Lee's Sandwiches - San Francisc

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.

Affordable Vietnamese food in tenderloin. Just back here after few months and all the windows at street level are boarded up. I supposed it closed. You can try “chè thái” and “bánh mì” here. I came for “bánh da lợn” and “xôi”.

The location in the Tenderloin is EXTREMELY difficult. All the windows at street level are boarded up and from afar, it appears closed. Apparently, the windows have been broken on purpose SEVEN times. There is no stock on the shelves. The che thai was wonderful, and my cured pork/pate banh mi was WONDERFUL.

Excellent banh mi sandwiches! Unfortunately the neighborhood the store is located is not exactly tourist friendly.. or people friendly…
