This is the best Lee's location! The sandwich selection and ingredients are better than the other locations I've visited. The cashier was extremely nice too. The wait on this particular visit was pretty long, and I wonder if it's always this slow. But when the sandwiches arrrived, it was well worth the wait. I ordered baguettes to go too... hot, fresh and HUGE. They're only $2.50 each! I also noticed others coming in just for the drinks, and they looked really good. Parking sucks but that's because it's downtown SJ. I recommend coming early on a weekend and hope there's a free open spot on the street. Otherwise you gotta pay the meter on weekdays or hit up a parking garage. read more

You always know what you are going to get when going to Lee's sandwich's. The people here are always pretty friendly, there's two locations downtown, but I like to go to this one because it's less busy. Always known for their good bread for their sandwiches. Every once in a while, I'll pick up a spring roll which is usually pretty decent. read more

I stopped by Lee's sandwiches since I had to be at SJSU and it is close by. I wanted something filling and saw sandwiches in the name and instantly craved a banh mi. I'm pretty familiar with Vietnamese cuisine since there are a lot of restaurants in San Francisco so I had an idea what to order. I hot a banh mi bowl instead which included fresh veggies, brown rice, and caramelized steak as seen in the photo. The side sauce was great! I only wish that they included more meat to be proportionate to the veggies, but otherwise it was tasty! A great quick bite place if you're in the area. read more

The iconic Ban Mí sandwich shop serving millions of people from the Southern California all over now comes to the Silicon Valley's downtown area with four new franchises and great products and consistent quality with very little change in the tastes that are expected from the best Ban Mí sandwich shops all around. The clean shop front and no nonsense service with fast and delicious food with prices none can match. I had chicken pork spicy sandwich with everything on it. Compared with any other subway sandwich, the bread alone was enough to knock out any other competition. The French Baguette is by far the best anywhere! Do try it. You will be surprised. read more

Came in almost every morning for Fanime weekend and was a solid experience every time. A bit of a wait since it was busy, but food still came pretty quick. A small spot in downtown near campus, there's a few tables both in and outside. Space is clean, nicely designed, and has plenty of options. The Vietnamese coffee was pretty standard, but the breakfast croissant was my favorite. It was flaky, warm, and tasty. Came back basically everyday for it! There's also other hot and prepared food, so it's a great spot to grab something quick to eat. read more

On the same street as the convention center, we grabbed some lunch from Lee's including chicken yakitori and bbq chicken spring rolls. It was nice to be able to easily find this kind of food. I haven't seen yakitori since I was a kid! We got takeout, so I can't speak to the service. Definitely go back for yakitori! read more

The 5 stars is for having the most unusual faucet in downtown San Jose. Water comes out of it for washing. Then air comes out of it for drying. It looks like a Tesla steering wheel is over the sink. See picture below: I noticed that sometimes the bread here is not as crispy as the bread from over by Grocery Outlet, but this location seems cleaner. The staff did an excellent job of helping first-timers from the hotels with their orders. read more

Lees sandwhiches in DT San Jose isn't much. The store is bright and clean with few tables and high top wall seating and menu has a lot of options from breakfast sandwhiches, stew and bahn mi. The bahn mi are more of your American sandwhich option, think turkey, roast beef and not pate like your traditional bahn mi. For $10.xx it really wasn't good. No cilantro or jalapeños, only few slices of meat. Order at the counter and wait for your food. Street parking only read more

Lee's is always a reminder of my college days back when banh mi was about $3 - $5 and life was a lot simpler. I wasn't originally planing on grabbing a sandwich until I noticed an entirely new, vegan menu. Damn, they got me gal - all $16 of my vegan chicken katsu banh mi. Their sandwich was just as I remembered. Fried mock chicken katsu with pickled veggies, jalapeños, and cilantro tucked inside a toasty baguette. I honestly can't remember if there was an actual spread inside since I ordered the vegan option, but it was still a good enough sandwich. I'm surprised to see that they offer mock meats now but it was definitely worth a try. For the price though, I likely won't be returning anytime soon. I don't know if I can justify spending nearly $20 on a sandwich again that used to cost me less than $10, even with how crazy inflation has been over the years. read more

