Avocado smoothies are really my only go to here. The sandwiches are pretty consistent and very standard amongst all Vietnamese sandwiches. Nothing has really changed in the last few years. Service is always mid as well as the ambiance. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not really a place for you to sit and dine but a grab n go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Love getting their fresh baguettes. Currently $2 per roll. Parking: there might be open spaces from time to time. read more

Lee's Sandwiches - July 2025 - Vietnamese Near Me - Alhambra, California

Requested provolone cheese not American cheese for allergy reasons in my door dash delivery.This is extremely important for many who might have allergies. Extremely disappointing that orders are NOT read for these ridiculous delivery services. Why I refuse ordering through these services. You charge what you charge and then don't read orders correctly. More trouble than it's worth. Really disappointed. And I love lee's. read more

An absolutely delicious and hearty meal. I bought the classic dac biet (combination special) banh mi which did not fail to please my taste buds! I also got a delicious latte, which allows for customization of the sugar levels (unlike for the classic viet iced coffee served in house). Would highly recommend a stop for those in the area! read more

First time at this Lee's sandwiches and it was ok. The sandwich was 1/4 meat 1/4 veggies and 2/4 bread. The bbq pork was overly fatty, fatty sometimes is good if it melts but this was chewy and almost inedible. The coffee had good flavor and decent price for the size. Not apposed to coming back l, maybe I ordered the wrong thing ? But it was recommended by the worker. So ‍. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff was nice but most of the tables in the place were dirty and hadn't been cleaned off.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think if they limited their vast variety of options to like 1 page and added more protein to each sandwich there would be a bigger desire to go back. read more

Kinda annoyed that they either gave my baguette to someone else (customer that came after me), which btw, I didn't walk away. I was there waiting the whole time or on another occasion told me it's gonna take a while, but when the customer that came in after me asked for it, they sell it to them fairly fast. Their banh mis are average. Used to like the coconut raisin croissant and almond croissant but feel like it doesn't taste as good as before. Also used to like pate chaud, but it's pretty greasy. It only tastes good when it's freshly made. Doesn't hold very well. read more

Wasn't bad. I went on a Sunday at 6:30am. Parking was easy and that's a big plus for me! [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is no inside seating so everything is to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was fine and the atmosphere was pretty cool![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the Christmas decorations up in early November![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, there were just a lot of merch items like a convenience store :) and I found that nice![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the grilled pork, the special combo, Vietnamese cold coffee, and some whole beans. The sandwiches were alright. The bread and veggies were super fresh, but not a lot of meat. Coffee was fine. It wasn't as strong as I had hoped. It was definitely premade. But it was fine. I have not had the whole beans yet, but they seem freshly made and I can't wait to try them later! Over all, it was fine. If I am in the area again and wanted a quick Bahn mi, I'd stop by :) read more

I've been to Lee's in general like less than 5 times in my life. This is my second time at this location. I love their special cold cut meat sandwich and it was pretty good compared to other mom and pop shops. Service was slow even though we were the only customer at that time. It may be due to online order. I would definitely come back again! Nothing beats a good bahn mi. We also tried to order a drink that was shown on the menu but it's not available at this location and the staff clarified that it was a generic menu for all locations but not all items are offered in all locations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is giving me gas station vibes[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

3.4 stars Lee's used to be one my favorite banh mi shops back in early 2000s, but the quality has gone down a bit and the diversification of so many shelf-stable products makes them a jack of all trades, master of none. Their staples are still good like the sandwiches, croissants, and whatever is in the heated case. Coffee remains consistent. My usual order is their #14 pork roll and pate ($6.99) w/ extra vegetables ($.75). And coffee, but I buy the bottled coffee ($2.99) and buy a large cup of ice ($.50) to pour into. That way, I get about 1.5 cups of coffee for less $$. With inflation the way it is, I can't blame the number of Yelpers who complain about the ice-to-coffee ratio. Even if it's the correct way to drink Vietnamese coffee, paying $4+ for majority ice is insane. Service is quick and the cashiers have always been really nice. I'll still come back when I feel the banh mi itch. read more

