Lee's Sandwiches — Restaurant in Long Beach

As usual. Took half an hour for me to get a juice. Staff always overwhelmed. I don't eat sandwiches here. The bread Is way too hard. The meat quality is not good. Just for reference ..The price is not cheap for what you get...I always go back to oc to get my banh mi. Beside that I don't like it that cashier would be touching my food after handling money. I only come here to get sugar cane juice even though they don't put a squeeze of kumquat juice in it. All in all...don't come unless u have no choice.

Their bread makes Subway bread look like garbage, and they have pretty good (though not quite as hilariously underpriced) smoothie-type sugary...

A little tucked away past the Long Beach traffic circle, this Lee's is a nice quick bite gem. It looks pretty small from the outside, but I was surprised to see they had a lot of space inside. The staff was very courteous and helpful. They made vegetarian spring rolls for me when they didn't have them prepacked in the front, and I thought that was pretty cool of them. Each Lee's is always subtlety different in how they make their sandwiches, but I think this location is doing it right. The bread is crispy and a little buttery any the ingredients are fresh. They also have a classic bar arcade cabinet if you're into retro video games. Great place to go get...
