Stumbled here after grabbing Phở to cure our hangovers from the night before. I ordered the combo banh mi to go, for our flight back to Seattle, and the sandwiches are simple, the bread is fresh and it’s better than any Subway. Tip for those who’ve had the authentic banh mi with pâté… add a little soy sauce to your sandwich to boost up the umami. I thought the combo was a little bland, but then again I like my sodum.

Had the bbq pork sandwich here a few times and its great and cheap. The bread is awesome. Had a pork and egg steamed roll also, not that good. Kept hearing about the iced coffee so i thought i would try it. Also heard they put too much ice. So i order it with light ice and they give it to me packed to the top, i said i asked for light ice and he brings it back ¾ full. I pay $ 5 for a coffee and u cant even fill it up? So if i got no ice i guess im getting half a cup or less? Pretty stingy. Coffee was good, nothing spectactular, wouldnt get it again

I love all Lee’ses, and this is no exception. It’s pricier than Lee’s at home(LA and environs), but unlike in LA, if you order a drink with no ice, they still fill it to the top. See my Garden Grove review for info on specific food and drink(and a photo of a ¼-full cup of coffee without ice… and a bag of ice on the side). One time our car was blocked in and we were unable to leave the parking lot due to TV cameras and«men in black» with their SUVs of black. Later found out it was because Hillary Clinton came to visit! We were feet away from her enjoying the fresh-baked bread, haha. Came here a billion times while on vacation here and sick of paying exorbitant strip prices for food and tired of finding out all my authentic Chinese go-to places have closed down in the past few years. It is bigger than most locations with the exception of the also 24-hour Garden Grove location(my regular). One thing I prefer about this location is that they take card for purchases over $ 10. I don’t remember if they have nighttime surcharges like Garden Grove but their prices are all generally higher than the locations in CA. But I guess that’s the price you pay(literally) for being able to get real banh mi so close to the strip. This strip mall is extremely popular and the parking lot is long, narrow, and hard to maneuver. It can be hard to find parking near the place you want.

The food is good. Not super amazing, but it’s good lunch food, and a favorite for most locals. The bread is always perfect when I eat at any of the locations. Lots of drink and boba options. They even have asian grocery snacks that you can buy. Prices are decent, I think, for the quality. The restaurant itself is really nice. It’s spacious and bright and usually always clean. If you need to go somewhere to hang out or kill time, it’s a good alternative to Starbucks.

This location is 24 hours, so we are able to swing by whenever we drive through town! The sandwiches are a great price for what you are getting: crunchy bread filled with flavorful meats and lightly pickled vegetables. Lee’s is always well lit and clean with the best customer service. There is so much seating inside and we noticed an abundance of posters of Hillary Clinton eating at Lee’s at our last visit. The cashiers are always helpful with recommendations and order clarifications. My go-to order is the grilled pork sandwich with vegetables on the side when I am not eating it immediately. I also like to order the other Vietnamese goods like the pâté chaud and egg rolls, but nothing beats the Vietnamese iced coffee here! So potent and so good. This place is consistent, inexpensive, and a great alternative to fast food sandwiches. This is a guarantee stop whenever we drive through town on road trips.

Good old Lee’s Sandwiches. I’ll have to say that I am a fan of this place and they have plenty of food varites to offer from. The prices are cheap and the food is filling and its a great place to stop in late night in Vegas if you got nothing else going on or just hitted way to hard at the clubs. =) I’ll see you again soon Lee’s sandwiches. Try it out if you haven’t!

Not a bad sandwich place. I had Lee’s before in SF. This is open 24⁄7. They have plenty of seating inside and other snacks for you to buy. I got the grilled pork sandwich and the traditional viet sandwich. They were good, but the grilled pork I had better. The bread was fresh and chewy.

1) For the overall Lee’s chain, I’m a big fan. Love the sandwich quality, taste and portion size 2) For this specific Lee’s branch, I’m a fan. Large dining space. Clean. Plenty of area to check out the other products for sale(snacks, drinks). TVs and wifi available. Staff is courteous and wants customers to not wait that long. I usually get the #11 Special Combination or #1 Combination Asian sandwiches — both on which I consider to be one of the best bahn mi’s I’ve ever had, despite it coming out of a chain restaurant. Remember to use the Epoxy app for their loyalty system. Buy 10 sandwiches, get 1 free. I’d rather stick to the old card because the app is a little clumsy.

Since Lee’s Sandwiches stores start poppin up like Mc Donalds in neighborhoods. I instantly fell in love with their fresh Banh Mi n Vietnamese coffee! This store location in LV Chinatown is a great addition n the 24⁄7 operation hrs is super! Even the poster in front of the store indicate future first lady president Hilary Clinton gave her shield of approval. How cool is that!

Came here for a pick me up drink and enjoyed their mango boba. This location is easy to get to and has reasonable prices. I will come here again for sure.

I used to come here before I discovered where to get the perfect banh mi to my liking. I knew it was ahhhite, but would come anyway because my mouth would long for that banh mi experience. In HI, I used to go to Bale… it was worth scraping the roof of my mouth for. Okay, back to Lee’s. It’s fun because they are 24hours, the offer an array of banh mi’s, and serve other items I haven’t bothered to memorize. They do sell other items in their refrigerated area if you are one of those out-of-towner who is looking to take something back. Honestly, my experiences with their banh mi sandwiches were… my sandwich was skim, and my bread would be in pergatory somewhere. Pergatory, meaning… wasn’t quite toasted and wasn’t quite cold. Then other times… I wasn’t sure if it was stale or overly toasted. But how could that be possible considering I’ve gone on nights where they are in baking their french rolls. Perhaps I should’ve requested a fresh roll, but I don’t like to make a big olé deal especially if we’re talking about a 3 dollar something sandwich. Anyway, I wouldn’t stray someone from coming here. I’d point them in a different direction first, though. But if you wanna come in and try it out… go ahead. They aren’t that bad at all especially if it’s 3 in the am and you find yourself desperate for a banh mi.

