This is not good. I feel so sad to see a Lee's sandwich so terrible. I am embarrassed for them as a Vietnamese person that this is what they call a banh mi and what they have to show for. The daikon and carrots are super thick (supposed to be thin and shredded) and for some reason they also add white onion as garnish as well. The bread is so chewy and super thin( not fluffy and airy like a baguette) . Honestly, if I had this somewhere deep in a Mexico all inclusive resort trying to emulate a banh mi - it would be acceptable. But to receive this from another Vietnamese lady is so disappointing. read more

ORDER pork roll banh mi (2/5) 3 is a very generous rating, but im giving them the benefit of the doubt. the picture speaks for itself. for almost $9, i expected more than half a smear of pate... i asked for veggies on the side, but i mean just look at the picture again. the banh mi just tasted like soy sauce and baguette. so disappointing :') SERVICE very quick! AMBIANCE very spacious inside. plenty of parking. read more

Coffee is great but this local is like an abandoned location. No AC. Empty shelves. Half empty fridge. Over 100 degrees inside. Wilted plant in the corner wilted people behind the register. read more

They're open early and it was perfect for a quick food pick up for a gathering. Party platters are available. Placed an order over the phone and it was ready when I arrived. Packaged ready to go. Parking in the back of the store with back entrance. Staff were very nice and welcoming friendly. Inside was clean and well organized. Large space for a group to gather. Would definitely return especially when having a party. read more

Lee's Sandwiches - Biscoff coffee - Vietnamese Near Me - Riverside, California

the iced coffee was very delicious but the location is sketchy and made me feel unsafe. But 10/10 coffee

Only went in to try the "new" coffees, I got the biscoff one , turns out the coffee is the same as their traditional coffee they just add foam and crumbled cookies. The coffee is still great but I wish they would incorporate the flavor with the actual coffee. read more

I heard Lee's sandwich sells the pate by itself and i purchase one. It was $10 for 8 Oz of pate which seem kinda pricey but I dont know how much they typically go for. I was surprised when they gave it to me in a ham container which I think they use for their ham sandwich. I guess they dont have a dedicated container but I assume it is clean so not that big of a deal. On way home just out of curiosity I visited another Lee's sandwich on Van Buren right off the 91 and discovered they sell theirs for $3.99! When I told the cashier about how much the other location sells their, she was taken aback too. Now i understand all the negative reviews with them being real stingy on their pate. I would recommend everyone to visit the van Buren location over this place if they can. read more

My 2nd time here at Lee's and because my mom was craving their sesame balls so we made sure to order 18 - 3 of their 6 balls. It's sooooo good! I will be back just for these balls. Hubby got the #81 and these baguettes are sooo delicious, crispy and warm. And it was the 2nd time I got their banana pudding coffee. It has slices of banana, crushed up graham crackers and homemade whip cream. read more

I've loved Lee's for years at many different locations. Today I went to the Riverside location. I ordered a vegetarian grinder. Got to the middle of the sub. They put about two bites of meat at the bottom of the sub. It seemed very intentional. Never going back to any location.. read more

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

Honestly, this location is rough. The place feels run down--broken windows, lights barely on inside, and it just doesn't look well-kept. Every time I've gone, they're out of most items, so your options are extremely limited. The service doesn't help either--the employee is usually on the phone having a personal conversation instead of helping customers. Unless you're just grabbing a sandwich or coffee (and even that's a maybe), I wouldn't recommend coming here. Not sure how this place is still in business. read more

Sandwiches are good coffee is good however I don't have one near me so I drove to this one on my way somewhere what a disappointment if I would have looked around before I ordered I would not hate heavy in here from the door to the seats to the table just dirty the ceiling how the hell do they have an a rating from the health inspector there is no way do not put your children in the high chairs they are disgusting none of the tables were cleaned off I have to put napkins down before I could eat the upholsteries are dirty on the seats all the windows have dust on them even when you sit down it's just Dusty this place needs a serious cleaning I don't even want to think about what's going on in the kitchen and then I just finished my sandwich read more

