Classic Vietnamese banh mi featuring steamed pork roll (cha lua) layered with pickled vegetables and fresh herbs on a fresh baguette.
The Pork Patty Sub (Banh Mi Cha Lua) at Saigon Deli features Vietnamese steamed pork roll — a delicately seasoned, smooth-textured pork that's a staple of traditional Vietnamese delis. We slice it generously and tuck it into a fresh baguette for a clean, classic banh mi profile.
Topped with house-pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeño, this is a great choice for guests who want a more subtle, traditional banh mi flavour. It's a long-time pick for cha lua fans across Forest Lawn and southeast Calgary.

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

"Saigon Deli has jumped to my number one. Used to go elsewhere across town, but this is just consistently better and more authentic."

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