Ba Le Sandwich Shop

Dining around Vancouver can add up if you're eating out all the time and it's nice to find hidden gems that offer good eats at very affordable prices. Ba Le Sandwich Shop calls Chinatown home and is a favorite amongst Vancouverites looking for a cheap and flavorful banh mi, a Vietnamese sub. The sandwiches are served in a freshly baked crusty bun and filled with meat, pickled carrots, daikon, cilantro, butter and chili peppers. This whole in the wall has been a staple in Chinatown for many years and though the decor won't wow you, the tasty bang for your buck will. There are about seven different banh mi to choose from, with a tofu option for vegetarians. There are a few other Vietnamese specialties on the menu, but most come for the subs.