Love Lee's coffee, but was disappointed when they didn't honor the $2 pastry promotion. Nowhere on the sign did it say it excluded "regular" Lee's coffee. They said it was flavor coffees only. ‍ read more

My first time trying Lee's Sandwich and it was not bad at all. The Bread was fresh and had a lot of tuna, just which had more veggies but oh well. My coworker brought it to me so I can't say anything about the service, since he ordered online. It was ready in time. So that said a lot about it.

classic great vietnamese iced coffee and quick, friendly service stopped by to get my coffee fix and i was not disappointed!

Very nice staff here. Speedy too. This lee's is located in the wendy's plaza on valley. Large coffee is not as strong. Maybe they made ahead of time, that's why they serve so fast. Delicious regardless. Can't go wrong with baguette. We get it from time to time to eat breakfast. A bit of butter or laughing cow with some berries, yum. read more

Came here to pickup my online order. Ordered 2 large iced coffees and a #01 Special Combination and #05 Grilled Pork sandwiches. I opted for no soy sauce because they have soy sauce by default now. Sandwiches were crunchy and fresh. I like to squish/flatten the bread before biting in so it's not as hard. Coffee wasn't filled all the way to the top of cup. Maybe 90% filled up, which was a little disappointing given how much an iced coffee costs now. But the coffee and sandwiches still tastes as good as always. Still has easy to find, free parking in parking lot. Service was good and quick. read more

Ordered 50% ice, anywhere else this means you have 50% less ice. Instead they fill with the same amount of ice, then pour less coffee. I asked if he could just fill it all the way, and they tried to charge me $2 to fill to the top. Ridiculous lol. Just ordered a regular after this for $4.29 and asked them to give me another regular with regular ice. All he did was fill this cup to the top. Why did the original guy say $2 to fill to the top then you charged $4.29 for a while new coffee and all you did was fill it to the top. If a 50% ice coffee cost the same amount as a regular, which the guy said it did, why are you charging me $4.29 to fill it to the top instead of giving me a new one???? Scammers Never had this experience at a Lee's, so ridiculous and unnecessary back and forth about a $4 coffee. read more

Where do I start? I've been coming here for years like 15+ if not longer, mostly for the Iced Coffee and Baguette, I usually get my Banh Mi's from other smaller restaurants as they taste better. I do enjoy their iced coffee and know that they sell the concentrate at Costco however I would prefer to not purchase that as I would feel tempted to drink it everyday. I noticed this Iced Coffee (Large) now costs $5.99, I mean that is really high now, it's so high i'd rather get fresh boba milk tea for $7-$8 at other higher end spots. The baguettes are not $1.99 as well but times are changing. I might come back once in a while but definitely not as often. read more

In Alhambra there is an abundance of Asian cuisine including numerous Vietnamese restaurants. But if you want a safe and consistent Banh Mi, Lee's Sandwiches is where it's at. Plain and simple best banh mi each and every time I come and order. I appreciate that, especially when some places are hit or miss. My go to order: BBQ pork banh mi, with extra meat *chef's kiss. The fresh baguettes and crisp, light ingredients pair delightfully well with the savory BBQ pork. Bonus points: if you're looking for a real caffeine fix, Lee's Vietnamese Iced Coffee will last you the entire day. Service is always friendly and fast. Have never had an issue parking in the small plaza it's located in. Smooth and delicious with each visit. read more

I went there for the convenience to pick up some eggrolls to share with my team. I had a piece and the bad oil tastes is in the filling and extremely overwhelming. My colleague tried a piece as well and its a consensus the aftertaste of bad oil lingers in your palette. I called to inform them and she repeatedly said we change our oil daily. Its the filling not the frying oil. read more

