Ok call me crazy, but just hear me out (read actually) walked in. ordered a spring roll. then i was told "we only make a set amount per day and once they are sold out they are sold out" SO...tell me how one can order Uber Eats, Grubhub, etc etc etc. even Yelp has an option to order. see picture attached. what if they ordered on Uber Eats and the spring rolls were sold out? you aren't going to make more? what if someone came in and wanted $100 worth? gonna lose that money? because you dob't make more? dumb. cashier was cool. it's management that probably needs to change. read more

Lee's Sandwiches - Vietnamese Near Me - LongBeach, California

I like this location in particular because it's within my area. The vietnamese coffee and sandwiches are great. I wouldn't recommend any of the European sandwiches. This place has daily specials that'll save you a couple bucks. read more

Stupid, stupid, stupid! Sorry, I'm not one for name calling or venting angry outbursts like this but this time it deserves it! So I walk in at 6:45pm and ask for baguettes and the lady behind the counter (glasses, brunette) tells me "we don't have anymore, it'll be ready in 15 minutes." So I go back to my car and wait, 15 minutes later I walk back in and the same lady tells me "we're closed." Really?! Really?! At least have the decency to tell me the truth and not lie to my face! I will NEVER, EVER go back to this Lee's! I was a full supporter of them ever since they opened their first location way back in the day in Westminster but this place sucks! Go at your own risk.

Skimpy iced coffee pictured on the left . Asked for light ice so it wasn't filled to the top. So as Lil Dicky says 'tell me how much the ice cubes worth?' In that case I want a refund on my ice cubes. read more

Love this place but the open sign is on half off the time and they aren't open. I still will show up even if I'm destined to have my heart broken. read more

My first time here, I did not read the review because I didn't want to get persuaded so in my honest opinion the breakfast sandwich was mediocre.it was small and for 6$ it didn't cut it for me. I would not be coming back for another sandwich. I will however come back to try a coffee next time, as I just read many people love it. The store itself seemed clean, the guy at the front register seemed tired, so my overall experience was a 3 out of 5. I give the 3 stars to the bacon as it was crispy and I love that!!! read more

So I got an email from Lee's with the subject "Lee's Sandwiches Long Beach Cherry Now Open". http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hXR4JnRtYtn22hLK295uyw?select=MHLQ7H_N2jlsGSfWcGxBuA I was on my way home from work and this location is totally out of my way, but I suddenly got the craving for a fresh baguette and a sandwich from Lee's (not my favorite banh mi place, but it's decent). So I drove to the new location...only to find this email was a lie! There were people inside and the door was wide open, so I walked in and asked them if they were open. There were two guys talking, one on a computer, and I told them I had just received an email saying they were open. I even told them that I was excited that they were open and that's why I drove all the way over. I guess I was looking for some explanation or apology for the premature email. I just got the "we open tomorrow" response like I should know better. I went out to my car and looked at the email again. It clearly says NOW OPEN, but there is some fine print at the bottom saying they open the next day. I read fine print when it comes to special deals, but not when a place says they are now open! At least I know I'm not the only one who had this happen; in the minute or two I spent in my car, I saw several others pull in and then leave, including a girl who sat there looking at her phone, likely re-reading the email like I had. Whoever sent this early email screwed up and should have sent a correction. I guess someone who works there has a problem with being PREMATURE. lol... I'm kind of wondering if it was one of the guys sitting there. The two stars is for their mistake and failure to handle it better. I was really happy to hear they were open since they have cheap baguettes and are close to the freeway, but now I'm not sure if I will be back. read more

Terrible service. The younger heavy set lady at the counter upon me and my friends arriving didn't seem approachable. She said nothing but gave dirty looks and rolled her eyes every time we put in a order for something that they didn't have and got upset. How are we supposed to know!? a heads up would be nice, I felt uncomfortable and didn't put in a order because she was just rude. Before I left I let her know how rude she was and it's no wonder this location dosent get business anymore. She rolled her eyes once again and I left before I said anything out of character. Definitely not coming back here but by the looks of it, it doesn't seem like much people come back now and days anyway. read more

Let's talk sandwiches! And this spot specifically!! I absolutely adore this place! If someone asked me to survive off one sandwich for the rest of my life, it would be their Banh Mi Grilled Pork (their #5) Love their BBQ one too but the grilled pork is too good. It's a really good ratio of veggies and pork. You can tell the baguettes are fresh which I think makes a sandwich top notch. They are not the bulkiest sandwiches which I don't mind since I get full fast (so buy two if you don't get full easily). I like to accompany it with a smoothie with boba. Love their taro and just tried their lychee one which is also super good. Take note that there are jalapeño slices in the sandwich for those who can't tolerate spicy food. I think it adds a great kick to the sandwich and with the smoothie, it balances it out. Highly recommend it! Still exploring their menu as they have pastries and other sandwiches which also look really good. They also have macaroons and also other goodies. They have a snack section. They have these Pia Cakes filled with different things like taro and durian. If you're into sweet bean foods, this one will be up your alley! I went to another Lee's Sandwich in Bellflower and noticed that not all locations carry the same snacks but I still left with something! I don't drink coffee but had a slurp of my bf's iced mocha and it was supreme!! They do fill the cup up with ice so if you don't want that much, let them know. Anyways, love love LOVE this spot!! Check them out, you won't regret it. read more

