Review from Jennifer L.

Oh summer is here!!!!!....? (Calgary weather -_-). Thai Tai bubbletea is definitely a summer time drink that you will greatly appreciate while the hot sun shines down on us. Fresh fruit is preferred! As previously reviewed, try the FRESH watermelon bubble tea or the FRESH honeydew pineapple! They are both nice and light, quenches the summer day thirsts perfectly!
Give them a try! :)Listed in: Keep Calm and have something…

Dear Thai Tai,
I understand that your staff probably don't want to deal with having to clean up a customer bathroom - especially since you're situated on 17 Ave. I worked a few blocks down for a year and I only let pregnant women and children use our store's bathroom.
But don't put an "Out of Order" sign on your bathroom door if your staff is going to use the "out of order" bathroom TWICE while I wait for my sub to be prepared. That's just bad form.
Minus 4 stars for lying, extra star because I USED IT ANYWAY, HAHAHA!
Protip: Lock the bathroom door and have customers request the key.Listed in: F, F, D, HK, Calgary 1Ups

Review from Wendy P.

I've gotta say, I enjoy my Thai Tai subs. My favourite sub is the Teriyaki Chicken with some cucumber, carrots and cilantro. The bun has a nice crunch to the crust. It's just the right thickness to go with the sub filling as well.
I quite enjoy the lychee smoothie as well. It's the same thing as the bubble tea, just without the bubbles. You heard it here, you can definitely ask for your bubble tea without the bubbles. Little jelly things in my drink just freaks me out a little.
Note: I'm not sure about the other locations, but the 17th Ave spot is more of a walk-in/take-out kind of a place. There's one bench to sit down and wait on, but no tables. It works if you got the sub, but if you ordered any of the other meals, expect to be finding somewhere else to eat it. -

Thai Thai on 17th serves the second best bubble tea in the city. The first best is from Bubblicous in the N.E., but if you're not planning on making a trip down there anytime soon, the bubble tea at Thai Tai is sure to satisfy.
I always get the same kind: Strawberry & Mango with pearls.
SO friggin good.
You know I love them because I'll go to Thai Tai JUST for the bubble tea. You'll never see me leave with any food because the bubble tea is what satisfies me to the core.
If you've been going there regularly but have yet to try their bubble teas, I highly recommend you do. Oh, and be sure to try the Strawberry-mango, it's a killer combo!1 Previous Review: Show all »

Thai Tai Timely - Not the best Vietnamese subs (little light on the protein portions) or the best bubble tea (powdered fruit flavoring on occasion) in Cowtropolis, but the availability of the two along with the rest of its menu, good open/close scope, and a great location, makes this a convenient place to satiate your Red Mile munchies.

I thought I should try another local business near my home for supper so I decided I felt like bubble tea today and the closest establishment to me is Thai Tai. I wanted something that had parking, was a quick takeout service and delicious. Of course I found all three at this location. Thai has its own allotted parking area but they share this with a Cleaners and a Travel Agency so although parking is available it can be very messy if three or four cars are moving at the same time in this small area.
Upon entering and from the outside I expected the place would have tables but it is solely a takeout place which was fine with me, I wanted something to nurture me while watching videos tonight. And what I saw was a huge mouth watering menu and about 40 bubble tea options many using fresh fruit. Thairiffic! Just to mention a few: watermelon, lychee, mango, banana, honeydew, coconut, jackfruit, kiwi and taro.
Expect spring rolls and oriental salads, oriental soups, rice or vermicelli bowls and what Thai Tai is known for of course; subs! Your usual choices of lemon beef or chicken, tiger prawns, and vegetables.
Tonight I ordered a lemon chicken with tons of cilantro and a cantaloupe bubble tea with pearls. When I got home and unwrapped my sub I was reminded at how large these are, approx 10 inches and for the same price I have paid for a half sub at Subway which is approx only about 5 inches.
The bubble teas here are around 4.95 and there are places in Calgary that you can buy these for lesser prices but at Thai Tai it is served in quite a tall container. All in all twelve dollars for my whole take out meal, so satisfying and so refreshing. -

