Quintessential is a cliche adjective when it comes to food, except as it applies to Lee's.
San Jose's role in the Vietnamese diaspora is significant, and if I force any more fifty cent words into this review there won't be space to say "wow, that was delicious".
Order a sandwich, hell order two and eat half of each, try something new every day for a month.
The bread is everything, and if you're spice tolerant and don't purge the jalapenos you meant to nix when your ordered after your first bite it pairs incredibly well with their heat. The sweetness and crunch of the veggies is tactile and refreshing against the saltiness of the various meats that are more condiment than focal point. I wish I had one closer to me, but this one is perfectly located for southern bound road trips, just as you escape the urban for the suburban.
Drinks are amazing too, I was shocked to find they don't over sweeten their teas. Best Thai Tea I have had in...
Read moreJust finished my Banh Mi and writting this review right away
I was craving with Do Chua (carot/daikon) because i usually buy Banh Mi at Lee’s Sandwiches Cupertino. I was going to the maket in the area and decided to stop by Lee’s Sandwiches 95111. First, I asked for a Banh Mi with Do Chua only but they don’t have that. The cashier offered me for a Pate Banh Mi so i ordered it. After the first bite, it was really what I wanted. Do chua was amazing. A warm and crunchy bread!!!! Very fresh!!! Lovely. They also have drinks that other places don’t. And the store is kinda small. Just a few tables and chairs. But huge plus for friendly staff - This lady should get a raise 😂😂😂 She is the reason I want to come back again. 🥰 She was patient and indulged in all my requests. I love her smile. Very good personality. Hey owner, if you read this comment, treat your staff nicely. She is bringing money for you🫵 Great 5...
Read moreI ordered via Doordash a green tea matcha smoothie, vegetarian spring rolls, vegetarian (bi chay) sandwich, turkey and cheese sandwich and tiger black sugar fresh milk tea. The drinks did not include boba and there was not an option to add boba. I enjoyed the vegetarian sandwich though the portion size and filling was not plentiful. I disliked the vegetarian rolls as the filling was comparable to hay. My fiance did not enjoy the turkey and cheese...
