Today my boyfriend and I went to a restaurant called “Lee’s Sandwiches” located in Rosemead. They offer a variety of delicacies including Asian sandwiches, European sandwiches, pastries, iced drinks, hot drinks, gourmet coffee, Italian soda, fresh squeezed juice, desserts, smoothies, ice cream and much more. As I walked into this restaurant, I looked at the menu and it took me the longest time to decide on what to order. Eventually my boyfriend ordered the Lee’s Combination sandwich and I ordered a B.B.Q. Pork Sandwich, Sweet Rice (Xoi Man) & their famous iced coffee. The total for all of this came out to be $10.45, which I felt was a pretty good deal for two people. This place does not take credit cards or checks, so make sure you have some cash handy.
The B.B.Q . Pork sandwich ($2.45) consisted of sliced Chinese barbeque pork, house pickle (daikon & carrots), onions, jalapenos, house mayonnaise, salt & pepper, and soy sauce on a 10-inch baguette. I felt that this sandwich was delightful and fulfilling. The vegetables were fresh and the pork was sweet and delicious. It’s definitely not your typical subway sandwich. The only complaint I have about the sandwich is that the baguette is a bit rough to the point that it kind of scratched up the roof of my mouth. Other than that, I would definitely order this again.
Lee’s Combination sandwich ($2.45) consisted of sliced jambon, headcheese & pate, house pickle (daikon & carrots), onions, jalapenos, house mayonnaise, salt & pepper, and soy sauce on a 10-inch baguette. My boyfriend liked the flavors from the sandwich. He didn’t really like the pickled vegetables, but I think it’s more of an acquired taste.
Lee’s Iced Coffee ($2.25) consisted of filtered coffee mixed with condensed milk. I had to try this since it’s so popular amongst the customers. Personally, I thought the coffee was too bitter and needed more sugar. Maybe I’m just not a coffee person, but I probably wouldn’t order this again unless I had some sugar with me.
Special deals going on at the moment:
$1 baguettes
Buy two 16oz frozen café latte concentrates and get one free
Buy a pork roll and a get a free baguette
Overall, the prices were reasonable and the food was delicious. They even have a drive-thru, so if you’re feeling a bit lazy then this is a perfect place to swing by. I like how they offer a wide assortment of food to eat, which left me feeling satisfied. And I thought five dollar foot-longs were a good deal, but this takes the cake!
