Saigon Subs Houston

Love the smoothies here. I've had a few fruit ones and my favorite is the chocolate, banana and blueberry. It's always the same lady behind the counter when I visit and she's really nice. First time there, she gave me a sample of the smoothie I ordered to make sure I liked it. I now have a loyalty card since I'll visit often. I only gave it 4/5 stars because I wish they had bigger smoothie sizes besides the one they carry. Update I've tried their specialty mini egg rolls and they were made fresh. Crispy outside and moist inside. Perfect snack size on the go.

I was exploring the area for lunch on a weekday during work, and I came across Saigon Subs. The reviews looked favorable and I was very excited to check out their bubble tea. When I arrived, I noticed it was a small place with a few tables. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Bánh Mì sandwich ($4.99) and added a fried egg ($0.99) and an avocado ($0.99) for an extra fee. I also observed their bubble tea menu and asked the employee some questions. For their smoothies, you can choose up to two fruits, but they will charge $0.50 extra for each additional fruit. They also use syrup for added flavor for a majority of their fruit smoothies, which I didn't want, so I opted for the Jasmine Green Tea with tapioca and half sugar. The tea had a lingering tomato juice taste, which was absolutely bizarre for a Jasmine Green Tea. I'm not sure if that's just how their tea tastes like, or if the containers were contaminated, but either way, the tea was freaking gross. The tapioca on the other hand was fine, it was not too hard or soft. Also, I do like that they give their customers a choice of a regular or a large size. Overall, I'd say the sandwich was pretty good, but the bubble tea was a huge disappointment. Come here for the sandwiches, but leave the bubble tea behind. I may need to try some other teas (or smoothies) on their menu for them to redeem themselves, but my first experience with my beloved boba drank was awful. What to order: -Grilled Chicken Bánh Mì sandwich ($4.99) w/ an added fried egg ($0.99) and an avocado ($0.99) Pros: -Value -Private parking lot -Buy 5 subs, get 1 free (must purchase all at the same time - good for work outings) -Service (nice, friendly employees) Cons: -Jasmine Green Tea tastes gross with a bizarre lingering tomato juice taste
