    1. Lee's Combination
    Harlene P.

    I had ordered a #1 bahn mi to go. When I got home and took a bite, it did not taste right. I open it up and this is what the meat looked like. It has a certain smell to it as well. I only know it was off because the #1 combination is the only sandwich I have ever ordered myself in all the numerous times I've gone to any Lee's sandwich location. I've ordered from this particular location in the past and had not had problems then with my food until today.

    They literally posted in their Instagram they had it in stock 7 minutes ago. Why post it if you don't have it in store.

    This location is advertising the Biscoff cookie iced coffee, had me waiting for 15 minutes to tell us they didn't have it in stock, didn't offer to refund it just said pick something else instead. Came here to pay almost $10 for a regular ass coffee that was almost all Ice. Do not come here.

    32. Lemon Grass Tofu Banh Mi
    Nuran S.

    This is my favorite lee's location. I know they have a lot of nicer/newer locations but this one is just too convenient and too consistent to ever give up. I've been coming here since I went to SJSU and no matter what I try on the menu the ingredients are always fresh - everything is made to order unless you're grabbing their to go options which are so convenient when I'm running behind for a meeting. The honorary order is the lemongrass tofu bahn mi and the grilled shrimp spring rolls but just recently I tried their shrimp bowl and fell in love! I'll pretty much always come back but it helps that the staff is so sweet and always so accommodating.

    5. Grilled Pork Banh Mi
    Ethan W.

    The McDonald's of banh mi out here in downtown SJ. #5 grilled pork banh mi: overall it's alright. Grilled pork wasn't particularly tender but it's got some flavor with the marinade. The bread here is always strikingly pale on the exterior, but it's got some texture on it and isn't too dry. Always middle of the pack for Lee's in comparison to other banh mi spots. It is pricier than a lot of the other options in nearby Little Saigon. Overall this place is alright. It'll satisfy a craving for banh mi, but there are definitely better options nearby.

    Great sandwich for the quantity and price. I got the #50, my partner got the #11 and then a 2nd banh mi that I can't remember. We also ordered the sticky rice dish they have on the counter and then 2 chicken skewers. Everything (for 6 items) came to about $50 (including tip), great sandwich, would come back again.

    So I always love LEES SANDWICHES! The Sammies here are always made so good and taste delicious, however the service is always so slow. They take forever to make them! The restaurant is sit in, take out, and designed nicely. But the restaurant isn't typically clean at all! Always come here because it's close to my son's barbershop!

    4. Grilled Chicken Banh Mi

    I picked up a bunch of chicken sandwiches for me and som friends. I ordered over the phone so I was able to skip the lunch rush line. If you know what you want that is the way to go. They also offer a bill CG of different pastries that are fresh. I will need to try some of them next time. There is plenty of seating if you want to eat in. They have a clean gender neutral bathroom. You will need to get the code from them. I forgot my receipt and called to get it sent to me. They were so helpful and texted it to me. This is definitely a place to use again when I am hungry and near city hall in San Jose.

    Wow, quality at its finest. I never really tasted the other Vietnamese places. I usually order vermicelli bowls with egg rolls and tofu. This place has Banh MI rolls which I have never tasted before. It looked pretty basic. But once you try it, it is better than subway. The flavors, the spiciness and the ingredients are fresh and delicious. The pricing was fair and good budget for college students who do not make much. They also have pre-made meals cold and warm for affordable prices at the front. The interior is Clean and the environment is calm. The service was great, the woman at the front was friendly. She had a Vietnamese accent that was sweet. The quality and taste of the food was astounding though. Maybe it is because I haven't eaten a good meal in months but I would defintely come back due to the flavors and affordability. The food filled me up moderately. I ordered 2 jumbo spring rolls for 7$ a little pricey and a banh MI vegetarian for about 7$. I recommend to get both. Overall, if you like subway, to-gos or any type of Philly cheesesteak. This place has the resources for lovers of those type of sandwiches but healthier.

    The sandwich was terrible. Barely had any spreading. Tasteless. The bread was burnt. Hard. Seems like it's old bread from the day before. Never coming here again.

    Came here and the worker (who had a nose ring) was coughing up a storm and either wasn't covering up or was coughing directly into his hands while handing me my change. Made me lose my appetite. Service was very slow and we were the only ones there at the time. To top it off, they have this sign up on their register saying that if we don't get a receipt to text them for a free meal. When I did, I never received a response. I followed up a few times and still no response or acknowledgment. They really don't care if you don't get a receipt. Bunch of liars.

