    Croissant Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich
    Penelope

    Croissant teriyaki chicken sandwich was very tasty and filling.. Bacon was crispy and not too greasy. Ordered at the self-order kiosk. Service was a bit slow since there were a good amount of people, but definitely worth the wait and the price.

    The sandwiches here are amazing, I usually get the bbq pork which I got again this time! Tried a newish menu item, the biscoff Vietnamese iced coffee. It's literally cr@ck I can't believe it I was shaking but it was so worth it. I loveee biscoff! There's electronic ordering on a giant iPad here too. The parking kind of sucks but that's alright! It can get packed here for a lunch rush so be prepared. I love the sesame balls too

    #05 SW Grilled Pork

    I expected a bit more out of Lee's Sandwiches, although nothing was too bad it just wasn't as good to warrant a return. I stopped by around 11:30 and there were 2 other people waiting for their order. I didn't notice the order screen at first but nobody greeted me and nobody directed me to the order screen. After a few minutes of looking around I realized the screen was for ordering so I placed my order. I also noticed the kiosk doesn't have all the menu items on the board so I'm not sure if they even take orders in person? I would've liked to order one of the other sandwiches not on the screen, but I went with the grilled pork banh mi and a Lee's original coffee with half ice, totaled $17 after tax and tip. It only took about 5 minutes for my order to be ready as more people started coming in so the wait isn't bad. Both items just lack that classic delicious Vietnamese flavors and quality you typically find in their relative orders from other restaurants. The coffee was definitely strong with sugar but there wasn't enough coffee flavor, it was so rich in milk and sweetened condensed milk that it tasted more like a milkshake than a Vietnamese coffee. Maybe that's what Lee's is known for and although it wasn't particularly bad, it just wasn't what I hoped for. As for the sandwich, it was just okay. The bread didn't have that nice crunch and it was soft all around, but it did have good flavor. The pickled veggies were nice too. Unfortunately for the pork, although it had good flavors, it was way too fatty and grissly. There wasn't enough "meat" for the pork that was in this sandwich. And overall the flavors just seemed a bit mellow.

    Finally tried this spot for the first time! Oddly enough, I've had their Vietnamese iced coffee from Costco since they sell the frozen concentrated version, super good! Got here shortly after 5pm on a Monday, there was maybe like one other person. Parking is super small and I'm sure gets filled up fast with other businesses around. We got lucky with parking right up front! Walked in and tried ordering on their kiosk but they didn't have the Caramelized pork banh mi on there for whatever reason so we decided to just order with the cashier guy working. We sat down at an open table, good amount of seating and they had the news on the tv. Took about 10-15 minutes for our food and drinks to be ready and we took it to go to enjoy at home. The Thai tea with boba had too much cream in it, I prefer less to get more of the strong Thai tea flavor. The boba was good, surprisingly nice and chewy for a non-boba shop! I saved the iced Vietnamese coffee for the next morning to enjoy at work and absolutely loved it. Super strong but also perfect sweetness, would get it again, maybe even with boba! My bf's sandwich was unfortunately dry and a bit hard. I know these types of bread are kinda known for that but mine was perfect. I got the Caramelized pork bahn mi and they had enough spread and whatever else to make the bread soft! The pork was a bit too salty and didn't have that sweet flavor I'm used to from other bahn mi places. Still good and love that they put a hefty amount of pickled radish and carrots! Overall a great spot, would probably order some other stuff next time but would definitely come back. IG: @ammysalamii

    Good beef and Pork Bahn Mi
    Kevin B.

    My first time Yelping Lees Sandwiches in the San Fernando Valley. We have lots of Vietnamese Sandwich Shops in our home area of Orange County. Its nice whenever I visit the Valley, I can now find them here. I stopped here yesterday after a business meeting. I ordered 20 egg rolls with Shrimp Chicken and Pork. I also ordered 3 Bahn Mi Sandwiches with meatballs and beef. They have a huge menu of sandwiches, and other side orders of food. Ice coffees are good here too. I ordered one. Food is very cheap here, depending how much food you order. Nice spot to kick it at and eat. No outdoor seating. Parking can be a problem sometimes with the other businesses nearby. Service is always good, I love coming here whenever in town.

