Love that lee's opens up at 7:30am so I can get my banh mi and viet coffee fix especially when I know I'm gonna have a long day ahead of me. There's nothing fancy with lee's but the service is quick despite how busy they can be. There's plenty of seating if you decide you wanna eat your food there and the area is full of other shops and restaurants to try out. A little sad that prices have gone way up over the years but it's inevitable. read more

One of the bigger Lee's Sandwiches locations I've been to. There's plenty of parking out front in the shared shopping plaza, which is convenient. I stopped by for lunch during a seminar, so I was limited on time. One thing I liked about this location was the dine-in option, with plenty of tables and seating, which made it easy to grab a quick bite and get back on the go. I ordered a banh mi and an avocado shake. The banh mi was served on a ceramic plate, which was a nice touch, and I was able to bring the unfinished half back to the counter to have it wrapped up. The avocado shake was fairly good, but I felt the banh mi was a bit on the skimpy side, the meat portion was only a couple of slices. read more

I ordered their ham, egg, and cheese on a baguette (and added avocado for $1.75 more). You can choose this sandwich on a croissant if you'd prefer that. It was $14.74 on DoorDash before adding avocado. I also got the ice blend cafe mocha. It's very chocolatey and strong, and a pretty large size. I'd say service time is fast and it's a little casual place. The sand which was a lot bigger than I had anticipated. They give the entire baguette instead of just half so it was an entire To-go box filled. They provided a little bag of pickles, pepperoncini, and a mustard packet. I don't know if that's normally what is out on this sandwich or if it just comes with every sandwich they serve. It's good, the avocado they used was fresh and a good ripeness. The sandwich has egg, cheese (American, I think) and deli ham. I added some spread of my own for a little more flavor but it was good without if you like it that way. The baguette is really fresh and soft as well. read more

Being from Sacramento, I love any opportunity that I can get Lee's Sandwiches. That being said, I know what to expect. The store is almost full utilitarian. Signs explaining what you can and can't have, few decorations, and a dry goods table in the middle for snacks and other goodies. The service is similar, no pleasantries but not rude either. A few tables to sit and wait for your order. Offerings: - Banh Mi Thit Nuong: My go-to Banh Mi order. The bread here is amazing. It is a French baguette, crispy-will-cut-your-mouth on the exterior and soft inside. The meat was not as tender and well cooked as I am used to but the flavor was good. I always loved the veggies and jalapeños! Warning, eating this in your car will require a good vacuuming afterwards. - Pate Chaud: one of my favorite versions of this pastry ever. I love the congealed block of pork on the inside. It always has the best flavor and texture. The pasty is thinner than most puff pastry but buttery and delicious. - Banh Bao: I love a Vietnamese Banh Bao! The pork filling is very similar to that of a pate chaud. But with the additions of peas, carrots and a hard boiled egg, it really is a satisfying snack bordering on a meal. The white dough on the exterior is a bit denser and stickier than cake but still soft and so delicious. If you've never had one, this is a good place to dip your feet in. read more

Let's start with the good, they have a lot of parking on site and it's never difficult to find a spot. There are short waits and short lines. You can order by kiosk or with the cashier. There are plenty of tables for you to enjoy your meal as well. I have been here on multiple occasions without any issues. Their sandwiches are always on point. I have been intrigued by their bun offerings but have always gone for the banh mis. However, my last visit resulted in horrible food poisoning. I ordered the bun thit nuong and I didn't notice until I got home that they gave me a bun ga nuong instead. No big deal, same cost and I like chicken anyway. Ate it, several hours later, I started feeling cramps. Then I vomited all the contents of my stomach and thus began my next 48 hours of food poisoning. Later, I read the health inspection report and noticed that they had some violations for cockroaches recently. After getting my bearings, I reported my foodborne illness to the county health inspector and they got back to me to confirm that there were issues with how they were storing the cooked rice vermicelli (bun). The one time I decided to stray from my usual banh mi order and I get ill. I think I am forever scarred from going to this Lee's Sandwich. Buy food from here at your own risk. read more

