Spicy, savoury beef banh mi tossed in fragrant satay seasoning with crisp pickled vegetables and fresh herbs on a soft-yet-crisp baguette.
The Satay Beef Sub (Banh Mi Bo Sa Te) is one of the most ordered spicy banh mi at Saigon Deli and a long-time favourite for guests across southeast Calgary. Tender beef is wok-tossed with house satay seasoning — a fragrant blend of lemongrass, chili, and aromatic spices — and tucked into a fresh baguette for a warming, full-flavoured Vietnamese sub.
We finish each Satay Beef Sub with house-pickled carrots and daikon, cool cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeño for crunch and brightness. It's a top recommendation for first-time visitors looking for the best sate beef sub near them in Calgary, and a regular pickup order for the lunch rush from Forest Lawn, Marlborough, and Dover.

"Saigon Deli in Forest Lawn for Vietnamese subs! Honestly one of the city's best-kept hidden gems for banh mi."

"Closest thing to home cooking I've found in Calgary. The baguettes have that perfect soft-yet-crisp bite and the pickled veg is bright and fresh."
