Lee's Sandwiches

The house-made baguettes are incredible. But the space is stagnant, sketchy, and dirty. The floors haven't been mopped since the first Trump term.

The McDonald's of banh mi out here in downtown SJ.#5 grilled pork banh mi: overall it's alright. Grilled pork wasn't particularly tender but it's got some flavor with the marinade. The bread here is always strikingly pale on the exterior, but it's got some texture on it and isn't too dry. Always middle of the pack for Lee's in comparison to other banh mi spots. It is pricier than a lot of the other options in nearby Little Saigon.Overall this place is alright. It'll satisfy a craving for banh mi, but there are definitely better options nearby.

This is my favorite lee's location. I know they have a lot of nicer/newer locations but this one is just too convenient and too consistent to ever give up. I've been coming here since I went to SJSU and no matter what I try on the menu the ingredients are always fresh - everything is made to order unless you're grabbing their to go options which are so convenient when I'm running behind for a meeting.The honorary order is the lemongrass tofu bahn mi and the grilled shrimp spring rolls but just recently I tried their shrimp bowl and fell in love! I'll pretty much always come back but it helps that the staff is so sweet and always so accommodating.

So I always love LEES SANDWICHES! The Sammies here are always made so good and taste delicious, however the service is always so slow. They take forever to make them! The restaurant is sit in, take out, and designed nicely. But the restaurant isn't typically clean at all! Always come here because it's close to my son's barbershop!

Came here and the worker (who had a nose ring) was coughing up a storm and either wasn't covering up or was coughing directly into his hands while handing me my change. Made me lose my appetite. Service was very slow and we were the only ones there at the time.To top it off, they have this sign up on their register saying that if we don't get a receipt to text them for a free meal. When I did, I never received a response. I followed up a few times and still no response or acknowledgment. They really don't care if you don't get a receipt. Bunch of liars.

Do NOT listen to the cashiers when asking about dietary information. The cashier that took my order today was asked about if Lees had gluten free sandwiches (coworker has allergies). The cashier stated "absolutely, all sandwich bread is gluten free here, just not the croissants." My coworker was ecstatic, but after eating it has having health issues currently. The cashiers need to be either retrained to know what GF is, cause what other allergies do they not know about their food.

I have visited each of the Lee's Sandwiches locations primarily San Jose locations frequently however I had a very unfortunate experience at this location approximately a month ago. I ordered a Vietnamese blended coffee and large butter croissant. Along side my order I also purchased some pre packaged items prior to receiving my order. When I received my order the croissant was not full cooked on the inside, I did not recognize until I went to take a bite as I was sitting in my vehicle in front of the location. The raw dough stuck to the roof of my mouth and top teeth. I went back in to the store and simply inquired when the croissants were made and if they needed more time to sit. The woman confidently assured me that it was cooked throughly however when I showed her she avoided to look and asked if I wanted a new one. I respectfully declined and asked if they were all made the same order, she confirmed. She called another woman over and began to say "it is cooked, she is wrong". I let her ( the cashier and cook) know I didn't want a refund. I simply wanted to ensure the order of croissants were cooked for alternate customers to avoid ill or bilious symptoms. Poor, and inefficient customer service at this location. She issued a refund, however no sense of sincerity in serving raw dough. I intend to abstain supporting this business any further.

I picked up a bunch of chicken sandwiches for me and som friends. I ordered over the phone so I was able to skip the lunch rush line. If you know what you want that is the way to go. They also offer a bill CG of different pastries that are fresh. I will need to try some of them next time.There is plenty of seating if you want to eat in. They have a clean gender neutral bathroom. You will need to get the code from them.I forgot my receipt and called to get it sent to me. They were so helpful and texted it to me. This is definitely a place to use again when I am hungry and near city hall in San Jose.

Great location as it's on my way. However, I would rather drive across to McKee than go to this location. To begin it's located on the corner of a shopping center so theres plenty of parking spaces available. As soon as you enter Lees sandwiches you get slapped in the face with the pungent sewer odor. I placed my order at 3:35pm, I was the only person in the place and received my sandwich and drink 30 minutes later! I ordered a Pork belly Banh Mi and a Taro milk Tea. the Banh Mi was a Banh Mi and my Taro milk tea was really milk with a splash of Taro and chips of ice. very disappointed with my experience at this locatio.

The food is so good the sandwiches and bread is the best I have had in a while and their coconut jelly is by far my favorite dessert
