    About Lee's Sandwiches

    Behind every great American entrepreneurial success story stands a united family. The Lee Family in San Jose is one such example of hard-working Americans that have built a thriving restaurant and food service business. In 2001, the family created a new concept: a mixture of bright, energetic restaurant sandwich environment, entertainment cafe and Asian-American cuisine. In addition to the traditional Vietnamese ''banh mi'' sandwiches, there are traditional American sandwiches such as ham and cheese served on baguettes or croissants.
    Lee’s Sandwiches began opening locations in Northern California, Southern California, Arizona, Texas and Oklahoma. Today, Lee’s Sandwiches has over sixty locations all across the country with further plans to expand.