If I could afford it, I'd eat at this Lee's every single day until the end of time--no exaggeration. Their sandwiches? Perfection. Their coffee? A spiritual experience. Strong, sweet, and that soft top? Life-changing. I don't even fully understand what's in it, but I know I need it to survive. This particular Lee's is the one. Not every location hits the same, and believe me, I've tried others. But this spot? It gets it right every time. The bread is always fresh and the balance of flavors in their sandwiches is basically a love letter to my taste buds. This is my go-to place, my comfort spot, my "treat myself" moment when I'm having a bad day--or a good day--or just a day. If you're lucky enough to live near this location, do yourself a favor and make it your regular. I swear there's magic in that coffee. Real ones know. read more

Can we give a place a negative 10? This particular location is straight trash. Door is busted. It stinks inside. It's dirty. I ordered a LARGE iced coffee. Got to my car and started emptying some of the ice out. By the time I emptied SOME of the ice, my cup was already down to 1/3 full and I hadn't even gotten through the ice or taken a sip. I go back inside and ask them to fill it some more and they refuse. I said well give me a refund. It hadn't even been 3 minutes since i left. They refused that as well. I asked a manager. He came over and didn't speak a WORD of English. So I told them to give me a refund or I'm calling the police. That's ridiculous! These people are hoodwinking my community. Don't patronize this location. They are crooks. Straight up. This is a warning. This location is DISGUSTING. Fix your door and sweep and mop and wipe the countertops down!!! read more

We order from here quite frequently to have it delivered to the hospital I work at and the original coffee is usually the best thing they have! I am split though as our first couple orders the coffee was top tier and the sandwiches were so fresh and delightful! But our last order the coffee tasted burnt and the sandwich's were not made the same as they previously were. Mine in particular was made on a different bread the second time which took away from the bahn mi flavor. This is upsetting with how much we spend here. I probably would order the coffee again but I won't chance getting another sub par sandwhich for the price. Even my coworkers were disappointed the second time around ordering food. The pictures provided were from the first order which were phenomenal but second time the lettuce was old, bread was different and they were much smaller. read more

I'd always passed by and decided to try after work; I was so surprised at how fast everything was! Staff was super lovely! I'd arrived during a weekday midnoon so there hadn't been many customers at once! Cute ambiance.... Spacious too!!! I got the #12 and a Thai tea! It was a nice treat, I'd definitely consider bringing these on a hike sometime; the bánh mì was refreshing(and surprisingly the jalapeños were spicy omg) read more

The store looked like it had been robbed. One of the glass doors was broken and covered by wood. The seating area has lots of tables and chairs to sit inside. All the racks were empty and there was barely anything in the food warmer where they have their egg rolls, banh baos, and pate pastries. The cooler had a few of their ice coffees. There were only two staff working in there. The girl taking the orders and getting the food to guests. The guy back there making the sandwiches and drinks. We didn't have to wait long for the food. We decided to eat there which was a big mistake. While we sat eating, within an hour, we saw 2 roaches. One was lying upside down moving by the sign. My friend discreetly told the guy in Vietnamese about the roach and he waited till everyone was served and brought a broom and pan to scoop it up. He said thank you and walked away. We felt sick and didn't want to eat anymore. Then we saw the second roach crawling around the back door and we decided it was time to go. I don't think this store is going to survive if it continues to go downhill. I'm so sad that this place has changed since they opened. There aren't that many Lee's Sandwiches anymore, so it's really sad to see it go downhill. read more

Ordered a combo sandwich, it had 1 piece of meat from each selection, so a total of 3 slices of meat. I will never order here again

Haven't been here in a while but I went today and I'm honestly trying to figure out if they're lacking in quality and quantity. I feel like the banh mi didn't have much meat at all every bite was just a mouth full of the veggies. Kinda disappointed I hope this place doesn't go downhill. read more