The sandwich special was so bland with barely and pate or butter. The restroom was beyond filthy that looked like it hasn't been cleaned in years. The appearance was of the whole inside was nasty dirty. Make you wonder about how their kitchen is. Gross beyond any other locations they have. read more

I hate to leave a one-star review, but it is definitely warranted here. I've been ordering sandwiches from these people at this location on Cherry Ave. in Long Beach (just south of 91 frwy) for over a year. I've ordered the exact same sandwich with the same side notes every single time, through Postmates. There were issues in the past when hardly any avocado was on the sandwiches at all, or my notes say no cheese and no mayonaise but they were added a couple times. I called and spoke to the Mgr. and explained that if they just read my notes I'm clear on what I want as I'm vegan. Manager was very helpful, apologetic, and said it would not happen again. So I thought all was good. Today I order the sandwiches, same notes as I've always used, and I get a text about the order that I need to modify it within 10 minutes or it will be cancelled. I called the location and the person that answered the phone informs me that they would have to charge me extra for pepperocinis!!!!!!????!!!!!!! What?????? Never an issue before and why in the world would you receive an extra charge for peppers??????? Girl said she didn't know why I wasn't charged more prior to this for the peppers and I got so angry I told her to cancel the order - that this was getting ridiculous! So now they lost a sale, lost a repeat customer, and Postmates lost the sale. For what? I will NEVER order from these people again. When you nickel and dime people for this crap you lose business. Goodbye. read more

Terrible service. RUDE and dirty inside. Their Sandwhiches weren't as tasty as the others I visited. Just don't go to this one

Thankfully lees sandwhich is here for their famous iced Vietnamese coffee! Always friendly staff and fast service!

Really disappointed with this location. Went in to pick up a free sandwich for COVID-19 for nurses and apparently they have an unadvertised limit of 15 sandwiches a day when clearly there's no mention on their website. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS during these times if they merely lure in nurses for click bait. read more

Coffees are good, sandwiches are good... Would it kill your staff to smile and greet the customers politely.

Coffee is always a must here for me or perks me right up and always delicious. Love the pork pate my favorite when it's available. Sandwiches not so much anymore I feel like they barely put any meat so I'm just eating pickled veggies rather just get their fresh French bread and make it at home instead. Crispy chicken wings and egg rolls aren't to bad either for the price. read more

Lee's Sandwiches - Grilled Chicken Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - LongBeach, California

Ratchet place . I wanted to return to throw this burnt crap back on Their counter , but I figured a review would be better -or not. I thought twice prior to going, but against my better judgment I wanted something ' quick ' and hoped this experience would be better . The Vietnamese coconut waffles should be crispy and chewy . This joker sells them burnt and hard! Just nasty and a rip off to do that. The baguette bread from lee's franchise is good when it's hot and fresh and so are the sandwiches . From this place - the spring rolls , the Chinese buns and the burnt waffles are not . No one should have to inspect their food before leaving . Food should be edible and not burnt . The owner usually tends as the cashier in the morning , so she knows what she is serving and ripping people off! She is a very rude and disgusting person . She starts taking the next persons order before you can pickup your change off the counter! She tries to get you out as quick as possible . The employees handle food and money with their hands at the same time . read more

Whoa. This place is awful. Id avoid. Why avoid? I came in for a standard Lee coffee. I have had hundreds of these in my life. I take two tiny sips out of my cafe and the whole thing is gone. Now the obvious rebuttal is that I clearly do not know whats in the standard cafe. But alas I have had tons and tons of these. This place skimps like no other on the portions. Anyways I'd avoid and go to a real Lee's. read more

Ordered 2 vegetarian sandwich with extra veggies and was charged for the extra veggies and behold ended up with a plain veggie (minimal mind you) sandwich. I live in long beach and city of orange, orange county and prang County they give you the extra veggies. Matter of fact it overfills the sandwich and I guess I expected that on these two sandwich..i guess not all lees sandwich places same... well I won't be coming to this place and by the way this wasn't the first time that my order was incorrect I ordered 12 shrimp rolls and it to was missing some ingredients read more

I go here for Thai Tea...however I somehow get double ice flavored like Thai tea... see the picture. I drank my last drink in 3 solid sips... I realized that it was filled with both block ice and crushed ice??? Why so much ice??? I have visited this store over 20 times and this last time just really pissed me off... no I didn't complain I just felt like the big dummy because I kept going back. Food is ok but the iced teas are just ICE with a dash of tea These are the before and after I drank it...3 solid sips and it was filled with double ice (see pictures) save money don't order the Thai tea here it's 90% crushed and block ice read more

