udonguy Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I've never eaten there, but go regularly to buy their excellent dill pickles. They smile at me, when I pull out my washed pickle jar- they offer a 3 B discount if you bring back their jars. No doubt they're smiling at the thought of a farang who cares about 3 B....... you actually wash out the jar and take it back for 3 baht? you jest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellodolly Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Pickles is open: Tues - Sun 10am-8pm. Closed Mondays Actually open? We can just pop in any time, no need to call ahead? Re: Amazing Sandwich, the only thing that is amazing is it's name. Agreed on Sandwich, decent quality but not particularly amazing, got a smile there too. The Wild Boar can take them on for brekky any day, the American or Brit breakfast is full bore (with beans etc) and, I think, 120 with coffee. Having said that, where is Pickles located I need something new(ish) My friend and I stopped in for the first time the other day. I am not a good judge on Pastrami or corned beef but my friend is. What he ordered was the corned beef and said it was far and away better than amazing sandwich. He took a tongue sandwich home and told me it was OK. I had calazonia with smoked sausage I liked it. It was a different smoke flavor than I have ever had before. Its not on the menu but if you ask for breakfast of bacon and eggs no problem he smokes his own bacon three times. Am defiantly looking forward to giving it a go. Hard to find good bacon. His address is 18/3 Soi 3 Chang Phuek Chiang Mai. 50300 His Phone number is 0896370835 In case you get lost.

Thats actually a problem (imo)with most sandwich places, the sandwiches are ginormous! I hate waste and being scottish thus rather frugal (), hate spending and wasting. I either have to leave half a sandwich or take it with me where it turns soggy and inedible. Oh the dilemmas of life. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarmonicaNomad Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Well, just had a couple burgers at Amazing Sandwich... The girlfriend had a chicken burger and I had the meat burger. We were both not impressed at all by the quality and taste... Hopefully, their sandwiches are better. But we'll probably never know as there is lots of better place in town to enjoy a good meal.

Plucky Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I find them always smiling. Food fantastic. On top of all this my local Thai friends will never allow me to pick up the bill and I am chased by numerous Thai Chinese hi so ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarmonicaNomad Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'd rather have no smiles and good food. But both would be great. The staff was smiling and courteous but that won't get me back as a customer. And I don't think it's too much to expect something else than cheap 7/11 white bread when a place specialize in sandwiches. How's is it called again? Amazing Sandwich? Too bad, I had high hopes for this place and I didn't even make it to sandwiches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellodolly Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I ate at Amazing Sandwich about 5 years ago and as far as i was concerned it was nothing special at all. I'd be happy to give it another try given these endorsements, but I often find endorsements here to be not that valuable given peoples different tastes in food. So let's try something more objective. For those that have been to "Pickles Deli", is Amazing Sandwich in that league or is it more like a "Mighty Moes"? I'm not driving into town to be disappointed. I had heard about the place so I finally dropped in to get a sandwich. f course it is amazing. They put what you want on it. If you can not come up with a amazing sandwich that is your fault no theirs, Mine was amazing,. As for price it was 139 baht which I found reasonable for what i got. I doubt you could make the identical one at home much cheaper time you figure in chasing all over to get the different ingredients. And when you got them you would probably have to eat them up in a few days so they don't go bad, The honey mustard would set you back not to mention the cheese mars and vegetables.

uptheos Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 yeah, the 7-11 bread is rubbish but get over it dude...! seriously wise up! its thailand not the ritz! I would have thought that a major pre-requisite for an amazing sandwich is at the very least, good bread. There is decent bread (not amazing) available in Chiang Mai, but you have to go get it and pay the asking price. The 7/11 bread is just about as awful as it get and has no place in a sandwich shop!

NancyL Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Don't you get to specify which type of bread you'd like when you order a sandwich at Amazing Sandwich? If someone orders plain, white bread -- then they shouldn't complain if they're served plain, white bread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have always enjoyed JJs bakery whole grain breads for sandwiches. You can buy it at Rimping, but I am not sure about wholesale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarmonicaNomad Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Well, I gotta say that their sandwiches sure look a LOT tastier than their burgers!

DaamNaam Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Their sandwiches and baguettes are always good. Pizzas and burgers I wouldn't order again. Tried fish n chips there once, much better at Kelly's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This photo might actually have convinced me to give them another shot, in all fairness. But does it taste homemade or more like Subway? I think sandwiches from both Subway and Amazing Sandwich taste way better than my homemade sandwiches. As Hellodolly points out, few people have all the ingredients in their refrigerator and/or they don't want to spend the time to prepare just a few slices of tomato, green pepper, onion, carrot, etc. My homemade sandwiches usually consist of ham and cheese (maybe melted in the toaster oven), with a bit of mustard and lettuce if we have some around. Not exactly Amazing Sandwich quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave2 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 re. I think sandwiches from both Subway and Amazing Sandwich taste way better than my homemade sandwiches. i agree and i have a subway from the night bazzar now and again and its good but you get a lot more stuff in an amazing sandwich sub coz theres way more choice of fillings and if you want to pump it up with a bit more with something you fancy bacon , turkey , tuna etc ... you can but costs extra : ( so when i want extra ??????? in my sandwich thats what i order and #### the cost coz i only eat once a day dave2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyInCM Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The ingredients at amazing sandwich are varied and of decent quality. But, the bread is so so and the bread for a sandwich is pretty important, so I wouldn't go there again for a sandwich. But, I agree the breakfast is good so if I'm in that area in the morning I stop in. Some of the bakeries in town have sandwiches (the one by smith is great) and butter is better makes a good sandwich. Maybe you can bring your own bread to amazing sandwich (at the risk of them dropping it on the floor and stepping on it in the kitchen by accident on purpose)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