Lee's Sandwich Shop definitely delivers when it comes to flavor--sandwiches looked fresh and were packed with tasty ingredients, made to order. You can tell they care about quality. However, the experience was held back by a long wait due to not enough staff on hand. It took quite a while to get my order, over 30 min for just one sandwich, which made the visit less enjoyable. I was ready to give 5 stars, but service matters--so it's a 4-star for now. Hope they can improve on that front, because the food is worth coming back for! read more

Super convenient location downtown near SJSU. Fairly new, so it's very clean and the service is quick and friendly. Been here a few times now and it's been very consistent. I usually get the grilled pork banh mi and always ask for extra pickled veggies, cucumber, and cilantro. Also highly recommend the eggrolls since they're always hot and crispy- the shrimp one is the best! read more

Came here at 6pm on a Friday before an event and they were closed. Pretty disappointed. It says 7pm

As the very old expression goes "color me" surprised. My daughter has eaten here before and she suggested we try Lee's. I expected something akin to a Subway sandwich, but there's literally zero about Lee's that resembles any sandwich shop I've tried. The woman behind the counter took the time to explain anything we asked about, and suggested a few things to try. I was delighted and after lunch I wished there was something like Lee's where I live in San Diego. I ambiance was open and bright with no decorative touches, but the vibe totally matched the menu. I'll be back next time I'm in town, amazing sandwiches. read more

I walked by the restaurant with my bf. It was literally a few minutes walk from SJSU garage. So it is convenient and close for college students. We were aiming to visit a SJmade event, and passed by and decided to stop and order a sandwhich and drink for breakfast. I ordered a char siu bahn mi and a passion fruit juice. Both was huge and worth the expensive price. I ended up wrapping up half the bahn mi to save for later. It was a convenient and filling. I'd come back. read more

Had a great experience here at Lee's Sandwiches. This isn't your typical Lee's Sandwiches. The store is very modern and the menu is larger than the usual stores. I thought the service was amazing and I got my banh mi in around 5-7 minutes. With this shop being right next to San Jose State, it gets super crowded during lunch times, but I love how lively it gets. All of the ingredients are fresh and I love how much pate they put in the sandwiches. Definitely recommend if you're hanging out in downtown! read more

Incredible pork belly and chicken banh mi. Definitely coming back here for the Thai tea, as well.

I love here, the loaded sandwiches is my fav. Loved coming here as a customer. The food doesn't have the crisp as daves hot or howlin rays but still a little bit solid spot read more

YAY! It finally opened. Loved how clean, modern this location was. The menu is pretty standard across all Lee's so you what to expect here. Service: Staff were friendly and attentive. Food: Nothing different than the usual which is comforting. That's what I like most about Lee's. I had just came from a workout so I got the avocado smoothie and a sesame ball. Looking forward to many more visits! read more

I enjoy egg rolls! they are great! I work across the street so it's a no brainer to enjoy them here! But egg rolls at this location are the worst. They sit under a heat lamp so why in the world are they soggy in the bottom. It's because the employees during the day don't care! Buyers beware read more

I like that this location actually has the vegetarian / vegan options, some locations dont. Coffee is great, food is the same as always but they take a long time. Wait time is insane for a small sandwich. The cashier is insanely slow, I've visited a few times and it is always the cashier, sometimes the food is made and the cashier is wiping tables or in the back and the person prepping comes out and hands the sandwich. read more

I ordered 16 banh mi sandwiches on 11/15/2024 through Yelp for a 11/16/2024 pickup, with specific instructions -- no onions or jalapeños on specific sandwiches, and asked to label each sandwich using a code I provided in the order (important due to onion allergy). When I picked up the order, NONE of the sandwiches were labeled. I went back to point this out to the guy who handed me the order, and his excuse was, "I didn't have time to label." Then he actually said, "Can you just open each sandwich?" Are you kidding me?? The onions and jalapeños were buried between the meat and pickled turnip. How am I supposed to disassemble each sandwich to figure out which one is which?? I explained to him that one parent is allergic to onions and I asked for a replacement for just ONE (1) sandwich (#5 Grilled Pork, NO ONIONS). I ended up waiting over 30 minutes and missed my team's volleyball match just because I had to argue with him. He was completely hard-headed and unwilling to acknowledge the mistake. If you're not going to follow instructions, why even bother offering online ordering with special requests?? Huge waste of time. I won't be ordering from here again. read more