To preface, I've ordered from here several times and have never had an issue. I'm honestly surprised I haven't reviewed them before since it's super easy to make the vegetarian options vegan, and their veggie mix is delicious. I typically get the custom bun bowl with veggie mix (veggie vermicelli noodle bowl) and ask them not to include fish sauce. Every time I've done this, they include a different soy-based cup of sauce in the container, so it doesn't end up being a dry noodle dish. Sadly, they've hired a really rude young woman who won't accommodate my order, even though I've ordered the same thing many times without issues. She has a really bad attitude and even threw soy sauce packets at the person who picked up my order today when they asked about the missing sauce in the container and mentioned how my order has been handled before. Because of her terrible behavior, lack of customer service, and refusal to fulfill a request that's been honored several times without hostility, I won't be coming back to this location again. There are way too many delicious Vietnamese sandwich spots in the area to deal with poor service and bad vibes. read more

Came by for a snack the other day and it was a mediocre experience. Ordered the meatball fresh roll and 3 rolls came up to $9.99. The meatball fresh rolls were fresh with some lettuce and vermicelli. The meatballs were flavorful. The peanut sauce tasted watered down and it was only mildly spicy. Huong Lan has much better spring rolls. There are plenty of tables for dining in. $9.99 for 3 spring rolls. read more

A big plus for me is that they open early when I need emergency Banh mi at 8 am. No other surrounding Banh mi places open as early as them. Even though it's a chain, you can see they make their bread in house and the spring rolls are fresh. I love nem nuong and can't pass up an opportunity to eat them, especially with that savory peanut sauce. They offer plenty of other food too, but I can only speak to the dishes I tried, in lauding the pate Chau. Flaky crust and the inside is what you'd expect it to be. Still wrapping my head around the price point though. Why is everything in Bay Area so expensive? read more

I really like Lee's Sandwiches and have been to many locations. I was rather disappointed with this location. The food was not bad, but did not match prior experiences with other Lee's locations. I got a sandwich and ordered egg rolls. Asked for nuoc cham and was told that I had to pay for it. The egg rolls were unfortunately dry, not flavorful and did not have much to the filling. The sandwich was what was ok, I got grilled pork and it was ok. I think what threw me off most were the prices. The egg rolls were $2.25 each and it cost almost $10 for four and they didn't want to give me the dipping sauce. I had to buy it. Then the sandwiches were also much more pricey that what I am used to from other Vietnamese sandwich places. I am sure part of is the cost of living, but the prices appear to be much more inflated. Many other dining options in Cupertino. read more

I came in after work during a weekday. The parking lot was super full so it took me one loop around the lot before I got a parking spot. Lee's wasn't busy, just one other party in front of me. The worker was quick to take my order of two banh mi's and spring rolls. It was a to go order and only took 15 mins for me to get my order! The inside of the restaurant is relatively what you expect for a deli and had lots of tables. The spring rolls and sauce were really good! The banh mi's were pretty good too but a bit pricey, in my opinion. I'd go again but maybe also go around to other banh mi places as well. Overall I'd give it a 3.5 but round up to a 4. read more

This is a review for only the Vietnamese iced coffee and pate chaud. When we see less sandwich, we always grab the Vietnamese ice coffee. It's strong, sweet delicious. It has a caramel flavor. I was just planning to just get the Vietnamese iced coffee, but I noticed that the pate chaud just came out and it was piping hot. The place seems small compared to other Lees sandwiches I've been to. I came around the time they opened up, so there weren't many prepared food. I was hoping they had the egg and spatula that I saw in previous reviews. Will I come again? Definitely. read more

Lee's Sandwiches - Spring rolls - Sandwiches Near Me - Cupertino, California

Sandwich lacked flavor. Tried to not waste it but left disgusted after seeing a giant cockroach under the table next to me.

