Lee's Sandwiches - San Francisco

I was originally on my way to a different shop for a banh mi but my plan changed when I saw the sign for Lee's. I haven't had it in years since I left Oklahoma City and could almost taste the iced coffee. The bread was so delicious and it was such a wonderful treat to have.

Affordable Vietnamese style sandwiches. Bread and veggies were fresh. There was a decent amount of chicken, but it was a little dry. Cash only.

Lots of variety, from warm desserts, che, coconuts, vietnamese sandwiches, and more. The prices are great, and $5.50 goes a long way. Would definitely go again for a quick and cheap bite to eat in the city with friends that arent too picky with their food

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are closed now. Other days open 7am-3pm. They have a lease/for sale sign on the building. Not sure if it'll close when owner is able to sell, so come buy your Vietnamese desserts and food while you can. Best deal in SF! Only place selling that much variety of Vietnamese plated desserts in SF!! I bought the tricolor coconut shredded Tam Khoai Mi $3.99, durian essence Banh Da Lon $3.99, and green leaf wrapped cha $7. (There is an empty spot in my picture because I bought it haha.)I feel sad about the condition of Little Saigon/Tenderloin. SF government needs to do more cleaning up the streets, poop, and making sure homeless and inappropriate people don't loiter. They accept credit cards.

Lee's Sandwiches felt like it has seen better days. There used to be so many food items when you first walk-in but now those items are put away. The menu on the wall is faded with prices written over. Lee's could be an option if the line is too long down the street at the other sandwich places. While waiting for my combo banh mi $6.50 and Korean BBQ banh mi $10, I had this overwhelming feeling of unfairness. It is tough to see the female workers having to deal with the dilapidated conditions outside. It wasn't always like this. Regardless, the banh mi's were OK. They are best enjoyed on the same day. It isn't as good if I put in the refrigerator.