    Terrible

    THE WORST Lees I had so far. I had a bite and felt like I was eating bread with mayo inside. $11 isn't worth the quality or care. There's maybe 2oz of chicken inside. I went up to ask the aunty at the counter if that was normal...she said "yea there's plenty of chicken...see lots of chunks". Also the pickled cucumber is rancid or something. It has a super bitter taste. Bathrooms are out of order as well. Update: I weighed the chicken in the second un-bitten sandwich when I got home and there's barely 2oz of chicken. 1.80oz to be exact.

    Not worth $8

    I came specifically for the viral Biscoff iced coffee, and it was a massive waste of time and money. I placed my order at 12:33 PM and didn't receive the drink until 12:54 PM. For an $8.00 drink, it is a total rip-off--it's a tiny cup that is almost entirely ice and foam. The service was a joke. I was ignored at the counter, then told it would be a 15-minute wait, and then the employee completely forgot to make the drink while I was waiting for my sandwich. There is zero sense of urgency or professional management here. Do not fall for the TikTok hype; save your money and your time and go literally anywhere else.

    #2 #2. Pork Roll Sandwich
    Bianka G.

    Got the #2 - pork roll sandwich (Banh Mi) Sandwich is BIG on a 10" baguette and comes with - House Pickled (Daikon & Carrot), Onion, Jalapeno, Cilantro, Salt & Pepper, Soy Sauce, and House Mayonnaise Sandwich is filling and tasty. Bread can be a bit too hard at times. Sandwiche hits many flavor profiles- freshness from cilantro, heat from the jalapeños, sweet/sour from the pickled veg, saltiness from the soy sauce, fat from the mayo, and crunch from the onion. I think that covers it all!

    Vietnamese coffee (Biscoff)
    Emanuel U.

    Yes this location carries the Biscoff and banana pudding Vietnamese coffees! I'm so glad this Lee's exists in the valley and I wish there were more around here or else the next closest one is in Pasadena. I love that the inside of this Lee's feels very lush and how the workers have decorated it in a way where I feel like I'm in someone's home rather than an establishment. I also like that when you ask for light ice here they actually give you light ice. Most Vietnamese coffee shops when ordering Vietnamese coffee will tell you that they have to give you less coffee if you ask for less ice. Not here and they're awesome for that. Growing up in San Jose, I'm used to having Lee's Sandwiches locations everywhere around me. The only thing I wish is that this location had earlier opening hours. I'm used most Lee's opening at 6 or 7am while this one opens pretty late at 9am. I'd come more often if that were the case.

    Grilled pork Banh mi amazing $10
    Lost In A.

    Always love this location. Very consistent in their banh mi making. Love their grilled pork sandwich on the fresh French baguettes they bake lightly smudged with house mayo. Topped with jalapeños, cilantro, pickled carrots & daikon . So so good. All flavors work well together. Grab a fresh baguette on your way out. Don't skip on their iced coffee the best ever and I don't really drink coffee that's a lot coming from me!

She's been coming here since before they upgraded the space, and from what I understand it's run by brothers. The family is really nice, and it definitely has that local neighborhood spot feel. The main reason she brought me was for their **bún riêu**, but I have to be honest -- it didn't really taste like bún riêu to me. It was still good, but the broth had more of a tomato-y, clearer base and felt like its own soup rather than a true bún riêu. I was also surprised they didn't have **shrimp paste** available for it, which felt kind of odd. They do have **bánh bèo** and some other Vietnamese dishes, which I thought was cool, and overall everything we tried was okay. I've had a different soup from here before, and I've also gotten it delivered, and I'd say the experience is pretty much the same across the board -- decent, solid, nothing bad, but nothing that really stands out for me either. That said, I'd still come back because my girlfriend enjoys it, the family is sweet, and there aren't a ton of Vietnamese spots I've tried out in the Valley yet. It's one of those neighborhood places that's nice to have around, even if it's not something I'd personally go out of my way for.