The only place to rival the breakfast sandwich of my favorite donut shop. Workers are always super kind at both locations and the food is SO good. I'm hooked and I come in almost every morning I have off for an iced coffee and breakfast sandwich. The breakfast sandwiches are VERY generous in portion size and I would say the lunch sandwiches are pretty substantial as well. I love the variety of food, there's other snacks and options than sandwiches. I wouldn't say I come for the ambiance, and it could be better; but, I don't mind since I'm usually in and out. If you judge a place solely on the decor, then you'll miss out on good places. Always consistent and tastes delicious, thank you Lee's read more

I had a large order from this Lee's branch. I grew up with Banh mi from Lee's and the flavor was pretty good, and the requested packaging and labeling was followed by the staff which was really helpful. I got multiples of the grilled chicken, BBQ pork, and vegetarian versions. Everyone enjoyed the ordered food at my office. I would order from them again. read more

Bahn Mis are the usual: tasty and filled with fresh veggies. The store is big, but they don't carry the same items as other Lee's, like sticky rice bowls and sesame balls, which was a disappointment. The bathrooms are unkempt and felt like I was back in Asia with supersized roaches to watch out for. This was a frightening thing to see in a food establishment! Customer Service was minimal, even when there are no other customers in the store. I don't plan to return to this location, but will continue to support other Lee's locations. read more

Lee's Sandwiches - Tuna Almond & Cheese CR 38 - Sandwiches Near Me - Cupertino, California

Service is good, courteous and they will cook you the hot items even it's an hour before closing, and we ordered beef stew with bread. The stew is flavorful though it's more like a soup than a stew. I like the menu and how many different kinds of Vietnamese food they offer! From small snacks to entree to desserts! Lunch time is much busier than dinner and I see Vietnamese customers. They also sell pre-packaged snacks and instant noodles in the store, kinda like a convenience store. Some of the spicy instant noodle brands they carry are interesting. There are pre-packaged food on the counter next to the cashier and we grabbed a few things to try. The sausage sticky rice is a bit dry, the bbq pork, chicken with egg on rice is ok but too much rice. The spring rolls combo are the best as there are three different varieties, shrimp, sausage and tofu skin in 3 separate rolls. The one with tofu skin is surprisingly good and it's our first time trying it! Cheap eat for sure and not many Lee's have indoor seating areas so comfortable. This one actually has a few tables that can even accommodate a few families. read more

Walked here from my hotel a few weeks ago hungover because I figured a coffee and sandwich would help. Everyone else was still out cold and I wasn't about to lay in bed all morning. It was sunny and miserable but not too far. Got the banh mi dac biet and a cafe sua da. Sandwich sliced up the roof of my mouth because I don't know how to chew my food, I think I also bit the inside of my cheek. It was good though, ate the whole thing and basically hit my calorie goal for the day before noon. Coffee was also bomb. Would come back if I was in the area and had to walk, otherwise I'd probably eat something else cuz I don't normally get banh mi anyways. read more

Lee's Sandwiches - #11 Special Combination Banh Mi (Dac Biet) - Sandwiches Near Me - Cupertino, California

Overall, 3.5 stars from me. I've gotten their "mini" grilled chicken combo (chips and a drink) and it was very filling for it being a mini. Bread is made in house (so many reviewers say) and it was definitely one of the best baguettes I've had for a banh mi sandwich! Now the filling is what brings my rating down ... between the pickled veggies and the meat, they were very dry and not flavorful. I was hoping for them to be a little more juicy but I was let down. They also were heavier on the cilantro than anything else and overall the filling was just sort of plopped into the bread. Fast service which explains the serving but that also is a good thing if you're coming for a quick bite. I also have tried their spring rolls, mixed meat (pork + shrimp) and was also not too impressed with them. Pork was bland but they did fill the roll pretty well so 2 was enough for me. Location has plenty of seating, very spacious. Business offers a lot of food options from their sandwiches to egg/spring rolls and more. They have little bento boxes to go and also have grocery items for purchase. Very convenient if in the area looking for a quick bite. read more

Being in Cupertino, Lee's is our go-to Vietnamese sandwich place. #1 and #5 (grilled pork) are our favorites. I also like to order their "meatball spring rolls" for party appetizers. Their service is nice and quick. Lee's open early so it's convenient as other restaurants open much later. read more

