I've been coming to Lee's Sandwiches for years and I've completely forgotten to write an ode to it on the blog. Sometimes I'm not in the mood for anything other than a vietnamese sandwich and a 2 dollar Arizona green tea.
Based in San Jose and family owned, Lee's Sanwiches carries a lot of weight in the world of Asian franchises. Lee's isn't just a sandwich shop it's a brand. Right next door to this place there's a Lee's Landromat and Lee's Dollar Store. I'm still waiting on Lee's Oil Change and Lee's Funeral Home.
Lee's Sandwiches is the Burger King of vietnamese sandwich shops. Except you don't get to have it your way and the vietnamese ladies that work here run their mouth about you like crazy in their language.
I come for the awesome dirt cheap sandwiches and stay for the awesome saran wrapped lunch plates.
I've never tried the desserts but don't let that hold you back. Southeast Asian desserts are the best, said no one.
This is the menu herbs order off of. The sandwiches are twice as expensive and are pre-made by the one white person that works there.
I bought two because I eat like I make money: in large lump sums and when nobody's looking.
Get the teriyaki chicken.