Walked into here for the first time because i was craving a bahn mi and it was close to SJSU. It was empty but the setting was nice and cute and there was also nice music playing. I was welcomed in and the person taking my order patiently waited as I was looking through the menu. I ordered the #14 Steamed Pork & Pate Bahn Mi, but for some reason it was not on the menu screen. I took my $9 sandwich home and was so happy about the size! I asked for my sandwich to be with everything and to be cut into thirds. My bread was fresh and soft while everything went perfect together. I was very happy with my sandwich 10/10! Only thing now is to add this restaurant to the Lee's Sandwiches Rewards App! read more

Twice in a row they are not open when online it claims they don't close until 7pm. They need to update their hours.

Lee's sandwich shop was a quick stop for lunch while in town for an event so made the walk over to order up since the online order was not available until 6pm. Instantly you knew why it was a bit unorganized in the ordering and order come out process. Multiple people saying I ordered this and got the incorrect item and I'm talking a chicken skewer ordered ended up coming out as a sandwich. After getting through the ordering process you get your number and each item gets called out one by one rather than getting the entire order out in one so you end up with 5 bags. The food was tasty, the #6 bbq pork bahn mi wasn't the best I've had but it was tasty, the bread had great texture and balance of crunch and chew and the filling paired well with the sweetness from the pork, the vinegar punch of the picked veggies and the spice from the jalapeño paired well. The sandwich was a great size for the price as well and filling so a bargain if you split it or save half for later on the day. The spring rolls were refreshing and fresh with a balanced peanut sauce for dipping. All in all a good meal but with the now open sign out front I think some time to fix some of the kinks out would make it even better. read more

The place is clean, brand new, soft opening stage, good customer service, good food and reasonable price here. I understand it's a chain restaurant/deli but I really enjoy this spot. My third visits because my school is just around the corner! Bánh Mì is solid. Beef stew is yummy but no fresh veggies with it, brown rice is the way to go! Pâté Chaux is quite nice (meat pie). Bánh Bao - steamed bun stuff with meat is so lid. Curry chicken is solid. 2 tables and high tops here, people mainly take the food to go. They almost have a lot of snacks too. My go to the next 3 years of law school! read more

I live right by Lee's so I pass by very often. The food is delicious especially at such an affordable price and I love their signature Iced coffee it's like they put crack in it. Usually I'll order the #1 or #11 before/after I go to work but I went with the spring rolls today and they gave me one free since it was BOGO. One box only had 2 rolls so he was kind enough to offer the sticky rice for free to make up for it but I declined since I felt like the free rolls were enough anyways, but he still included it (as a broke college student this meant a lot haha). The staff are the nicest people ever, the store is super clean and organized, the food is delicious and inexpensive, definitely one of my favorite go-to places read more

By far the besst quality banh mi sandwich I ever ate was from this location. Now im born and raised in sj so obviously ive enjoyed lee's sandwiches for a long time but this is the first time I checked out their newest location in downtown and Ive never had the BBQ pork so warm, tender and glazed with flavor. No shade to the other lees, but it usually is always served kinda dry and cold. Also i asked them for extra jalepeno and house mayo and they were pretty generous with all the veggies id say. i went yesterday on tuesday around 12:30, shout out to the kitchen!! read more

A good place if you need to grab food before class! I was originally looking for coffee before class and ended up seeing a Lee's Sandwiches and decided to get my coffee here instead. I had heard of Lee's sandwiches from some friends and decided to grab a grilled pork banh Mi as well! The workers took a while to notice that I was waiting in line and were having a conversation but after they realized they took my order quickly. They then greeted and took the other people's orders. The grilled pork banh mi was huge! It was super flavorful. I wish they had cut it in half so I could package the part that I didn't finish. I also got a blended coffee which was good. read more
