Came during lunch to come grab a turkey avocado sandwich. Overall great sandwich, plenty of sitting on the inside. I was greeted by an indifferent staff person and ambiance was bland. Free 90 minute parking in the Downtown city garages.
After passing through this place so many times today I decided to have my lunch there and won't be the last time.
Inside, the place smells good, is clean, tidy, and tidy. The staff are friendly and serve the customers as quickly as possible. Its menu is very varied, with options for everyone (vegetarians, vegans, meat lovers, bowls lovers, if you want something salty, sweet, or both.)
I ordered:- Fresh vegan spring rolls- Cured pork sandwich (cured pork, house pickle, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, salt & pepper, soy sauce, and house mayonnaise)- Grilled pork sandwich (grilled pork, house pickle, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, salt & pepper, soy sauce, and house mayonnaise)- Asian salad bowl with portobello mushroom- cookie
Everything was on point and I still thinking about the cookie!
12.99 per bowl now. It’s gone up but still one of lower priced meals in the area
The outside looked like it was located at an old shopping center but as I entered the restaurant it was very nice and clean. They followed the safety guidelines in social distancing. Restroom clean and everything looked sanitized. The variety of food they offer was freshly prepared or baked and the smell to the Baguettes they sell was inviting. Me and my husband ordered, spam and egg sandwiches, curry chicken, steamed pork buns, shrimp spring rolls and chicken n meatball kabobs. Beverages we nice and cold as well and I can say that their staff keeps the entire place clean.
Got a couple sandwiches and drinks for take out. Ordered the #5 and #6 BBQ banh mi. Both were very good, but I’d ask for extra jalapeño or spicy sauce next time. The French bread was good and crispy, the meat was a little scarce, but it was pretty delicious. I also picked up a bag of lychee gummy candy. They were ok by themselves, but putting them in the freezer made them excellent!!!
I do agree with the other review where the ice in drinks is too much, but that doesn’t deserve a 1 star.
I’d come back here if I was in the area again.
The best tasty Vietnamese sandwiches and many other Asian food, especially VN food.
Excellent customer services.
Wish to have more of these quality food places in the DMV area.
Get the iced coffee.
Fun fact: my family in Vietnam housed the founder in Vietnam for short time. My parents came to Oakland in 84 and Lee’s founder taught my parents how to make and sell banh mi so they could open their own store.
My parents were happy to hear of how successful Lee became. Small world.
Number 6 all day grilled pork bahn mi is to die cry laugh whatever you want to do because you're gonna do it it's that mind controlling and emotionally good.
Great sandwich selection. The bread they make is soft and fluffy. Good quality. I would recommend for sure.
Solid Bahn mi, but the meat was dry. Got Thai iced tea to go along with it, good flavor and balance of sugar to tea. Probably not going back, but mostly because it’s a 99 mile drive from where I live.
