I have family in Fullerton. Whenever I visit and the plans don't include a meal, I stop by Lee's Sandwiches first and grab lunch. It is something I have been doing for years.

Lee's is a chain style Vietnamese and American sandwhich and specialty beverage spot. I have visited many of their locations over the years and was a regular when I lived closer to one of their locations in Monrovia.

I can't remember when I locked in my standard order. I order the same thing every single time I go now. It is just a perfect meal for me. The banh mi is excellent. Full of flavor and served on a fresh baguette. I love the special combo because it has a lot of texture and pork flavors.

The savory pastries are so tasty. I will get chicken if they are out of pork, but the pork is just awesome. At this point, Lee's is comfort food for me. I will never get tired of it, and I am always happy when I get to eat there.

The Fullerton spot is where I go to the most now because of my family that's there. They sometimes make fun of me for being so focused on Lee's, but I...

I know that inflation is hitting everyone hard, but wow, I never had an iced coffee from here that cheaped out on what looks like at least a whole ounce of coffee.

I know Lee's measures out their coffee before adding ice and either they are not filling it up to the proper line, or they got smaller measuring cups. I'd rather go elsewhere for...

Lee Sandwiches in Anaheim is a fresh baguette heaven. The bread? Perfectly crusty outside, fluffy inside — the kind of baguette that makes you wonder if France secretly outsourced to Orange County.

Their banh mi is in my personal hall of fame — a symphony of crunchy veggies and just the right tangy kick. And here’s the win for vegetarians like me: you can swap the meat for tofu and it’s still absolute magic.

Bonus points for the European-style sandwiches (yes, a proper jambon-beurre moment right here in Anaheim) and a little grocery section that’s like a treasure hunt for snacks you didn’t know you needed.

Come for the banh mi, leave with a full belly, and a bag of random treats. Five stars, no crumbs...