Coming from a family who LITERALLY…read moreOWNS pho restaurants, I sympathize with the plight of an operation built on family recipes and hard work. And yet, the only way I can explain our experience today is that of a biblical level injustice. It was as if Judas himself returned to this mortal coil just to stab my friend and I in the eye and leave with our wallets. So here's the story: My vegetarian friend ordered A NUMBER 31: PHO CHAY. Now for those of you unseasoned pho aficionados (unlike me), that's means a vegetarian pho with VEGETARIAN broth. Additionally, the Pho Chay is marked as vegetarian in the menu. 5 minutes later, the waiter places a bowl of hot soup in front of him. Utterly ravenous from a previous night of lecherous debauchery, he eagerly digs in. As soon as he tastes the broth, however, a dismayed look flashes across his face. His supposedly quaint vegan broth had obviously been tainted by the soul of quivering chicken. Upon complaining that our PHO CHAY with vegetarian broth had actually come with CHICKEN BROTH, we proceeded to be the victim of such egregious levels of gaslighting that it can only be compared to that of medical gaslighting experienced by a middle aged women undergoing perimenopause. However, the server eventually gives in to his mistake. He offers a correction. But before he could abscond with the bowl, I asked him if he was planning to throw the meal away. He confirmed that indeed it would be tossed, so I asked if we could keep the original soup as I didn't want to waste food, and I personally have no qualms about eating meat. The server agrees and my friend receives his new bowl free of chicken cruelty. Now you may think, all is well! Cest La Vie right? Not so fast. Injustice imminent: As we went to pay the bill, we were promptly informed that in addition to screwing up our order, WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE BOWL OF UNWANTED CHICKEN PHO. Oh but wait! To add insult to injury, they told us it was 50% off. I was utterly flabbergasted. The 50% off gesture was so criminal it felt as if they had just taken a knife and STABBED US 46 TIMES, and felt kind enough to leave a wet napkin so we could wipe ourselves off. NEVER COMING BACK HERE AGAIN. Oh and side note, the food was terrible.

This "joint" we were introduced to by a Vietnamese colleague seemed so unique and magical! It was nothing fancy, the tables were perpetually sticky.. but every morsel we tasted was served with such pride, and it was delicious. That was then. This is now. The interior has since been renovated, the furniture updated and gone are the tables wrapped in shipping tape and cardboard to keep them steady. It looks nice! The small side area of the building where the aunties used to clean and prep the fresh veggies, basil, mint, cilantro.. is now a full up boba bar with a sweet smiling lady behind the counter. There were no less than 6 employees wandering in the dining area and not one addressed us when we walked in until we called out to them. I'm no royalty demanding to be served like a princess, but can you say HI and offer a table? They have at least a dozen tables in the dining room, and only 2 had patrons so they weren't busy. It was around 6:30pm so the dinner rush had passed. We needed to wait about 10-15 minutes for friends to arrive so we asked for menus, water and I ordered a salted Plum Soda which you can't really find at too many places outside of Orange County. It was refreshing on a hot day! I was shocked to see how abbreviated the menu had become. Out of the Pho So 1 locations we have been to, we always felt this one had more dishes to choose from including desserts. This menu looked shorter than the one in Granada Hills (on Devonshire) and when I asked one of the young ladies about the dishes I can come for, she shriveled her nose and said "we don't have that". In particular I wanted Bun Cha Ha Noi.. and was suggested to get Bun Thit Nuong as a substitute. Ok, they both have pork and both have a form of rice noodle, but that's where the similarities end. When our friends arrived, they sat down and immediately they wanted to take our orders. Friends asked for drinks and some time to peruse the menu. After a few more visits to take the meal order we finally made our decisions. The food came out quickly. This is always on point at the Pho So 1 locations. No complaints! But our friends had to ask again for their drink orders and got a little side eye. They asked nicely and were nothing but polite. This just didn't feel right. The experience was so lackluster I didn't even take any pics and if you've seen my other reviews, that's not me at all. Am I spoiled because I've been exposed "the good stuff" in our adventures to San Gabriel Valley? Maybe. But I'd still go back to the Pho So 1 spots in Gardena (the guy who manages there is amazing and should give lessons!) and Granada Hills (Devonshire, not the newer one on Chatsworth which was also disappointing). Leaving this here so my fond old memories don't bring me back to this spot in Reseda. 30+ years later, there are a lot of other choices to satisfy the need for Vietnamese food.