Whenever I didn't get enough sleep or I'm anticipating a really long day at work, I stop by Lee's to get an iced coffee. It's the best Vietnamese coffee I've ever had. It's really strong, but creamy. It gives me a boost of energy. As for the food items, I like their European sandwiches, you can order it on a baguette or croissant. Their pork & shrimp egg rolls are also delicious. They used to sell the best baked ham and cheese sandwich, which has been discontinued for a while now. I don't know why, but they need to put this back on the menu! Also, I noticed that their croissants are not as fluffy and flaky as they used to be. Customer service is good. You can also call in your order. They are very quick, which is a plus for me since I am always in a hurry in the morning. read more

The sandwiches were so tasty and fresh. Their rolls are handmade and so soft on the inside yet crunchy on the outside. Not only are their sandwiches good but their Thai iced tea and boba made the kids fall in love. It's worth it, even dealing with the small parking lot problem. read more

Would leave zero stars if possible, staff is always unfriendly and never acknowledges you until they actually take your order. Normally i don't mind, but today i asked for an iced coffee with light ice and the cup was about 2 inches short from the top. When i asked if she could fill it up more she refused and said no i can only add more ice. This is my local Lees and come here quite frequently among other locations and have never have had an issue when asking for light ice. After reading the business managers reply, perhaps training your staff on proper customer service and explanations would help, regardless. It was a waste of my time walking into this location to get an iced coffee when i always ask for light ice and have light ice and my cup filled to the top. Thanks for wasting my time! read more

Nice inside. Nice staff. But second time here, years apart, and they still serve the skimpiest sandwiches. All bread. Barely any meat. No cucumber at all. No Cilantro. Disappointed. Nothing like the one in San Jose. Won't be back a 3rd time. read more

Five stars for the iced coffee. We all know it WORKS. But zero for everything else. First, the cashier handed my fiancé 5 dollars more back in change than he was owed so he did the right thing and handed it back. Unfortunately this apparently threw off the cashier because she spent another two minutes trying to do the math to give him the correct change. Smh This Lee's was playing some weird cover songs album and I swear I was about to lose my mind. But we had a good laugh about it. Our food was ready but she refused to address my fiance (who paid and ordered) and just began yelling "maam. Maam" across the store until I realized she was trying to get my attention to get the food. Mind you, my fiance was seated at the same table I was... just weird. We finally got our food and my salami baguette sandwich had ONE slice of salami on each half. I was cracking up because we just got got and paid 6 dollars for half a baguette filled with a slice of cheese, a slice of salami and some lettuce. Im thankful I find crappy situations comical. This was my first visit to this Lee's. Also the last to this location. read more

What to say about the circus on Cherry Avenue, except this place wasn't your average circus, it was a Lee's Sandwich franchise and the lady who runs it was the lead clown. Food, skimpy. No other words to explain this, there was exactly 12 pieces of pickled veggies, 3 very thin slices of jalapeños, 2 small branches of Cilantro and a astronomical number of 3 sliced onions. I ordered 2 sandwiches, and it was precisely counted as such for both sandwiches. First of all, why the hell are you counting so small and charging an upwards of $5 for the sandwich? I could go to a Subway and ask for 30x the amount of content that is put in a sandwich at half the price. What a freaking disgrace, the lady who runs this circus is definitely a stingy clown at that. Coffee, another one word summary: atrocious. It's about $5 for their largest cup, and they do not hesitate to sell you a cup of ice with coffee that my daughter wouldn't be effected from. Go to the 7-11 next door and get their 2 for $5 Starbuck Frappucino bottles, it would be about 3x the amount of coffee that they serve you in this circus. A damn shame, and an embarrassment. I have but two questions to ask this owner, why the hell did you allow this monstrosity to happen? And second, how do you sleep at night knowing that you are literally ripping people off at a place that's supposed to be a cut above other banh mi places. My honest advice to this owner would be to just shut the store down, and repent for your sins for letting the circus happen to your restaurant. My honest advice to other patrons, turn away and go somewhere else. read more

Lee's Sandwiches... what can you really write about a place that has 100 or so locations (my rough estimate, probably not very accurate). This location is easily accessible from the expressway and has entrances on both Cherry and Artesia. Most of the vehicle traffic for this small strip mall is attributable to Lee's. Once you are inside, the staff here is very friendly and helpful, they have all of the same great drinks that are prepared with the same consistency as other Lee's locations, and the banh mi sandwiches that you expect from Lee's are offered and made with the same level of care and attention. As an added bonus, this location accepts credit and debit cards! *****FIVE STARS***** read more

Always friendly and easy to stop at on my way to work. Have been coming here for all of my needs. For parties, etc. love this Lees!

Got the breakfast ham and cheese croissant, ( 2 deli slices of ham, 1 slice of American cheese chilled and sliced into two halves )which was of such little quality. the cheese had a taste very equal to a ham and cheese hot pocket, the croissant had a crunchy flakey dry consistency how can something so simple end tragic smh I am disappointed and will never return here again. read more