Was pleasantly surprised to find about a dozen customers dining in on this fine Wednesday noon, but it was was very peaceful. My order was ready in less than 5 minutes. Some sandwiches are definitely better than others. Probably got one of the worse ones today: #1, Combination Banh Mi: 2/5 First thing I noticed was that the baguette was cold. Guess you have to ask them if they can heat it up for you? It had the right amount of crunch though. However, the scant amount of meat inside was not very flavorful and tasted rather artificial. Would not recommend I've heard good things about #6, the BBQ Pork Mi, so I'd probably go for that one in the future while also asking if they could heat up the baguette. They also have other to-go snacks and food items that might tempt my curiousity next time around. read more

Poor service. I ordered some chicken sticks which are made to order so I expect the order will take some time. After waiting for about 15 minutes, the lady at the counter asked what I was waiting for and I repeated my order, she went to the back to "check on my order". At that point it's pretty clear they forgot to start the order! I asked if they just started my order and she denied it. They came out about 7 minutes later. When asked why they took so long and they continued to deny that they forgot to start my order. It does not take 23 minutes to cook some chicken sticks. Expectedly I was not happy and by not owning up to their mistake, I asked for a refund. They don't deserve my business with that integrity. Do better Lee's read more

I usually frequent Lee's for their sandwiches...I was feeling adventurous today and decided to try their special vermicelli bowl. I should have stuck to their banh mi's. The BBQ Pork Bun (vermicelli bowl) was a huge miss for me. The BBQ pork was bland. The fish sauce was bland. The texture and the BBQ pork was weird. It was a waste of $11.99 and wasn't even worth $1.99. read more

Lee's Sandwiches - Weird BBQ bland Pork.. - Sandwiches Near Me - Cupertino, California

I was in the area running errands and picked up some stuff at Apple. My partner and I decided to swing by Lee's Sandwiches for lunch. We're use to frequenting the one back home in Atlanta, GA so it was nostalgic. I am aware each location is operated by different owners and taste may vary. SERVICE Swift and affable staff. FOOD The menu is pretty extensive with different protein options for the Banh mi. We ordered the #5 Grilled Pork (Thit Nuong) and #11 Special (Dac Biet). Both were solid. The grilled pork was sorta bland. It was missing some flavor. The Vietnamese Mayo is a little on the bland side too, which I think is vital for a Banh Mi; it adds richness and depth. We added sriracha and a few dashes of Maggi soy sauce to complete our meal. Banh Mis = 3 stars. I love that they have pre-made/prepared meals to-go. I grabbed a chicken sticky rice plate ($4.99) and a plate of the Vietnamese rice rolls/Banh cuon ($7.99). These items were tasty and solid for the price. I'll return and try more items on the menu as well as their Vietnamese iced coffee! Till next time! read more

Quick and easy lunch option in the area. Ordered a grilled pork bahn mi and it was actually pretty good. Good portion of pork that had good flavor, and wasn't overly salty. I would have liked more jalapeño and there was only one VERY thin slice of cucumber- so I think the overall balance of ingredients could have been better. But the bread was good and everything was tasty. Also tried two pork egg rolls that were surprisingly pretty good, but a little on the greasy side. Sandwich was $10.50 and 2 egg rolls were $3.50 so pretty good prices especially compared to what else is nearby. Overall, this is a good lunch option but nothing spectacular. I'll still be back since I work in the area. read more

Lee's Sandwiches is the classic Vietnamese sandwich shop. The Lee's Iced Coffee is must try - it's sweetened with condensed milk. This is the perfect spot to grab a sandwich for a quick meal. There's plenty of parking in the complex. My preference: #11 - Special Combination, #5 - Grilled Pork. No jalapeno. They can cut sandwiches in half. There's additional charge to wrap them separately. read more

Lee's is my go-to for banh mi! I grabbed a grilled chicken and grilled pork sandwich to go the last time I was in the South Bay. Both sandwiches were filled with a good amount of meat and pickled veggies. The chicken and pork were both tender and nicely grilled. My favorite part is the nice, chewy baguette. Each sandwich was less than $10 -- not bad for the Bay Area! Don't forget to also grab an iced coffee here. Service was also very fast and my order was ready in just a few minutes. Parking at this location is pretty easy as it's in a strip mall with plenty of spots. read more