Not too dense or thick - just the right crisp and airy bread to filling ratio that you want in a banh mi! You can also buy baguettes to take home. Back in the day they were 3 for $1! Yup, apparently I'm that old... today they're a couple of bucks, but still worth it. Sorry I failed to take pics of my sandwich when it was freshly made, I was just so excited to go back in time to this little corner of Reseda that looks like it hasn't changed! The photo shown is the next day.. and that's only HaLF of the sandwich! The lady at the counter was so sweet! Don't assume rudeness for challenges with communication. I was nice and she was kind in return. There's a language barrier and at first she was shy, but once we worked through the English-Vietnamese translations with the help of Google, I was able to ask her if they sell Kho Ga La Chanh (Chicken Jerky) - and she ran excitedly to the back and produced a sealed bag of their homemade jerky! Not the same flavor profile as the stuff I buy in San Gabriel Valley, but it's a start! I'll bring them a sample the next time I get a batch to see if they can mimic the sweet spice. Theirs is a little more "five spice" forward. I placed my order for a #1 "Dac Biet" sandwich, "extra pâté, extra veggies". That's my default sammie by which I judge all Bánh Mi and I'm here to say that even a day later, right out of my fridge it's still THE best Banh Mi in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys! Bright, fresh, generously filled.. and the magic bread. I happen to know that a local chain of popular phô restaurants buys their bahn (rolls) daily from Sandwich Express to make their own sandwiches and to serve with their Bho Ko (stew)! If you're wondering for reference where my bar is set, my go-to banh mi spots in San Gabriel Valley are Bánh Mi Hue Thai and Banh Mi Hoa Phat. ~IYKYK~ What has changed at Sandwich Express? It's not just sandwiches anymore AND they have a few tables inside where you can sit down to eat! They don't have my beloved Soda Xí Muội (salted plum soda) or the lime version either. Just canned and bottled American sodas, but that's not a deal breaker. Check out the posted menu pics. Bún Bò Huě, Bò Kho.. the owner did suggest calling first to make sure these items are available on the day you want to come, but she boasts that it's very authentic! They even have broken rice dishes with grilled pork chop (Cóm Tãm Súòn)! I read in another review that the original owners sold. I don't know if this is accurate or when it happened.. but I didn't see the older people that were often in the kitchen so it's possible! Back to the changes - they have desserts now, too! They also cater! What?!? No longer cash only, they accept Visa/Mastercard. I'm so glad we stopped! They still hold the #1 spot in the area. Convince me otherwise!

    We had a very disappointing experience with this store, both in terms of food quality and customer…read moreservice. We have been loyal customers for over 10 years and frequently order the beef sandwich and pâté. Yesterday, we ordered two beef sandwiches and one pâté. Since we live only 8-10 minutes away, we returned home immediately after picking up the order. When I started eating, I noticed that the pâté tasted very sour and spoiled. Unfortunately, I had already mixed part of it with my rice, so I had to throw it away. We called the store right away to report the issue, and they told us we could bring the pâté back the next day. Today, we returned to the store. We did not request a refund--we simply wanted to exchange the item and were willing to pay the difference for a beef sandwich instead. However, the staff member we spoke with was very rude and accused us of lying, claiming that we had eaten the pâté. We explained that we had to discard it since it was mixed with rice and even showed a photo that we throw it in to the trash, but she continued to question our honesty. In the past, we have had positive experiences with previous staff, and the owners have always been kind. Unfortunately, this particular employee demonstrated very poor customer service and made the situation unnecessarily unpleasant. An apology would have been appropriate. The employee declined to provide her name and appeared hesitant. She is a newer staff member, approximately in her 50s, and spoke incessantly while repeatedly blaming us for the situation. This is not about the cost--the amount is small. It is about how customers are treated. While this issue could have been escalated further, including reporting to the health department, we chose not to. What we expect instead is for the store to ensure proper food quality and provide better TRAINING for staff. Due to this experience, we will not be returning and will share our experience with others.