I always get #1 banh mi and their coffee. Their coffee is so strong and sweet but so delicious. Don't forget to get a pate chaud as a snack. My favorite. Service is great too! read more

Our work function ordered lunch from them and I planned on eating just half of their roast beef and cheese sandwich on a croissant. It was way better than I expected that I ended up eating the whole thing. The sandwich came in a clear box with all the vegetable fixings in a separate baggie so the croissant wasn't soggy. The croissant was heavenly, very bad for my figure. The roast beef was tender, juicy and flavorful. We also had their almond cookies. They were so good, too bad I did not get a close up pic. I gotta go back to get some more of those croissant and almond cookies. read more

I definitely have an obsession with this place. Now I would like to be clear that I do not like the food whatsoever. Not a fan of their dyed red meat. The weird sogginess of the meat and bread and unpleasant to me and I would rather go to Ba Le for my sandwiches. But the coffee? I LIVE for their coffee. Five stars just for their coffee. I usually get a regular Lee's coffee or a regular Lee's coffee smoothie with boba. Both are delicious. For the Lee's coffee, it may get watered down, because I'll chug it at work and the leftover mixes with the water, but the smoothie version is so good and since it's evenly mixed with ice, they coffee taste is still there. Surprisingly, their boba is pretty good! It's not sweet, but the consistency is there. I usually go through drive though and don't have any trouble, besides the lines. The only bad part about this place is the line, but I'm not surprised at how many people enjoy a good coffee. read more

I love stopping by here to get bahn mi or freshly baked baguettes. The prices are decent. I enjoy the food and drinks! They are pretty efficient so I'd rather just order from the counter than do mobile pick up. This store is clean and organized. There is also a drive thru. Customer service was good. read more

I enjoy this establishment just not this location. Idk if they have a different vendor but every time I get a sandwich the bread is super hard. The Vietnamese coffee which I love from here, they give you more ice than coffee. The service is ok, just the quality of my food is what sucks. read more

Best cold Vietnamese coffee for me. I usually order it with boba. I also love their #11 - Special combination sandwich. I like that they really use French Baguette for their sandwiches. Price is a bit high. read more

The pork sandwiches were...they smelled too porky for me. If you are sensitive to smell, then avoid the pork sandwiches. My husband got the #11 Special combination. I had a bite and immediately noticed a porky smell. My husband on the other hand loved it so much that he went back inside and ordered #6 bbq pork (Chinese style). Now #6 had more of a porky smell vs the #11 so people who love pork, you know what to order lol The #70, the op la (fried egg sandwich) with the pickled veg were good, and definitely recommend! 2 thumbs up! Iced coffee is 10 out of 10! A must if you're craving a sweet coffee. I see why they sell these in boxes at Costco. There's enough parking because this is in a plaza, so no worries there. read more

This was my first time trying Lee's! I got the Combination and Grilled Pork, since they are the two most popular sandwiches. They're both good but I definitely preferred the Combination -- it was a lot more savory and I enjoyed the variety of meats. Everything tasted super fresh and the portion was generous. The baguette is light and fluffy with just the right amount of crunch. I plan to come again next time I crave a banh mi! read more

We love the grilled pork and the tofu bahn mi at Lee's. They also sell freshly baked baguettes and other Vietnamese specialties. I need to get over there one morning for the super popular coffee while my body can handle the caffeine hit. We usually go to the one in Pasadena but tried this one on Valley this time. The counter guy was super nice and hooked me up with extra, extra, extra jalapeños!

This Lee's Sandwiches is super small but it gets the job done when you just want to grab a quick bite to eat. There are no tables and chairs so it's really just a grab and go location. As for parking, I usually don't have any problems finding parking but the parking lot does get busy as there are quite a few stores and restaurants in the same plaza. read more

The two sandwiches I brought this morning at 7.30 am were horrible hard and chewy. Tasted like old bread. Very disappointed.
