Lee's Sandwiches - Oklahoma City

The perfect tennis lunch (for the entire team and coaches also) during tournament season, the food is very inexpensive and delicious. Each time I come to the Oklahoma City area, I would stop by and buy plenty of sandwiches and their fresh-made 'banh mi ' (bread) at their inexpensive rate.<br/ <br/ The place gets really crowded sometimes, but literally it is worth the wait. The bubble tea is great too. I wish I lived closer, this is a healthier alternative than subway or any other sandwich place.<br/ <br/ I think all my friends and family come here and I would recommend the 'banh mi thit nuong (I think it is #5 on their menu). '

Lee's Sandwiches serve up a mighty fine Franco Vietnamese sandwich. Rarely is there a day that I drive through OKC’s Asian District and not see a ton of cars in the parking lot of the ever popular restaurant Lee’s Sandwiches.<br/ <br/ Sure, there are other sandwich places within view (one that is the biggest chain in the world and features a formerly fat man named Jared as their spokesman) of Lee’s, but their parking lots aren’t nearly as full.<br/ <br/ To me, that’s always a good sign. Clearly Lee’s Sandwiches – a Vietnamese fast food chain has a good reputation. I’d been once before and found it to be pretty good. And since I was in the neighborhood doing a story on the Chinese New Year (Year of the Goat) celebrations, Lee’s seemed like a quick place to grab a banh mi sandwich, a sort of Franco Vietnamese sandwich feaured on a baguette.<br/ <br/ For me, having given up meat for Lent, I went for the “Number 12” vegetarian sandwich. Complete with fried tofu, vermicelli, bean curd, yam, carrot, house pickle, jalapeno, cilantro, salt pepper, and soy sauce, I took one bite and smiled. By the time I was dune, crunching through the lightly toasted baguette and all the goodness inside, I thought it was the best vegetarian sandwich I’d ever had. And while I had a special brothy soup (with other vegetable ingredients to add as needed), it was the sandwich that was the focus of my delicious Lee's meal. I should add that Lee's is very generous with their portions. You definitely get what you pay for.<br/ <br/ The interior is well lit and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful and there is plenty of seating and even a few seats outside. <br/ <br/ The San Jose, California based chain, with shops in California, of course, along with Oklahoma, Nevada, Oregon, Texas and Arizona, has proven very successful here in OKC, with its sizable Asian population and non Asians who have happily discovered the tasty fare that Lee’s has to offer.<br/ <br/ In line, you pass by packaged goodies from foreign and domestic sources – candy and cookies, etc. – and coolers full of healthy and less healthy beverages and soft drinks. Essentially, the options are many.<br/ <br/ And despite being an out of state chain, Lee’s takes community – and the idea of “think globally, act locally” very seriously. They regularly raise funds for victims of hurricanes and typhoons, either in North America or in Asia.<br/ <br/ For more information go to [hidden link] or visit the Oklahoma City location at 3300 N.

Good. Since Saigon Baguette closed I have been going to Lee's. It is good, but not the best I have tasted. The avocado shake was rather wimpy. I think they were being stingy with the avocado for this shake. I am sure they have something there that I will love, so will keep trying their different dishes.

Do you like to feel like you just drove the white line highway but can’t because it’ll ruin your life? Again. Well that’s what Lees iced coffee is for! One a day keeps the crippling anxiety turned on for hours. I love this place!

I always get the grilled pork sandwich. It's always better than I remember it, and I remember it fondly. Just very unique and fresh tasting, with that kick from the fresh jalepenos! Also deli manjoos are awesome and fun to say