My fave is the Sate Beef Sub, fully loaded. It's so good. I find they do not stinge on the beef. The veges are fresh and I love the red chillies they put in the sub. The size of the sub at least 10" and the diameter is about 3".
Also, I had a taste of the Sate Beef Noodle Soup. The broth is tasty with a hint of spice.
For my beverage, I had the Jackfruit Bubble Tea with Mango Jelly. Yummy and so cooling! -

Man, do these guys know how to make a mean sub! I'm no expert on these particular subs, but I am an expert at what I like to eat, and Thai Tai certainly hits the good spot!
I was super surprised by the variety of their menu and could barely decide what I wanted. I finally settled on the sub and couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it. The stuff they put on the subs may seem a bit weird, but it all tastes so good together!
I especially enjoyed getting it to go so that I could enjoy a nice stroll down 17th. They wrap it so conveniently that it's simple to walk and eat at the same time. I also got a bubble tea which was a nice contrast to the slight spiciness of the food. But, you can never go wrong with a bubble tea!
Next time I crave a sub, I'm not going to think about getting Subway, instead I'll probably hit up Thai Tai for another delicious sub and refreshing bubble tea. -

This is how it goes. You go to the Ship, Bungalow, Yardhouse, Melrose or any other 17th Avenue on a weekend night. 2 AM arrives. You get ushered out by 2:30 and you're starving. Sure there's Wicked Wedge but I don't want pizza dammit. I want something ELSE.
Thai Tai is a brilliant option in which to soak up your tummy full of alcohol. I pretty much stick to my favourite: the curry chicken sub and the taro bubble tea with pearls. This will cost about $11.50 and it will taste like a lil slice of end-of-night-heaven. And there's always comraderie with fellow night owls on the prowl to calm the tummy growl. That's the kind of rhyme you'd make at the end of such a night. *giggle* -

Context is always an interesting aspect to consider when reading a review. Admittedly, this was the first time eating at Thai Tai sober. After a night of blissful inebriation, there isn't much left for an objective opinion on food and service. This time around, sober and clearheaded (more like translucent in my case), the food didn't live up to the expectation. The pineapple and beef sub had a muskier taste to it than last time and turned my stomach for a few minutes. It also felt less sweeter and took more time to make even though the line was shorter this time. The service here also was not that friendly, could a customer get a word let alone a smile? Unfortunately, this trip was one of disappointment. No more documenting of experiences when in the context of intoxication, lesson learned. Wouldn't want my yelp license suspended!

I am DEPRIVED without my Thai Tai!
Their Wor Shrimp Wonton Soup is to dieeeeee for! Although I have not lived in Calgary for the last 8 years, I visit frequently and the last 2 years Thai Tai is always on top of my to-go & late night eating food expenditures. Especially since I reside in Erlton when I am in the city.
The wait is never horribly long. Patience = fresher food, anyways, so why wouldn't you want to wait? -

Beef saute sweet onion with all the toppings! mmmm my favorite sub. I love the salad rolls too. I have tried subs at other vietnamese places but end up with mystery meat. Just can`t beat Thai Thai. I really wish they would put a location in the NW!

I was just an innocent Yank passing through from Banff to Glacier National Park down in Montana, not suspecting the food in Calgary would be as amazing as it was. Thai Tai is excellent, and representative of the other offerings. I have to look for an excuse to get back to this town on an expense account.

I love the ultimate sub at Thai Tai !!! Although they offer a variety of other subs and soups as well as an assortment of different smoothies the ultimate sub is the prime reason for me to go to Thai Tai. The watermelon smoothie tops the smoothie list for me. I also like the fact that they are very reasonably priced. So when will you try an ultimate sub?

mmm thai tai! the subs here are so unique and different compared to other vietnamese submarine sandwich joints. thai tai offers much more than submarine sandwiches. there are rolls [veggie, spring, shrimp, etc], soups, and rice or vermicelli dishes. they also have a wide variety of drinks! i love the bubble tea here. they're made from fresh fruits :) ! the sub i enjoy the most is the buddha veggie sub, which is made with sate tofu and your choice of veggie toppings and condiments. yummm! oh yea, this place can get really REALLY busy during lunch and late hours