Came here around 11:50 am on a Thursday to get lunch. This location is right on Steven's Creek and parking is very easy--it's free, never too many cars, and lots of parking spots. The line It appeared a bit busy when I arrived--three people were waiting for their order and I was the third in the line. The line goes by very fast and the staff is nice! It only took 5-10 minutes after ordering to receive the food. The food Nothing has changed since coming here for years...The food is consistently fresh, the staff is pleasant, and I am very happy with my order! I LOVE their #12 Vegetarian Banh mi sandwich! If you're vegetarian like me, TRY THIS. The bread is crunchy and toasty but not tough, the shredded tofu and pickled veggies aren't too salty or overbearing, and the size of the sandwich is very nice for the price you get. Oh, I can't take spicy so I always ask for the jalapeños to be removed. I don't know if I have been craving this for the longest time, but literally every bite into the sandwich was *chef's kiss* (aka absolutely delicious). My parents enjoy their #4 grilled chicken and #5 grilled pork sandwich. After all these years, I finally tried their signature Iced Coffee during this visit. I didn't know what to expect but I have heard Lee's Iced Coffee is made with condensed milk. When I took my first sip, it was VERY tasty, and dare I say a bit too sweet for me (and I have a BIG sweet tooth!) But no problem--when I got home, I diluted it with ice and it was just fine. This wasn't a big issue for me... I would still give Lee's Sandwiches 5 stars! Overall, 5/5 for the food and experience and quick in & out. The staff informed me they bake a fresh batch of baguettes almost every 30 minutes here! I happened to get there at a good time that day. Highly recommend! They always have an assortment of food and drinks to choose as well around the shop from if you like that (see pictures). read more

We ordered food for pickup via DoorDash. Our order was ready pretty quickly and there was little wait. There was also lots of parking available. I ordered the #12 Vegetarian Banh Mi (Bi Chay). The banh mi was alright. The flavor was there, but there was too little stuffing, so I couldn't really taste it and could only taste mostly bread. The bread was okay - crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. Portion-wise, it was worth it for the the price and very filling. It can also be shareable between 2 people. Overall, I wish there was more stuffing inside, which might be the case for other flavors, so will be back in the future to try other sandwiches and drinks on the menu next time. read more

The price, flavor, and service are not on par with their prices. The meat was dry, as was the bread.

I was craving a Vietnamese sandwich so I decided to come here while I was waiting for my boba a block or two away. Their sandwiches are pretty fairly priced for being a foot long sandwich. I love how the bread freshly heated up did not cut the roof of my mouth. I ordered the special combo and the bbq pork. Both were good but I liked the bbq pork more! Had a good amount of filling and was tasty. I ate the sandwiches too fast for pictures. I'm sorry! I know the coffee is amazing since I've gotten the frozen version from business Costco's. Sweet and strong. I'll be back! read more

So after my COVID nasal swab at the RiteAid on Homestead AND failed attempt to get some ramen at Ippudo, I went to my go-to for a solid BBQ bahn mi sammich;) I love all the comfort food and smell of baguettes freshly baking. Plus the staff is super friendly and accommodating. AND they have delicious red bean sesame balls! Yes, just like the ones you order after dim sum! After I placed my order and was waiting, this woman with a Hispanic name was picking up her order for SIX egg and cheese sandwiches on baguette. Her tone was a bit condescending as her voice got louder. She started the confusion by actually ordering the six, then backtracked to clarify that this order was already called in. Why do people do that? And then indignantly act like the error is on the service staff to become irate and rude! Truly infuriating to witness, especially since the order taker was sooooo apologetic trying to make her ERROR right. Then to add insult to injury, she loudly complained how much she paid LAST time as I looked up at the menu board to see that the price advertised was $7.50 each. When pointed out, she loudly complained how expensive it was, how the price was not right, and that she could make them at home. Well, yes, I agree! Please stay at home and make them yourself to spare these nice people with your horrible belittling behavior. I, though, thoroughly enjoyed my food as I dined outside on this beautiful day. BE GONE TROLL ! read more