    Solid "fast food" bahn mi's at Lee's. Not the best out there, but not bad for the price. I like all the options for sandwich fillings Lee's offers (there's like 20+ combos), and my go-to is BBQ pork or chicken with extra pickled daikon. They also have a "happy hour" a half hour prior to closing where many of the packaged items are discounted, like spring rolls or desserts. Service is good, but something about this Lees gives cockaroachy vibes, and there's always super sketch (possibly homeless) people hanging out inside/outside. Probably just the area in general, but wish they made more of an attempt to keep the interior and exterior better maintained.

    6/20/2026 Lacaphe…read morewas our last stop of the day, and I'm so glad we ended here! The place was packed, but the line moved quickly. We ordered the Saigon Freeze, Muoi, and COCO Freeze. My Saigon Freeze was hands‑down the best--like a super tasty Frappuccino. My sisters got the Muoi, which was really good but a little strong, and my sister's boyfriend got the COCO Freeze, which wasn't my favorite only because I'm not a coconut person. There were plenty of places to sit, and the vibe was super chill with a mix of families and people just hanging out. Everyone kept talking about how good my drink was--it really was that good! If I'm ever in San Jose again, I'm 100% coming back just for that Saigon Freeze.

PARKING: Lots of parking inside a plaza, but could be very hard to find a space if it is super busy. PLACE: Spacious & lots of tables and chairs to sit at, you place your order on a kiosk or you can order through the cashier. You pick up at the counter, and they send a text when it's ready but if it's busy they just call your name instead. DRINKS: Lychee - wasn't super sweet since I chose 50% but great lychee taste and there's lychee inside of the drink! Kumquat - My mouth got numb after lol but it was super good, reminds me so much of calamansi. Decent place to get some coffee or drinks!

    When it comes to matcha, THEY KNOW BALL lol I don't know what took me this long to finally try…read moreAcademic, but my only regret is not visiting sooner. It may actually be a strong contender to dethrone my current #1 matcha spot in South Bay I arrived with the full intention of trying their coveted banana matcha latte, but had to pivot to try their seasonal melon matcha latte once I saw it on the menu. Amazinggg flavor! The matcha was creamy, earthy, and just strong enough. The melon flavor was so well executed in this drink and you definitely taste the melon notes right away, which was delightful. It was refreshing and fruity without being overpowering. Best way I can describe it is like a honeydew Melona ice cream bar melted into a matcha latte. My friend got the double matcha guava latte with a guava cream top, which was delicious and tropical, but we both agreed that the melon matcha latte was the standout by far. I'm already planning when I can go back for it before they switch out their seasonal drinks! We came on a weekday afternoon, so there wasn't much of a line at all. It's a relatively small space for a coffee shop with limited seating/tables inside, but they have a cute little outdoor seating area with benches. I presume it would get pretty cramped on busy weekends, so I'd say it isn't really an ideal study cafe, but you could definitely make it work for a little solo study sesh and they have free wifi. There are metered parking spots along the street that I didn't have an issue finding nearby. Important note: they don't take cash.

    Our drinks took 15-20 minutes to come out. The coffee shop is nice and has nice door seating…read more My friend and I ordered the Vanilla Latte + Pandan Latte, both of which were not filled up all the way. Also, they lacked the difference in taste and we couldn't tell apart the difference in orders. The Vietnamese iced coffee was horrible. It was so dark and bitter and left a really strange aftertaste. Though I will say the matcha guava was really good. The cream top tasted like fresh guava, and it complemented the matcha very well. That was the only redeeming drink here.

I tried the Honey Black Sesame Latte, and while I wasn't sure I would like it, I ended up loving it! The flavor was super delicious, and went really well with the espresso flavor. We also ordered the avocado toast which is made on a Japanese milk bread slice. The seasoning toppings were super interesting and yummy, just maybe would have liked a bit more of the toppings personally. I really liked the larger menu of super unique drinks and definitely will be coming back to try a couple more that caught my eye! People are super nice and even though it's busy (for a good reason) there is plenty of parking and places to sit indoors and some outdoors.

    Interesting digital coffee shop…read more I was excited to see this shop was located in the same shopping center as Mitsuwa. Parking can be tricky, but, luckily, we snagged a spot right in front of the doors. Walking in, every table was filled with people working, talking, and hanging out. The staff were busy yet friendly and welcoming. I ordered a Honey Black Sesame Latte with Oat Milk and my partner got a drip coffee. Our order came out in less than 10 minutes, even though there were many orders ahead of ours. I found the digital system to be interesting to watch while I waited for our drinks. My latte was very tasty and balanced. My partner's drip coffee was okay, nothing to write home about. Overall, nice coffee shop experience. Not sure if I would go out of my way to try it again, but it is worth it if you're in the area!