If you need some Viet Coffee, Lee’s is the spot. Needed a pick me up and came to Lee’s. Parking lot is tight here. Restaurant is huge. Iced Coffee, large — $ 4.75 — So over priced now! Sweet and strong! Coconut Waffles($ 1.99) and Manjoos($ 1.29 for 4) are great sweets here also.

The dilemma Asian or European style? You guessed it! I have been eating euro style my entire life this night will be different… Asian it is. The baguette was really good. They have a bread making factory pumping out this crunchy goodness every second. The croissants are very fresh, buttery and like a true Californian flakey also. The Asian meats choices were very different both in cut and texture. The yellow mayo was slightly sweet unlike best foods style but it was good. I like the pickled veggies and cilantro and divided about the slivered jalapeño. I liked the combo offer that comes with egg rolls instead of chips. This location is opened 24 hours and has plenty of seating for late night chillin. Give something different a try… you might like it.

Well, I love Vietnamese Bahn mi’s and Vietnamese food in general, but Lees has such an extravagant menu and plenty of options even for the picky eater . I ordered the #5 combo — Thįt Nuong(grilled BBQ pork) on a baguette– pickled carrots, cilantro and jalapeños. Yum in my book! It also came with two egg rolls and I upgraded my drink to a Lees Vietnamese coffee($ 2 more). If you’ve never had Vietnamese coffee, proceed with caution … It’s basically liquid cocaine, but sorry guys no cocaine just strong coffee & sweetened condensed milk, I believe . Food and coffee overall was great like always, but the bathrooms are disgusting. Shoe marks everywhere, toilets unflushed and overflowing trash cans. I know girls bathrooms are messy and sometimes gross in general but this one needs to some attentive and diligent cleaning.

When did Lees get so corporate??? I used to go to a Lees when I was younger and it was the best bang for your buck… But I guess either massive inflation hit or because this Lees is in Vegas… $ 4.50 for the number 1 special! That’s nearly $ 5! What is this? A Vietnamese subway?! Banh mis are known for their value… Cheap eats, usually a banh mi would cost you like $ 3 or even buy 2 get one free… It might be this location? But if that’s the price, Lees sandwiches have gone up. They also don’t have nem anymore… But they did have cha lua and if you buy it they give you a loaf of bread… Great deal but you’re paying $ 6 for cha lua… I guess I’m used to paying $ 1 – 2 less. Maybe it’s this location… We made a pit stop to eat breakfast and got some sandwiches for lunch. It was okay…

I come here strictly for the Bahn Mi sandwiches. I recommend getting the #1 and #11. They are both the combo sandwich. The steamed pork bun is also delicious Everything is so delicious and affordable. They are also known for their iced coffee. I had to try since everyone I knew was hyping it up. It was pretty good and very creamy. A little too sweet and strong for my liking. Its basically a vietnamese iced coffee. The service is always great and fast everytime I visit. This place is perfect if you are hungry and need something to hold you over. A MUST try!

Lee’s Sandwiches is definitely the place to get your snack on. It’s located in a shopping center in the middle of Chinatown, which most of the time, sucks driving in no matter what. Lee’s is definitely a go-to at any time of the day simply because they have affordable food that’s a little above average in quality. I usually come during late night hours after work or class because it’s not really busy and it isn’t too pricey to break the bank. The interior is bright. There’s neon lights everywhere, colorful displays of food and bottled drinks off to the sides(like the jellies that come in the animal-shaped jars), and upbeat Top 100 type music playing. It literally looks like a scene from iCarly or some other show on Nick LOL. Their taro milk tea with boba is actually pretty good. I think at some places the taro boba is a hit or a miss. Lee’s pretty much has it(almost) perfect. It’s sweet and not watered down. The boba is a little sparing, but it’s the perfect consistency — not too mushy, and not undercooked and hard. Ask for less ice if you don’t want your drink to be 85% ice and the rest actual liquid and boba. I’m a big fan of their BBQ Pork steamed buns. The dough isn’t dry when you bite in, and although the meat filling is bundled up in the center of the bun, it’s actually really tasty! The filling is very sweet/savory and is one snack that can hold you over for a while(at least for me it does). Most of the time, they have steamed buns available but sometimes they can be completely wiped out of them because they’re so good. They have other snacks that are equally as delicious like the chicken wings and the egg rolls. They’re super addicting as well! If you don’t want to drive all over Chinatown for decent boba and cheap snack-like food, then Lee’s has got your back!

I’ve really enjoyed Lee’s sandwiches in the past, but the food from here was okay. BBQ pork sandwich was a 2-star. The bread wasn’t how I remember the Lee’s baguettes. Maybe it was the texture, it didn’t have the crunch on the outside followed by soft bread in the inside. Egg rolls were not too shabby. 3 stars. I’ll stick to the hot food items and skip the sandwiches here next time.

Delicious banh mi! This was on our list of places to eat in Vegas. We got there about noon on a Monday and the place was packed. The line was almost out the door. We got 2 sandwiches(thit noung and dac biet) and fried springrolls. The sandwiches were delicious although I prefer how the baguettes are in Atlanta where I live. The fried springrolls were delish as well. If you love Vietnamese coffee, you need to buy their concentrate version. It cost a little more than the one already made but you just need add it to some ice and a little water. you can make 3 or 4 cups with one container of their concentrate. Check this place out if you’re in Vegas. They’re open 24 hours.
