    Great sandwiches, vermicelli bowls and soup.  Great for a quick lunch stop that is a healthy alternative to the fast food of burgers, hot dogs, etc.

    Spence and I were down shopping in the Deerfoot Meadows area and he wanted some bubble tea.  We didn't think there were any until we found Tang.  It's kind of tucked in a corner and when you enter, it looks very similar to Thai Tai, the decor and all!  I'm not sure if it's the same owner with a different name but the menu items look almost identical.

    Anyways, Spence ordered the Strawberry mango bubble tea with pearls, and I ordered the Watermelon bubble tea with pearls.  Customer service was great, service was fast and we were on our way.

    We took our straws and stabbed it through the plastic at the top of the cup (Muah-hahahaaa, that's the best part!!! haha) and we sipped.  I found my watermelon to be ... tasteless.  It seemed like they used an old watermelon or the green parts (closest to the core) of the watermelon.  It wasn't that good!!  Spence enjoyed his Strawberry mango though!  He said it tasted like the one he gets at Thai Tai.  The pearls were harder than usual, I like when the pearls are softer with a sweet taste.

    It must have been an off time for the watermelon, maybe because they're no longer in season?? Hmm...I'll never know!! And the pearls..meh.

    I will probably come back...to accompany Spence and his Strawberry Mango bubble tea craving, if we're in the area.

    Tang is... ok. It reminded me a lot of a Thai Tai. Except more normalized for the burbs. Normalized meaning less options. Basically, a few smoothies, a few Vietnamese subs, some vermicelli bowls, etc.

    Service and process gets 4 stars. The girls working the cash and prepping the smoothies were fast and efficient at noon hour on a Saturday. And the folks in the back were prompt with getting those subs out and ready to eat.

    I wouldn't make the trip all the way out to Deerfoot Meadows to hit up Tang, but I'd certainly pick it over some other options in the area.

    You know what? It could all be in my head, but I feel like Tang's subs are just not as good as they used to be when it was under another name.

    Visiting again seemed to just confirm that.

    While the subs are good, they are not great. I used to feel they had the best subs in the city, but I think it has gone downhill a little bit. Not extremely, but just overall pretty underwhelming.

    It seems like the ratio of the subs is just a little off. Too much bread, or too stale or something. Just overall a little to dry.

      What used to be my favourite Thai Tai location has now become "Tang."

    I wasn't really sure what to expect when I came into Tang - would it be the same old Thai Tai I knew and loved? Would it be completely different, with a revamped menu? It was a little bit of both.
    They don't have the tons of variety that Thai Tai had, but you know what? There is a lot to be said for cutting down the menu and running things with less options. I'm sure it's easier for the staff, it makes it easier to pick what you want, and most importantly - none of my favourite menu items were missing!
    It's funny though, as Dan D has already said - they are just drier. There is something about the bread that is different. I think it's crustier. But I really loved the soft buns they used to have. Really though that's my only beef with this place. The interior looks pretty slick for a fast food joint, it really doesn't feel like a fast food joint at all! Every time I have been the staff have been really friendly and the service has been quick. AND the bubble tea is made with delicious fresh fruit. Recommended meal - chicken sate sub with everything on it and a watermelon bubble tea. Can't go wrong!

    Delicious sate chicken sub...not to mention FAST friendly service and an extremely CLEAN store.  I will definitely be back.
