Rose’s Vietnamese Sandwiches

I would eat one of Rose’s sandwiches every day for the rest of my life if I could.

Love this place. The ladies behind the counter are always cheerful and happy to see me. I must say, the tofu sandwich is the best. Super cheap too. Recommend.

Since my other viet sub store closed I have found roses to be the perfect substitute for them. spring rolls are absolutely delicious and the lady at the counter refuses to let you just buy one. Prices are cheap around $ 3 for sub $ 1 for spring rolls

The best and freshest basic bahn mi in Toronto + some daily items that are often worth to try. Owner is nice and there is no hush-​hush here, as opposed to other downtown basic bahn mi places.

The first time I ate a banh mi I broke up with my girlfriend. Now everytime I eat banh mi it makes me happy. Rose makes the happiest sandwiches in Toronto and for a good price. Ask for no bag for your sandwich and you save the environment but no discount. I don’t complain add the process are already good.
If ever you are getting lobster ay Bill’s I totally recommend stopping by rose’s for a Vietnamese sub.

Great food for cheap! A feast for 2 for $ 12. The assorted bahn mi, spring rolls and bao burger were all delicious.

great for a quick bite and cheap! glad I stumbled upon this place and close by as well

Rose’s Rocks!!!. .. walking around the gerrard/​broadview areas, store front caught my attention so I popped-​in to take a peak. Tiny lil sandwich/​grocery shop. 2 cute vietnamese mamasan’s behind the counter were super-​sweet. One of them (.. .maybe rose?), had lil bit of a fun, friendly, flirty energy. Totally dug her vibe. Food wise. .. forgetaboutit!!! Best bahn mi in the city! Initially I ordered only the chicken sandweech. Standing next to an asian dude (.. . happened to be japanese), I noticed he was ordering the meatball. Asked if they’re were tasty, he’s like, dude, they’re awesome. Boom, solid endorsement, so I ordered a meatball on the fly. Just before payiing and heading out, I noticed the spring-​rolls. They were massive. Always a sucker for crispy, crunchy, tender rolls, I asked for 4 to take home. Rose insisted I also grab and snack on one on the spot. She’s such a cutie I couldn’t resist. Pork-​filled spring-​roll heaven. Taste, texture 10++++++. Seriously, tasted soooooooo good it was retarded. Easily one of the best in the city!
I wasn’t even 10 feet from the store, walking across the street before I tore open the wrapper to take a taste of the meatball. Killer asian sub in everyway. Toasty french style bun, crazy fresh ingredients ie cilantro etc. Hot sauce was also a killer. Made in-​house. .. picked-​up hints of hot chillie peppers, garlic, maybe soy (not 100% sure).
2 awesome authentic vietnamese sandwiches + 5 killer spring-​rolls. .. 10 buck$
Great food, great price, great people.

I can’t say it any better than Bart D did*. I agree with every word. Except I paid $ 2.50 for my fabulous shredded chicken sandwich today. SUCH A BARGAIN and so delicious. Incredible.
*Rose made no claims about virility when preparing my sandwich. Which is just as well. As I’m not a guy and stuff.

How has nobody else given Rose props for her amazing sandwiches? My first time there she rather hilariously proclaimed her sandwiches would boost my libido and make me a virile sex machine. The Banh Mi are delectable, massive, and cost $ 2 tax included. TWO DOLLARS! Where on earth do you find a deal like that in this day and age? $ 10 flat gets you 5 sandwiches, which will feed you for 3 days.
There are a gazillion reviews for Banh Mi Boys, with their inflated pricing and rather pretentious take on the venerable sandwich. Their food is great, don’t get me wrong — but there’s no tradition, and you’re feeding a hipster machine with good branding, location, and social media presence. It will also set you back $ 20 for one meal. I urge you to save your money for Rose.
Rose does it right.

5 out of 5 for their Vietnamese sandwich buns. $ 2.50 per bun including tax. Enough said.
Their salad rolls are pricey at $ 4 – 5 for a pack of 4 but they are very yummy with the sauces provided. Totally recommend.
Spring rolls however are nothing to write home about. They were bland with too much cabbage and didn’t come with any dipping sauce. I think they are around $ 1 – 1.20.
