peanuts on soft yet crisp French bread elevate their banh mis. I wish their hours of operation werent so limited so I could get satisfy my cravings for their banh mis more often! The staff are always so friendly and quick to which make this a great pit stop for lunch or a quick snack.

Ordered from UberEats, and its not as good as the ones you can buy from the Ann Ann market downtown. However, considering Buns House doesnt deliver through uber this isnt a bad alternative. The bread isnt as flavorful in my opinion its kinda bland but it still holds the soft but crunchy bread youd expect from a Vietnamese sub. Standard options pickled carrots, cucumber, and cilantro with your choice of meat. Beef, pork, or chicken. Can add pate too. $9 a sub $25 was the total delivery fee other fees ect if money is something you want to consider.

Best sandwich in town. Family run. Really fast, friendly service. They ve perfected what they do by keeping the menu small and focused. A small store with no seating helps keep the price down. Value for money here is astounding. We need more places like this, serving essentially one item, and making that item a masterpiece.

There is something special about grabbing a Bahn Mi from Frankys. It is a unique dining experience in Saskatoon that combines well balanced flavours with consistent delivery. Pop in, order, you have a sandwich to take out in 5 to 8 minutes usually. As a vegetarian, I get the tofu Bahn mi. Its great. Good flavor profile from the pickled carrots, cabbage, jalapeno, sweet and spicy sauces, deep fried tofu, and crisp french roll. Oh, and the peanuts really make it. Solid takeout at a reasonable price.

Im addicted to these sandwiches, specially their chicken one. I tend to go a couple times a week (at least lately) and love it each time. They have pork and beef as well. The juicy-ness of all three is really good and you can add peanuts, cilantro (gross :P), jalapeños, shredded carrots and cucumbers (longly sliced) to your sandwiches as you so choose. They also have hot sauce there (brand name is escaping me however) for you to add if you want. They have a daily special of a sandwich and a pop for 7$. Their wonton soup broth is superb though! Some of the best Ive ever tasted! I highly recommend getting a bowl of wonton soup from these guys at least! Overall, check these guys out for a good and affordable lunch or supper! They take cards as well as cash.

The blonde girl who made our subs was very rude when I asked where the nearest bathroom was. As we were traveling from out of town. She replied with I dont know the mall. Where does she go to the bathroom? She continued to glare at us and didnt even respond to me thanking her. I am vietnamese and these subs were alright the beef one is better then the chicken sub (looked like boiled meat) close to authentic banh mi but not quite there yet. I wouldnt go here again because of that womans attitude and rude behavior.
