Lee's Sandwiches — Restaurant in Pasadena

If you want to try something different, this sandwich shop is a good alternative to Subway and to TOGO's. They have Vietnamese/Asian sandwiches. They also have your typical ham, egg & cheese on croissant or baguette.

Some of their Asian sandwiches tastes weird though so just try what works and what doesn't work for your tastebuds. I like their teas, smoothies, and other juice drinks. I also like their Vietnamese coffee.

There are few chairs and tables here but this place doesn't get crowded as most people buy their food to go.

UPDATE: Ordered a Turkey Croissant and Thai tea today and it took a while before they took my order. They only had two people working during the busy "lunch hour", no one was manning the cashier taking orders while they prepared previous orders taken. When the cashier was done helping prep the orders he then wnet back to manning the cashier. Some people walked out because it took a long time before the cashier started taking orders. They probably should have at least three people working during the busy...

I usually buy their bottled Vietnamese coffee here in Pasadena branch, 6 bottles each time coz they have a promo buy 2 get 1 free. So when I buy 4, I get 2 free = 6 bottles that also conveniently fit their 6-pack box. I buy in this branch weekly for the last several months. Last Sunday, 8/8/21, I came to buy my “weekly supply.” The lady behind the registry said we don’t offer buy 2 get 1 free anymore. I told them ok but that they’re advertising on their website a 20% discount on all items (which they had) and would like to avail of that, instead. The lady said they don’t know of any discount (even when I showed her their website on my phone that had the 20% discount on all items) and told me, “Maybe you should’ve purchased what you wanted from the website, instead.” Really?! What an arrogant employee they have! I know not to go for the Vietnamese coffee in this branch anymore! There’s other places that sells the same coffee with better and...

Just had a grilled pork bahn mi, pork and shrimp egg rolls and a Vietnamese coffee and I have to say I haven’t had a good bahn mi in 10 years and this place was amazing. The thickness of the baguette is what it should be, most restaurants give you the thickest baguettes drowning all the filling but this place knows the correct ratio of bread to filling. The grilled pork was so savory and the pickled radish and carrot where thick cut making every bite a good combo of everything. I also find that most restaurants don’t put enough spread on the bread making really dry bahn mi’s where as here they don’t taste dry at all. The egg rolls were hot and crispy and the Vietnamese coffee felt like I was drinking coffee ice cream, which is addicting. I will definitely return and recommend this place to others if they want to have an authentic bahn...