My dad stopped by this Lee's Sandwiches and ordered seven egg and cheese croissant sandwiches along with three coffees, expecting the same quality we had enjoyed at a hotel near Disneyland. Unfortunately, this visit was really disappointing. As you can see from the photo, all seven sandwiches were completely different sizes, and one was shockingly small compared to the others. The inconsistency was ridiculous--how do you mess up the size of the same sandwich that badly? On the plus side, the coffee was good, but that's about it. We expected better quality control from a well-known chain, and this just wasn't it. We won't be coming back to this location. read more

Pulled up to the location around 7:35pm on a Monday night thinking I had plenty of time to get a sandwich before they close at 8pm. As I pull up right in front I see all their lights on including their open sign on. The second I put my car in park a heavyset younger guy with glasses comes up to the door and locks it. I flash my lights and open my door and he opens the door and says, "Are you coming to Lee's?" I said yes and he says that they're closed. I say, "Don't you close at 8?" He says, "Yes we close at 8." I say, "It's not even 7:40." and he says, "We're closed. We sold out of everything." I know damn well there's no way that they sold out of every single piece of bread, meat, veggie, etc. If you want to leave early, just say that. This is horrible customer service and a horrible way to run a business. If you are closing, turn your big ass sign in front of your store that's flashing "OPEN". read more

Walked into this store and we thought it got robbed, empty shelves and bare counters, we thought they were closed. Ordered a couple drinks and egg rolls, the workers were talking or arguing very loud, not a great ambiance. Had to leave, I was getting a headache. Next time we will try going to the Van Buren location. read more

We stopped by for a late lunch after studying next door. I've tried their bottled iced coffees before but this was my first time trying their banh mis. The space is surprisingly large and there is plenty of seating. I noticed a lot of people grabbed food to go though. Service was pretty subpar. The employees were very short with us and definitely not the most approachable. I ordered the combination banh mi, which contained an assortment of cold cuts. It wasn't anything very special. It looks deceivingly large, but the baguette isn't as thick as other banh mis I've had. The fillings were pretty standard. I liked how many pickled veggies they included, but there was not a lot of meat. Their sign claims they bake fresh baguettes every 30 minutes but the bread was cold and tasted like bread I could buy from a grocery store (which probably would've tasted better because I could at least toast it at home). For $7-8 it's decent and it's a perfectly fine option if you're looking for something convenient. I don't think I will be coming again, and would much prefer to get a banh mi from small, local Vietnamese restaurants since they would probably be more authentic and fresh. I'm usually pretty skeptical about the authenticity and quality of food when it comes from a large chain like this. For the same price you can definitely find better banh mi. read more

Coffee is a 10/10 and doesn't disappoint! The sandwiches are very good and satisfying!

I go to Lee's sandwiches all the time different locations or barbecue pork sandwich is to die for but this time in downtown recite I asked him what would be a nice change from the barbecue pork sandwich. He told me they have really good ground beef sandwich called a pate sandwich sounded good enough to me so I went ahead and bought it when I got that sandwich(by the way I also ordered five more sandwich sandwiches) took a bite. It tasted so putrid so salty and strong. It made me instantly gag right there in the restaurant open a sandwich and so that the vegetables were soggy no crunch and I know the meat tasted bad. It was rotten tasted like a rotting fish sandwich. It was really disgusting and when I told him about it, he gave me such a rude attitude face and shrugged his shoulders and said you just don't like the taste there's nothing I can do about that. I spent $55 and told them that this sandwich was not edible but he kept insisting there's nothing wrong with the sandwich. It's not his fault I don't like the way it taste. and with attitude, he said if there's nothing else I can help you with as his hand pointed at the door. He was so rude and disrespectful. That's not how customer service should be this is the second time I've been there with this exact same employee just so disrespectful he was. So I will never go back to leave sandwiches on university Avenue again and if I were you, I wouldn't go either unless you like to feel belittled. read more
