lee's sandwiches

awesome baguettes. thebreadis wonderful, i'm looking forward to trying the croissants.

i enjoy lee's. the variety of vietnamese sandwiches is unmatched. and the product is pretty good. freshbreadand ingredients. i do wish the taste was a notch above, however. this is sorta the subway of vietnamese sandwiches. got it? lol.

you also have to put up with numbers being called loudly over the speaker system. it is a bit distracting if you are looking for a quiet, intimate lunch. it's a marathon of activity and if you are looking to grab a good, quick sandwich, this is the place for you!

stopped by for breakfast one day, and lunch the next!  delicious and fast as always, even when there is a lot of people.  for breakfast, i recommend the ham, egg, & cheese croissant (which they stop serving that around 10:30am).  for lunch, i recommend any of their vietnamese banh mi sandwiches - some of the best sandwiches in oklahoma city!  my favorite is always #1 (special).  try it out and let me know what you think!

returned to lee's for a red bean smoothie - and it was delicious!  we always have and will continue to love their smoothies here, especially with boba.  the boba the last time we had a smoothie were kind of old, but this time around, they were easy to chew on, soft, and tasted like they were freshly made.  the smoothie was also very good and we enjoyed every bit of it on a hot day.

lee's sandwiches are not only very affordable, but loaded with straight-forward, wholesome flavors. after a very busy start of the morning, we dropped by for breakfast at lee's. the loyal patrons of the restaurant - mainly others meeting friends and family over coffee and breakfast - were present and there was a lot of them. as always, upon entering, we are greeted by the many flashing neon lights and colors of the place. it's lively, open, and always with appetizing smells in the air. there were also other people coming in and out ordering breakfast to go on their way to work, which is a very good idea. while the restaurant was serving breakfast, they were also serving all their lunch and dinner items as well (e.g. pho noodle soup, banh mi sandwiches, smoothies).

seeing that it was breakfast, my husband ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant and he ordered the #1 sandwich (a traditional vietnamese sandwich). mine was very hot, cheese melting and gushing off the edges of my very buttery, flaky croissant. the bacon was okay, but the egg, cheese, andbreadwas the best in that sandwich. my husband's looks unassuming, but there's tons of flavors in that traditional banh mi sandwich, and it was very good!

overall, we loved our experience and we would come back again! also, when we came, it was fun watching the bakers run the machine in the corner that bakes thebreadthen line them in the baking trays. even if lee's sandwiches is an international chain, it's nice to know that they straight-up bake their items, which adds more to the appeal of it all. like i said, we would come back and you should definitely give them a try - whether on the way to work, with your children, or by yourself - it's good for everyone who likes sandwiches, vietnamese food, smoothies, and quick, affordable meals!

great sandwiches & smoothies, especially for lunch!. it's always a pleasure to see this business so busy during the days and evenings! it really deserves it. the sandwiches are always delicious, made fresh, and quick (as long as there's not a person ordering 20 sandwiches in front of you - yes, this happened, and i don't blame them at all)! we've tried several flavors of their smoothies - with and without boba - and they are delicious. give lee's a try if you haven't already!

saigon is closed (the horror) and i had a craving. i was fairly happy with the flavors of banh mi i tasted at lee's. it is certainly more "commercial", but thebreadwas fresh, the grilled pork tender and flavorful and the veggies nice and crunchy. the avocado smoothie was the perfect finisher!

my fiancé & i are obsessed! anyone who complains about thebreadis silly. it's a baguette! but, if that isn't your taste, absolutely get the croissant. it's perfect. i always get the #11 & he gets the #67. there are several baked goods available, home made ice cream, & several different smoothies & teas. this place is delicious & very easy on the wallet. we can both eat here for less than the price of one meal at any nearby restaurant. staff (& even all the customers) are very kind.

this place probably looks less "threatening" for the non-asian diner than the itty bitty saigon baguette down the street, but i'm letting you know to skip it.breadwas very hard and meats didn't have any flavor. veggies (carrots in particular) were cut way too large and from the dirty taste, not peeled.

finally tried something other than a sandwich today. on special was beef curry that came with a whole baguette. it was nothing more than beef with a stew like curry, no veggies. i used thebreadto sop up the curry instead of eating it like soup. at $5.49 it was good and i'm glad i got it. really wished i got some gelato too as it is very tasty.

i love lee's! thebreadis a bit too crunchy for my taste, but it's a nice change. the smoothies are great (with tapioca pearls) and the ice cream includes flavors you won't find anywhere else.

i ordered a daily special of beef stew and a baguette. thebreadwas really, really good, and it was huge. the stew… not so much. it was in a thick gravy. the taste was an herb i didn’t recognize. raegan said it was coriander. i did not like it. the stew consisted of big chunks of carrots and beef. the beef was tough and tasteless, stringy, and had a lot of fat. i tossed it after having about 1/3 of it. it takes a lot for me to toss food. the baguette came home with us, so we can have it with dinner.

not bad.. not the most incredible bahn-mi i've encountered, but it's still very good. the service is fast, the vibe is good and the giantbreadmachine is pretty neat. any of the items on menu are worth checking out, however the durian, or jack fruit ice creams still entice me in a weird, almost john waters-esque way.

good place and fast service. the vegetables are always fresh and thebreadis homemade. this is a nice, large, clean place to eat. i'd recommend it to anyone.

friendly, fast, fantastic. fresh sandwiches on your choice of fresh baguettes or croissants. i always get the baguette. great lunch for $5. we also often stop in to get freshbreadfor $1 to take home to eat with dinner. they always throw in an extra, so you really get 2 for 1.

don't let the number of vehicles in the parking lot deter you from going to eat there. the lot is almost completely full of cars, but there's hardly ever any line or wait for your food. bizarre-o. maybe friends always meet there and drive themselves, or maybe they have a hundred folks working in the back. who knows, but it is rather odd.

great place.

very fresh excellent asian sandwiches on french bread. you can't beat a 10" for under $4, especially from a chain. they also sell bags of day oldbreadfor cheap.

cheap tasty sandwiches!. you can get a really decent sandwich for cheap at lee's! i couldn't believe my turkey, ham, and cheese (with mayo, lettuce, and tomato) on a fresh 10" baguette was only $3.45! as my date commented upon first bite, the baguette has a great crusty crunch, but starts to melt in your mouth! i tried the manjoo things some others mentioned on here, which i would liken to a little twinkie. i didn't particularly like them as the sweetbreadwas dense and tasted stale, but to be fair, they were sold out of the fresh ones and we had to try the day-old ones. and if i remember correctly, you can get a bag of day-old baguettes for just $1.15.

credit cards now. big banner out front says they're now accepting credit cards.

wonderful crusty baguettes. excellent iced coffee, sweet and bitter at the same time. i didn't use it but there's an atm inside.

oct. 12, 09: i hadn't noticed the free wi-fi until i saw someone using their computer today. the sandwiches are still great, mostly due to the excellent quality of the baguettes and croissants and fresh ingredients. there's just really no way for them to go wrong.

baguettes are still buy one get one. you can make awesome garlicbreadwith them and with 2 for one there's a chance you'll get one home. any time a serving suggestion says "serve with crusty bread" this would do the trick.

croissants come in small and large and are buttery and flaky.

ice cream comes in some familiar and some unusual flavors: plenty of chocolate and cookie choices, lee's coffee, and then there's mango, honeydew, kiwi.
