Lee's Sandwiches

55 Locations, including many in Southern California

When my lovely wife and I went to get our new puppy east off the 60, we stoppee in a mall for lunch and decided to go with Lee's Sandwiches. This was a large and clean chain restaurant, with inexpensive Vietnamese Bahn Mi, as well as American sandwiches on fresh baked 10 inch French Bread. And did I mention cheap? Now the prices seem different between stores, but still run between $3 and $4 for the average sandwich!

Even better the sandwiches are delicious! So far we have tried the Grilled Pork and the Special with Jambon, headcheese and pate. Both are fantastic, with great crunch from the veggies, but the grilled pork is just fantastic! And seems to be the same between different stores!

Different stores have various different appetizers and foods. And they have delicious smoothies, and I recomend the passion fruit!

At the first store we looked up the place online, and were delighted to find there is a branch right near us in North Hills, as well as one in Lake Balboa. The prices are slightly higher in North Hills, but the same quality food with more appetizers, and various asian candies. And it looks like it is doing great! We could not be more delighted.

It may not be the best bahn mi in the world, but the quality is great and consistent, the taste is good and the prices are great! Why would I ever eat at Subway when I can have this?

Manila Sunset, Filipino Fast Food, North Hills, CA

%18-%03-%2014, %RFast Food, Filipino

Manila Sunset 9516 Sepulveda Blvd North Hills, CA 91343 Phone number (818) 895-2001 My wife was feinding for some Filipino food, and since it was so close and so highly rated we went. She loved it, but I was not as impressed. This is in a strip mall pretty near were we live, with a decent amount of parking. The place is very clean and fast, but is a fast food place. Sure it has some decent flavors, but nothing that blew me away, though the lumpia shanghai was good. Still the portions could have been bigger for the price. They have a pretty decent menu though, and there are certainly other things I would try. Good enough for a quick bite, but certainly not fancy. Decent enough.

On our recent trip back to Annapolis to take care of my father's dogs, my lovely girlfriend Kelly had been fiending for a Ruben, so when doing a little look at main street we saw the sign in the Market House, and decided to try it for lunch the next day. We were both expecting a restaurant, but when we went in we learned that the Market House is a city owned premises where various food places rent and have stands, and the Galway Bay was one of those stands, where you get your food and take it outside to sit at little tables around the building or stand up at bars around the inside in between the food stalls. We were a little put off, but decided to give it a try.

I had been looking forward to this place, which bills itself as having the LEANEST BURGERS IN AMERICA for a while, since one of the producers I have been working with mentioned it to me. And I have to say I was very disappointed. I was not too impressed at all, though I did like the syrups and formulas you can add to your soda, though they can't be good for you, and don't make up for the unimpressive and borring hamburgers and fries this place serves.

Certainly can't be considered real greek food with the instant rice, and substandard pita bread, but still not that bad in a rush, if only because of the yogurt sauce. This is an OK fast food place, that is probably at least a little healthier than your local burger joint. And this one is at the new best buy/target mall, so if you are looking for a quick bite it won't kill you.

A quite large restaurant in what was obviously a strip mall at the North West corner of Victory Blvd and Clark Ave, this place has some great food, and is well worth checking out. In fact I can guarantee I will be going here again. Not only is this the best Philly Cheese Steak that I have had in Los Angeles, but the Pizza is pretty damn good thin crust New York style pizza. My only complaint is they seem to have forgotten my order, and so it took way too long, but I will give them a second chance.

Right in downtown Burbank, you need to park in public parking, but this restaurant is quite tasty and incredibly cheap with huge portions.Well worth trying for lunch.

I have to admit I have I have like Boba Cha (tea) since I first had it years ago at Noodle Planet in Westwood, and have since tried it at many places, and many different Lollicup's and it is amazing how each one can be so different, like the ones in Chinatown are totally different than the ones in Korea town. Anyway, I really like this one, that has a huge selection of Boba, Taiwanese Ice, and even hot prepared snack foods.
