Our Story – Saigon Deli, Vietnamese Deli in Forest Lawn Calgary

See Testimonials

01
Welcome to Saigon Deli, a small, family-run Vietnamese deli in Calgary's Forest Lawn neighbourhood. For years we've focused on doing a few things exceptionally well—fresh baguettes, generous fillings, and the bright, classic flavours that keep our southeast Calgary regulars coming back. Right along the International Avenue corridor on 8 Ave SE, we serve some of the city's favourite banh mi subs at very affordable prices.
02
Our menu is compact and efficient, featuring around ten Vietnamese sub varieties along with the occasional Vietnamese dessert. The House Special, Satay Beef, BBQ Pork, Chicken, Cold Cuts, and Tofu Veggie subs are each built on a soft-yet-crisp baguette with pickled vegetables, pâté, and traditional house seasonings. The tight menu lets our team prepare orders quickly while keeping every banh mi consistent during busy lunchtime rushes.
03
Inside, the atmosphere is casual, no-frills, and built around speed and value. Saigon Deli has grown into a local hidden gem and a go-to spot in southeast Calgary for anyone craving a quick, authentic Vietnamese sub—whether you're dining in, grabbing takeout, or calling ahead for a pickup order from Forest Lawn, Forest Heights, Penbrooke Meadows, or beyond.

" Probably the best place in Calgary for authentic Vietnamese subs. They put a generous amount of toppings. Their Sate Beef subs and Chicken subs are a must try. "
